Are the Gators Bama Bait? Week 5 Predictions

Bearing in mind this column's being written quite quickly for numerous reasons (including getting to work on time), we're just throwing some predictions out there.

1. Alabama will beat Florida. By 14. Mark Ingram will be too much for Florida's "D" to handle.
2. Iowa will handle Penn State (sadly)—although it'll be closer than many of you think. Especially with two defensive-minded coaches.
3. Oklahoma will beat Texas—by 10. Texas really aren't that good. The turnover total could be higher than the total points in this one.
4. Oregon will beat Stanford by 14. The Ducks—in Autzen—will be too much for Andrew Luck to handle.
5. Ohio State will crush Illinois. Sure, there will be Big Ten banana skins for the Buckeyes. This isn't one of them.
6. Michigan State will beat Wisconsin. Big upset in Spartan Stadium. Why not? Mark D'Antonio's put fire in the team's belly, and Cousins is throwing touchdowns like it's going out of fashion. Plus, there's always a trick play up his sleeve.
7. LSU will beat Tennessee, but not by much. That's because the Tigers really aren't that good (at 4-0), but the Vols are worse.
8. Virginia Tech will win at NC State. Tyrod Taylor really hasn't shown up this season, and today might be his time to show. This might just be the year that a team beaten by mighty James Madison wins the ACC.
9. Michigan will slap Indiana. No repeats of Michigan's fortunate win last year against the Hoosiers. This one may well be out of shape by halftime.
10. 10. Notre Dame will beat Boston College in a game, apart from big Catholic schools, that few will care about or remember.
11. Georgia will beat Colorado on AJ Green's return. If they don't, Mark Richt could be wandering around Athens with a shout behind him: "Dead. Man. Walking"
12. Clemson will beat Miami in a squeaker. Miami hasn't been great on the road, and we all know that Clemson's one of the most intimidating places to play in college football. The crowd will be a sea of noisy orange, and Jamie Harper will be too difficult to stop for the Hurricanes. Still, Jacory Harris has got a cannon, and Miami has athletes. This is going to the wire, people.
