Week 5's slate of games is a little less exiting, as 7 of the 9 dynasty teams play games against the computer. (Have you ever wondered why it's called "playing against the computer?")The game of the week is a showdown in Williams-Bryce Stadium in Columbia, SC between the #12 South Carolina Gamecocks and the #16 Virginia Tech Hokies. ESPN College Gameday will be on hand for the telecast and the network is dubbing the game, "The Battle of the Weird Looking Birds."
vs.
It's a big week for both teams, as the Gamecocks look to move to 5-0 and the Hokies look to continue their climb in the polls and win their 4th straight, after starting the season with a loss against Florida. South Carolina feels slighted that they have yet to crack the Top 10, so it will be interesting to see if Coach Spurrier has his troops fired up over the "no respect" card. Will the 'Cocks be able to slow down the dual-threat attack of Hokies QB Tyrod Taylor? Will Frank Beamer have any special teams or defensive tricks up his sleeve to thwart Carolina's WR Heisman contender, Kenny McKinley.
Other important games include #15 Alabama @ Georgia and #18 Tennessee @ Auburn. Both Georgia (1-3) and Auburn (1-3) need upset victories in these SEC slugfests to turn their seasons around. In SEC play, nothing is certain, but look for both teams to take advantage of their home crowds to earn victories this week.
"We're #2!":The Florida Gators jumped the Oklahoma Sooners in this week's coaches' poll and have moved into the all-important #2 spot. The Ohio State Buckeyes are the unanimous selection as the #1 team in the land, and if the season ended today, would be primed and ready for their 3rd straight year of being abused by an SEC team in the National Championship Game. Florida hosts Ole Miss this week, but a brutal strecth of games lies ahead for the Gators in their quest for another national championship.

What is Corso's prediction? And the rest of the gameday crew.
What am I? A mind reader? Ha ha! You know they don't reveal their picks until the end of the show!
Seriously though, on the dynasty "game preview" screen, it shows who both Corso and Herbie pick to win every game in that given week. Doesn't mean much, but it's pretty neat.
