Pick: Kentucky

(1) Alabama (8-0; 5-0) at (13) LSU (5-2; 3-1)- 8:00, CBS: This is definitely the biggest and best game of the weekend. ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for it.

Pick: New Mexico

Pick: Wyoming

(5) Washington (8-0; 5-0) at California (4-4; 2-3)- 10:30, ESPN: This should be a very fun Pac-12 after dark game. I do believe the Bears can keep it close, but Jake Browning is a awesome and he'll be the difference in this one.
