DFC VIII Week Five Games

College Games
all games are listed central time, and ranks from the AP Poll

FRIDAY NIGHT GAME
#5 West Virginia Mountaineers at #18 South Florida Bulls, 7pm, ESPN2
The best team in Virginia takes on the 2nd best team in Florida. Seriously, these Bulls are pretty darn good. They were good enough to topple highly ranked WVU last season, and USF knows what its like to beat ranked teams (Auburn?)

SATURDAY GAMES
#6 California Bears (4-0) at #11 Oregon Ducks (4-0), 230pm, ABC
I was feeling really good about this game until Oregon's defense gave up 30 plus points to a freakin' Tree (that would be Stanford). But, the game is in Autschwitz Stadium, and the Ducks do have the St. Louis Rams mentality from their Super Bowl year--give up as many as you want, just score more than they do.

Michigan State Spartans (4-0) at #9 Wisconsin Badgers (4-0), 230p, ABC
Is there any reason Michigan State is unranked? I thought after their beating of Notre Dame (yes, it was Notre Dame) they'd surely get in... because honestly, Wisconsin hasn't been all the impressive in their four game run. (After looking again, they are ranked #23rd in the Coaches Poll)

Auburn Tigers (2-2) at #4 Florida Gators (4-0), 7pm, ESPN
So, I guess this is a gimme, huh? And it was last year too, when Auburn beat Florida, and the LSU was a gimme for LSU when... Auburn beat LSU. That's the thing about Auburn--they are always capable of beating the top teams. Its the crappy teams they struggle with.

NFL GAMES
NYJets (1-2) at Buffalo Bills (0-3), 12pm CBS
Ey yi yi... could it get any worse than a crappy Jets team against a crappier Bills team?

Oakland Raiders (1-2) at Miami Dolphins (0-3), 12pm, CBS
Why yes, yes it can... in the form of a really crappy Raiders team (who pulled a Denver time out to win against Cleveland) against a really, really crappy Fins team. Pick 'em.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) at Carolina Panthers (2-1), 305pm, Fox
That's right, its for supremecy in the NFC South! David Mark Osborne's favorite boys, the Bucs, are back for DFC VIII to wreak havoc on all of our seasons! Seriously, though, is John Gruden even any good? He won the Super Bowl with Dungy's players... and they've sucked since then. Just wondering.

Seattle Seahawks (2-1) at San Francisco 49ers (2-1), 305pm, Fox
And this one is for supremecy in the NFC West! Shaun and the Hawks against Alex Smith and the Niners! (this is how I fill up this space when I really have no clue)

TieBreak Game
Oregon vs California, total number of points scored. (used your drop yet?)
