(17) Tennessee vs Virginia Tech; 8:00, ABC: This should be a fun game down at Bristol Motor Speedway. ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for it as well. The Vols will get the win here thanks to the fact they have a bit of a home field advantage.

Texas Tech (1-0; 0-0) at Arizona State (1-0; 0-0)- 10:00, FS1: This is actually a sneaky good game. I like the Aztecs to get it done since they are home although, the Red Raiders should keep it close.
