Pick: Mississippi State
Michigan State (6-4; 4-3) at Nebraska (3-7; 2-5)- 12:00, FOX: Tough call here. Sparty has avoided bad trap losses this season for the most part. Call me crazy, but I see the Huskers pulling this out.
Pick: Nebraska
Penn State (7-3; 4-3) at Rutgers (1-9; 0-7)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Penn State
South Florida (7-3; 3-3) at Temple (6-4; 5-1)- 12:00, ESPNEWS
Pick: Temple
Northwestern (6-4; 6-1) at Minnesota (5-5; 2-5)- 12:00, BTN: The Wildcats know they're going to the Big-10 title game. Gophers need this game to become bowl eligible and they'll win it at home.
Pick: Minnesota
Colgate (9-0; 6-0) at Army (8-2)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: Army
TCU (4-6; 2-5) at Baylor (5-5; 3-4)- 12:00, FS1
Pick: Baylor
Pittsburgh (6-4; 5-1) at Wake Forest (5-5; 2-4)- 12:00, ACCN: The Demon Decons need this game to become bowl eligible and this would be a spot I can see the Panthers looking ahead.
Pick: Wake Forest
NC State (6-3; 3-3) at Louisville (2-8; 0-7)- 12:00, ACCN
Pick: NC State
Utah (7-3; 5-3) at Colorado (5-5; 2-5)- 1:30, Pac-12N: The Buffaloes surprisingly fired Mike McIntyre and I can totally see them being distracted due to that.
Pick: Utah
Utah State (9-1; 6-0) at Colorado State (3-7; 2-4)- 2:00
Pick: Utah State
FIU (7-3; 5-1) at Charlotte (4-6; 3-3)- 2:00
Pick: FIU
VMI (1-9; 0-8) at Old Dominion (3-7; 2-5)- 2:00
Pick: Old Dominion
Syracuse (8-2; 5-2) vs Notre Dame (10-0)- 2:30, NBC: This game is being played at Yankee Stadium, which will bring a lot of Orange fans to the game. The Irish will certainly have fans there too, but I expect this game to be closer than expected early on and for the Irish to pull away late.
Pick: Notre Dame
UTSA (3-7; 2-4) at Marshall (6-3; 4-2)- 2:30
Pick: Marshall
Georgia State (2-8; 1-5) at Appalachian State (7-2; 5-1)- 2:30
Pick: Appalachian State

Pick: North Carolina
UL Monroe (6-4; 4-2) at Arkansas State (6-4; 3-3)- 3:00
Pick: Arkansas State
West Virginia (8-1; 6-1) at Oklahoma State (5-5; 2-5)- 3:30, ABC: Boy this is one of the more fascinating games of the weekend. The Mountaineers are in the playoff hunt and this is a logical trap spot with the Sooners looming next week in Morgantown. Meanwhile, the Cowboys nearly picked off the Sooners in Norman so it makes sense for them to have a letdown. Nothing would surprise me here. Give me Mike Gundy to actually put a damp in a conference opponents playoff hopes, unlike last week.
Pick: Oklahoma State
Boston College (7-3; 4-2) at Florida State (4-6; 2-5)- 3:30, ESPN2: This is a logical spot for the a Eagles to have a hangover after playing against Clemson, but the Seminoles are a hot mess. Give me the Eagles.
Pick: Boston College
Iowa (6-4; 3-4) at Illinois (4-6; 2-5)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Iowa
Tulsa (2-8; 1-5) at Navy (2-8; 1-5)- 3:30, CBSSN
Pick: Tulsa
Texas State (3-7; 1-5) at Troy (8-2; 6-0)- 3:30, ESPN+
Pick: Troy
Louisiana Tech (7-3; 5-1) at Southern Miss (4-5; 3-3)- 3:30
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Wisconsin (6-4; 4-3) at Purdue (5-5; 4-3)- 3:30, BTN
Pick: Purdue
Bowling Green (2-8; 1-5) at Akron (4-5; 2-4)- 3:30, ESPN3
Pick: Akron
Virginia (7-3; 4-2) at Georgia Tech (6-4; 4-3)- 3:30, ACCN
Pick: Georgia Tech
Miami (5-5; 2-4) at Virginia Tech (4-5; 3-3)- 3:30, ESPN: Battle of the Coastal Division flops goes to the Hokies at home.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Texas Tech (5-5; 3-4) at Kansas State (4-6; 2-4)- 3:30, ESPNU: The Wildcats need this one to keep their hopes for a bowl alive, but I don't see it. Tech wins.
Pick: Texas Tech
Missouri (6-4; 2-4) at Tennessee (5-5; 2-4)- 3:30, CBS: The Vols are a win shy of bowl eligiblity and they'll get it here.
Pick: Tennessee
USC (5-5; 4-4) at UCLA (2-8; 2-5)- 3:30, FOX: Clay Helton definitely is gone if the Trojans lose this one. I'm gonna say they get the win over Chip Kelly's squad to become bowl eligible although there's look ahead ability with Notre Dame looming next week.
Pick: USC
Indiana (5-5; 2-5) at Michigan (9-1; 7-0)- 3:30, FS1
Pick: Michigan
Massachusetts (4-7) at Georgia (9-1; 7-1)- 4:00, SECN

Pick: Georgia Southern
South Alabama (2-8; 1-5) at Louisiana (5-5; 3-3)- 5:00, ESPN3
Pick: Louisiana
Nevada (6-4; 4-2) at San Jose State (1-9; 1-5)- 5:00, ESPN3
Pick: Nevada
Duke (7-3; 3-3) at Clemson (10-0; 7-0)- 7:00, ESPN: Part of me thinks that the Blue Devils can hang around, but Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers offense has been on fire of late. Tigers big.
Pick: Clemson
Connecticut (1-9; 0-6) at East Carolina (2-7; 0-6)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: East Carolina
UAB (9-1; 7-0) at Texas A&M (6-4; 4-3)- 7:00, ESPN2: This game is going to be a lot closer than the experts think.

Pick: WKU
Cincinnati (9-1; 6-1) at UCF (9-0; 6-0)- 8:00, ABC: A well deserved primetime game spot with GameDay on hand for perhaps the two best teams in the AAC facing off. I expect a close game, but McKenzie Milton finds a way for the Knights to remain unbeaten.
Pick: UCF
Iowa State (6-3; 5-2) at Texas (7-3; 5-2)- 8:00, Longhorn: This game could have a say of who's in the Big-12 title game depending on what happens in Stillwater. Give me the Longhorns at home in a close one.
Pick: Texas
New Mexico State (3-7) at BYU (5-5)- 10:15, ESPN2
Pick: BYU
Arizona (5-5; 4-3) at Washington State (9-1; 6-1)- 10:30, ESPN: The Wildcats have been playing a lot better of late and the Cougs have been in a ton of close games of late. I think the Cougs win another close one.
Pick: Washington State
San Diego State (7-3; 4-2) at Fresno State (8-2; 5-1)- 10:30, CBSSN: Big bounce back win here for the Bulldogs.
Pick: Fresno State
