#5 Florida State at Florida (Can Noles make CFP without Jordan Travis? Should have enough to get by 5-6 Gator Nation)
Iowa State at #19 Kansas State (Good BIG 12 game that doesn't really mean much in standings)
Kentucky at #10 Louisville (Cards might be looking ahead to #goacc championship game vs. tFSU)

_________________________________________
ALMOST made the cut...
#1 Georgia at #18 Tennessee (ONLY Craiggers thinks Rocky Top will come away wid da dub in this one)
SMU at Memphis (HUGE American Conference game as Memphis tries to keep up with UTSA, SMU, & Tulane. Mustangs 8 point fav)
Illinois at #16 Iowa (POINTS? POINTS??... who needs POINTS???)
Central Florida at Texas Tech (Winner gets bowl eligible... to one of those FANCY mid-Dec bowls)
Nebraska at Wisconsin (Another battle of 5-5 teams... could MATT RHULE really be going bowling in his first year with The Children of The Corn?)
Purdue at Northwestern (3-7 Boilers are hot garbage, but former interim coach David Braun could miraculously get Cats to a bowl game in 2023)

____________________________________________
ALMOST made the cut...
USC at #6 Oregon (REALLY hate to leave this one off the WEEK 11 slate, but Trojans defense becoming UNC-like. Snoop Dogg a candidate for next SoCal DC)
West Virginia at #17 Oklahoma (Came down to this game and GT-Clemson. Boomer Sooner is reeling, but will they lose THREE straight? Probably not, but Mounties take this to late 4th quarter)
Miami, THE U at #4 Florida State (Not much stands in the way of tFSU and the CFP, but this game could get interesting. Mario Cristobal will find a way to screw up whatever chances Canes have)
Old Dominion at Liberty (Monarchs took JMU to the wire and will try to end Flames unbeaten season, but come into this game with 4-5 record)
Northwestern at Wisconsin (Another BIG 10 + 4 fistfight. Might have made the slate if Cats had beaten Iowa last weekend. Both teams can still go bowling)

__________________________________
ALMOST made the cut...
#14 Missouri at #1 Georgia (If this game were in Columbia, might have made the WEEK 10 slate. Mizzou will hang around, but UGGA stays unbeaten)
#12 Notre Dame at Clemson (Tigers should be ready in Death Valley, but not enough offense to keep up with Sam Harman and Irish. 3 point spread perplexes me)
Texas A&M at #11 Mississippi (Jimbo has had some tough losses this year to good teams, but Joey Freshwater should get the best of him at The Grove. Another 3 point spread that is too small)
Virginia Tech at #15 Louisville (Hokies still have hopes of facing tFSU at BofA Stadium. Cards have the inside track for 2nd place. Huge game for both teams)
#23 James Madison at Georgia State (Dukes will have a hard time staying unbeaten at GSU. CFP hopes on the line for JMU)

ALMOST made the cut...
#1 Georgia vs. Florida (Hate to leave The World's Largest Cocktail Party off the WEEK 8 slate, but Dawgs a 2 TD fav and EVERYONE would pick UGGA, right???)
Brigham Young at #7 Texas (Like Florida, BYU comes in at 5-2 but a 17 point dog. Everybody picks Hook "Em, RIGHT??? I'm still thinking back to that UVA-UNC game...)
Colorado at #23 UCLA (Time is running out for Coach Prime to get his 6-pack for Buffaloes. CU has a shot against Bruins, but not much of one.)
#24 USC at California (Trojans out of CFP picture, but still can win the last PAC-12 title ever. Golden Bears have outside shot at a bowl game. #goacc)
Mississippi State at Auburn (Two good but not great SEC teams trying to find a way to get to a bowl game... maybe against a good but not great ACC team?)

#2 Michigan at Michigan State (Wolves should crush the downtrodden Sparticus program, but stranger things have happened in this rivalry)

Washington State at #9 Oregon (Wazzu could end Ducks CFP hopes if they can get up off the mat after 44-6 trucking by AZ Cats last weekend)
#8 Texas at Houston (Sneaky dangerous game for Hook 'Em. Should win, but an L ends CFP hopes)
Appalachian State at Old Dominion (3-3 teams trying to get a 6-pack as we enter 2nd half of season)

Iowa at Wisconsin (Hawks are 5-1, Badgers 4-1. Should be a good grinder of a game. 'Sconsin (-10) a little much, methinks)
Florida at South Carolina (Key SEC battle betwixt to schools that WANT to be great, but in reality are just good. #truthbomb)
Arizona at #19 Washington State (Wildcats might be best 3-3 team in NCAA with CLOSE losses to Miss St, U-Dub, and SoCal. Wazzu looking to bounce back after L to UCLAns)

ALMOST made the cut...
Wake Forest at Clemson (Wonder if the 21 point line would be smaller if Deacs could have supported Sam Hartman's 1 MIL-plus NIL money?)
#15 Oregon State at California (Golden Bears less than 10 pt dawg to resurgent Beavers. #goacc)
Rutgers at Wisconsin (3-1 Badgers favored by 13 over 4-1 Scarlet Knights. This game HAS to be one of the SuperDog picks of the ESPN College Gameday crew)
Maryland at #4 Ohio State (Matchup of unbeatens, but tOSU favored by 20. #gotwerps)
Boston College at Army (Both are sub-.500, so this game would never make the slate anyway. Should be a good game, though. Can either one of these teams reach 6 W's?)

Appalachian State at Louisiana-Monroe (Apps 2 TD favs in important Sun Belt game)
