[8] Georgia [6-1, 3-1] vs [6] Florida [7-1, 4-1] in Jacksonville, FL

TV: CBS

Thoughts: This is a key game in the SEC East Division. Georgia is 5-3 in the last 8 games vs Florida. Georgia is averaging 36 ppg while allowing just 10.5 ppg this season. Jake Fromm has thrown for 1,406 yards with 9 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions this season. They got an impressive win at home vs a ranked Notre Dame team. Florida is averaging 32.5 ppg while allowing just 14 ppg this season. Kyle Pitts has 35 catches for 391 yards with 4 touchdowns this season. Florida has a big win over Auburn already this year at home.

Prediction: Florida wins 34-27

[7] Oregon [7-1, 5-0] at USC [5-3, 4-1]

TV: FOX

Time: 8:00 PM ET/7:00 PM CT

Thoughts: USC has been great at home this season. They are 4-0 at home this season. USC is averaging 36.7 ppg while allowing 20 ppg this season at home while winning by an average of 16.7 ppg. USC has a head-to-head win against Utah so this is big game for USC. Oregon has a big lead in the PAC-12 North Division. This will be the toughest game Oregon will have down the stretch.

Upset: USC wins 38-31

[9] Utah [7-1, 4-1] at Washington [5-3, 2-3]

TV: FOX

Time: 4:00 PM ET/3:00 PM CT

Thoughts: Utah is also on upset alert as they travel to Washington. Washington has won 4 straight games vs Utah. Utah is averaging 33.1 ppg while allowing just 10.2 ppg this season. Washington is averaging 35.7 ppg this season. This is easily the best offense Utah has faced this season. Jacob Eason is the best Quarter-Back Utah would had faced this year. I like Washington to pull the upset at home.

Upset: Washington wins 37-31

Ole Miss [3-5, 2-3] at [11] Auburn [6-2, 3-2]

TV: ESPN

Time: 7:00 PM ET/6:00 PM CT

Prediction: Auburn wins 59-10

[14] Michigan [6-2, 3-2] at Maryland [3-5, 1-4]

TV: ABC

Time: 12:00 PM ET/11:00 AM CT

Thoughts: This is a classic trap game for Michigan. They beat Notre Dame last week and play Michigan State next week. Maryland is desperate as they have lost 5 out of their last 6 after a 2-0 start. Michigan finally got a big time win last week against Notre Dame and they play in-state rival Michigan State. Maryland could be prime for an upset against Michigan. Their season is on the line because if they lost this game they will go to 3-7 next week because they play at Ohio State.

Upset: Maryland wins 27-24

[15] SMU [8-0, 4-0] at [24] Memphis [7-1, 3-1]

TV: ABC

Time: 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT

Thoughts: This is a big test for SMU this season. SMU is averaging 43 ppg while allowing 27.7 ppg this season. They are winning by an average of 15.2 ppg this season. Shane Buechele has been really good this year. He has thrown for 2,325 yards with 20 touchdowns and 7 interceptions this season. This will be the best defense he's faced in Memphis. Memphis has allowed 23 ppg while scoring 39.5 ppg this season. If SMU can win this game then they will be lock for a New Year's Six Bowl game.

Prediction: SMU wins 37-34

Virginia Tech [5-2] at [16] Notre Dame [5-2]

TV: NBC

Time: 2:30 PM ET/1:30 PM CT

Prediction: Notre Dame wins 38-14

[17] Cincinnati [6-1, 3-0] at East Carolina [3-5, 0-4]

[22] Kansas State [5-2, 2-2] at Kansas [3-5, 1-4]

TV: FS1

Time: 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT

Thoughts: Les Miles has done a good job turning Kansas around this year. They got wins against Boston College and Texas Tech this year. Kansas almost on a road game at Texas this year. Kansas is averaging 27.7 ppg, but allowing 32.7 ppg this season. Kansas State is 1-1 on the road this year. This is also a trap game for Kansas State has they upset Oklahoma last week and have a road game at Texas next week.

Upset: Kansas wins 34-31

Prediction: Boston College wins 35-17

Miami Fla [4-4, 2-3] at Florida State [4-4, 3-3]

TV: ABC

Time: 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT

Thoughts: Miami has won the last 2 meeting after losing 6 straight to Florida State. This is a rivalry regardless of the records of both teams. This will be a good game between both teams. Florida State is 3-2 in their last 5 games after a 1-2 start. They are averaging 27 ppg in the last 5 games so their offense has been better. Miami Fla is 4-2 in their last 6 games after a 0-2 start. They are averaging 28.1 ppg while allowing just 17.1 ppg in the last 6 games. I like Florida State in this game because they are at home.

Prediction: Florida State wins 23-17

Virginia [5-3, 3-2] at North Carolina [4-4, 3-2]

TV: ACC Network

Time: 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT

Thoughts: This is a key game in the ACC Coastal Division. North Carolina is 3-2 at home this year. They are averaging 24.6 ppg while allowing 23.4 ppg at home this season. Virginia is 1-3 in their last 4 games after a 4-0 start. They are averaging 24.5 ppg while allowing 23.4 ppg in their last 4 games. Virginia has won the last 2 games vs North Carolina, but they are heading downwards in this season.

Prediction: North Carolina wins 38-24

Big 12

TCU [4-3, 2-2] at Oklahoma State [5-3, 2-3]

TV: ESPN

Time: 3:30 PM ET/2:30 PM CT

Thoughts: Oklahoma State is averaging 37.5 ppg, but allowing 29.6 ppg this season. Chuba Hubbard is the star of the Oklahoma State offense. He has rushed for 1,381 yards with 16 touchdowns this season. TCU is 1-2 on the road this year. They are averaging 25 ppg, but allowing 28.6 ppg on the road. This is an even match-up since TCU joined the Big 12 in 2012. Oklahoma State is 4-3 vs TCU since they joined the Big 12.
