Not a great card, but there's some clashes of interest.

1. #4 OSU @ #3 PSU: this is the best chance for Penn St. to beat Ohio State. A loss by either won't knock them out of the playoff, although loss #2 for Ohio State will likely earn them a first-round road game and make the Indiana and Michigan games must-wins. I still think Ohio State wins, because Franklin is a choker.

2. Duke @ #5 Miami. Will Miami play another clunker and squeak by? I think Miami wins but doesn't cover (again).

3. Florida vs. #2 Georgia: this game is always a tad weird, and intense. If Georgia shows up focused, it won't be close.

4. #13 Indiana @ Michigan State: a definite look ahead game for Indiana. They have UM and OSU after this one. Their HC is the real deal and will have them ready. Indiana remains undefeated.

5. #1 Oregon @ Michigan: loss number 4 for UM. You need an offense to hang with the Ducks.

6. USC @ Washington: I like the Huskies. USC continues to stink.

7. #10 Texas A&M @ South Carolina: classic let-down spot. If A&M isn't dialed in, they could lose. This game is a toss-up in my mind.

8. Louisville @ #11 Clemson: does Louisville get hyped for a night game in Death Valley? If not, it's over by halftime.

9. Kentucky @ #7 Tennessee: UK can pull the upset, but the Vols will have to help. Tennessee can't afford a loss here.

10. #18 Pitt @ #20 SMU: Pitt is undefeated? That farce needs to end this weekend.
