On Saturday, Oct. 4, NCAA football is back in action for another week. As Week 5 prepares to take the field, it is sure to be just as chaotic and drama filled as the weeks prior. 

From top matchups in D2 football, a whole lot of CAA action and competitive games in D3, this weekend of football is sure to be a sight you don't want to miss. 

In D1, Villanova takes on New Hampshire and Stony Brook takes on UAlbany. The Battle of the Bay also takes place on Oct. 4 as Norfolk State takes on Hampton. CAA action is in full swing and with FloCollege as the home of the conference, you won't want to miss these games! 

In D2, rivalry action gets heated as UT Permian Basin takes on Angelo State in the LSC. Two undefeated teams square off in G-Mac action as Findlay takes on Walsh. Ferris State is also back in action after a Week 4 bye, squaring off against Roosevelt

Last but certainly not least, D3 sees some action in the picks this week! OAC action continues as Marietta takes on Ohio Northern. Also in the OAC, Otterbein takes on top-ranked Mount Union

Who will be the top-dog after the dust settles on the field? Time will be the judge of that, but for now a new round of picks can provide insight on who the FloCollege team wants to win big in Week 5.
