College Football 2007 Week 5 Predictions

Week Five? We're at week five already? Seems like just yesterday we were wondering what the season would look like, convinced that our defensive line was going to be as great as the one before it. It hasn't taken long for everything to change, has it?

• Big 12 Games

• Iowa State @ Nebraska

  Line: Nebraska by 22

  Husker Mike: ISU 35, NU 31
  I don't like what I've heard from the Blackshirts this week.  They don't sound p*ssed, they sound defeated. If they come out pissed, it'll be NU 49, ISU 7.  But I'm really doubting it. I've been wrong on the Huskers most of the season anyway...Call it reverse psychology...

  corn blight: NU 38, ISU 21
  I have hope, faith. maybe I'm just stupid. Maybe I'm thinking that one of these guys is going to start making plays and drive the others onward and upward. Happens in every great war movie, doesn't it? Why not football?

• Baylor @ Texas A&M
  Line: Aggies by 17

  Husker Mike: A&M 35, Baylor 14
