ULM at Arkansas State, 6:00 pm ESPNU, I'm sure this game will fly under the radar with a top ten ACC team playing at practically the same time but this should be a really exciting Sun Belt match-up. ULM is a known commodity around the country after it's three week giant killer road show barnburned through the south. Arkansas State is a team that has grown into a Gus Malzahn offense this season and with identical 4-1 conference records we should see some clarification atop the SunBeast. Winner: ULM ATS: ULM +7
#10 Florida State at Virginia Tech, 6:30 pm ESPN, Virginia Tech has been one of, if not, the biggest disappointments in the country this season and I see no reason why that shouldn't continue with the Seminoles coming to town. Florida State has rebounded well against inferior competition since it's loss to NC State, but I don't think we'll see them truly tested until their rivalry game with the Gators. Winner: Florida State ATS: Florida State -13.5

Arkansas at #8 South Carolina, 11:00 am CBS, This game had a ton of intrigue at the beginning of the year but now it's a bit watered down. Arkansas has been a ghost of it's former self and John L. Smith has well coached like John L. Smith. South Carolina lost stud running back Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw has reverted towards his former self as the season has progressed. Winner: South Carolina ATS: South Carolina -13.5
#9 Louisville at Syracuse, 11:00 am ABC, Louisville heads to the worlds largest Air Conditioner and looks to continue it' surprise undefeated season. Syracuse on the other hand has this years in a losing effort quarterback in Nassib. Winner: Louisville ATS: Syracuse +2
Iowa State at #17 Texas, 11:00 am LHN, Texas comes into this Iowa State game off a really good victory over Texas Tech. I think Texas handles this game but it's really good. Winner: Texas ATS: Iowa State +10
Kansas at #22 Texas Tech, 11:00 am, You all know how I feel about Kansas and Charlie Weis, so yeah Texas Tech. Winner: Texas Tech ATS: Texas Tech -24.5
Army at #23 Rutgers, 11:00 am ESPNU, Army visits Rutgers and although Army has played better this year I think Rutgers has too much firepower for the Black Knights to compete with. Winner: Rutgers ATS: Army +17
#24 Northwestern at Michigan, 11:00 am ESPN, Northwestern faces a Michigan team that controlled it's own destiny before a loss at the hands of the Cornhuskers which leaves them in a precarious spot. One more slip up and their chances of making the Big Ten Title game approach zero and means this season was a major disappointment in Ann Arbor. Winner: Michigan ATS: Northwestern +10
Wisconsin at Indiana, 11:00 am ESPN2, A defacto Leaders division semifinal no one saw coming in the pre-season makes for the first marquee game for Indiana in a while. Wisconsin on the other hand has named a starter to the team only and looks to get some kind of QB play to make this offense tick. Should be interesting if nothing else in Bloomington this weekend. Winner: Wisconsin ATS: Wisconsin -7
Louisiana-Lafayette at #6 Florida, 11:21 am SEC Network, I doubt Louisiana-Lafayette got any of ULM's upset magic which is a shame because Florida has a lot of, wait what just happened in them. Winner: Florida ATS: Louisiana-Lafayette +27
#11 Oregon State at #14 Stanford, 2:00 pm FOX, Oregon State heads to Stanford and both teams are starting their opening day backups. Stanford's gives them another dimension in the running game, where as, Oregon State's QB has played admirably during the absence of Mannion. I think Oregon State continues to shock all of us. Winner: Oregon State ATS: Oregon State +4.5
Arizona State at #19 USC, 2:00 pm Pac-12 Net, USC welcomes Arizona State a week after giving up multiple school records to the Oregon offense last week. As long as USC can man up this game won't be close. Winner: USC ATS: USC -9
#15 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama, 2:30 pm CBS, In what may be the most intriguing match-up of the week Texas A&M and Johnny Football travel to Tuscaloosa in a game not many thought would be meaningful this season. Alabama is coming off a slugfest against LSU and may be a bit sluggish but should be able to contain at least some of that Johnny Football magic. Winner: Alabama ATS: Texas A&M +13.5
Baylor at #12 Oklahoma, 2:30 pm, Oklahoma touchdown, Oklahoma Touchdown,... ETC. Winner: Oklahoma ATS: Oklahoma -21
Maryland at #13 Clemson, 2:30 pm ESPNU, Yeah, linebacker at QB that is all. Winner: Clemson ATS: Clemson -31
Penn State at #16 Nebraska, 2:30 pm ABC/ESPN2, I'm not sure what to think about this game, Nebraska has had to slug out the last four weeks, but Penn State has had to slug out the year. I think Nebraska wins another close one. Winner: Nebraska ATS: Penn State +9
West Virginia at Oklahoma State, 2:30 pm ABC/ESPN2, Watch this game you'll be happy if you like points. Shootout, take the points. Winner: West Virginia ATS: West Virginia +9.5
#2 Kansas State at TCU, 6:00 pm FOX, Hopefully Colin Klein plays but even if he doesn't I think Kansas State wins this game. Winner: Kansas State ATS: Kansas State -7
#5 Georgia at Auburn, 6:00 pm ESPN2, Auburn football. (It's alright to laugh) Winner: Georgia ATS: Georgia -15
#21 Mississippi State at #7 LSU, 6:00 pm ESPN, Two weeks ago this looked to be a challenge but MSU has given up 31 in back to back weeks and scored a total of 20 points. It'll be close early but that's about it. Winner: LSU ATS: LSU -14.5
#20 Louisiana Tech at Texas State, 6:00 pm LHN, La Tech will have this wrapped up by the end of the first half. Winner: La Tech ATS: La Tech -20
#4 Notre Dame at Boston College, 7:00 pm ABC, I'm gonna lump these three game together, Oregon will have won by mid second quarter, Notre Dame by mid third and UCLA by mid third. Winner: Notre Dame ATS: Notre Dame -18.5
#3 Oregon at California, 9:30 pm ESPN, Winner: Oregon ATS: Oregon -28.5
#18 UCLA at Washington State, 9:30 pm ESPN2, Winner: UCLA ATS: UCLA -15
