2015 College Football Week 9 Picks

Thursday, October 29th
North Carolina (6-1; 3-0) at (23) Pittsburgh (6-1; 4-0)- 7:00, ESPN: This is a huge game in the ACC Coastal that could very well determine the division. I like Pitt to win this one at home thanks to clutch plays in the fourth quarter, which they've been doing all season long.
Pick: Pittsburgh

West Virginia (3-3; 0-3) at (5) TCU (7-0; 4-0)- 7:30, FS1: The Horned Frogs defense isn't good, so expect the Mountaineers to hang in this one.

Pick: Western Michigan

Buffalo (3-4; 1-2) at Miami (OH) (1-7; 0-4)- 7:30, ESPN3

(19) Ole Miss (6-2; 3-1) at Auburn (4-3; 1-3)- 12:00, ESPN: This was a tough call but I like the Tigers at home. This is likely one that I may end up regretting, though.

Pick: Michigan

Texas (3-4; 2-2) at Iowa State (2-5; 1-3)- 7:00, FS1: The Longhorns may have just turned their season around after the debacle against the Horned Frogs from a few weeks back. I like them here to keep it going.

Tennessee (3-4; 1-3) at Kentucky (4-3; 2-3)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky

(9) Notre Dame (6-1) at (21) Temple (7-0; 4-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a terrific game that has very big implications of the College Football Playoff.
