[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Week 5 recap:
It was a fairly uneventful week for upsets, as the Top 25 only saw the losses of #4 Wisconsin, #14 Illinois, and #20 and #21 Auburn and Alabama, the latter two dropped out of the Top 25 completely. New to the Top 25 this week are Boise State and Wake Forest. Watchful eyes will notice that Tennessee is on the edge of returning to the Top 25 at the #30 spot while Pittsburgh is close behind them at the #31 spot.
The Heisman Watch saw its biggest shakeup of the year so far, with only two of the previous candidates still remaining in the top five. Knowshon Moreno remains in the #1 spot while Noel Devine moved up to the #3 spot after a good game against Marshall. The new guys are in the #2 spot, with Keiland Williams of LSU, and #4 spot, Preston Parker of Florida State. Returning to the Heisman Watch is Chris Wells of The Ohio State University, bringing up the rear at the #5 spot.
The Coke Zero National Players of the Week are Matt Grothe, South Florida's QB, and Carlos Dunlap, Florida's LE. The ACC Players of the Week see Florida State's Christian Ponder take the offensive award while Miami's Randy Phillips was king of the defense this week. Matt Grothe was the default winner of the Offensive Player of the Week for the Big East while Pitt's Jovani Chappel took home defensive honors. Florida swept the SEC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week awards with Carlos Dunlap taking the defensive award by default while Tim Tebow put on a good enough show to earn the other award.
As far as this week's schedules are concerned, this week is once again full of conference games. The Big East sees the clash of its two up-and-coming teams, Pitt and South Florida, early on this season. The ACC sees a similarly big match-up with rivals Miami and Florida State getting it on to see who's got a good shot at the ACC title this year. Two big ranked match-ups will take place in the Big Ten, with Penn State traveling to Purdue and Ohio State looking to knock Wisconsin further down the rankings. Here's this week's set of match-ups:
Pittsburgh (bennydc) at South Florida (moonknight25)
Penn State (Dandeschain) at Purdue
Northern Illinois at Tennessee (pitfallharry219)
