Thursday, November 17th
Louisville (9-1; 7-1) at Houston (8-2; 5-2)- 8:00, ESPN: This game doesn't look as sexy as it did in September, but it should still be interesting. Give me Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals to get a big road win.

Pick: Texas A&M
Kansas State (5-4; 3-3) at Baylor (6-3; 3-3)- 12:00, ABC/ESPN2: Seth Russell is out for the season with an injury, so this is a hard call, but give me Bill Snyder's squad on the road.

Pick: UTEP
Ohio State (9-1; 6-1) at Michigan State (3-7; 1-6)- 12:00, ESPN: I get it, this game isn't as big as we thought it would be before the season, but I feel Sparty will give the Buckeyes a game as they will keep it closer than the experts think. Don't forget, there's trap potential for the Buckeyes since they host Michigan next week.
Pick: Ohio State
Iowa (6-4; 4-3) at Illinois (3-5; 2-7)- 12:00, BTN: This has letdown potential for the Hawkeyes after a monumental upset over Michigan. Don't be surprised if this one is close in the second half.
Pick: Iowa
Oklahoma State (7-2; 5-1) at TCU (5-4; 3-3)- 12:00, FS1: The Horned Frogs are favored in this one, but I don't think they can stop Mason Rudolph and that Cowboys offense.

Washington State (8-2; 7-0) at Colorado (8-2; 6-1)- 4:30, FOX: This is such a big one in Boulder. This will be a shootout and I believe the Buffaloes come out on top at home.
Pick: Colorado
Stanford (7-3; 5-3) at California (4-5; 2-4)- 5:30, Pac-12N: Cal can score on anyone, but they won't be able to stop Christian McCaffrey.

South Florida (8-2; 5-1) at SMU (5-5; 3-3)- 7:00, CBSSN: This is a sneaky decent game, if the Mustangs win, they'll be bowl eligible, but I'm not sure if they can knock off a very good Bulls team.
Pick: South Florida
Alabama A&M (3-6; 3-5) at Auburn (7-3; 5-2)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: Auburn
Arizona State (5-5; 2-5) at Washington (9-1; 6-1)- 7:30, FOX: I see a big bounce back with for Jake Browning and the Huskies.

Oklahoma (8-2; 7-0) at West Virginia (8-1; 5-1)- 8:00, ABC: This is the biggest game of the weekend and I am quite surprised that GameDay didn't select Morgantown.

USC (7-3; 6-2) at UCLA (4-6; 2-5)- 10:30, ESPN: Had Josh Rosen been healthy, this would have been a fantastic quarterback matchup between him and Sam Darnold. Darnold has been awesome as the Trojans quarterback and he'll lead them to their seventh straight win.

Pick: Air Force
Arizona (2-8; 0-7) at Oregon State (2-8; 1-6)- 10:30, Pac-12N
