Akron vs. Toledo (ESPN2, 7:00)
Pick: Toledo
Thursday, November 22
TCU vs. (18) Texas (ESPN, 7:30)
TCU will come out swinging after the bye but I'll take the Longhorns.
Pick: Texas
Friday, November 23
Syracuse vs. Temple (ESPN2, 11:00 am)
Montel Harris will keep Temple close but the Orange are hot right now.
Pick: Syracuse
Ohio vs. (23) Kent State (ESPN2, 11:00 am)
What happened to Ohio? It seemed just so recently they were undefeated.
Pick: Kent State
(17) Nebraska vs. Iowa (ABC, 12:00)
Iowa sucks.
Pick: Nebraska
(24) Northern Illinois vs. Eastern Michigan (ESPN3, 1:00)
Pick: Northern Illinois
Marshall vs. East Carolina (CBS Sports Network, 2:00)
Pick: Marshall
(8) LSU vs. Arkansas (CBS, 2:30)
John L. Smith will go out with a bang, but not in a good way.
Pick: LSU
Utah vs. Colorado (FX, 3:00)
Pick: Utah
West Virginia vs. Iowa State (ABC, 3:30)
It has really hit the fan with the Mountaineers and it will continue this week in Ames.
Pick: West Virginia
Washington vs. Washington State (FOX, 3:30)
Pick: Washington
South Florida vs. Cincinnati (ESPN, 7:00)
Pick: Cincinnati

Good quarterback matchup but I like RichRod and co.
Pick: Arizona
Saturday, November 24
(20) Michigan vs. (4) Ohio State (ABC, 12:00)
I'll pick against the Buckeyes again. I love what the Wolverines are doing with Devin Gardner on offense and their defense is pretty solid.
Pick: Michigan
Georgia Tech vs. (3) Georgia (ESPN, 12:00)
You know, they may be going bowling, but the Yellow Jackets really are not that good.
Pick: Georgia
(21) Rutgers vs. Pittsburgh (ESPN2, 12:00)
Pick: Rutgers
Virginia vs. Virginia Tech (ESPNU, 12:00)
Didn't think it would come to this to become bowl eligible for the Hokies but alas.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Illinois vs. Northwestern (BTN, 12:00)
Pick: Northwestern
Indiana vs. Purdue (BTN, 12:00)
Pick: Purdue
Tulsa vs. SMU (FX, 12:00)
Expect a lot of passing yards, but SMU really is not that good, unfortunately.
Pick: Tulsa
UAB vs. UCF (FSN, 12:00)
Pick: UCF
UConn vs. (19) Louisville (Big East Network, 12:00)
Pick: Louisville
Kentucky vs. Tennessee (SEC Network, 12:00)
You know, I'd love to pick against Tennessee since Dooley finally got the axe, but Kentucky is just so bad...
Pick: Tennessee
Miami (FL) vs. Duke (ACC Network, 12:30)
Certainly Duke is Duke, they're on TV more than Leave It to Beaver reruns. I like the Canes to get to Charlotte.
Pick: Miami (FL)
North Texas vs. Western Kentucky (Sun Belt Network, 1:00)
Pick: Western Kentucky
Baylor vs. Texas Tech (FOX, 2:30)
Tech's performance last week was pretty disappointing. And if the Baylor have finally realized how to play defense...
Pick: Baylor
(5) Oregon vs. (16) Oregon State (Pac-12 Network, 3:00)
The Beavers are a very solid club with Oregon hungry for a win, they'll get it.
Pick: Oregon
Maryland vs. North Carolina (FSN regional, 3:00)
Pick: North Carolina
Boston College vs. N.C. State (ESPN3, 3:00)
Pick: N.C. State
Idaho vs. (25) Utah State (ESPN+, 3:00)
The Aggies have not been ranked since '78. Cool beans.
Pick: Utah State
(6) Florida vs. (10) Florida State (ABC, 3:30)
Looking at this matchup, I really think the Seminoles are much better. More varied offense and just as good on defense. Should be a fun one.
Pick: Florida State
Auburn vs. (2) Alabama (CBS, 3:30)
Auburn, hahahaha.
Pick: Alabama
(14) Oklahoma vs. (22) Oklahoma State (ESPN, 3:30)
I was very impressed with what I saw from the Cowboys against Texas Tech offensively but I think they lack the defensive speed to hang around with Oklahoma.
Pick: Oklahoma
Wisconsin vs. Penn State (ESPN2, 3:30)
I think the Badgers will pound the rock with Montee Ball and keep it out of Matt McGloin's hands.
Pick: Wisconsin
Vanderbilt vs. Wake Forest (ESPNU, 3:30)
I like the Demon Deacons in an upset to become bowl eligible.
Pick: Wake Forest
Air Force vs. Fresno State (NBC Sports Network, 3:30)
Fresno is awesome on offense and the Force is a little too sloppy for my tastes.
Pick: Fresno State
Michigan State vs. Minnesota (BTN, 3:30)
Pick: Michigan State
Tulane vs. Houston (FSN, 3:30)
Pick: Houston
BYU vs. New Mexico State (ESPN3, 3:30)
Pick: BYU
Troy vs. Middle Tennessee (ESPN3, 3:30)
Look for Troy to get an upset and become bowl eligible.
Pick: Troy
San Diego State vs. Wyoming (Root Sports Rocky Mountain, 4:00)
Pick: San Diego State
Southern Miss vs. Memphis (CSS, 4:30)
This is the last chance for the Golden Eagles to get their first win. Once again, I think they'll get it this week.
Pick: Southern Miss
South Alabama vs. Louisiana-Lafayette (Cox-Louisiana, 5:00)
Pick: Lousiana-Lafayette
(11) Stanford vs. (15) UCLA (FOX, 6:30)
This is a tough one, friends, but I have to lean with the Cardinal after that impressive upset road win against Oregon.
Pick: Stanford
(13) South Carolina vs. (12) Clemson (ESPN, 7:00)
South Carolina looked pretty inconsistent against Wofford and they still look without an element with Marcus Lattimore out. Give me the Tigers.
Pick: Clemson
Missouri vs. (9) Texas A&M (ESPN2, 7:00)
Mizzou needs this to go bowling, but it won't happen.
Pick: Texas A&M
(25) Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss (ESPNU, 7:00)
You know, Hugh Freeze has done great work thus far in Oxford and has a bright future ahead of him. That future, is not now.
Pick: Mississippi State
New Mexico vs. Colorado State (Root Sports Rock Mountain, 7:00)
Pick: Colorado State
Rice vs. UTEP (FOX College Sports, 7:00)
Pick: Rice
(1) Notre Dame vs. USC (ABC, 12:00)
You know I would consider the Trojans if I was certain Matt Barkley was going to play. But since I think he will ultimately sit out, and factoring in that USC cannot stop anybody on defense, I think Notre Dame is headed for Miami Gardens.
Pick: Notre Dame
Louisiana Tech vs. San Jose State (ESPN2, 10:30)
San Jose State is a good club, but they don't have the offensive firepower that the Bulldogs have.
Pick: San Jose State
UNLV vs. Hawaii (Pay-Per-View, 11:00)
Pick: UNLV
