1:00-4:14 — Teams that impressed.

  • Maryland, Rutgers, Kansas State, Oregon State and Oregon.

4:15-9:30 — Teams that disappointed.

  • Boise State, LSU, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Iowa and Washington State.

9:55-14:45 — North Carolina State at Miami -2.5

  • Lindeman: “I feel like this is a spot where NC State can come in and get a road win against a Miami team that’s on an emotional high after last week’s big comeback victory.”
  • Burke: “This looks like a track meet. I’ll be on the over here.”

14:46-19:25 — Wisconsin at Nebraska -11.5

  • Lindeman: “Something doesn’t sit right with me here. You look at the line and the number and your first instinct is to take Wisconsin. But something just isn’t right … I’m going to lay off this game.”
  • Burke: “This is going to be a game where neither coach will let their QB make a mistake that costs them. This is a big swing game for both teams. I’ll look to play under here.”

19:30-25:25 — Stanford -6.5 at Washington

  • First road start for Stanford QB Josh Nunes.
  • Which Stanford team will we get? The one that nearly lost to San Jose State, or the one that spanked USC and then Duke?

25:26-29:40 — Tennessee at Georgia -13

  • Is this a look-ahead spot for the Bulldogs with Florida on deck?
  • Dooley is 0-11 against ranked teams.

29:41-34:30 — Texas -2 at Oklahoma State

  • The Longhorns opened as an underdog at the Wynn in Las Vegas.
  • Texas has won six straight matchups in Stillwater.
  • Lindeman: “Texas’s offense looks great, but they haven’t exactly gone against world beaters.”

34:35-43:30 — Wild Card games

  • Arizona State at California -1.5
  • Western Kentucky -2.5 at Arkansas State
