TCU at #16 Texas, 6:30 pm ESPN, TCU travels to Texas on rivalry weekend and will try to replace Texas A&M on the schedule and Texas has solidified that with a hex rally. I mean can we talk about the hilarity of that, TCU, a team that Texas wouldn't have even scoffed at last year needing its own hex rally. Winner: Texas ATS: Texas -7

Ohio at #23 Kent State, 10:00 am ESPNU, Ohio goes on the road this week and tries to stop the slide of their season that seems to have lost it's promise. They're going to have to stop Dri Archer if they are going to have any chance of leaving the season without a sour taste in his mouth. Winner: Kent State ATS: Ohio +10
#14 Nebraska at Iowa, 11:00 am ABC, Nebraska travels to Iowa where they should wrap up the 2012 Legends division crown. Iowa continues to pay unbelievable sums of money per win to Kirk Ferentz but they dug their own grave. Winner: Nebraska ATS: Nebraska -14.5
Marshall at East Carolina, 12:00 pm CBS Sports Net, If East Carolina is going to have a chance to win a conference championship they must beat Marshall this week. Marshall is a solid team but if East Carolina is what they think they are they should be able to win this game and put the pressure on UCF. Winner: East Carolina ATS: East Carolina -5.5
#7 LSU at Arkansas, 1:30 pm CBS, LSU travels to Arkansas where they can solidify their BCS resume. Arkansas can end the season long nightmare in college football. Winner: LSU ATS: LSU -12
#25 Washington at Washington State, 2:30 pm FOX, Washington State's season has gone from bad to worse and that was with tempered expectations. Washington has been one of the most eclectic teams in the country this season but that shouldn't hold them back in this season. Winner: Washington ATS: Washington -11.5
Arizona State at #24 Arizona, 9:00 pm ESPN, Arizona is the better team this year but next year should be a more interesting case study. Winner: Arizona ATS: Arizona -3
Rest to come soon

Georgia Tech at #3 Georgia, 11:00 am ESPN, Clean, Old Fashioned Hate is the moniker for this game between the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets but I can't shake the sneaking suspicion that this one will be a clean old fashioned butt-whooping. Winner: Georgia ATS: Georgia -14
#18 Rutgers at Pittsburgh, 11:00 am ESPN2, Rutgers visits Pittsburgh in a meaningless game for both teams as the only thing that matters for the Scarlet Knights is next weeks game with Louisville. I think Rutgers is by far the better team but this one looks like a trap. Winner: Rutgers ATS: Rutgers +2
#19 Michigan at Ohio State, 11:00 am ABC, This game will more than likely mean nothing for the Wolverines if Nebraska hangs on to their current lead over Iowa but that will just leave us with the usual hatred between these teams. Winner: Michigan ATS: Michigan +4
Connecticut at #20 Louisville, 11:00 am Big East Network, Louisville needs this game to have a win next week win the conference otherwise they've handed the golden egg to Rutgers. Winner: Louisville ATS: Louisville -10.5
UAB at UCF, 11:00 am, UCF will know by Friday night whether they must win to go to the conference championship game, either way UCF should win easily. Winner: UCF ATS: UAB +22
#5 Oregon at #15 Oregon State, 2:00 pm Pac-12 Network, We won't know what this game means until well after it has finished but Oregon must win this game to have any shot at the Rose Bowl or the BCS title game. A convincing win should allow them to pick up an at large berth but Oregon State is no slouch and should provide a challenge. Winner: Oregon ATS: Oregon State +10
Auburn at #2 Alabama, 2:30 pm CBS, I know it's the Iron Bowl but no, just no. Winner: Alabama ATS: Auburn +33
#4 Florida at #10 Florida State, 2:30 pm ABC, This one could, I state could, have national title implications but it will take a lot for that to happen. This should however be an entertaining game that teaches about where both team stand. Watch the line battle in this game, it should be a doozy. Winner: Florida ATS: Florida +7.5
#21 Oklahoma State at #13 Oklahoma, 2:30 pm ESPN, Bedlam goes back to Norman this year and Oklahoma must win to keep the pressure on Kansas State heading into the last game of the year in the Big XII. Oklahoma State has had growing pains on a young team but should be a stiff test at least for the Sooner defense. Winner: Oklahoma ATS: Oklahoma -6.5
Air Force at Fresno State, 2:30 pm NBC Sports Net, A win for Fresno and San Diego State in these game and a win for Boise next week makes for a convoluted situation in the MWC. I think it happens. Winner: Fresno State ATS: Air Force +17
San Diego State at Wyoming, 2:30 pm, Winner: San Diego State ATS: San Diego State -7
#8 Stanford at #17 UCLA, 5:30 pm FOX, UCLA welcomes the Cardinal to the Rose Bowl in what could be the first of two games between these teams or a match-up that allows Oregon to slip into the Pac-12 Title game. It hink it should be an interesting contest and a game Stanford needs to win. Winner: Stanford ATS: Stanford -2
Missouri at #9 Texas A&M, 6:00 pm ESPN2, The battle of the new guys will assuredly go to Texas A&M and Johnny Football. Winner: Texas A&M ATS: Missouri +22
#12 South Carolina at #11 Clemson, 6:00 ESPN, The battle for South Cacalaca (no idea how to spell that) should be interesting and exciting but I'm not sure Clemson has faced a defense quite like South Carolina's outside of FSU, but with the 'Cocks injuries I'm not sure it's going to matter. Winner: South Carolina ATS: South Carolina +4
#1 Notre Dame at USC, 7:00 pm ABC, Notre Dame heads to the Coliseum with Crystal in their eyes. When they arrive they will find a USC team that has been a letdown and is showing that depth shouldn't have been something to scoff at, at the start of the season. Winner: Notre Dame ATS: USC +6
