Pick: Western Michigan

Toledo (8-1; 5-0) at Ohio (7-2; 4-1)- 7:00, ESPN2: Here we have a possible MAC Championship preview. This should be a fun and entertaining game with a ton of points scored and I like the Bobcats at home.
Pick: Ohio

Eastern Michigan (3-6; 1-4) at Central Michigan (5-4; 3-2)- 8:00, ESPNU
Pick: Central Michigan

Thursday, November 9th
Ball State (2-7; 0-5) at Northern Illinois (6-3; 4-1)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: Northern Illinois

Georgia Southern (0-8; 0-4) at Appalachian State (5-4; 4-1)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: Appalachian State

North Carolina (1-8; 0-6) at Pittsburgh (4-5; 2-3)- 8:00, ESPN
Pick: Pittsburgh

Friday, November 10th
Temple (4-5; 2-3) at Cincinnati (3-6; 1-4)- 7:00, ESPN2
Pick: Cincinnati

Washington (8-1; 5-1) at Stanford (6-3; 5-2)- 10:30, FS1: This is a big game here in the Pac-12 and the winner of this game could very well head to the Pac-12 Championship Game. With Bryce Love back and healthy, give me the Cardinal at home.
Pick: Stanford

BYU (2-8) at UNLV (4-5; 3-3)- 10:30, ESPN2
Pick: UNLV

Saturday, November 11th
(12) Michigan State (7-2; 5-1) at (13) Ohio State (7-2; 5-1)- 12:00, FOX: This game would have been much more enticing had the Buckeyes had beaten Iowa last weekend. But nope, although it will still be a good game. Give me the Buckeyes in a close one at home.
Pick: Ohio State

Rutgers (4-5; 3-3) at (14) Penn State (7-2; 4-2)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Penn State

(15) Oklahoma State (7-2; 4-2) at (21) Iowa State (6-3; 4-2)- 12:00, ABC/ESPN2: This should be a fun Big-12 game. I just feel the Cowboys are flat out the better team here and they should pull away late in this game against an improved Cyclones team.
Pick: Oklahoma State

Connecticut (3-6; 2-4) at (18) UCF (8-0; 5-0)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: UCF

(23) North Carolina State (6-3; 4-1) at Boston College (5-4; 3-3)- 12:00, ABC/ESPN2: This is another big game. The Eagles with a win here would clinch a bowl berth, but I'm gonna say that the Wolf Pack get a nice road win against an improved Eagles team.
Pick: North Carolina State

Arkansas (4-5; 1-4) at (24) LSU (6-3; 3-2)- 12:00, ESPN
Pick: LSU

Duke (4-5; 1-5) at Army (7-2)- 12:00, CBSSN

Texas Tech (4-5; 1-5) vs Baylor (1-8; 1-5)- (Arlington); 12:00, FSN
Pick: Texas Tech

Louisiana (4-4; 3-2) at Ole Miss (4-5; 2-4)- 12:00, SECN
Pick: Ole Miss

Florida (3-5; 3-4) at South Carolina (6-3; 4-3)- 12:00, CBS
Pick: South Carolina

Indiana (3-6; 0-6) at Illinois (2-7; 0-6)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Indiana

Nebraska (4-5; 3-3) at Minnesota (4-5; 1-5)- 12:00, FS1
Pick: Minnesota

Virginia Tech (7-2; 3-2) at Georgia Tech (4-4; 3-3)- 12:20, ACCN
Pick: Virginia Tech

Middle Tennessee (4-5; 2-3) at Charlotte (1-8; 1-5)- 2:00
Pick: Middle Tennessee

Wake Forest (5-4; 2-3) at Syracuse (4-5; 2-3)- 3:00, ACCN
Pick: Syracuse

(1) Georgia (9-0; 6-0) at (10) Auburn (7-2; 5-1)- 3:30, CBS: This is going to be a great game. The Bulldogs are a deserving favorite, but I like the Tigers here at home to hand the 'Dogs their first loss.
Pick: Auburn

Florida State (3-5; 3-4) at (4) Clemson (8-1; 6-1)- 3:30, ESPN: It's sad that this game wasn't played in August when everyone thought both of these teams were perceived as National Championship contenders.
Pick: Clemson

(20) Iowa (6-3; 3-3) at (8) Wisconsin (9-0; 6-0)- 3:30, ABC: The Huskies resume will look better if they get a win here and I believe they will as the Hawkeyes will have a letdown after a big win.
Pick: Wisconsin

Virginia (6-3; 3-2) at Louisville (5-4; 2-4) 3:30, ESPNU
Pick: Louisville

Michigan (7-2; 4-2) at Maryland (4-5; 3-3)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Michigan

West Virginia (6-3; 4-2) at Kansas State (5-4; 3-3)- 3:30, ESPN2: If Jesse Ertz was playing and was 100%, I'd pick the Wildcats here. But, due to the fact Ertz isn't healthy, give me the Mountaineers in a close one.
Pick: West Virginia

SMU (5-3; 3-3) at Navy (6-2; 3-1)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Navy

FAU (6-3; 5-0) at Louisiana Tech (4-5; 2-3)- 3:30
Pick: FAU

Southern Miss (5-4; 3-2) at Rice (1-8; 1-4)- 3:30
Pick: Southern Miss

(11) USC (8-2; 6-1) at Colorado (5-5; 2-5)- 4:00, FOX: Don't be surprised if this one is closer than the experts think.
Pick: USC

Maine (4-3; 3-3) vs Massachusetts (2-7)- (Boston); 4:00
Pick: Massachusetts

Georgia State (5-3; 4-1) at Texas State (2-7; 1-4)- 4:00, ESPN3
Pick: Georgia State

San Jose State (1-9; 0-5) at Nevada (1-8; 1-4)- 4:00, ESPN3
Pick: Nevada

Kentucky (6-3; 3-3) at Vanderbilt (4-5; 0-5)- 4:00, SECN
Pick: Vanderbilt

Troy (7-2; 4-1) at Coastal Carolina (1-8; 0-5)-  4:30, ESPN3
Pick: Troy

Arkansas State (5-2; 4-0) at South Alabama (3-6; 2-3)- 5:00, ESPN3
Pick: Arkansas State

UTEP (0-9; 0-5) at North Texas (6-3; 5-1)- 5:00, ESPN3
Pick: North Texas

(19) Washington State (8-2; 5-2) at Utah (5-4; 2-4)- 5:30, Pac-12N
Pick: Utah

Kansas (1-8; 0-6) at Texas (4-5; 3-3)- 6:00, Longhorn Network
Pick: Texas

WKU (5-4; 3-2) at Marshall (6-3; 3-2)- 6:30
Pick: Marshall

(2) Alabama (9-0; 6-0) at (16) Mississippi State (7-2; 3-2)- 7:00, ESPN: This game is fascinating. The Tide have a ton of injuries right now especially on defense, but I'm gonna say that they still find a way although Nick Fitzgerald will keep the Bulldogs in is one.
Pick: Alabama

Purdue (4-5; 2-4) at (25) Northwestern (6-3; 4-2)- 7:00, ESPN2
Pick: Northwestern

UAB (6-3; 4-2) at UTSA (5-3; 2-3)- 7:00
Pick: UTSA

Tulane (3-6; 1-4) at East Carolina (2-7; 1-4)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: Tulane

New Mexico (3-6; 1-5) at Texas A&M (5-4; 3-3)- 7:00, ESPNU
Pick: Texas A&M

Old Dominion (3-6; 1-4) at FIU (6-2; 4-1)- 7:00
Pick: FIU

Tennessee (4-5; 0-5) at Missouri (4-5; 1-4)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Missouri

(3) Notre Dame (8-1) at (8) Miami (8-0; 6-0)- 8:00, ABC: The winner of this game could very well be heading to the College Football playoff. Expect a hard fought game and I like the Irish here on the road although the Canes defense will keep them in this game.
Pick: Notre Dame

(6) TCU (8-1; 5-1) at (3) Oklahoma (8-1; 5-1)- 8:00, FOX: This is a huge game that can help determine a College Football Playoff spot and these teams could very well meet in the Big-12 title game as well. Give me Baker Mayfield (who is the Heisman favorite right now) to lead the way for the Sooners.
Pick: Oklahoma

Arizona State (5-4; 4-2) at UCLA (4-5; 2-4)- 9:30, Pac-12N: Josh Rosen may not play and the Bruins are not good without him. Give me the Sun Devils on the road since Rosen isn't 100% and he might not play again this week.
Pick: Arizona State

Oregon State (1-8; 0-6) at Arizona (6-3; 4-2)- 10:00, ESPN2
Pick: Arizona

Wyoming (6-3; 4-1) at Air Force (4-5; 3-2)- 10:15, ESPNU
Pick: Air Force

Boise State (7-2; 5-0) at Colorado State (6-4; 4-2)- 10:30, CBSSN: This is a sneaky good game. The Rams have a real shot here to hand the Broncos their first conference loss, but I like the Broncos on the road in a close one.
Pick: Boise State

Fresno State (6-3; 4-1) at Hawaii (3-6; 1-5)- 11:59
Pick: Fresno State
