NCAA Football Tickets – Top Five Games of Week Five

alabama football

College football fans have plenty to be excited about in Week Five, as the schedules are getting tougher and the conference rivals are starting to battle. NCAA football tickets for any one of these games would be a great idea, so make sure you you’re either at one of these games, or you have them all TiVo’d.

1. Georgia – Alabama: Saturday night you get the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs facing off against the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide. Considering the fact that UCS lost to Oregon State this week, there’s a distinct possibility that both of these teams could move up if they win. For Georgia, a No. 1 spot isn’t out of the question. Alabama might sneak into the top five. The game’s going down at Georgia’s Sanford Stadium, so we hope you have your Georgia Bulldogs football tickets. Most of the experts say that Georgia has the clear edge because they’re at home, but last year Georgia only won the game 26-23. We expect a close one.

2. Ohio State-Minnesota: Ohio State (No. 14) might enter the game with the high ranking, but they’ve already got a bad loss to a good team (their 35-3 drubbing at the hands of USC). The Trojans lost this week already, so that might not bode well for the Buckeyes if they’re trying to get placed based on strength of schedule. The Golden Gophers are 4-0, but the best team they’ve played was Northern Illinois in Week One. Still, Minny’s offense has been humming right along, so don’t expect them to just lay down and die when they face a team with a ranking.

3. Illinois-Penn State: You’ve got two ranked Big Ten teams in No. 22 Illinois and No. 12 Penn State, so how can you deny this game is the best in the NCAA? Fair question. However, since the game is in Happy Valley and Penn State owns the all-time record between these two teams by an incredible 11-0 (that’s right- Jo Pa has never been beaten by an Illini) we’re thinking that the Nittany Lions will cruise to an easy win.

4. Arkansas – Texas: Big 12 powerhouse Texas will come out swinging when they face Arkansas, a regional and cross-conference rival at their home in Austin. Texas comes into the game with an undefeated record, and they face Arkansas after their game was postponed the week previous to last because of the hurricane. Texas has a No. 7 ranking, and with USC already losing, and Georgia facing a tough challenge, they could vie for a top five spot if they can beat Arkansas, a team that lost badly to Alabama last week 14-49.

5. Purdue-Notre Dame: Here’s a rivalry game that might be interesting. Perdue is the second most common Notre Dame opponent all-time behind Navy, so there’s lots of history here. Purdue beat up on the lowly Irish last season, but so far Coach Charlie Weis has proven that ND isn’t the same 3-9 team like in 2007. Don’t fall asleep on this one, Boilermakers.
