College Football Week 5 Schedule 2012: The top games ahead

As the trio of marquee college football primetime matchups begin to wrap up, it's high time to peer ahead at the Week 5 schedule.

NCAA scores | Week 4 in pictures | Oregon State upsets UCLA | Michigan State survives

Next week doesn't figure to feature as much action between Top 25 teams, but still pairs plenty of teams with bragging rights on the line. An entertaining mix of nonconference games and rivalry continuations should keep college football fans glued to the couch.

(All times ET. AP Rankings as of Week 4)

NOON

Baylor Bears at No. 8 West Virginia Mountaineers

How about a nice sip of offense to start the day? Both teams have remained perfect thus far but have been far from perfect on defense. Fortunately, Baylor (51.3 ppg) and West Virginia (47.3 ppg) each possess the quarterbacks and schemes to light up the scoreboard.

3:30 p.m.

No. 16 Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 21 Michigan State Spartans

The undefeated Buckeyes have failed to impress in consecutive home wins against California and UAB, but have a chance to make an impression on voters in this trip to East Lansing. Michigan State is still licking its wounds from a beating at the hands of Notre Dame but begins Big Ten play with a clean slate.

7 p.m.

No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs at SMU Mustangs

Two colleges separated by 40 miles will battle for Dallas-Forth Worth bragging rights. Texas Christian recently stepped into the Big 12 and Southern Methodist will also join a BCS conference with its upcoming move to the Big East. Both schools are coming off bowl-winning seasons from 2011.

8 p.m.

Wisconsin Badgers at No. 25 Nebraska Cornhuskers

Each squad opened the year entrenched in the preseason Top 25 but fell out after major upsets, Nebraska losing to now-ranked UCLA (which fell to Oregon State on Saturday) and Wisconsin to that same Oregon State team. It's a rarity to see either of these schools drop two contests this early in the season, but one must.

10 p.m.

Oregon State at No. 22 Arizona

Oregon State will attempt to reel off its third upset in as many games after toppling No. 13 Wisconsin and No. 19 UCLA. If the Beavers are ranked by this point?and they very well might?it will also present the Wildcats' third Top 25 opponent of the year.
