Wake Forest vs. Navy - My Pick = Wake Forest - This is a rematch of a game earlier this year that Navy won 24/17. I believe Wake Forest has more talent and will learn from their mistakes.

Colorado St vs. Fresno St. - My Pick = Fresno St. - Pat Hill's squad is very well coached and disciplined.

Memphis vs. South Florida -
Brigham Young vs. Arizona - My pick = BYU - Even though Arizona is a 3 point favorite in this game, I like BYU here. Just as talented and better fundamentals.

Southern Miss vs. Troy - My Pick = Troy

Boise State vs. TCU - My Pick = TCU - they actually have the defense to stop Boise State. This will be a very close game either way but I like TCU here.

Hawaii vs Notre Dame - My pick = Notre Dame - Yes, Hawaii is at home and will be up for this game and ND has had a very inconsistent/bad year yet again. The Irish are looking at this as redemption, a tribute to their seniors that they didn't get on senior day and momentum for next season all in one. They have more talent and an underrated defense.

Florida Atlantic vs Central Michigan - My pick = Central Michigan - They are the better team and should win here.

West Virginia vs. North Carolina - My pick = North Carolina - Both teams are so inconsistent. I wonder which North Carolina will show up. I also wonder which West Virginia will show up. If both show up, the edge goes to NC but either team could lay an egg.

Wisconsin vs. Florida St - My pick = FSU - FSU is a much better team than Wisconsin. They will be prepared for everything that comes their way on defense and will shut down Wisconsin.

Miami (FL) vs. California - My pick = California - My heart and brain tell me California has too much offense but I have this bad feeling Miami will make this a game and win one for their coach. I would still go with Cal.

Northern Illinois vs. Louisiana Tech - My pick = Northern Illinois - This is going to be a very close game that could go either way. Tech's pass defense is horrible and Northern Illinois will spread them out and take advantage.

North Carolina St vs. Rutgers - My pick = Rutgers - Sometimes you have to watch out when every stat category is in favor of one team but not here. Rutgers wins.

Missouri vs. Northwestern - My pick = Missouri - Their offense will be too much

Maryland vs. Nevada - My pick = Nevada - Better D and Better Offense

Western Michigan vs. Rice - My pick = Rice - Their offense is too explosive and will put up too many points for Western Michigan to keep up.

Oklahoma St. vs Oregon - My Pick = Oregon - This game will have a lot of points scored in my opinion. I originally went with OK State but my gut tells me Oregon will win the close one here.

Houston vs Air Force - My pick = Houston - Air Force will be able to run but they'll end up with field goals. Houston has the ability to pass and will get the big play.

Oregon St. vs Pittsburgh - My pick = Pittsburgh - A lot depends on the health of Oregon St. but I'll go with Pitt either way here.

Boston College vs. Vanderbilt - My pick = BC - Better on all sides of the ball.

Kansas vs. Minnesota - My pick = Kansas - They are too explosive.

LSU vs. Georgia Tech - My pick = GT - The real question should be, will Les Miles be under fire big time for this season?

South Carolina vs. Iowa - My pick = Iowa - They have won their last few games and will continue to play a nice all around game against an inconsistent offense.

Georgia vs Michigan St. - My Pick = Michigan St. - Every stat category says Georgia so watch out but I like MSU here because of their stud RB.

Nebraska vs. Clemson - My pick = Nebraska - Healthier and an up and coming team.

Mississippi/Texas Tech - My pick = Texas Tech - Leach wants a larger contract and his offense will be too much for Ole Miss.

Kentucky/East Carolina - East Carolina - ECU is the better squad overall and I will go with them because their run defense can shut down the one dimensional Kentucky team.

Buffalo vs. Connecticut - My pick = Buffalo. Buffalo might not be focused with their coach interviewing for most open positions out there but they are playing very well. Smart money is go with UCONN but I like Buffalo.

Ball St vs Tulsa - My pick = Ball St. - As long as their HC is actually coaching the game then they should be fine here.
