Akron (0-10; 0-6) at Miami-Ohio (6-4; 5-1)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: Miami-Ohio
Toledo (6-4; 3-3) at Buffalo (5-5; 5-5)- 7:30, ESPN2

Colorado State (4-6; 3-3) at Wyoming (6-3; 3-3)- 9:30, ESPN2
Pick: Wyoming
Saturday, November 23rd
(8) Penn State (8-1; 6-1) at (2) Ohio State (10-0; 7-0)- 12:00, FOX: This is a huge game with both ESPN's College GameDay and FOX's Big Noon shows on hand. I do think the Buckeyes are the better team, but despite injuries for the Nittany Lions, they'll hang around and keep this close.
Pick: Ohio State
Western Carolina (3-8; 2-6) at (5) Alabama (9-1; 6-1)- 12:00, ESPN
Pick: Alabama
(10) Minnesota (9-1; 6-1) at Northwestern (0-7; 2-8)- 12:00, ABC

Pick: Auburn
Illinois (6-4; 4-3) at Iowa (7-3; 4-3)- 12:00, BTN
Pick: Iowa
(21) Oklahoma State (7-3, 4-3) at West Virginia (4-6; 2-5)- 12:00, ESPN2: This is a trap game for the Cowboys, who could very well be looking ahead to Bedlam next weekend. Mountaineers pull off the home upset.
Pick: West Virginia
BYU (6-4) at Massachusetts (1-10)- 12:00
Pick: Massachusetts
UCF (7-3; 4-2) at Tulane (6-4; 3-3)- 12:00, CBSSN
Pick: Tulane
Ball State (4-6; 3-3) at Kent State (4-6; 3-3)- 12:00, ESPN+

Pick: Michigan State
South Alabama (1-9; 0-6) at Georgia State (6-4; 3-3)- 2:00, ESPN+

Air Force (8-2; 5-1) at New Mexico (2-8; 0-6)- 2:00, ESPN3
Pick: Air Force
Boston College (5-5; 3-4) at (16) Notre Dame (8-2)- 2:30, NBC
Pick: Notre Dame
Texas State (3-7; 2-4) at (24) Appalachian State (9-1; 6-1)- 2:30, ESPN+
Pick: Appalachian State
Georgia Southern (6-4; 3-3) at Arkansas State (6-4; 4-2)- 3:00, ESPN+
Pick: Arkansas State
Texas A&M (7-3; 4-2) at (4) Georgia (9-1; 6-1)- 3:30, CBS: The Aggies have had the toughest schedule in the country and are a team that is capable of getting up for a game like this, but the pressure is on the Bulldogs to show the committee that they're the team people perceived them to be in the preseason.
Pick: Georgia
Texas (6-4; 4-3) at (14) Baylor (9-1; 6-1)- 3:30, FS1: The Bears blew a huge lead last week against the Sooners, so there is hangover potential. I do think the Bears bounce back here and win, but it's a close call.
Pick: Baylor
(13) Michigan (8-2; 5-2) at Indiana (7-3; 4-3)- 3:30, ESPN: The Hoosiers will do their typical thing where they make it interesting and than find a way to lose the game.
Pick: Michigan
(25) SMU (9-1; 5-1) at Navy (7-2; 5-1)- 3:30, CBSSN: This should be a fun and high scoring affair. I'm going to take the Midshipmen at home here to get a bounce back win.
Pick: Navy
Mercer (4-7; 4-5) at North Carolina (4-6; 3-4)- 3:30, ACCN
Pick: North Carolina
Pittsburgh (7-3; 4-2) at Virginia Tech (7-3; 4-2)- 3:30, ESPN2
Pick: Virginia Tech
UCLA (4-6; 4-3) at (23) USC (7-4; 4-3)- 3:30, ABC: The Bruins ran all over the Trojans last season, but this year the Trojans are much better than last season and I expect them to win this going away.
Pick: USC
Marshall (7-3; 5-1) at Charlotte (5-5; 3-3)- 3:30
Pick: Charlotte
Louisiana Tech (8-2; 5-1) at UAB (7-3; 4-2)- 3:30, ESPN+
Pick: UAB
North Texas (4-6; 3-3) at Rice (1-9; 1-5)- 3:30, NFL
Pick: North Texas
WKU (6-4; 4-2) at Southern Miss (7-3; 5-1)- 3:30

Pick: Maryland
East Tennessee State (3-8; 1-7) at Vanderbilt (2-8; 1-6)- 3:30, SECN
Pick: Vanderbilt
UT-Martin (7-4; 6-2) at Kentucky (5-5; 3-3)- 3:30, SECN
Pick: Kentucky
Purdue (4-6; 3-4) at (12) Wisconsin (8-2; 5-2)- 3:30, FOX
Pick: Wisconsin
(18) Memphis (9-1; 5-1) at South Florida (4-6; 3-4)- 4:00, ESPNU: This feels like a spot where the Tigers are right to be picked off and I think that the Bulls play some spoiler and help out the Group Of 5 mix and pull off the upset.
Pick: South Florida
UTEP (1-9; 0-7) at New Mexico State (1-9)- 4:00
Pick: New Mexico State
California (5-5; 2-5) at Stanford (4-6; 3-5)- 4:00, Pac-12

Pick: LSU
Temple (7-3; 4-2) at (19) Cincinnati (9-1; 6-0)- 7:00, ESPN2: I expect this game to be much closer than people expect. Bearcats win it close.
Pick: Cincinnati
Kansas State (6-4; 3-4) at Texas Tech (4-6; 2-5)- 7:00, FS1
Pick: Texas Tech
Miami (6-4; 4-3) at FIU (5-5; 3-4)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: Miami
(6) Oregon (9-1; 6-0) at Arizona State (5-5; 2-5)- 7:30, ABC: This game intrigues me a lot. The Ducks have been playing great football of late and part of me thinks they could be picked off at some point and I believe this is the spot. Herm Edwards and company pull off another big upset.
Pick: Arizona State
Houston (3-7; 1-5) at Tulsa (3-7; 1-5)- 7:30, ESPNU
Pick: Tulsa
Abilene Christian (5-6; 4-5) at Mississippi State (4-6; 2-5)- 7:30, SECN

Pick: Washington
(20) Boise State (9-1; 6-0) at Utah State (6-4; 5-1)- 10:30, CBSSN: I think the Aggies have a chance for the upset, but they'll fall short.
Pick: Boise State
Nevada (6-4; 3-3) at Fresno State (4-6; 2-4)- 10:30, ESPN2
Pick: Fresno State
San Diego State (8-2; 5-2) at Hawaii (7-4; 4-3)- 11:00
