Here are my picks for week nine of the 2015 College Football season.
Thursday, October 29th
North Carolina (6-1; 3-0) at (23) Pittsburgh (6-1; 4-0)- 7:00, ESPN: This is a huge game in the ACC Coastal that could very well determine the division. I like Pitt to win this one at home thanks to clutch plays in the fourth quarter, which they've been doing all season long.
Pick: Pittsburgh
West Virginia (3-3; 0-3) at (5) TCU (7-0; 4-0)- 7:30, FS1: The Horned Frogs defense isn't good, so expect the Mountaineers to hang in this one.
Pick: TCU
Western Michigan (4-3; 3-0) at Eastern Michigan (1-7; 0-4)- 7:30, CBSSN
Pick: Western Michigan
Buffalo (3-4; 1-2) at Miami (OH) (1-7; 0-4)- 7:30, ESPN3
Pick: Buffalo

Pick: Wisconsin
(19) Ole Miss (6-2; 3-1) at Auburn (4-3; 1-3)- 12:00, ESPN: This was a tough call but I like the Tigers at home. This is likely one that I may end up regretting, though.
Pick: Auburn

Georgia Tech (3-5; 1-4) at Virginia (2-5; 1-2)- 3:00, ESPN3: I see a letdown here after that big win for the Yellow Jackets. Upset special here.
Pick: Virginia
USC (4-3; 2-2) at California (5-2; 2-2)- 3:00, FOX: The Trojans played great last weekend and the Bears haven't looked good at all lately. USC takes this one on the road.
Pick: USC

Pick: UCLA
(3) Clemson (7-0; 4-0) at NC State (5-2; 1-2)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2: This should be a good one as the Wolf Pack will keep it closer than the experts think.
Pick: Clemson
Georgia (5-2; 3-2) vs (11) Florida (6-1; 4-1)- 3:30, CBS: This game will be played at EverBank field in Jacksonville. The Gators will have somewhat of a homefield advantage here since the game is still in Florida. The Bulldogs will keep this one close, but the Gators will win.

Pick: Oklahoma
(12) Oklahoma State (7-0; 4-0) at Texas Tech (5-3; 2-3)- 3:30, ESPN: Big game here in the Big-12. The Cowboys have are unbeaten and that continues here although the Red Raiders keep it close.

Maryland (2-5; 0-3) at (10) Iowa (7-0; 3-0)- 3:30, ABC/ESPN2
Pick: Iowa

Pick: Duke
(15) Michigan (5-2; 2-1) at Minnesota (4-3; 1-2)- 7:00, ESPN: Expect the Wolverines to win a close one as they rebound from the heartbreaker against the Spartans.
Pick: Michigan
Texas (3-4; 2-2) at Iowa State (2-5; 1-3)- 7:00, FS1: The Longhorns may have just turned their season around after the debacle against the Horned Frogs from a few weeks back. I like them here to keep it going.
Pick: Texas
UTSA (1-6; 1-2) at North Texas (0-7; 0-4)- 7:00
Pick: UTSA
Tennessee (3-4; 1-3) at Kentucky (4-3; 2-3)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
(9) Notre Dame (6-1) at (21) Temple (7-0; 4-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a terrific game that has very big implications of the College Football Playoff. ESPN's College GameDay will be on site for this one as well. I expect this to be a fun game and I like the Fighting Irish here to get a big road win.
Pick: Notre Dame
Idaho (3-4; 2-2) at New Mexico State (0-7; 0-3)- 8:00, ESPN3
Pick: Idaho
Air Force (4-3; 3-1) at Hawaii (2-6; 0-4)- 10:30, CBSSN
Pick: Air Force
(8) Stanford (6-1; 5-0) at Washington State (5-2; 3-1)- 10:30, ESPN: This may just be the best game of the weekend. Wazzu is home and I'm tempted to pick them here to pull off the upset, but the Cardinal are just the better team here.
Pick: Stanford
Arizona (5-3; 2-3) at Washington (3-4; 1-3)- 11:00, FS1
Pick: Arizona
