BCS Rank * Team (record) * CST * TV * Favorite
THURSDAY NOV 13, 2008
Virginia Tech (6-3) @ Miami (6-3) 6:45 ESPN Miami by 3.5
Hokies questions at QB and being on the road have me picking the Canes 21-17.

FRIDAY NOV 14, 2008
#22 Cinci (7-2) @ Louisville (5-4) 7pm ESPN2 Cinci by 3.5
Cinci has knocked off 2 ranked Big East rivals the last 2 weeks and remarkably ranks #24 nationally in pass offense despite numerous injuries to their QB's. Louisville knocked off ranked S.Fla. but has since dropped 2 straight to lowly Syracuse before getting blown out by Pitt. Rugged Cinci wins a squeaker 28-24.

SATURDAY NOV 15, 2008
#11 Ohio St. (8-2) @ Illinois (5-5) 11am ESPN OSU by 8
OSU boasts the best D in the Big10, while the Illini Offense leads the Big10 in yds. Two of the nations most athletic QB's will be on display. Which Illinois team will show up, the one shocked by Western Michigan last week or the one who knocked off a hot Iowa team 2 weeks ago? The Illini defense has struggled...OSU wins 24-17.

#3 Texas (9-1) @ Kansas (6-4) 11:30am FSN TX by 13
Kansas QB Reesing is a gun slinger and will start, despite nursing a hurt leg. Not good when facing the fierce Texas pass rush. Texas needs style points to impress voters if the Big12 South ends in a 3-way tie with Oklahoma and Texas Tech, nod goes to highest ranked BCS team. Horrible KU secondary will be assaulted by high scoring Horns. Texas wins 45-28.

#25 So.Carolina (7-3) @ #4 Florida (8-1) 2:30pm CBS FLA by 21
Only Top25 Matchup of the weekend has added intrigue with Spurrier returning to the Swamp. Both teams boast Top 5 defenses, but Florida is far superior on offense and special teams, and they will not be overlooking the Gamecocks after already slipping up once this year and needing BCS style points. Florida chomps 42-14.

#16 No. Carolina (7-2) @ Maryland (6-3) 2:30pm ABCG Pickem
UNC must win to keep pace with Miami in ACC race. Terps are 3-0 v. Top25 teams this yr but were ripped by Virginia Tech last week as they could not stop the run or run the ball. UNC also has the better passing attack. UNC wins 24-21.

Boston College (6-3) @ #19 Florida St. (7-2) 7pm ABCG FSU by 6.5
Nationally, FSU ranks #5 in defense, while BC ranks #95 in offense. FSU has a powerful rushing attack, but will be without 5 WR's suspended for fighting and BC has the best run defense in the ACC. With the homefield in primetime, FSU wins 17-10.
