Pick: Arkansas State
(25) Memphis (5-1; 2-1) at Houston (4-2; 2-1)- 8:00, ESPN: This should be a fun and interesting game. The Cougars are actually favored in the game, but I like the Tigers in a close one.

Pick: Wisconsin
(10) Oklahoma State (5-1; 2-1) at Texas (3-3; 2-1)- 12:00, ABC: The Longhorns will hang around in this one, but the Cowboys will find a way.

Pick: Purdue
Louisville (4-3; 1-3) at Florida State (2-3; 2-2)- 12:00, ESPN: This game would have been more enticing if it would be played in week one and now both of these teams are unranked. I like the Seminoles here at home.
Pick: Florida State
Idaho (2-4; 1-2) at Missouri (1-5; 0-4)- 12:00, SECN
Pick: Missouri
Iowa State (4-2; 2-1) at Texas Tech (4-2; 1-2)- 12:00, FS1: This will be offense galore and the winner of this game will likely go to a bowl game. Give me the Red Raiders at home.
Pick: Texas Tech
Temple (3-4; 1-3) at Army (5-2)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: Army
Pittsburgh (2-5; 0-3) at Duke (4-3; 1-3)- 12:20, ESPN3
Pick: Duke
Boston College (3-4; 1-3) at Virginia (5-1; 2-0)- 12:30, ACCN: As I mentioned last week, the Cavs are the biggest surprise in the ACC and perhaps of College Football so far and they'll at least become bowl eligible with a win here.
Pick: Virginia
Troy (4-2; 1-1) at Georgia State (3-2; 2-0)- 2:00, ESPN3
Pick: Troy
Kent State (2-5; 1-2) at Ohio (5-2; 2-1)- 2:00, ESPN3

Tennessee (3-3; 0-3) at (1) Alabama (7-0; 4-0)- 3:30, CBS: Butch Jones's seat will only get warmer. Roll Tide.
Pick: Alabama
Syracuse (4-3; 2-1) at (8) Miami (5-0; 3-0) 3:30, ESPN: I like the Canes big here because the Orange are bound for a big letdown after the big upset win over the Clemson Tigers.
Pick: Miami
North Carolina (1-6; 0-4) at (14) Virginia Tech (5-1; 1-1)- 3:30, ESPN2
Pick: Virginia Tech
Indiana (3-3; 0-3) at (18) Michigan State (5-1; 3-0)- 3:30, ABC
Pick: Michigan State
(20) UCF (5-0; 3-0) at Navy (5-1; 3-1)- 3:30, CBSSN: This should be a fun and high scoring affair and you know what? I like the Midshipmen here to pull off a big upset over a ranked conference opponent yet again.
Pick: Navy
Arizona State (3-3; 2-1) at Utah (4-2; 1-2)- 3:30, FS1
Pick: Utah

Pick: Minnesota
(9) Oklahoma (5-1; 2-1) at Kansas State (3-3; 1-2)- 4:00, FOX: The Wildcats will linger in this game, but the Sooners and Baker Mayfield will find a way to pull it out late.
Pick: Oklahoma
Oregon (4-3; 1-3) at UCLA (3-3; 1-2)- 4:00, Pac-12N: This game would have been more compelling a month ago when both teams were unbeaten and ranked. I like Josh Rosen and the Bruins here at home.
Pick: UCLA
Kentucky (5-1; 2-1) at Mississippi State (4-2; 1-2) 4:00, SECN: This is a sneaky good game and I like Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs at home in a close one.
Pick: Mississippi State
SMU (4-2; 1-1) at Cincinnati (2-5; 0-3)- 4:00, ESPNU
Pick: SMU
Louisiana-Monroe (3-3; 3-1) at South Alabama (2-4; 1-1)- 5:00, ESPN3

Pick: BYU
(24) LSU (5-2; 2-1) at Ole Miss (3-3; 1-2)- 7:15, ESPN: The Rebels will hang around, but the Tigers should pull it out.
Pick: LSU
(19) Michigan (5-1; 3-0) at (2) Penn State (6-0; 3-0)- 7:30, ABC: This is certainly one of the best and biggest game of the weekend. The Wolverines will hang around despite quarterback questions, but Saquon Barkley will lead the Nittany Lions here.
Pick: Penn State
(11) USC (6-1; 4-1) at (13) Notre Dame (5-1)- 7:30, NBC: This is another huge game with playoff implications for sure. This has classic written all over it and I like Brandon Wimbush, who will be back from injury this week to lead the Irish to their biggest win of the season.
Pick: Notre Dame
(21) Auburn (5-2; 3-1) at Arkansas (2-4; 0-3)- 7:30, SECN
