Week Five

Last week were some really good games. It was also the week where Kaylee and I differed the most. This week there are some excellent games. Outside of Utah, there are three great games between highly ranked teams. Kaylee went 2-4, and I went 4-2. That brings Kaylee to 11-13, and I am now at 16-8 on the season.

Toledo at BYU

Jordan's Pick: BYU Kaylee's Pick: BYU

BYU is just looking for even a glimmer of hope at making a bowl game at this point. Toledo is looking to keep its undefeated season going. Statistically, Toledo is much better, but they also have played Arkansas State, Maine and Fresno State. BYU has played all Power 5 schools this year in Arizona, Utah, UCLA and West Virginia. I fully expect BYU to win and probably big. This may be the game where it all comes together for BYU.

No. 18 Utah at Cal

Jordan's Pick: Utah Kaylee's Pick: Utah

Utah is coming off a comeback win over USC. Cal is hoping to get its first conference win after losing to Arizona State. Yet, Cal is favored. Cal has huge numbers through the air so far, while Utah has a very good defense. Utah only allows about 15 points per game while Cal allows 42 while scoring 45. These two teams couldn't be more different from each other. I think Utah's defense will be able to keep the passing game in check and Cal won't be able to run at all. Cal won't be able to stop Utah's new-found confidence in its offense.

Utah State at No. 24 Boise State

Jordan's Pick: Boise State Kaylee's Pick: Boise State

Utah State is already in a hole in conference play, and I think that hole is going to get a little bit deeper this week. Boise State may not be Boise State of the past, but I don't think Utah State is good enough to knock them off this year. Boise State should handle them and win by about 17 points.

No. 7 Stanford at No. 10 Washington

Jordan's Pick: Washington Kaylee's Pick: Stanford

A Pac-12 game in week five with huge playoff implications according to most media members. Washington is one of the favorites for winning the Pac-12, while Stanford is the reigning champion. Stanford's Christian McCaffrey might win the Heisman this year, but this won't be one of the games that proves why. He already struggles on the road and Washington has a tough defense. I don't think Stanford will be able to keep up with Washington this year.

No. 8 Wisconsin at No. 4 Michigan

Jordan's Pick: Michigan Kaylee's Pick: Michigan

Wisconsin has played a much better schedule thus far, but both teams are undefeated. Their yards per game and allowed per game are very similar. Michigan relies on a balanced offense, but Wisconsin doesn't allow many yards on the ground. Michigan only allows about 260 yards in both passing and rushing. Michigan has a much better quarterback than Wisconsin has faced yet. Michigan scores lots of points and fast, while Wisconsin likes to slow it down and score. I think Michigan has enough fire power to get past the Badgers, but not by much.

No. 3 Louisville at No. 5 Clemson

Jordan's Pick: Clemson Kaylee's Pick: Clemson

Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson might be the Heisman favorite so far as he has scored 25 total touchdowns in four games. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was a Heisman contender last year and needs to have a big game to prove that he can be there this year also. Both teams have solid defenses, but this is by far the best defense Louisville will face. Clemson has played in this type of situation before, and I expect them to be able to escape Louisville's offensive attack.
