#19 Colorado @ #10 Oregon – 3:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Colorado Buffaloes survived an upset against Colorado State last weekend, and now they will face the toughest test of the season when they hit the road to play the Oregon Ducks. Deion Sanders will have to have his team ready to play even without their superstar, two-way player, Travis Hunter, who will miss the game after suffering a lacerated liver in last weekend’s victory against Colorado State. Even without Travis Hunter, on the field Colorado still has enough talent to get the job done in this one but they will have to play an incredible game against a very tough Oregon team. They will have to get pressure on the defensive line, which is something they have struggled with early on in the season.

The Oregon Ducks will be looking to put a stop to the hype train that is the Colorado Buffaloes early on in the season. Oregon has looked solid throughout the first couple weeks of the season and I will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Saturday afternoon at home against Colorado. They are serious contenders to win the Pac-12 Championship this season as well as make a college football playoff appearance, and they will be looking to pick up a huge top 25 victory here on Saturday. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Oregon Ducks to not only pick up the victory in this game, but cover the spread at home against Colorado.

#22 UCLA @ #11 Utah – 3:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The UCLA Bruins come into this game facing the toughest test of the season as they take the road against the Utah team that has not lost at home in several seasons. UCLA has gotten off to a pretty successful start this season, and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here against Utah on Saturday afternoon as they look to further establish themselves as a contender to win the Pac 12 this season. UCLA comes into this game with a 3-0 record and an average margin of victory of 30 points, however, this will be the first power five team they are facing this season, so it’ll be a solid measuring stick for this UCLA program. 

The Utah Utes come into this game undefeated looking to pass yet another test on the season after opening up the year with a victory over Florida and following up with a victory over Baylor. They have played a tough schedule up until this point in the season and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Saturday afternoon at home against the UCLA Bruins when they open up conference play. Utah has not lost a game at home in over three years and they will be looking to keep it that way with another victory over UCLA here on Saturday. That is exactly what I expect as I have the Utah Utes picking up the victory over UCLA here in this one.

#16 Ole Miss @ #11 Alabama – 3:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Ole Miss Rebels will be looking to pick up a massive victory on Saturday afternoon on the road in Tuscaloosa, and they will be looking to become the second consecutive team to beat Alabama at home this season. Ole Miss will be looking to take advantage of an Alabama team that struggled last weekend against South Florida and looked very lethargic with the football, after they only put up 17 points in their game last weekend. Ole Miss will also be looking to pick up a statement victory and establish themselves as favorites in the SEC West division here on Saturday afternoon. UCLA comes into this game with a 3-0 record and an average margin of victory of 36 points, and they will be looking to pick up their fourth victory of the season here on Saturday. 

This has already been an unusual season for the Crimson Tide of Alabama, as they have lost early on in the year, and another loss would take them out of the playoff chase prior to the SEC championship game or the iron bowl. They nearly lost to South Florida on the road last Saturday as their offense, and their quarterback position looked very lethargic throughout the game. They will be looking to bounce back here in this one, and they certainly cannot afford to make those same mistakes as last week because a team as solid as Ole Miss will take advantage of that. Unfortunately for Alabama that is exactly what I expect as I look for Mississippi to upset the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa and end their season early.

#14 Oregon State @ #21 Washington State – 7PM ET

Tony Battalio

Oregon State will be looking to pick up a massive victory here and week number four of the season against Washington State on Saturday night on the road. They are off to an incredible start this season much like the rest of their conference so they will have to keep pace by continuing to pick up victories, especially in conference play like this game against Washington State on Saturday. Oregon State comes into this game undefeated and ranked fourteenth in the country and they will be looking to keep their winning ways going here on Saturday. They have an average margin of victory of 30 points, and they will be looking to pick up their fourth victory of the season here on Saturday.

Washington State is off to a solid start this season and they have picked up some victories over solid competition to prepare them for the opening game of conference play against Oregon State on Saturday night at home. They are ranked inside the top 25 of the country and they will be looking to pick up another victory here on Saturday at home to grab their first conference victory of the season. They come into this game undefeated with a record of 3-0 on the season and they have already picked up a victory over a fellow power five team when they defeated Wisconsin a few weeks ago. They have one every game by two possessions this season and I expect them to pick up a victory here on Saturday night at home as well. 

#24 Iowa @ #7 Penn State – 7:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Iowa Hawkeyes are having a solid start to the season but they will have to be a lot more productive with the football this weekend when they hit the road to play Penn State in Happy Valley. They come into this game undefeated and ranked in the top 25 of the nation and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Saturday night on the road as they face their toughest test of the season. They picked up a huge rivalry victory over Iowa State in the second weekend of the season, and I will be looking to replicate that type of performance here against another power five school on Saturday night and one of the toughest environments in all of college football.

The Penn State Nittany Lions are rolling and they have clearly shown that they are a top 10 team in the country so far. They will be looking to pick up another victory in this game against Iowa on Saturday night at home in their traditional “White Out” game at Beaver Stadium. New quarterback Drew Allar has lived up to the hype thus far and he will be looking to continue that in this game against Iowa Penn State looks to pick up their fourth victory of the season and grab a top 25 victory in the process. Running Backs, Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen have been huge contributors to the success of the Penn State football team, and I expect this three headed monster offense to lead Penn State to another victory in this game.
