Washington State (3-0; 0-0) at USC (1-2; 0-0)- 10:30, ESPN: This is a must win game for Coach Helton and the Trojans. They'll get it behind their home faithful and a good game by JT Daniels.

Saturday, September 22nd
(3) Georgia (3-0; 1-0) at Missouri (3-0; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPN: Interesting game here as the Tigers are trying to prove they're for real. The Bulldogs will hand the Tigers their first loss.
Pick: Georgia
(8) Notre Dame (3-0) at Wake Forest (2-1; 0-1)- 12:00, ABC: Trap game for the Irish? I say so, but they'll pull out the win late as they have their first three games.

Pick: Michigan
(23) Boston College (3-0; 1-0) at Purdue (0-3; 0-1)- 12:00, ESPN2: This is going to be a close win for the Eagles as the Boiler Makers have lost close games in their first three.

Pick: Ole Miss
Buffalo (3-0; 1-0) at Rutgers (1-2; 0-1)- 12:00, BTN: It's not an upset because the Bulls are favored here.
Pick: Buffalo
Minnesota (3-0; 0-0) at Maryland (2-1; 0-0)- 12:00, BTN: Tough call here, but I'm going with the Gophers on the road since I still have a bad taste from the Terps debacle against Temple.
Pick: Minnesota
Akron (2-0; 0-0) at Iowa State (0-2; 0-1)- 12:00, FSN: The Cyclones absolutely need this game and I think they'll get it as the Zips have a letdown after their big win last week.

Ohio (1-1; 0-0) at Cincinnati (3-0; 0-0)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Cincinnati
Nevada (2-1; 0-0) at Toledo (1-1; 0-0)- 12:00, CBSSN

Maine (2-0; 1-0) at Central Michigan (0-1; 0-3)- 3:00, ESPN+: The Blackbirds already beat an FBS school in WKU, who was missing their quarterback. I don't see another upset here.
Pick: Central Michigan
Texas A&M (2-1; 0-0) at (1) Alabama (3-0; 1-0)- 3:30, CBS: I wouldn't be shocked if the Aggies hung around for a half or even three quarters, but the Tide pulls away late.

Pick: West Virginia
(13) Virginia Tech (2-0; 0-0) at Old Dominion (0-3; 0-2)- 3:30, CBSSN: Don't be shocked if the Huskies are rusty early as well due to having off last week, but they'll win by double digits too.

Pick: Syracuse
(17) TCU (2-1; 0-0) at Texas (2-1; 0-0)- 4:30, FOX: Huge game here in the Big-12. Very, very tough call. I like what I saw from the Longhorns last week on both sides of the ball meanwhile if the Hornfrogs didn't turn the ball over a lot last week they could have won. Give me the Frogs in a close one.
Pick: TCU
McNeese (3-0; 2-0) at (25) BYU (2-1)- 6:00, ESPN3
Pick: BYU
North Texas (3-0; 0-0) at Liberty (1-1)- 6:00, ESPN3: Won't be shocked if this is close because I can see a little letdown for the Mean Green after their big win last week.
Pick: North Texas
Army (2-1) at (5) Oklahoma (3-0; 1-0)- 7:00, FSN: Sooners going to win big here although the Knights can't be taken lightly.

Pick: LSU
(14) Mississippi State (3-0; 0-0) at Kentucky (3-0; 1-0)- 7:00, ESPN2: This game fascinates me. Two very good teams going at it. I'm going to take Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs on the road in a close one.

Texas Tech (2-1; 0-0) at (15) Oklahoma State (3-0; 0-0)- 7:00, FS1: Cowboys win this game big.

Pick: Auburn
(24) Michigan State (1-1; 0-0) at Indiana (3-0; 0-0)- 7:30, BTN: I'm sure a lot of folks like the Hosiers to pull off the upset. Not me. I think Sparty squeaks it out.
Pick: Michigan State
New Mexico State (0-4) at UTEP (0-3; 0-0)- 7:30, ESPN3: You know what? I think the Miners finally get a win.
Pick: UTEP
(7) Stanford (3-0; 1-0) at (20) Oregon (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ABC: This should be a fun game with GameDay on hand. Bryce Love's health is a major concern for the Cardinal and I love this Ducks offense and I don't think the Cardinal defense will stop Justin Huebert.
Pick: Oregon
East Carolina (1-1; 0-0) at South Florida (3-0; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: South Florida
Texas Southern (1-2; 0-0) at Houston (2-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN3
