Middle Tennessee (2-3; 1-0) at Western Kentucky (4-1; 2-0)- 12:00
Pick: Western Kentucky

Illinois (4-1; 1-0) at (22) Iowa (5-0; 1-0)- 12:00, ESPN: Both of these teams have gotten off to surprisingly good starts. Expect a low scoring game here and for Iowa to take it at home.
Pick: Iowa

(3) Baylor (4-0; 1-0) at Kansas (0-4; 0-1)- 12:00, FS1
Pick: Baylor

(10) Oklahoma (4-0; 1-0) vs Texas (1-4; 0-2) 12:00, ABC (Cotton Bowl): Texas has been a dumpster fire so Oklahoma is the easy pick here after their huge win over the Mountaineers.
Pick: Oklahoma

Maryland (2-3; 0-1) at (1) Ohio State (4-0; 1-0)- 12:00, BTN: The Buckeyes have looked vulnerable so far this season but that doesn't stop them from winning..... Yet.
Pick: Ohio State

Indiana (4-1; 0-1) at Penn State (4-1; 1-0) 12:00, ESPN2- Indiana has exceeded expectations so far and they went toe-to-toe with Ohio State last week and nearly came back to tie the game. I see a letdown here for the Hoosiers as the Lions will win at home.
Pick: Penn State

Tulane (2-2; 1-0) at Temple (4-0; 1-0) 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Temple

Central Michigan (2-3; 1-0) at Western Michigan (1-3; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN3

Georgia Tech (2-3; 0-2) at (6) Clemson (4-0; 1-0)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2: Georgia Tech has disappointed
lately as Clemson continues their playoff push.
Pick: Clemson

(19) Georgia (4-1; 2-1) at Tennessee (2-3; 0-2)- 3:30, CBS: Georgia bounces back after a poor showing against the Tide.
Pick: Georgia

Pick: Syracuse

Navy (4-0; 2-0) at (15) Notre Dame (4-1)- 3:30, NBC
Pick: Notre Dame

(13) Northwestern (5-0; 1-0) at (18) Michigan (4-1; 1-0)- 3:30, BTN: This is a huge game in the Big-10. Both teams have great defenses, but I think the Wolverines get it done at the Big House.
Pick: Michigan

Wisconsin (3-2; 0-1) at Nebraska (2-3; 0-1)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2: Both of these teams have been disappointments early on. Tough call, but I like the Badgers to win it in Lincoln.

Pick: Minnesota

(7) LSU (4-0; 2-0) at South Carolina (2-3; 0-3)- 3:30, ESPN: Don't be surprised if this turns out to be a close game.
Pick: LSU

Iowa State (2-2; 1-0) at Texas Tech (3-2; 0-2)- 3:30
Pick: Texas Tech

Connecticut (2-3; 0-1) at UCF (0-5; 0-1)- 3:45, ESPNEWS

New Mexico (3-2; 1-0) at Nevada (2-3; 0-1)- 7:00
Pick: New Mexico

Arkansas (2-3; 1-1) at (8) Alabama (4-1; 1-1)- 7:00, ESPN: This could be a trap game for Bama, but I don't see it.
Pick: Alabama

Louisiana Tech (3-2; 1-1) at UTSA (1-4; 1-0)- 7:00
Pick: Louisiana Tech

(21) Oklahoma State (5-0; 2-0) at West Virginia (3-1; 0-1)- 7:00, ESPN2: Both teams are good with great offenses, but I think the Mountaineers bounce back from a disappointing loss in Norman and
pull out the win in Morgantown.
Pick: West Virginia

(2) TCU (5-0; 2-0) at Kansas State (3-1; 0-1)- 7:30, FOX: I really do think the Wildcats can win the one, but I can't bet against the Frogs at this point.
Pick: TCU

(11) Florida (5-0; 3-0) at Missouri (4-1; 1-1)- 7:30, SECN: The Gators proved that they're for real and I do think they can keep it going in Columbia against a Mizzou team that hasn't looked great lately.
Pick: Florida

East Carolina (3-2; 1-1) at BYU (3-2)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: BYU

Miami (FL) (3-1; 0-0) at (12) Florida State (4-0; 2-0)- 8:00, ABC: Al Golden probably has to win this game to keep his job with Miami, but I don't see them winning this game although I think it will be a closer game than the experts think.
Pick: Florida State

(4) Michigan State (5-0; 1-0) at Rutgers (2-2; 0-1)- 8:00, BTN
Pick: Michigan State

San Jose State (2-3; 1-1) at UNLV (2-3; 1-0)- 9:00
Pick: UNLV

Colorado (3-2; 0-1) at Arizona State (3-2; 1-1)- 10:00, Pac-12N: The Sun Devils won a huge game at the Rose Bowl last week and the Buffaloes are coming off a home loss against Oregon. I do see a bit of a let down for the Devs, but I think they still get the job done.
Pick: Arizona State

(23) California (5-0; 2-0) at (5) Utah (4-0; 1-0)- 10:00, ESPN: This is the biggest game of the week and perhaps will be the best one too. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this game as well. Both teams have exceeded expectations so far, but I think the Utes are the better team here and home field advantage will help, too.
Pick: Utah

Wyoming (0-5; 0-1) at Air Force (2-2; 1-0)- 10:15, ESPN2
Pick: Air Force

Utah State (2-2; 1-0) at Fresno State (1-4; 0-2)- 10:30, CBSSN

Pick: San Diego State
