#23 Miami (7-3) @ Georgia Tech (7-3) ESPN 6:45, GT by 3.5
Huge ACC Coastal matchup with both teams still in the hunt. GT's spread option, #8 nationally in rushing v. Miami rush defense, #19 nationally, but gave up over 300 rush yds to FSU. GT must stop its habit of fumbling that would boost an average at best Cane offense who should be harrassed by an excellent GT defensive front. GT wins 21-17.

West Virginia (6-3) @ Louisville (5-5) ESPN 11am, WV by 7
QB White leads the WV spread option offense that excels rushing v. Louisville's rush defense ranked #8 nationally, but that ranking could be skewed since they are last in the Big East defending the pass. WV has struggled defending kick returns and can't allow that to boost an average Louisville offense that has struggled on 3rd down and is turnover prone, but now must face the best defense in the Big East. WV wins 28-17.
Michigan (3-8) @ #10 Ohio St. (9-2) ABC 11am, OSU by 24
The one bright spot for UM has been a solid defensive line that is capable of stuffing a basic rushing attack, however QB Pryor is the type of running QB that has given UM fits. The UM offense has been horrible while trying to make the transition to the spread option without the right personnel and they now face one of the better defenses in the country. OSU wins 31-10.
Ole Miss (6-4) @ #18 LSU (7-3) CBS 2:30, LSU by 7
LSU trailed big at home last week to Troy in the 3rd Q. but somehow managed to rally for a win. The QB situation continues to be a huge concern after last summer's dismissal of SEC championship MVP Perriloux. Both teams are mostly even on offense and defense, but Ole Miss has the better QB and has proven itself winning at Florida in the swamp. Ole Miss wins 28-24.

#15 Michigan St. (9-2) @ #8 Penn St. (10-1) ABC/ESPN2, 2:30, PSU by 13
While MSU has a dark horse Heisman candidate in RB Ringer, PSU has the advantage on offense, defense, and special teams. Combine that with home field... PSU wins 35-17.

#20 Pitt (7-2) @ #19 Cinci (8-2) ESPN2, 6pm, Cinci by 5
Winner controls their destiny towards the Big East Championship. Both teams are mostly even on offense and defense, but Cinci has the better QB and home field advantage. Cinci wins 28-24.

Florida St. (7-3) @ #25 Maryland (7-3) ESPN 6:45, Pickem
Two erratic teams face off, despite the stout FSU defense, Maryland has the better QB, and the intangibles of the homefield, momentum, and the only team in the nation to knock off four Top25 teams. Maryland wins 24-21.

#2 Texas Tech (10-0) @ #5 Oklahoma (9-1) ABC 7pm, OU by 7
Two of the nations most electrifying offenses will be showcased in a game with Championships and the Heisman at stake. OU leads the nation in turnover margin with its efficient offense and opportunistic defense, but TT is not far behind with it defense creating just as many turnovers and its offense with 6 more turnovers. During the Stoops era, the OU defense has defended the nations best spread offenses better than anyone, having success each year against TT and twice last year v. Mizz. This year is no different with the defensive strength being the talent and depth at DT, which is crucial to pressure up the middle v. the wide splits of the TT offensive line. That won't be easy as the TT o-line has given up a mere 4 sacks, but OU counters with excellent blitzing OLB's and cover CB's, plus a big homefield advantage... OU wins 42-31.
