Potato Salad and a Big 12 Showdown: College Football Week 5
Hellooo, sports fans, and happy October! May the cooler weather bring you argyle sweaters, autumnal leaves of various colors, hot alcoholic beverages, and good college football fortunes [disregard if Mississippi State fan]. We're one month into the season, so things are about to start getting serious... like, Bill Murray attempting to prevent the EPA from shutting down a basement-nuclear-reactor-ghost-containment system in lower Manhattan serious.

Lot of great matchups this Saturday— Alabama at Georgia, Ole Miss at Florida, Notre Dame at Clemson just to name a few. But you don't come here for a vague overview of several games paired with a recipe; you come here for a vague overview of one game paired with a recipe. Right? Right!
Marquee Matchup: #23 West Virginia vs. #15 Oklahoma, 10/3, 12:00PM ET on FOXS1A battle of Big 12 unbeatens in good ol' Norman, Oklahoma. The victor might have a solid claim on the Big 12 title come season-end, especially with TCU not looking as dominant as last season. I'll keep this one brief. Although the Mountaineers are undefeated, they've played no one, and they've done it all at home. I like Boomer Schooner Sooner rolling in Norman. Bob Stoops and Baker Mayfield get the win in convincing fashion. My Prediction: Oklahoma 42, West Virginia 20
