DFC X Week Five Games

All times Central, all rankings from AP Poll

COLLEGE GAMES
4. LSU Tigers (4-0) at 18. Georgia Bulldogs (3-1), 230p, CBS
What is fun about this game is LSU's #4 ranking... its not so much they are a Top Five team, its more that the pollsters couldn't figure out how to rank anyone beyond Florida, Texas and Alabama.

Washington Go You Huskies (2-2) at Notre Dame Fightin' Irish (3-1), 230p, NBC
I know, I know, another Irish game... but I'm intrigued not just by the Irish, but also about whether Washington & QB Jake Locker are actually decent, or just lucked out over USC. This looks to be the weekly Most Important Game of Weis' Career.

Auburn Tigers (4-0) at Tennessee Vols (2-2), 645p, ESPN
Maybe its quality of wins, maybe its how they are winning, but really--what more does Auburn have to do to get ranked?

8. Oklahoma Sooners (2-1) at 17. Miami Hurricanes (2-1), 7p (how is this game not listed on TV?)
Perhaps their loss to Va Tech was the best thing for the Miami Hurricanes. It seems becoming the "darling of the BCS" is a curse (see: Oklahoma State, then BYU, then Miami) because it dooms you to fail. If Miami had come in 3-0, the guys on ESPN Gameday might have had their heads explode.

NFL GAMES
Baltimore Ravens (3-0) at New England Patriots (2-1), 12p, CBS
I'll be honest--I was surprised the Pats handled the Falcons the way they did... so maybe this is the real test this week for Brady.

Tampa Bay Bucs (0-3) at Washington Redskins (1-2), 12p, Fox
Its one of the DFC's old favorites... ladies & gentlemen, the Crap O'the Week!

New York Football Jets (3-0) at New Orleans Saints (3-0), 305p, CBS
If you were told before the season that marquee game of the NFL's Week 4 that didn't include Brett Favre would include the Jets and Saints, you wouldn't believe it.

Green Bay Packers (2-1) at Minnesota Vikings (3-0), Monday night, 730p, ESPN
Admit it. Your curious. Whether you root for Favre, or you want to see the Packer fans throw batteries at Favre's head, your curious.

Tiebreak Game
NYJets at New Orleans Saints... lets see Sanchez & Brees go at it.
