AP rankings
Wednesday, November 14
Ohio vs. Ball State (ESPNU, 8:00)
Nothing like some Maction. I think the Bobcats get back on track and win in Muncie.
Pick: Ohio
Toledo vs. Northern Illinois (ESPN2, 9:00)
This should be the game of the year in the MAC. I love both of these teams but I think with Toledo showing some chinks in the armor last week against Ball State that the edge goes to NIU.
Pick: Northern Illinois
Thursday, November 15
North Carolina vs. Virginia (ESPN, 7:30)
Pick: North Carolina
Friday, November 16
FIU vs. FAU (ESPNU, 8:00)
Here's a piece of trivia for you, do you why this game is called the Shula Bowl?
Pick: FAU
Hawaii vs. Air Force (ESPN2, 9:30)
Pick: Air Force
Saturday, November 17
Iowa vs. (23) Michigan (ESPN, 12:00)
Doesn't really seem to matter who is under center for the Maize and Blue.
Pick: Michigan
Northwestern vs. Michigan State (ESPN2, 12:00)
Sparty's lack of offensive pop will hurt them once again and they will have to wait one more week to get bowl eligible.
Pick: Northwestern
(10) Florida State vs. Maryland (ESPNU, 12:00)
So Maryland is playing a linebacker at quarterback and his name is Petty. You could throw Richard Petty under center and they still won't win this week.
Pick: Florida State
Arkansas vs. Mississippi State (SEC Network, 12:00)
Pick: Mississippi State
Western Carolina vs. (4) Alabama (SEC Network, 12:00)
Pick: Alabama
Indiana vs. Penn State (BTN, 12:00)
You know, I'd love for Indiana to get to a bowl, but it ain't gonna happen.
Pick: Penn State
(22) Rutgers vs. Cincinnati (Big East Network, 12:00)
Rutgers will ride a good running game and a solid defense to keep their BCS hopes alive.
Pick: Rutgers
UCF vs. Tulsa (FSN, 12:00)
A preview of the C-USA Championship Game, if you will.
Pick: Tulsa
Temple vs. Army (CBS Sports Network, 12:00)
Pick: Temple
(25) Kent State vs. Bowling Green (ESPN+, 12:00)
Hey, major props to Darren Hazell and the Golden Flashes, who are ranked for the first time since the Don James era in 1973.
Pick: Kent State
Houston vs. Marshall (CSS, 12:00)
Pick: Houston
Virginia Tech vs. Boston College (ACC Network, 12:30)
Pick: Virginia Tech
Jacksonville State vs. (7) Florida (Pay-per-view, 1:00)
Pick: Florida
Wofford vs. South Carolina (Pay-per-view, 1:00)
Pick: South Carolina
Washington vs. Colorado (FX, 1:30)
Pick: Washington
Georgia Southern vs. Georgia (WSB, 1:30)
Pick: Georgia
Alabama A&M vs. Auburn (Pay-per-view, 2:00)
Pick: Auburn
(21) USC vs. (17) UCLA (FOX, 3:00)
The Rose Bowl will be popping this Saturday with these two intracity rivals. I like USC because I have concerns about UCLA and their secondary.
Pick: USC
South Florida vs. Miami (FL) (FSN regional, 3:00)
Pick: Miami (FL)
Washington State vs. Arizona State (Pac-12 Network, 3:00)
Pick: Arizona State
Ole Miss vs. (8) LSU (CBS, 3:30)
Ole Miss has been solid this year and an upset is not that crazy, but they will be overmatched in Baton Rouge.
Pick: LSU
(6) Ohio State vs. Wisconsin (ABC/ESPN2, 3:30)
I'm feeling the upset. Montee Ball is rolling right now and the Badgers will ride him to a big win over the Buckeyes.
Pick: Wisconsin
NC State vs. (11) Clemson (ABC/ESPN2, 3:30)
The Wolfpack do not have the athletes on defense to slow down this big-time Clemson attack.
Pick: Clemson
Wake Forest vs. (3) Notre Dame (NBC, 3:30)
Pick: Notre Dame
(23) Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State (FSN, 3:30)
The Red Raiders will give fits to whoever is under center for Oklahoma State.
Pick: Texas Tech
Minnesota vs. (16) Nebraska (BTN, 3:30)
I like what Minnesota and coach Jerry Kill this year, but they are a year away from having the talent to go into Lincoln and pull off an upset like this.
Pick: Nebraska
Purdue vs. Illinois (BTN, 3:30)
Pick: Purdue
Duke vs. Georgia Tech (ESPNU, 3:30)
The Yellow Jackets have gotten their option cranked up with two straight big wins, and I think they'll get a much needed win this week to get to bowl elgibility.
Pick: Georgia Tech
Texas State vs. Navy (CBS Sports Network, 3:30)
Pick: Navy
Colorado State vs. Boise State (NBC Sports Network, 3:30)
Pick: Boise State
SMU vs. Rice (CSS, 3:30)
Pick: SMU
East Carolina vs. Tulane (CST, 3:30)
Pick: East Carolina
Sam Houston State vs. (9) Texas A&M (Pay-per-view, 3:30)
Pick: Texas A&M
Nevada vs. New Mexico (Comcast-New Mexico, 3:30)
Pick: Nevada
Arkansas State vs. Troy (Troy Network, 3:30)
Pick: Arkansas State
Utah State vs. (19) Louisiana Tech (ESPN3, 4:00)
The biggest game this season in the WAC but Utah State doesn't have what it takes to slow down an awesome Bulldogs offense.
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Wyoming vs. UNLV (TWC Sportsnet, 4:00)
Pick: UNLV
UTSA vs. Idaho (KCWX, 5:00)
Pick: UTSA
(13) Oklahoma vs. West Virginia (FOX, 7:00)
The collapse will continue one more week for the Mountaineers as I have no confidence that they can upset the Sooners, even at home.
Pick: Oklahoma
Syracuse vs. Missouri (ESPNU, 7:00)
I think the Orange will be on a high after last week's upset blowout of Louisville and will be brought back to earth by the Tigers.
Pick: Missouri
Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt (ESPN2, 7:00)
With Derek Dooley out, I can't see the Vols putting anything into this one.
Pick: Vanderbilt
Iowa State vs. Kansas (FSN, 7:00)
You know, Kansas has been pretty plucky this season. They will fall short once again, though.
Pick: Iowa State
Western Kentucky vs. Louisiana-Lafayette (ESPN3, 7:00)
Big game for positioning in the Belt this week in the Swamp as both are still very much alive for the league crown. I have no idea how the Hilltoppers lost last week against FAU but I think they will end their losing streak this week.
Pick:
Samford vs. Kentucky (CSS, 7:30)
Pick: Kentucky
(14) Stanford vs. (1) Oregon (ABC, 8:00)
Stanford's defense will be game but their problems throwing the football will hinder their upset bid in Autzen.
Pick: Oregon
(2) Kansas State vs. Baylor (ESPN, 8:00)
You know, Baylor's defense is so bad, they would allow American to score 35 on them. And we don't even have a football team.
Pick: Kansas State
UTEP vs. Southern Miss (CBS Sports Network, 8:00)
I think that the Golden Eagles get their first victory this week.
Pick: Southern Miss
Arizona vs. Utah (ESPNU, 10:10)
Pick: Arizona
BYU vs. San Jose State (ESPN2, 10:30)
Pick: San Jose State
Cal vs. (15) Oregon State (Pac-12 Network, 10:30)
You know, it's a good thing for Mike Riley that Cal sucks.
Pick: Oregon State
