As usual, all times Eastern and all predictions wrong.

Noon:

• Florida @ Texas (ABC): Okay folks, I need to be level with you. We, well, I, intended to have the bowl predictions ready by now as well as the weekly update. Unfortunately, I have failed in the first part and almost failed in the second. So except for a few things, this is going to be a LIGHTNING ROUND. Texas!
• Purdue @ Ohio State (FOX): Buckeyes!
• Minnesota @ Rutgers (NBC): Gophers?
• Miami @ Georgia Tech (ESPN): Okay, so, I have to talk about the alma mater, and it is our homecoming. Look, Miami is that much better this year and they got to this point undefeated. I have a good idea what to expect here, and I don’t think it’s that great for us. But, well, as last year’s game demonstrated, anything can happen. And I suspect we might need that.
• Navy @ South Florida (ESPN2): Midshipmen!
• West Virginia @ Cincinnati (FS1): Bearcats!
• Syracuse @ Boston College (The CW): Orange!
• Texas State @ Louisiana-Monroe (ESPNU): Monroe?

1:00: Liberty @ Middle Tennessee State (CBSS): I wish I could believe the Blue Raiders could do this, but alas.

2:30:

• Connecticut @ Alabama-Birmingham (ESPN+)
• Marshall @ Southern Mississippi (ESPN+)

3:30:

• Georgia @ Mississippi (ABC): My perhaps most controversial take is that Ole Miss is the Penn State of the SEC, but, well prove me wrong? As much as it pains me, I have to think Georgia is going to win.
• Michigan @ Indiana (CBS): #10Windiana?
• Clemson @ Virginia Tech (ESPN): Still going to pick Clemson here until proven otherwise.
• Army @ North Texas (ESPN2): Army until proven otherwise.
• Iowa State @ Kansas (@Kansas City, MO; FS1): I have to go with the Cyclones here.
• San Jose State @ Oregon State (The CW): Beavers!
• Duke @ North Carolina State (ACCN): NC State!
• Georgia State @ James Madison (ESPN+)

4:00:

• Colorado @ Texas Tech (FOX): Buffs?
• Temple @ Tulane (ESPNU): Green Wave!
• Kennesaw State @ Texas-El Paso (ESPN+)

4:15: South Carolina @ Vanderbilt (SEC): Vandy? Oof, that’s weird to say.

4:30: Jacksonville State @ Louisiana Tech (CBSS): Jax?

5:00: Arkansas State @ Louisiana (ESPN+)

6:00: Western Kentucky @ New Mexico State (ESPN+)

7:00:

• Mississippi State @ Tennessee (ESPN): Vols.
• Central Florida @ Arizona State (ESPN2): Knights.
• Oklahoma State @ Texas Christian (FS1):  TCU, probably.
• Maryland @ Oregon (BTN): Ducks.

7:30:

• Florida State @ Notre Dame (NBC): Irish.
• Alabama @ Louisiana State (ABC): So this is really the game of the day, and I really believe that this will be worth it. It should be fun to watch, but I think that the night environment in Baton Rouge will allow LSU to prevail.

7:45: Oklahoma @ Missouri (SEC): Tigers?

8:00:

• Nevada @ Boise State (FOX): Broncos. Well, Ashton Jeanty specifically.
• Virginia @ Pittsburgh (ACCN): Pitt?
• Washington @ Pennsylvania State (Peacock): Nittany Lions.

9:00: Nevada-Las Vegas @ Hawaii (CBSS): Rebels.

9:45: Fresno State @ Air Force (FS1): Bulldogs.

10:15: Brigham Young @ Utah (“Holy War”; ESPN): It’s good to see this rivalry on again, but I have to think it’s BYU all the way here.

10:30: Utah State @ Washington State (The CW): Cougs.
