Here are my picks for week seven of the 2019 College Football season.
Wednesday, October 9th
Appalachian State (4-0; 1-0) at Louisiana (4-1; 1-0)- 8:00, ESPN2: This is the real prove it game for the Ragin Cajuns, who have impressed so far this season. I like the Mountaineers here on the road to get it done since I'm not sold that the Cajuns defense can get enough stops.
Prediction: Appalachian State
Thursday, October 10th
Syracuse (3-2; 0-1) at NC State (3-2; 0-1)- 8:00, ESPN: This is a tough game to predict as both of these teams aren't as good as I expected them to be. Give me the home team in a close one.
Prediction: NC State
UL Monroe (2-3; 1-0) at Texas State (2-3; 1-0)- 9:15, ESPNU
Prediction: UL Monroe
Friday, October 11th
(20) Virginia (4-1; 2-0) at Miami (2-3; 0-2)- 8:00, ESPN: Someone explain to me why an overrated Hurricanes team starting a backup quarterback is favored here against a ranked team that is actually really good. Cavaliers win it and silence the doubters.
Prediction: Virginia
Colorado State (1-5; 0-2) at New Mexico (2-3; 0-1)- 8:00, CBSSN
Prediction: New Mexico
Colorado (3-2; 1-1) at (13) Oregon (4-1; 2-0)- 10:00, FS1: The Ducks are a team that I think could be peaking ahead to their game against Washington next week, so this game will be closer than the experts think.
Prediction: Oregon
Saturday, October 12th
South Carolina (2-3; 1-2) at (3) Georgia (5-0; 2-0)- 12:00, ESPN
Prediction: Georgia
(6) Oklahoma (5-0; 2-0) vs (11) Texas (4-1; 2-0)- 12:00, FOX: This rivalry game from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is always fun. Tom Herman is going to get his team ready to go here and I think they'll go toe-to-toe with the Sooners and I do think the Sooners end up winning.
Prediction: Oklahoma
(16) Michigan (4-1; 2-1) at Illinois (2-3; 0-2)- 12:00, ABC
Prediction: Michigan
(23) Memphis (5-0; 1-0) at Temple (4-1; 1-0)- 12:00, ESPN2: The newly ranked Tigers will fall into the trap here against an Owls team that is not bad.
Prediction: Temple
Maryland (3-2; 1-1) at Purdue (1-4; 0-2)- 12:00, BTN
Prediction: Purdue
Mississippi State (3-2; 1-1) at Tennessee (1-4; 0-2)- 12:00, SECN
Prediction: Tennessee
Rutgers (1-4; 0-3) at Indiana (3-2; 0-2)- 12:00, BTN

Prediction: Western Michigan
Toledo (4-1; 1-0) at Bowling Green (1-4; 0-1)- 12:00
Prediction: Toledo
Georgia Tech (1-4; 0-2) at Duke (3-2; 1-1)- 12:30, ACCN

Prediction: Eastern Michigan
Old Dominion (1-4; 0-1) at Marshall (2-3; 0-1)- 2:30
Prediction: Marshall
New Mexico State (0-6) at Central Michigan (3-3; 2-1)- 3:00, ESPN3
Prediction: Central Michigan
(1) Alabama (5-0; 2-0) at (24) Texas A&M (3-2; 1-1)- 3:30, CBS: This should be a game where we see a lot of points, but the Tide should roll here against an inferior opponent.
Prediction: Alabama
Florida State (3-2; 2-1) at (2) Clemson (5-0; 3-0)- 3:30, ABC: This rivalry really has been one-sided lately and I feel that there's a chance the Noles hang around for a few quarters, but the Tigers pull away late.
Prediction: Clemson
Michigan State (4-2; 2-1) at (8) Wisconsin (5-0; 2-0)- 3:30, BTN: I think this will be a more competitive game than the experts think, but the Badgers will come out on top.
Prediction: Wisconsin
Washington State (3-2; 0-2) at (18) Arizona State (4-1; 1-1)- 3:30, Pac-12N: The Cougars are due for a good performance and their offense will be the best unit on the field here.
Prediction: Washington State
(25) Cincinnati (4-1; 1-0) at Houston (2-3; 0-1) 3:30, ESPN2: After the great upset win over the UCF Knights, I think the Bearcats are due for a letdown and the Cougars get the upset win.
Prediction: Houston
BYU (2-3) at South Florida (2-3; 1-1)- 3:30
Prediction: BYU
Kent State (2-3; 1-0) at Akron (0-5; 0-1)- 3:30, ESPN3
Prediction: Kent State
Northern Illinois (1-4; 0-1) at Ohio (2-3; 1-0)- 3:30, ESPN+
Prediction: Ohio

Prediction: Tulane
Texas Tech (3-2; 1-1) at (22) Baylor (5-0; 2-0)- 4:00: The Red Raiders don't have their starting quarterback, but I do think they can be competitive here against a newly ranked Bears team.
Prediction: Baylor
San Jose State (3-2; 1-1) at Nevada (3-2; 0-1)- 4:00
Prediction: Nevada
UNLV (1-4; 0-2) at Vanderbilt (1-4; 0-3)- 4:00, SECN: I do think the Rebels can hang around here, but the Commodores will pull away late.
Prediction: Vanderbilt
Iowa State (3-2; 1-1) at West Virginia (3-2; 1-1)- 4:00, ESPN: This game is one I think may be closer than the experts think, but the Cyclones will prevail.
Prediction: Iowa State
Rhode Island (1-4; 0-3) at Virginia Tech (3-2; 1-2)- 4:00, ACCN
Prediction: Virginia Tech
Middle Tennessee (2-3; 1-0) at FAU (3-2; 1-0)- 4:00, ESPN+

Prediction: UAB
Army (3-2) at WKU (3-2; 3-0)- 7:00
Prediction: WKU
Massachusetts (1-5) at Louisiana Tech (4-1; 2-0)- 7:00, ESPN3
Prediction: Louisiana Tech
North Texas (2-3; 1-0) at Southern Miss (3-2; 1-0)- 7:00
Prediction: Southern Miss
Fresno State (2-2; 0-0) at Air Force (3-2; 1-1)- 7:00, CBSSN
Prediction: Fresno State
Ole Miss (3-3; 2-1) at Missouri (4-1; 1-0)- 7:00, SECN

Prediction: Charlotte
USC (3-2; 2-1) at (9) Notre Dame (4-1)- 7:30, NBC: This Trojans team is a team that is good offensively, but I don't love the spot on the road in South Bend.
Prediction: Notre Dame
(10) Penn State (5-0; 2-0) at (17) Iowa (4-1; 1-1)- 7:30, ABC: The Hawkeyes always have upset home wins in them, this is one of them.
Prediction: Iowa
Louisville (3-2; 1-1) at (19) Wake Forest (5-0; 1-0)- 7:30, ACCN: The newly ranked Demon Deacons could be in for a game here against a Cardinals team that is much better than a season ago.
Prediction: Wake Forest
Nebraska (4-2; 2-1) at Minnesota (5-0; 2-0)- 7:30, BTN: I think the Gophers are the most fraudulent unbeaten team in the country, but they will get a win here over a vastly overrated Cornhuskers team.
Prediction: Minnesota
Arkansas (2-3; 0-2) at Kentucky (2-3; 0-3)- 7:30, SECN
Prediction: Kentucky
Navy (3-1; 1-1) at Tulsa (2-3; 0-1)- 7:30, ESPNU
Prediction: Tulsa
(7) Florida (6-0; 3-0) at (5) LSU (5-0; 1-0)- 8:00, ESPN: This is a big game for both these teams. The best player on the field here will be Heisman candidate Joe Burrow as he'll lead the Tigers to a big time win with GameDay on hand.
Prediction: LSU
(15) Utah (4-1; 1-1) at Oregon State (2-3; 1-1)- 8:00, Pac-12N
Prediction: Utah
Hawaii (4-1; 1-0) at (14) Boise State (5-0; 2-0)- 10:15, ESPN2: There's people that like the Rainbow Warriors here, I'm not one of them. Give me the Broncos on the blue turf.
Prediction: Boise State

Prediction: San Diego State
Washington (4-2; 1-2) at Arizona (4-1; 2-0)- 11:00, Pac-12N: Yes, I get it this could be a trap game for the Huskies, but I do think they get it done here against a Wildcats team that's defense is the worst unit on the field.
Prediction: Washington
