Top 25
(25) Army 31 North Texas 28
• If I knew for certain whether Army QB Bryson Daily was playing or not I might have a different prediction. Since I’m not sure I’m going to say the Black Knights stay undefeated but the Mean Green keep it close.
(24) Missouri 20 Oklahoma 17
• This game is hard to predict. Missouri hasn’t been as sharp as I thought they’d be and Oklahoma has got a rude awakening in the SEC. I believe Missouri is the better team and Brady Cook gets them a close win.
(23) Clemson 34 Virginia Tech 20
• Hokies QB Kyron Drones and RB Bhayshul Tuten both missed last weeks game vs Syracuse and both are currently listed as questionable. Even if both play I do not trust Brent Pry, his game management errors have been obvious and horrible. Speaking of game management errors last week Dabo had one as well when he decided to kick a XP to go down by 12 instead of a 2 point conversion that would’ve made it a 11 point deficit. Dabo has the better team, a team with depth and even though this game is in Blacksburg I believe Clemson wins by two TDs.
(21) Washington State 49 Utah State 17
• John Mateer and the Cougars will be too much for Utah State, I expect a blowout in this one.
Texas Tech 38 (20) Colorado 34
• The Red Raiders had a massive win last week vs Iowa State and they’ll look to do the same this week vs Colorado. The Buffaloes are coming off a bye week and Travis Hunter & Shedeur Sanders find themselves in the thick of the Heisman Conversation and I expect a big game from both. This game has potential to be high scoring and I’d expect it to be a close one but I’ll go with the upset.
(18) Pittsburgh 35 Virginia 28
• Pitt got blown out last week vs SMU but the Panthers are still a solid team. UVA is scrappy and has potential to keep this one close but give me Eli Holstein and the Panthers to win this one.
Kansas 27 (17) Iowa State 24
• Kansas is having a rough year while Iowa State is having a really good season (Besides last week). The Jayhawks might be 2-6 but they have a team capable of pulling off a big upset and my formula loves them this week.
(16) Ole Miss 31 (3) Georgia 27
• My formula loves the Rebels in this game so I’m going to take them to win outright. I know Lane Kiffin has struggled in the big games but this is his chance with how bad Carson Beck has been playing lately. If Tre Harris is healthy that will be a big boost for Ole Miss and bolster their opportunities to win.
(12) Boise State 48 Nevada 14
• Nevada is just another team that’s going to get ran over by Ashton Jeanty. This game shouldn’t even be close!!!!!!!!
(11) Alabama 35 (15) LSU 27
• This is basically an elimination game for both teams, the loser will have 3 losses and extremely slim hopes of making the CFP. If Jalen Milroe can play to his capabilities I believe the Crimson Tide get a win in Death Valley.
(10) Notre Dame 38 Florida State 7
• In the preseason this looked like it would be a Top 10-25 matchup, now it’s an expected blowout because the Noles are horrible.
(9) BYU 24 Utah 21
• The “Holy War” is always a classic. This season BYU is undefeated and the Utes are reeling. I believe this could be an even lower scoring game than I have predicted and I’m taking the Utes +4.5 to cover as well.
(8) Indiana 24 Michigan 20
• The Hoosiers are undefeated and a 14 point favorite in this one but I feel like the Wolverines could put up a respectable fight. My formula has been wrong on Indiana and of course it once again likes the opposing team. Michigan lost last week vs Oregon but they actually showed promise. I expect Indiana to win but the Wolverines will cover and give the Hoosiers a scare.
(7) Tennessee 38 Mississippi State 14
• The Vols will get back on track in this game and I don’t see how the Bulldogs will stop RB Dylan Sampson, Vols win big!!!!!
(6) Penn State 34 Washington 17
• I’ve picked the Huskies quite a few times this season in upsets but this week won’t be one of those times. I’m looking for the the Nittany Lions to get back on track and not only win but cover ATS.
(5) Texas 42 Florida 10
• Florida announced that Billy Napier will be back in 2025 and it’s possible the Gators have DJ Lagway back in this game. The Longhorns need to make a statement and if Lagway is out I believe this will be a bludgeoning.
(4) Miami 37 Georgia Tech 27
• Miami has the better team by far and this prediction is based on Haynes King playing for GT. Cam Ward will lead the Canes to a win but I expect the Yellowjackets to compete and get a backdoor cover.
(2) Ohio State 49 Purdue 7
• Ohio State got a big win last week in Happy Valley and unfortunately for the Boilermakers they’re just way overmatched in this game, Ohio State wins BIG!!!!!!
(1) Oregon 38 Maryland 17
• Oregon will 100% win this game but I’m expecting the Terps to cover the 26 point spread.
