5 Oklahoma (1-0) vs Florida A&M (0-1)
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will have his team more prepared to start a game this weekend. The Sooners started off slow against UTEP and are lying for a better outing Saturday night against Florida A&M for their home opener. The Sooners only gave up a touchdown on special teams with their defense shutting down UTEP's offense. Expect Oklahoma's defense to do well again.
Oklahoma wins. 45-3.
Bye week: #9 West Virginia and Baylor

WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper hit two homers and the Washington Nationals went deep six times for the second consecutive game, sending Gio Gonzalez to his 18th victory in a 9-1 rout of the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.
Adam LaRoche kept up his tear at the plate with three hits for the Nationals, who have won four straight and own the best record in the majors at B4-52. They maintained a 7½-game lead over Atlanta in the NL East.
Nationals have best record in MLB
For the second game in a row, Washington tied a franchise record with six home runs. LaRoche has hit three of those 12 long balls, and his streak of reaching base in nine consecutive plate appearances was snapped by a seventh-inning strikeout.
