Fantasy College Football: Preview - Week 5

For the Big XII's schedule of games for Week 5, click here. I'm sure many franchises will feel the burn this week, as only half of the conference sees action. The following teams are idle for Week 5: Kansas Jayhawks, Missouri Tigers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oklahoma St Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. The action gets started early this week, as Colorado travels to Morgantown for their return game with West Virginia. Last year, the Buffaloes upset the #21 Mountaineers 17-14 in overtime. After losing QB Robert Griffin (torn ACL) for the season, Baylor might be playing in their last winnable game (Kent St) this year. Texas Tech (New Mexico) and Texas A&M (@Arkansas) have contests against non-conference foes. The only conference game this week (Kansas St, Iowa St) continues the trend of mediocre football played inside Arrowhead Stadium. The #12 Oklahoma Sooners will take on the #20 Miami Hurricanes in this week's marquee game. This could mark the return of Sooner signal-caller Sam Bradford, who has been sidelined since Week 1. The Hurricanes hope another "statement win" brings back their swagger, after getting blown out last week 7-31 in Blacksburg. Here are the starting lineups for Week 5:
