Ohio State (-22) VS. MINNESOTA:

Ohio State has played much better than anyone expected as their defense is one of the best units in all of college football. This Buckeyes defensive squad has controlled every game they have played so far this year and they will be able to clamp down on a decent Gophers attack. Ohio States offense is not up to par with their defense but they have been just good enough to give this team the look of past great Buckeyes teams. Although this number might be a tad high due to their offensive inconsistency, the Ohio State defense is so dominant that they will be able to control this one throughout. THE PICK: Ohio State (-23.5)Ohio State has played much better than anyone expected as their defense is one of the best units in all of college football.

West Virginia (-7) VS. SOUTH FLORIDA:

The Mountaineers visit USF in a nationally televised Friday night game that will go a long way towards deciding Big East supremacy. The success of West Virginia was not unexpected but the great play of South Florida has been surprising. They have played great defense on their way to an upset win on the road against Auburn. Of course they will have their hands full with the dynamic duo of QB Pat White and RB Steve Slaton. West Virginia has been an offensive machine this year, habitually marching up and down the field with ease. These two are quite possibly the biggest game breakers in college football and when you throw in freshman sensation Noel Devine, it becomes clear that USF will have to play the game of their lives to win this one. Go with the Mountaineers to once again shine on the national stage. THE PICK: West Virginia (-7)

BOISE STATE (-10) VS. Southern Mississippi:

Boise State has been a very good home team over the years as they are 20-4 ATS in their 24 such games. Their offense is not even close to the level they were at in storming the NCAA the last two years but they still can move the ball with good efficiency. Southern Miss also has struggled defensively and they should yield some big yardage to State. Boise State also has a nice advantage on defense as they have played well all year and should limit a weak Southern Miss offense. Bank on the fact Boise State plays well in front of the home crowd on national television. THE PICK: Boise State (-10.5)
