Georgia-Auburn is always crazy no matter how good the teams are see: like each of the last three seasons. The winner of Troy-App State will have a leg up on the conference race as each are undefeated along with Arkansas State, whereas, Georgia State-ULM is a battle to not slip to the bottom of the conference. Louisiana Tech-UTSA is a battle for the top of the West division in Conference USA, if UTSA wins they tie La Tech for the division lead, if La Tech wins they take a two game lead on UTSA and at worst a game and a half on the entire division. Lastly, we have Texas-West Virginia a game in which, if nothing else, you should take the points.

A quartet of top ten teams get a respite this week, with Louisville getting the toughest test, FSU getting the toughest unit (BC’s defense), Bama getting Miss State off a big upset of A&M this week, and Wisconsin getting an Illinois team that has been better than expected, but nothing special.

Bama shows up here too and it’s a case of being the best team and playing a team with a positive rating. Washington passed their let down look ahead sandwich test and receives a USC team that’s good not special. Clemson gets a feisty Pitt team that hasn’t played anyone not close this season. Everything I said about Georgia-Auburn up top applies here as well. Iowa-Michigan will be an exceedingly B1G game.

As for the worst of the week, well… Yeah I got nothing outside of Georgia State-ULM being close and continuing to watch the growth of Buffalo.

So there we have the deep dive for Week 10, we get games Tuesday thru Saturday again and we only have four weeks of games left before the long winter (Spring/Summer) of our discontent.
