Tuesday, November 22nd
Akron (5-6; 3-4) at Ohio (7-4; 5-2)- 7:00, ESPNU: The Zips need a win to get in a bowl game, but I don't see them getting a big road win here against a hot Bobcats team.
Pick: Ohio
Ball State (4-7; 1-6) at Miami (OH) (5-6; 5-2) 7:00, ESPN3: The RedHawks need a win here to become bowl eligible after starting the season 0-6. I believe they'll get that here at home.
Pick: Miami (OH)
Central Michigan (6-5; 3-4) at Eastern Michigan (6-5; 3-4) 7:00, ESPN3
Pick: Eastern Michigan
Thursday, November 24th
LSU (6-4; 4-3) at Texas A&M (8-3; 4-3)- 7:30, ESPN: This should be an entertaining game on Thanksgiving night.
Pick: Texas A&M
Friday, November 25th
Northern Illinois (4-7; 4-3) at Kent State (3-8; 2-5) 12:00
Pick: Northern Illinois
North Carolina State (5-6; 2-5) at North Carolina (8-3; 5-2)- 12:00, ESPN: The Wolfpack needs a win to become bowl eligible. The Tar Heels need a win and Virginia Tech to lose to Virginia to reach the Conference Championship game. I say the Tar Heels take this one at home.
Pick: North Carolina
Houston (9-2; 5-2) at Memphis (7-4; 4-3)- 12:00, ABC: Let down looms for the Cougars here after a huge home win over Louisville to knock them out of the playoff hunt. The Tigers will put up their points, but I like the Cougars here on the road.
Pick: Houston
Buffalo (2-9; 1-6) at Bowling Green (3-8; 2-5)- 2:30
Pick: Bowling Green
Arkansas (7-4; 3-4) at Missouri (3-8; 1-6)- 2:30, CBS
Pick: Missouri
Washington (10-1; 7-1) at Washington State (8-3; 7-1)- 3:30, FOX: This is the biggest Apple Cup game in years. This game will decide who goes to the Pac-12 Championship to play the winner of the Pac-12 South. The quarterback matchup is fun as well and I like Jake Browning and the Huskies to get a big road win here against Luke Falk and the Cougars.
Pick: Washington
Boise State (10-1; 6-1) at Air Force (8-3; 4-3)- 3:30, CBSSN: This is a sneaky good game. The Broncos are playing for a chance to play in the MWC Championship game with a win and a Wyoming loss and a possible New Years Six bowl as well. Give me the Broncos in a close one in Colorado Springs.
Pick: Boise State
TCU (5-5; 3-4) at Texas (5-6; 3-5)- 3:30, FS1: This game is very interesting. The winner here receives a bowl game and this is such a hard game to pick. This is Charlie Strong's final home game as the school came out and said he'll coach the game and that they'll re-evaluate him after the game. That said, give me the Longhorns to bounce back from their awful loss to Kansas at home against a Horn Frogs team that looked hapless a week ago.
Pick: Texas
Nebraska (9-2; 6-2) at Iowa (7-4; 5-3)- 3:30, ABC: This is going to be an awesome game. The Hawkeyes are my pick here because they are home and the Cornhuskers won't have Tommy Armstrong again in all likelihood.
Pick: Iowa
Louisiana Tech (8-3; 6-1) at Southern Miss (5-6; 3-4)- 4:00, ESPNEWS: The Bulldogs have already clinched their spot in the Conference-USA Championship game and the Golden Eagles need a win to become bowl eligible. Give me the Eagles here at home.
Pick: Southern Miss
Toledo (9-2; 6-1) at Western Michigan (10-0; 7-1) 5:00, ESPNU: This game decides who plays Ohio in the MAC Championship game. The Broncos are the superior team and they'll get the job done at home.
Pick: Western Michigan
Baylor (6-4; 3-4) vs Texas Tech (4-7; 2-6)- 6:00, ESPN: This game will be played in Arlington. This was a tough call, but I like the Bears here because the Red Raiders cant stop anyone and it could very well be Kliff Kingsbury's final game as the Red Raiders coach.
Pick: Baylor
Cincinnati (4-7; 1-6) at Tulsa (8-3; 5-2)- 8:30, ESPNU
Pick: Tulsa
Arizona State (5-6; 2-6) at Arizona (2-9; 0-8)- 9:30, ESPN: The Sun Devils can become bowl eligible here with a win and I believe they'll get it in Tuscon against a hapless Wildcats team.
Pick: Arizona State
Saturday, November 26th
Georgia Tech (7-4; 4-4) at Georgia (7-4; 4-4)- 12:00, ACCN
Pick: Georgia
Kentucky (6-5; 4-4) at (11) Louisville (9-2; 7-1)- 12:00, ESPN: Lamar Jackson will bounce back from a poor performance from last weeks loss in Houston and will seal the Heisman here.
Pick: Louisville
Kansas (2-9; 1-7) at Kansas State (6-4; 4-3)- 12:00, FS1: Huge letdown here for the Jayhawks here after their first conference win in two years.
Pick: Kansas State
Rutgers (2-9; 0-8) at Maryland (5-6; 2-6)- 12:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: Maryland
(3) Michigan (10-1; 7-1) at (2) Ohio State (10-1; 7-1)- 12:00, ABC: Here we have The Game, which is the biggest game of the entire season so far. The winner likely goes to the College Football Playoff and I believe the winner will be the Buckeyes at home led by JT Barrett in a thriller.
Pick: Ohio State
Purdue (3-8; 1-7) at Indiana (5-6; 3-6)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Indiana
Illinois (3-8; 2-6) at Northwestern (5-6; 4-4)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Northwestern
UCF (6-5; 4-3) at South Florida (9-2; 6-1)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: South Florida
Virginia (2-9; 1-6) at Virginia Tech (8-3; 5-2)- 12:00, ESPN2: The Hokies need a win or a Tarheels loss to get to the ACC Championship game and I believe the Hokies get the win.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Arkansas State (6-4; 6-0) at Louisiana-Lafayette (4-6; 3-3)- 12:00, ESPN3
Pick: Arkansas State
Syracuse (4-7; 2-5) at Pittsburgh (7-4; 4-3)- 12:30, ACCN
Pick: Pittsburgh
Boston College (5-6; 1-6) at Wake Forest (6-5; 3-4)- 3:00, ACCN: The Decon Demons are already bowl eligible and the Eagles need a win to become bowl eligible. I believe the Eagles get it done on the road led by their defense to become bowl eligible.
Pick: Boston College
Duke (4-7; 1-6) at Miami (FL) (7-4; 4-3)- 3:30, ESPN2
Pick: Miami (FL)
FIU (4-7; 4-3) at Old Dominion (8-3; 6-1)- 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Old Dominion
San Jose State (3-8; 2-5) at Fresno State (1-10; 1-7)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Fresno State
Mississippi State (4-7; 2-5) at Ole Miss (5-6; 2-5)- 3:30, SECN: The quarterback matchup should be fun here, but give me the Rebels at home to become bowl eligible.
Pick: Ole Miss
(13) Auburn (8-3; 5-2) at (1) Alabama (11-0; 7-0)- 3:30, CBS: The Iron Bowl. Don't be surprised if this game is close in the second half, but Jalen Hurts makes the plays down the stretch to remain unbeaten.
Pick: Alabama
Notre Dame (4-7) at (12) USC (8-3; 7-2)- 3:30, ABC: The Trojans will win this one going away. The Irish have too many distractions right now and they have nothing to play for.
Pick: USC
(25) Navy (8-2; 6-1) at SMU (5-6; 3-4)- 3:30, ESPNU: The Mustangs are playing for a bowl game, but the Midshipmen are playing for a New Years Six bowl, and I believe the Mipshipmen get it done behind their offense.
Pick: Navy
(18) West Virginia (8-2; 5-2) at Iowa State (3-8; 2-6)- 3:30, FS1: I see the Cyclones having a big letdown after their blowout win over the Red Raiders as the Mountaineers bounce back from their tough loss against the Sooners.
Pick: West Virginia
Michigan State (3-8; 1-7) at (7) Penn State (9-2; 7-1) 3:30, ESPN: The Lions have to be careful here as Sparty has been more competitve of late, but they'll win a game that will be closer than the experts think.
Pick: Penn State
Minnesota (8-3; 5-3) at Wisconsin (9-2; 6-2)- 3:30, BTN: The winner of this game could go to the Big-10 Championship game (if the Gophers win, but the Huskers win, the Huskers go). The Badgers are the better team and they'll win to seal their ticket to Indianapolis.
Pick: Wisconsin
South Alabama (5-5; 1-5) at Idaho (6-4; 4-2)- 3:30
Pick: Idaho
Troy (8-2; 5-1) at Texas State (2-8; 0-6)- 4:00, ESPN3

Pick: Connecticut
Oregon (4-7; 2-6) at Oregon State (3-8; 2-6)- 4:00, Pac-12N: I see a big letdown for the Ducks after a nice upset win in Salt Lake City. Beavers take it at home.
Pick: Oregon State
Nevada (4-7; 2-5) at UNLV (4-7; 3-4)- 4:00
Pick: UNLV
North Texas (5-6; 3-4) at UTEP (3-8; 1-6)- 4:00

Pick: California
(22) Utah (8-3; 5-3) at (9) Colorado (9-2; 7-1)- 7:30, FOX: The Buffaloes need this win to make the Pac-12 Championship game and I believe they will.
Pick: Colorado
South Carolina (6-5; 3-5) at (4) Clemson (10-1; 7-1)- 7:30, ESPN: The Tigers should win, but the Gamecocks will hang around.
Pick: Clemson
(17) Tennessee (8-3; 4-3) at Vanderbilt (5-6; 2-5)- 7:30, SECN: The Commodores need a win to become bowl eligible and I believe they'll get it done behind Derek Mason.

Pick: Stanford
(15) Florida (8-2; 6-2) at (14) Florida State; 8:00, ABC: The Gators defense could keep them in this game, but Dalvin Cook should lead the way for the Seminoles at home.
Pick: Florida State
Colorado State (6-5; 4-3) at San Diego State (9-2; 6-1)- 9:00, CBSSN
Pick: San Diego State
Wyoming (8-3; 6-1) at New Mexico (7-4; 5-2)- 10:15, ESPN2: This is a huge game that is sneaky great. The Cowboys need a win to get to the MWC Championship game, but I see the Lobos pulling off the home upset as Boise State will take the Mountain Division.
Pick: New Mexico
Utah State (3-8; 1-7) at BYU (7-4)- 10:15, ESPNU
Pick: BYU
Massachusetts (2-9) at Hawaii (5-7; 4-4)- 11:59
