_______________________________

#21 Arkansas at #2 Alabama (Tide tripped up once this year, not going to happen again till SEC title game... MAYBE)

South Carolina at Missouri (Cocks pounded Gators last weekend, bowl eligibility still possible for BOTH)

__________________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

Georgia State at North Carolina (28 point spread was too much for CFC standards. Heels will be back on slate next week)

Rutgers at Syracuse (Will be a close game, but 1-0 might be best these teams do this season)

Memphis at Arkansas State (Would have been good practice for BOWL MATRIX CHALLENGE)

Illinois at Virginia (Great BIG 10 + 4/ACC Challenge game in Hooville)

San Diego State at Arizona (Aztecs probably should be in PAC-12)
