ITB's Slate of Eight: Week Five

This week we've got Andy Hutchins on the podcast, someone who I've been looking forward to working with for awhile and have grabbed the opportunity. Andy is the one of the managing editors of Alligator Army the great Florida website, he also patrols the mean streets of the blogosphere that is SBNation and is the new boss behind the BlogPoll. There were some technical difficulties that exhausted my audacity knowledge but the podcast is here and it is listenable which is more than it was after the initial recording.

Now on to the slate:

SMU-TCU
South Florida-Pitt
Mississippi State-Georgia
Auburn-South Carolina
Clemson-Virginia Tech
Texas A&M-Arkansas
Nebraska-Wisconsin
Alabama-Florida

Good games all over the nation this week and a lot to get into as the SEC, ACC and Big Ten all feature some highly ranked teams getting after it this weekend. We put TCU's secondary on upset alert against June Jones attack while South Florida has a shot to really prove they're legitimate contenders for the Big East title. In Athens and Columbia we have two SEC match ups that should be fun contests despite three of the four participants no longer living in the land of the ranked.

Clemson and Virginia Tech, at least on the surface right now, is the type of game the ACC has been hoping to see for awhile. Two of the football-centric schools in the Top 15 getting after it this weeked, we'll learn how for real the Hokies are and if Clemson can keep their momentum going. Hogs take on the Aggies in a new SEC West match up that we'll be seeing for the years to come.

ALL RUSSELL WILSON EVERYTHING plays this week in the first game where the Badgers will be facing their equals. Wisconsin has a lot of questions on the defensive side of the ball and Taylor Martinez can definitely cause problems if he gets loose on the edge. All in all the nation's eyes will definitely be upon Madison.

Finally we hit the Bama-Florida game. Much like Clemson-VT has climbed up the charts thanks to their early season performance this match up in Gainesville has become even more intriguing as Florida has proven themselves quite capable. The Tide poured it on against the Hogs but Muschamp's Florida team is equipped to stop the run. This game will be an absolute slugfest, a great one to watch.
