Pick: Georgia Southern
Utah (7-2; 4-2) at Arizona State (5-4; 2-4)- 9:30, FS1: The Utes better be careful because I believe the Sun Devils can pull this upset off. I'm not picking it though, but this will be closer than the experts think.

Friday, November 11th
Boston College (4-5; 1-5) at Florida State (6-3; 3-3)- 8:00, ESPN2
Pick: Florida State
Baylor (6-2; 3-2) at Oklahoma (7-2; 6-0)- 12:00, ABC/ESPN2: This is a big one in the Big-12. I like Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook to lead the way to Sooners here.
Pick: Oklahoma
Mississippi State (4-5; 2-3) at Alabama (9-0; 6-0)- 12:00, ESPN
Pick: Alabama
South Carolina (5-4; 3-4) at Florida (6-2; 4-2)- 12:00, CBS: Luke Del Rio is out for this one due to an injury, but I believe the defense leads the way against their former coach's new team.
Pick: Florida
Kentucky (5-4; 4-3) at Tennessee (6-3; 2-3)- 12:00, SECN: The Vols better not sleep on the Wildcats, but I say the Vols pull it out late.
Pick: Tennessee
Cincinnati (4-5; 1-4) at UCF (5-4; 3-2)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: UCF
SMU (4-5; 2-3) at East Carolina (3-6; 1-4)- 12:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: SMU
Tulsa (7-2; 4-1) at Navy (6-2; 4-1)- 12:00, CBSSN: This is a sneaky good one in the American. Give me the Midshipmen and that great offense at home.
Pick: Navy
Iowa State (1-8; 0-6) at Kansas (1-8; 0-6)- 12:00, FSN
Pick: Iowa State
West Virginia (7-1; 4-1) at Texas (5-4; 3-3)- 12:00, FS1: This screams "trap" for the Mountaineers, who have the Sooners and (if they win this weekend) possibly GameDay looming in Morgantown next weekend. This should be a fun game though, but I like the Neers here to win a tight one in Austin led by their defense.
Pick: West Virginia
Rutgers (2-7; 0-6) at Michigan State (2-6; 0-7)- 12:00, BTN: If Sparty loses this one, it's rock bottom.
Pick: Michigan State
Penn State (7-2; 5-1)- at Indiana (5-4; 3-3)- 12:00, ABC/ESPN2: Is this a possible hiccup for the Lions? I don't see it.
Pick: Penn State
Northwestern (4-5; 3-3) at Purdue (3-6; 1-5)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Northwestern
North Carolina State (4-5; 1-4) at Syracuse (4-5; 2-3)- 12:30, ACCN

Southern Utah (5-4; 4-3) at BYU (5-4)- 3:00
Pick: BYU
Auburn (7-2; 5-1) at Georgia (5-4; 3-4)- 3:30, CBS: I don't think this will be close. Tigers big.

Vanderbilt (4-5; 1-4) at Missouri (2-7; 0-5)- 3:30, SECN
Pick: Vanderbilt
Notre Dame (3-6) vs Army (5-4)- 3:30, NBC: This game will be played in San Antonio. The Knights are better this season, but give me the Fighting Irish here.
Pick: Notre Dame
Pittsburgh (5-4; 2-3) at Clemson (9-0; 6-0)- 3:30, ABC: The Tigers have been in close games all season long and I believe the Panthers will keep it close.
Pick: Clemson
Georgia Tech (5-4; 2-4) at Virginia Tech (7-2; 5-1)- 3:30, ESPNU
Pick: Virginia Tech
UTSA (5-4; 4-2) at Louisiana Tech (7-3; 5-1)- 3:30, KMYS: Here's a sneaky good one that possibly decides the C-USA West. Give me the Bulldogs at home.
Pick: Louisiana Tech
North Texas (4-5; 2-3) at Western Kentucky (7-3; 5-1)- 3:30
Pick: Western Kentucky
Southern Miss (5-4; 3-2) at Old Dominion (6-3; 4-1)- 3:30, ASN
Pick: Old Dominion
Appalachian State (7-2; 5-0) at Troy (7-1; 4-0)- 3:30, ESPN3: This game could very well decide the Sun Belt winner. I like the Trojans at home.
Pick: Troy
Illinois (3-6; 2-4) at Wisconsin (7-2; 4-2)- 3:30, ESPN2
Pick: Wisconsin
Tulane (3-6; 0-5) at Houston (7-2; 4-2)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Houston
Ohio State (8-1; 5-1) at Maryland (5-4; 2-4)- 3:30, ESPN: The Buckeyes finally laid the smack down last weekend and they did it in a quality opponent in Nebraska, who wound up losing their quarterback during the game due to injury. I believe they'll play up to capability again in College Park.
Pick: Maryland
Texas Tech (4-5; 2-4) at Oklahoma State (7-2; 5-1)- 3:30, FS1: Don't be surprised if you hear rumblings of Kliff Kingsburry's job security after this week.
Pick: Oklahoma State
Idaho (5-4; 3-2) at Texas State (2-6; 0-4)- 4:00, ESPN3
Pick: Idaho
Stanford (6-3; 4-3) at Oregon (3-6; 1-5) 4:00, Pac-12N: This should be a fun game, but Christian McCaffrey will be the difference here as the Cardinal win in Eugene.
Pick: Stanford
UTEP (3-6; 1-4) at Florida Atlantic (2-7; 1-4)- 6:00
Pick: UTEP
Boise State (8-1; 4-1) at Hawaii (4-6; 3-3)- 7:00, CBSSN: The Rainbow Warriors have fallen off lately, so give me the Broncos on the road.
Pick: Boise State
Middle Tennessee (6-3; 3-2)- at Marshall (2-7; 1-4)- 7:00
Pick: Middle Tennessee
Wake Forest (6-3; 3-2) at Louisville (8-1; 6-1)- 7:00, ESPN2: The Demon Deacons are improved, but not good enough to stop Heisman favorite Lamar Jackson.
Pick: Louisville
LSU (5-3; 3-2) at Arkansas (6-3; 2-3)- 7:00, ESPN: This is a good one in Fayetteville, but give me Leonard Fournette and the Tigers to bounce back from their tough loss against Bama.
Pick: LSU
South Florida (7-2; 4-1) at Memphis (6-3; 3-2)- 7:00, ESPNU: This is should be a fun game. I like the Tigers to pull the upset at home.
Pick: Memphis
Minnesota (7-2; 4-2) at Nebraska (7-2; 4-2)- 7:30, BTN: This is actually a pretty good game. I like the Cornhuskers to bounce back from their disastrous loss in Columbus.
Pick: Nebraska
Ole Miss (4-5; 1-4) at Texas A&M (7-2; 4-2)- 7:30, SECN: Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly is out for the season with a torn ACL, so expect the Aggies to bounce back in a big way from their crushing loss in Starkville.
Pick: Texas A&M
USC (6-3; 5-2) at Washington (9-0; 6-0) 7:30, FOX: This is the best game of the weekend and GameDay will be on hand for it. The Trojans have won five straight games, but I believe that streak comes to an end here although it will be a close one in Seattle.
Pick: Washington
Michigan (9-0; 6-0) at Iowa (5-4; 3-3)- 8:00, ABC: I believe the Hawkeyes will keep this interesting throughout, but Jabrill Peppers and the Wolverines will prove to be too much.
Pick: Michigan
Oregon State (2-7; 1-5) at UCLA (3-6; 1-5)- 9:00, Pac-12N
Pick: UCLA
Colorado (7-2; 5-1) at Arizona (2-7; 0-6) 10:00, FS1
Pick: Colorado
New Mexico (6-3; 4-1) at Utah State (3-6; 1-5)- 10:15, ESPNU
Pick: New Mexico
Colorado State (5-4; 3-2) at Air Force (6-3; 2-3)- 10:15, ESPN2
Pick: Air Force
San Diego State (8-1; 5-0) at Nevada (3-6; 1-4)- 10:30
Pick: San Diego State
California (4-5; 2-4) at Washington State (7-2; 6-0)- 10:30, ESPN: The Huskies can't sleep on the Bears, who can score, but I believe they'll outscore the Bears en route to a win in a Pac-12 After Dark matchup.
Pick: Washington State
