Clemson at Louisville, 12 PM, ABC

Last Saturday, the defending national champs returned from a week off with a resounding home win over Florida State. Meanwhile, Louisville pulled out an upset over a ranked Wake Forest team. The Cardinals wonâ€™t make it two in a row, but they can make Clemson work for it.

The Pick: Louisville +23.5 (-110)

West Virginia at Oklahoma, 12 PM, FOX

The Mountaineers are riding a two-game losing streak, and thatâ€™s just not a great spot to be in for a trip to Oklahoma. That said, this spread is quite hefty for a Big 12 game which could devolve into a points-fest. Sooners win, but West Virginia keeps it closer than 33.5.

The Pick: West Virginia +33.5 (-110)

Florida at South Carolina, 12 PM, ESPN

The Gatorsâ€™ winless run came to an end at the hands of LSU. They now head to South Carolina to face a Gamecocks team which just upset Georgia. Florida avoids the pothole its divisional rival stepped in last week to bounce back with a win and cover.

The Pick: Florida -5 (-110)

Auburn at Arkansas, 12 PM, SEC

The Tigers are in the midst of a three-game road swing which wraps up with a date at LSU next week. While Arkansas has shown little this season while going 2-4, they have kept it closer than this hefty spread in three conference losses. Auburn wins, but Razorbacks cover.

The Pick: Arkansas +18.5 (-110)

Iowa State at Texas Tech, 12 PM, FS1

Since opening at 2-2, Iowa State has won two straight over conference foes by double digits. The Red Raiders showed something in an upset win over Oklahoma State a few weeks back, but they have also dropped three of the last four. Cyclones win and cover.

The Pick: Iowa State -7 (-110)

LSU at Mississippi State, 3:30 PM, CBS

The Tigers are off to a fantastic start, and pollsters continue to show them love. They can certainly run the record to 7-0 here, but theyâ€™re going to get a fight from a conference foe that would love to knock them down a peg. Bulldogs cover on the home field.

The Pick: Mississippi State +18.5 (-110)

Oregon at Washington, 3:30 PM, ABC

As a whole, the Pac-12 is wide open this year. However, Oregon has separated itself in the North division with a perfect 3-0 conference mark. Washington may have two blemishes this season, but they are absolutely capable of getting the outright upset at home.

The Pick: Washington +3 (-110)

Temple at SMU, 3:30 PM, ESPN2

The Owls pulled off one of last weekâ€™s biggest upsets with a home win over Temple. They hit the road to take on one of the most intriguing squads of 2019, the undefeated Mustangs. SMU takes advantage of a potential letdown spot for Temple to get the home win and cover.

The Pick: SMU -7.5 (-110)

South Florida at Navy, 3:30 PM, CBSSN

Since starting out a disappointing 1-3, the Bulls have won two straight. Theyâ€™ll have their hands full with a Navy team that continues to impress. The Midshipmen arenâ€™t far away from cracking the AP Top 25, and theyâ€™ll be even closer after an impressive win and cover.

The Pick: Navy -14 (-110)

Baylor at Oklahoma State, 4 PM, FOX

The undefeated Bears have a date with a Cowboys team which already has two losses on the year. The hosts simply canâ€™t afford another if they hope to be a factor in the Big 12. They get the home win and knock Baylor from the ranks of the unbeaten, but the visitors make them sweat.

The Pick: Baylor +3.5 (-110)
