Saturday, October 25
UCLA at 2 Indiana (-25.5, 55) 12:00 pm (FOX) - UCLA has played better lately, but they are still suspect at 3-4. The Hoosiers, in addition to being one of just six undefeated teams left in the college ranks, is also the 4th-highest scoring team in the country (43.9, tied with Texas Tech).
This team has employed the portal to build a national champion contender and probably won’t be derailed here.
Coin Flip: Indiana
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hoosiers 44 Bruins 13
Georgia Tech is probably better than any of the teams that topped the Orange, so the line posted may not be an underestimate.
Coin Flip: Syracuse
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Yellow Jackets 42 Orange 21
While Oklahoma had an easy time dispatching South Carolina last week, the Rebels were embroiled in a war vs. Georgia, in a hard-fought 43-35 loss, as their offense essentially got shut down late in the game. That’s not likely to happen again, but it also does not ensure an Ole Miss victory.
Coin Flip: Oklahoma
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Sooners 30 Rebels 27
6-1 Virginia is playing at a high level, and this could be a walkover for them, though the coaches need to keep the players from falling into complacency. It is still a road game and hostile territory. Could be Carolina’s week to cover and maybe pull off a shocker.
Coin Flip: North Carolina
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cavaliers 27 Tar Heels 23
South Florida, along with their upsets of Florida and Boise State, are 3-0 in American conference play, absolutely crushing their opponents. Memphis might be capable of staying close, but the Bulls look like the class of the conference, scoring 41.7 points per outing, 7th-best nationally.
Coin Flip: South Florida
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bulls 38
South Carolina has just one conference win - 35-13 over Kentucky - and last week were dumped by Oklahoma, 26-7. This could get ugly.
Coin Flip: South Carolina
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Crimson Tide 42 Gamecocks 10
A slight edge goes to Vandy for being at home, but also because Missouri just barely escaped Auburn, winning 23-17 in double OT ;last week and are on the road again.
Coin Flip: Vanderbilt
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commodores 26 Tigers 20
The Cyclones are coming off a pair of losses - both on the road - to Cincinnati, 38-30, and Colorado, 24-17 and hopes to rebound at home. A loss ends hopes for the Big 12 title shot and the post-season playoffs.
Coin Flip: Iowa State
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cyclones 24 Cougars 23
The Illini were last seen losing to Ohio State, 34-16, but they’ve had an extra week to recover and prepare. Both teams are 5-2 with outside shots at making the playoffs. Pretty big deal.
Coin Flip: Washington
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Fighting Illini 31 Huskies 24
