#8 Oregon @ #7 Washington – 3:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

Oregon has looked fantastic throughout the first six weeks of the season, and they will be looking to remain undefeated as well as grab a top 10 victory on the road against Washington here on Saturday afternoon. This is a marquee matchup, and it could go a long way and determining who wins the Pac 12 conference this season as both of these teams are arguably the front runners at the moment alongside USC. Oregon has put together a respectable résumé up until this point and they will be looking to further establish their résumé with another quality performance here on Saturday. Quarterback Bo Nix is slowly putting himself into the Heisman conversation, as he is turning into one of the best quarterbacks in the country throughout the year.

The Washington Huskies will be looking to pick up a massive victory at home against the Oregon Ducks here on Saturday afternoon. Washington has looked fantastic throughout the first six weeks of the season and quarterback, Michael Pennix Junior also looks like a potential Heisman Trophy candidate heading into this game against the Oregon Ducks here on Saturday. He will be looking to further establish his case with a quality performance in this game, and further establish the case that Washington is the best team in the Pac 12 with a victory over Oregon as well. Regardless of the outcome of this game, a high scoring shootout between these two teams and that is why I’m going with them to score over the total points line here in this one. 

#10 USC @ #21 Notre Dame – 7:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

USC is undefeated coming into this game on the road in South Bend against Notre Dame on Saturday night. College Gameday will be in the building to watch the defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams try to lead the Trojans to a huge victory over one of their biggest rivals. This would be a marquee win for USC regardless of the fact that Notre Dame has struggled over the last couple of weeks, as getting a victory on the road in a place like South Bend against a team like Notre Dame is always a huge accomplishment for USC. They will be looking to further establish themselves as a legitimate playoff team as well after barely escaping Arizona last weekend as they will need to show the country that they are still a top-tier team. 

Notre Dame will be looking to bounce back after they were absolutely trounced by Louisville last Saturday night in primetime. It was a heartbreaking second loss for Notre Dame in this rough stretch of schedule where they are playing four consecutive undefeated teams, and four consecutive ranked teams as well. Unfortunately, Notre Dame just couldn’t stay up to the task and they lost to a really solid Louisville team on the road. It was their second loss of the season which took them out of playoff contention. However, if they make a recovery and win the remaining games on their schedule, they could still get a New Year’s Six bowl potentially. This will be a solid game between two quality programs, and in the end I think Notre Dame will come out on top, in an upset. 

#25 Miami @ #12 North Carolina – 7:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Miami Hurricanes will be looking to bounce back from their absolutely horrible loss to Georgia Tech last weekend, where they easily had the game won in the final minutes. They had the ball with under a minute remaining and head coach Mario Cristobal decided to run the football rather than take a knee and run the clock out and what proceeded was a disaster for Miami. The Miami running back fumbled the football, and Georgia Tech took the ball all the way down the field with less than 30 seconds left to defeat the Miami Hurricanes and knock them out of the ranks of the unbeaten. Now Miami, one of their toughest tests of the season, undefeated North Carolina on the road and they will have to play better if they want to get the job done in this one.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will be looking to remain undefeated with a victory at home over a fellow top 25 team. They have had a solid start to the season however, they tend to make games harder on themselves than they need to, as they have been prone to allow teams back into games late, and then they end up winning a close one. North Carolina will be looking to add another quality win in this game as they look to further establish themselves as the favorites in the Atlantic Coast Conference, as well as a potential playoff team this season. That is exactly what I expect as I look for North Carolina to pick up the victory over Miami here at home on Saturday evening.

Missouri @ #24 Kentucky – 7:30PM ET

Tony Battalio

Missouri comes into this game, looking to grab a crucial victory over the Kentucky Wildcats. Missouri is off to a solid start this season as they have picked up five victories in their first six games of the year with their only loss coming to LSU last weekend. Unfortunately from Missouri, they had that game won several times throughout the contest, and they had several opportunities to put LSU away, but they were unable to do so. They will be looking to bounce back and keep their SEC championship hopes with a quality victory over Kentucky here on Saturday evening, as they keep racking up victories before running into Georgia later on in the season.

The Kentucky Wildcats looked fantastic throughout the first five weeks of the season. Then they ran into the Georgia Bulldogs last weekend, and it ended very badly for Kentucky. They were less than competitive against the number one team in the country, and they found themselves with a single loss on their record throughout their first six games of the season. However the more important thing is they lost a divisional game to Georgia which puts them on the outside, looking in of the SEC division title race, and they will be looking for a crucial victory here on Saturday night against Missouri at home. I expect this to be a solid back-and-forth game, but in the end for Kentucky, I look for Missouri to bring home the victory on the road.

#18 UCLA @ #15 Oregon State – 8PM ET

Tony Battalio

The UCLA Bruins are coming off of a huge victory against Washington State last weekend and they will be looking for yet another top 25 victory when they hit the road to play Oregon State here on Saturday night. UCLA has looked solid throughout the first six weeks of the season despite their loss to Utah a few weeks ago they still have a legitimate shot at competing for a PAC 12 title as well as a college football playoff spot if they win the remaining games on their schedule. Freshman quarterback Dante Moore has looked good throughout his first six games in college football as well and they will be relying on him to deliver another quality performance here on Saturday night to get a top 25 win against the Beavers on the road.

Oregon State comes into this game at home looking to pick up a crucial victory over the UCLA Bruins. They have gotten off to a solid start throughout the first six weeks of the season and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling as well as pick up another massive Pac 12 victory here on Saturday night at home. Throughout the first half of the season, they have quickly established themselves as potential contenders to win the Pac 12 championship, much like several other teams in the Pac 12, and Oregon State will be looking to separate themselves from the pack with a victory over UCLA here on Saturday night. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Beavers to pick up the victory over the Bruins to pick up another victory on the year.
