Penn State at #17 Wisconsin (-7)
Wisconsin should win at home against Penn State, but I wouldn‘t put money down on this one.

Florida wins at Vanderbilt, but Vandy gives them a run for their money. Take the points on this one.
Mississippi State at Alabama (-14.5)
Fourteen is an awful lot to give from a team that‘s offense doesn‘t exactly set the world on fire. Crimson Tide for the win, but take the points.
1:00 PM

Here‘s a shocker for you – Ohio State for the win, give the points while you‘re at it.
#13 LSU at #8 Tennessee (+4.5)
I feel pretty comfortable in taking the points with Tennessee since they‘re in Knoxville. The game is too close to call, but my heart tells me Tennessee, much to my chagrin.
Washington at #24 Oregon (-16.5)
Oregon wins at home, but I would avoid putting money on the game for a variety of reasons.

7:00 PM
Oklahoma State at #4 Texas (-18)

I‘ve got Wake upsetting Boston College here, especially since they‘re in Winston-Salem. Take the points.
