Virginia Tech @ Maryland – If you’re looking for a preview of the game you won’t find that here. If those are things of interest to you then check out Gobbler Country’s What to Watch or Testudo Times. The only thing that matters in this fashion show game is that the Hokies win so I win a blogger bet with our friends at Girls Don’t Know Sports. The winner of said bet gets to defile the other’s banner atop their blog which will remain in place for a week. Please don’t fuck this up Hokies.

West Virginia 34 @ Cincinnati 42 – Bombs over Nippert. The ‘Eers have a sketchy secondary that Zach Collaros will exploit.

Miami 20 @ North Carolina 30 – The Canes will sleepwalk into a buzzsaw.

Iowa 13 @ Ohio State 24 – It will be close, but never within reach for the Hawkeyes. James Vandenberg didn’t make anyone a believer last week.

Utah 24 @ TCU 38 – Utah hasn’t done anything of note this year except win eight games. They’re flying under the radar in a bad way riding their street-cred (gasp Utah has street-cred) back up the rankings. TCU handles business in front of their first sellout in three years.

Notre Dame 24 @ Pittsburgh 21 – File this pick under things I never thought I would do. I’m taking the Irish in a must win road game, against a ranked team, at night, who plays stout defense and punishes opponents on the ground. Chuckles Weis is obviously failing to the Wanstache here.
