Central Michigan (4-4; 2-2) at Western Michigan (5-3; 3-1)- 8:00, ESPN2
Pick: Western Michigan
Thursday, November 2nd
Northern Illinois (6-2; 4-0) at Toledo (7-1; 4-0)- 6:00, ESPNU

Idaho (2-5; 1-2) at Troy (6-2; 3-1)- 9:15, ESPNU
Pick: Troy
Friday, November 3rd
Marshall (6-2; 3-1) at FAU (5-3; 4-0)- 6:00, CBSSN: This is a sneaky good game in the C-USA. Lane Kiffin has done outstanding in his first season at Florida Atlantic and they'll keep their unbeaten in-conference record going after another big win here.
Pick: FAU
(23) Memphis (7-1; 4-1) at Tulsa (2-7; 1-4)- 8:00, ESPN2
Pick: Memphis
UCLA (4-4; 2-3) at Utah (4-4; 1-4)- 9:30, FS1
Pick: Utah
Saturday, November 4th
(9) Wisconsin (8-0; 5-0) at Indiana (3-5; 0-5)- 12:00, ABC
Pick: Wisconsin
(7) Penn State (7-1; 4-1) at Michigan State (6-2; 4-1)- 12:00, FOX: This is a nice game in the Big-10. I like the Lions to bounce back from that tough loss in Columbus last week to get a nice road win here in a close game.
Pick: Penn State
(14) Auburn (6-2; 4-1) at Texas A&M (5-3; 3-2)- 12:00, ESPN: If the Aggies get blown out here again, don't be stunned if you hear rumors about Kevin Sumlin losing his job.
Pick: Auburn
Massachusetts (2-6) at (16) Mississippi State (6-2; 3-2)- 12:00, SECN
Pick: Mississippi State
Florida (3-4; 3-3) at Missouri (3-5; 0-4)- 12:00, ESPN2: With a new interim coach trying to get the interim tag removed, the Gators will play hard and come away with a win against a bad Mizzou team.
Pick: Missouri
Kansas State (4-4; 2-3) at Texas Tech (4-4; 1-4)- 12:00, FS1: The winner of this game is almost certain to be heading to a bowl game and I believe the Red Raiders get it done at home.
Pick: Texas Tech
WKU (5-3; 3-2) at Vanderbilt (3-5; 0-3)- 12:00, ESPNU: Vandy finally snaps their losing skid here against an overrated Hilltopers squad.
Pick: Vanderbilt
Baylor (0-8; 0-5) at Kansas (1-7; 0-5)- 12:00, FSN: The Bears finally get their first win under Matt Rhule here.
Pick: Baylor
Illinois (2-6; 0-5) at Purdue (3-5; 1-4)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Purdue
East Carolina (2-6; 1-3) at Houston (4-3; 2-2)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: Houston
Syracuse (4-4; 2-2) at Florida State (2-5; 2-4)- 12:20, ACCN: The Seminoles are so depleted and I'm going to take the Orange to pull off another upset.
Pick: Syracuse
Georgia Tech (4-3; 3-2) at Virginia (5-3; 2-2)- 3:00, ACCN
Pick: Georgia Tech
Appalachian State (5-3; 4-0) at Louisiana-Monroe (3-4; 3-2)- 3:00, ESPN3
Pick: Appalachian State
Georgia State (4-3; 3-1) at Georgia Southern (0-7; 0-3)- 3:00, ESPN3
Pick: Georgia Southern
Rice (1-7; 1-3) at UAB (5-3; 3-2)- 3:00
Pick: UAB
New Mexico State (3-4; 1-2) at Texas State (2-6; 1-3)- 3:00, ESPN3
Pick: New Mexico State
South Carolina (6-2; 4-2) at (1) Georgia (8-0; 5-0)- 3:30, CBS: The Bulldogs will be motivated to prove their number one ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings and they will come out with a bang here against a decent Gamecocks team.
Pick: Georgia
(6) Ohio State (7-1; 4-1) at Iowa (5-3; 2-3)- 3:30, ESPN: This game will be a lot closer than the experts think due to the fact that I see a bit of a letdown for the Buckeyes after their big win over Penn State and the fact the Hawkeyes typically keep these games against better opponents close.
Pick: Ohio State
Wake Forest (5-3; 2-3) at (3) Notre Dame (7-1) 3:30, NBC
Pick: Notre Dame
(4) Clemson (7-1; 5-1) at (20) NC State (6-2; 4-0)- 3:30, ABC: The winner of this game is in all likelihood heading to the ACC title game and the Tigers have Kelly Bryant back from injury and they typically play great in these spots so give me the Tigers in a close one.
Pick: Clemson
(15) Iowa State (6-2; 5-1) at West Virginia (5-3; 3-2)- 3:30, ESPN2: This has all the makings of a letdown for the Cyclones after their big win over TCU, so give me the Mountaineers to bounce back here at home after their tough loss against Oklahoma State.
Pick: West Virginia
(21) Stanford (6-2; 5-1) at (25) Washington State (7-2; 4-2)- 3:30, FOX: This should be a fun game and with Bryce Love back, I like the Cardinal here on the road in a game that can help decide the Pac-12 North. (If Love doesn't play, this pick will switch)
Pick: Stanford
South Florida (7-1; 4-1) at Connecticut (3-5; 2-3)- 3:30, ESPNU
Pick: South Florida
Maryland (4-4; 2-3) at Rutgers (3-5; 2-3)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Rutgers
Charlotte (1-7; 1-3) at Old Dominion (2-6; 0-4)- 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Old Dominion
North Texas (5-3; 4-1) at Louisiana Tech (4-4; 2-2)- 3:30
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Northwestern (5-3; 3-2) at Nebraska (4-4; 3-2)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Northwestern
Army (6-2) at Air Force (4-4; 3-2)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Air Force
(5) Oklahoma (7-1; 4-1) at Oklahoma State (7-1; 4-1)- 4:00, FS1: Bedlam! This should be a fun game. ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for this one and this could very well be the first of two Bedlam matchups this season (depending on what happens with TCU). Give me the Cowboys in a close one at home.
Pick: Oklahoma State
Ole Miss (3-5; 1-4) at Kentucky (6-2; 3-2)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
Coastal Carolina (1-7; 0-5) at Arkansas (3-5; 1-4)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Arkansas
Cincinnati (2-6; 0-4) at Tulane (3-5; 1-3)- 4:00, ESPN3
Pick: Tulane
Louisiana (3-4; 2-2) at South Alabama (3-5; 2-2)- 4:00, ESPN3
Pick: South Alabama
Oregon State (1-7; 0-5) at California (4-5; 1-5)- 5:00, Pac-12N
Pick: California
Utah State (4-5; 2-3) at New Mexico (2-5; 1-4)- 5:30
Pick: New Mexico
Hawaii (3-5; 1-4) at UNLV (3-5; 2-3)- 6:00
Pick: UNLV
Nevada (1-7; 1-3) at Boise State (6-2; 4-0)- 7:00, ESPNU
Pick: Boise State
Colorado State (6-3; 4-1) at Wyoming (5-3; 3-1)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: Wyoming
UTSA (5-2; 2-2) at FIU (5-2; 3-1)- 7:00
Pick: FIU
Texas (4-4; 3-2) at (8) TCU (7-1; 4-1)- 7:15, ESPN: The Horned Frogs have blown out the Longhorns a ton over the last few seasons and I expect the Frogs to win this one too, but except not a blowout.
Pick: TCU
(18) UCF (7-0; 4-0) at SMU (6-2; 3-1)- 7:15, ESPN2: This is going to be a great high scoring affair and you know what? I like the upset here with the Stangs.
Pick: SMU
Southern Miss (5-3; 3-2) at Tennessee (3-5; 0-5)- 7:30, SECN: Speaking of upsets, I'm taking the Golden Eagles here because the Vols seem to have quit and if they lose this game, Butch Jones may be out of a job.
Pick: Tennessee
UTEP (0-8; 0-4) at Middle Tennessee (3-5; 1-3)- 7:30
Pick: Middle Tennessee
Minnesota (4-4; 1-4) at Michigan (6-2; 3-2)- 7:30, BTN
Pick: Michigan
(19) LSU (6-2; 3-1) at (2) Alabama (8-0; 5-0)- 8:00, CBS: This game is always a fun game, but the Tide are probably not thrilled about their number two ranking, so I like the Tide to roll past the Tigers although I wouldn't rule out a close game.
Pick: Alabama
(13) Virginia Tech (7-1; 3-1) at (10) Miami (7-0; 5-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a fun and entertaining game. The Canes are going to be motivated because they're home and higher ranked, but also the underdog and because of that, I love them in this spot.
Pick: Miami
Colorado (5-4; 2-4) at Arizona State (4-4; 3-2) 9:00, Pac-12N
Pick: Arizona State
Oregon (5-4; 2-4) at (12) Washington (7-1; 4-1)- 10:00, FS1
Pick: Washington
San Diego State (7-2; 3-2) at San Jose State (1-8; 0-4)- 10:30, ESPNU
Pick: San Diego State
(22) Arizona (6-2; 4-1) at (17) USC (7-2; 5-1)- 10:45, ESPN: This should be a very fun game in Los Angeles. The Wildcats have had a great season thus far, but the Trojans are just flat out better and will pull this game out late.
Pick: USC
BYU (2-7) at Fresno State (5-3; 4-1)- 10:45, ESPN2
Pick: Fresno State
