Here are my picks for week eight of the 2018 College Football season.

Thursday, October 18th
Georgia State (2-4; 1-1) at Arkansas State (3-3; 0-2)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: Arkansas State

Stanford (4-2; 2-1) at Arizona State (3-3; 2-1)- 10:30, ESPN: Bryce Love is not healthy and the Cardinal offense has not been good lately. Herm Edwards gets a big win at home.
Pick: Arizona State

Friday, October 19th
Colorado State (3-4; 2-1) at Boise State (4-2; 2-1)- 9:00, ESPN2
Pick: Boise State

(6) Michigan (6-1; 4-0) at (20) Michigan State (4-2; 2-1)- 12:00, FOX: Like I said a week ago, Sparty is Jekkyl And Hyde. They either lose badly or win outright. They won outright last week, but I can totally see a letdown against an improved Wolverines team.

(1) Alabama (7-0; 4-0) at Tennessee (3-3; 1-2)- 3:30, CBS: Due to the injury to Tua Tagovailoa, this game will be closer than the experts think as the Tide still get the road win.
Pick: Alabama

(16) NC State (5-0; 2-0) at (3) Clemson (6-0; 3-0)- 3:30, ESPN: This game in all likelihood decides the Atlantic Division and the Tigers take it in a close one over Ryan Finley and the Wolfpack.
Pick: Clemson

Colorado (5-1; 2-1) at (15) Washington (5-2; 3-1)- 3:30, FOX: The Huskies get the bounce back win here after the tough OT loss in Eugene.
Pick: Washington

(18) Penn State (4-2; 1-2) at Indiana (4-3; 1-3)- 3:30, ABC: Trap game for the Nittany Lions? Possibly. But, I see a bounce back after the tough loss against Michigan State.

Memphis (4-3; 1-3) at Missouri (3-3; 0-3)- 4:00, SECN: I do think that Memphis can steal this game, but Missouri has the better quarterback in Drew Lock and they'll get the win.
Pick: Missouri

California (3-3; 0-3) at Oregon State (1-5; 0-3)- 4:00, Pac-12N: Upset special in Corvallis as Jonathan Smith gets his first conference win.

(12) Oregon (5-1; 2-1) at (25) Washington State (5-1; 2-1)- 7:30, FOX: GameDay finally heads to Pullman. Fifteen years in the making. The Ol Crimson Flag. You know the story. Now the question is, will they Coug it? It's possible with Justin Herbert making a case to be a top three pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but I say Pullman is rocking and the Cougars don't Coug it.
Pick: Washington State

Vanderbilt (3-4; 0-4) at (14) Kentucky (5-1; 3-1)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
