Been a tough stretch for the dogs the past two weeks so Im leaning to Ole Miss over the Golden Domers from Starkvegas. Ole Miss 24 Miss Stats 20 Friday afternoon No. 17 LSU (-24.5) vs. Arkansas HOME LOCATION AWAY BATON ROUGE, LA Nov. 29, 2:30 PM ET CBS Two years ago, the LSU-Arkansas game matched teams ranked first and third in the nation, but the battle for the Golden Boot lacks much luster this season. No. 17 LSU comes in off an impressive win against Texas A&M, but the Razorbacks will be happy to see this season end after what will likely be their ninth straight defeat. LSU looking for an upper tier bowl and as we predicted earlier in the year, the Razorbacks go winless in the SEC. LSU 38 Arkansas 10 No. 16 Fresno State (-7.5) at San Jose State AWAY LOCATION HOME SAN JOSE, CA Nov. 29, 3:30 PM ET CBS Sports Network Derek Carr and the Fresno State Bulldogs have put on a show this season, with the offense quietly ranking tops in the nation. Against a San Jose State team thats riddled with losses and injuries, Fresno State should have no problem, but rivalry games have a habit of producing the unpredictable. Fresno punches it ticket to the BCS ? Fresno State 27 SAn Jose State 17 The Civil War No. 13 Oregon (-21.5) vs. Oregon State HOME LOCATION AWAY EUGENE, OR Nov. 29, 7:00 PM ET FOX Sports 1 Once national title contenders, the Ducks have been free falling through November with losses to Stanford and Arizona. At this point, its about salvaging whats left of a disappointing season. Oregon State has likewise had a rough second half of the year and has dropped four straight. The Ducks are going for their sixth straight win in the series. Oregon 45 OSU 21 No. 19 UCF (-27) vs. South Florida HOME LOCATION AWAY ORLANDO, FL Nov. 29, 8:00 PM ET UCF is 0-4 in the series against South Florida, but the two teams have not played each other since their 2005-08 run. The Knights sit atop an impressive 9-1 record, and are undefeated in the conference. They will have their sights on clinching at least a share of the American Athletic Conference championship, and defeating a 2-8 South Florida team will be the next step in that process. UCF 35 South Florida 7 No. 2 Florida State (-27.5) at Florida AWAY LOCATION HOME GAINESVILLE, FL Nov. 30, 12:00 PM ET Most years, this is the biggest game on the docket for Florida State, and players continue to insist that in a rivalry showdown, anything can happen. But the numbers tell a far different story. FSU is 11-0, has scored 40 or more in every game, and features a Heisman candidate at QB and a defense that has scored seven times this season. Florida has lost six straight, including an embarrassing 26-20 defeat to FBS Georgia Southern, which won despite not completing a pass the entire game. FSU 42 Florida 10 No. 11 Michigan State (-14.5) vs. Minnesota HOME LOCATION AWAY EAST LANSING, MI Nov. 30, 12:00 PM ET BTN The Spartans have already clinched the Legends Division title but will try to finish perfect in Big Ten regular-season play for only the third time in school history and the first since 1966. Michigan States seniors are already the schools winningest class and will be going for victory No. 40 in their careers. Minnesota looks to bounce back from last weeks 20-7 home loss to Wisconsin and secure its ninth win.The Gophers run-heavy attack will have to solve Michigan States No. 1 rush defense. MSU 27 Minnesota 17 No. 3 Ohio State (-16) at Michigan AWAY LOCATION HOME ANN ARBOR, MI Nov. 30, 12:00 PM ET The Game doesnt have nearly as much on the line as might have been anticipated, but that certainly wont make the latest edition of the storied rivalry any less intense. The Buckeyes need a win to stay undefeated and in the mix for a potential BCS championship appearance. The Wolverines have been out of the division race for a while now, but ruining a rivals perfect season would go a long way for coach Brady Hoke in silencing some of his skeptics after a rocky season. Ohio State 38 Michigan 17 No. 24 Duke (+6.5) at North Carolina AWAY LOCATION HOME CHAPEL HILL, NC Nov. 30, 12:00 PM ET There is a lot on the line this week for Duke. With a victory, Duke would clinch its first 10-win season, first outright ACC Coastal Division title and a spot opposite Florida State in the ACC title game. Both teams enter on long winning streaks. The Blue Devils have won seven in a row. Now bowl-eligible, North Carolina is looking for its sixth straight win after a 1-5 start. Duke 24 UNC 21 No. 1 Alabama (-10.5) at No. 4 Auburn AWAY LOCATION HOME AUBURN, AL Nov. 30, 3:30 PM ET CBS If the Iron Bowl wasnt big enough already, this years game features a pair of top-five teams with a trip to the SEC championship game on the line. Auburn is expecting up to 150,000 people to be on campus Saturday, proving once again why this is the best rivalry in college football. But will the multitude of fans, the atmosphere and the programs momentum be enough for the Tigers to take down No. 1 Alabama and spoil the Tides BCS title chances? AJ McCarron and CJ Mosely will be the difference on the biggest stage in college football to this point. Alabama 31 Auburn 17 No. 15 Wisconsin (-24) vs. Penn State HOME LOCATION AWAY MADISON, WI Nov. 30, 3:30 PM ET The Big Ten title is no longer a possibility for the Badgers, but theyre still holding out hope for their fourth straight spot in a BCS bowl. Gary Andersens squad is more than a three-touchdown favorite against Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have nothing more to play for than honor right now. Wisconsin boasts the eighth-best rushing attack in the nation, and Linebacker U has struggled against the Big Tens best offenses. With a victory, the Badgers could be in position to make another splash in the BCS. Wisconsin 45 Penn State 21 No. 9 Baylor (-13) at TCU AWAY LOCATION HOME FORT WORTH, TX Nov. 30, 3:30 PM ET The Bears hope to rebound after being embarrassed at Oklahoma State last weekend. Yet Baylor still has plenty to play for -- including a co-Big 12 championship -- if it wins its final two games. That goal starts Saturday against a Horned Frogs squad looking to salvage its bowl-less season by upsetting the Bears. TCU has the secondary to challenge BUs offense, much like OSU did, so think twice before automatically slotting this game into Baylors win column. Baylor 52 TCU 28 No. 8 Stanford (-14.5) vs. No. 25 Notre Dame HOME LOCATION AWAY STANFORD, CA Nov. 30, 7:00 PM ET FOX The Cardinal wrapped up their second straight Pac-12 North title by virtue of Oregons loss to Arizona. While this game has no bearing on the outcome of the Pac-12 standings or home-field advantage, the Cardinal surely remember Notre Dames goal-line stand to end the game last year. Notre Dame comes into the game having won five of its last six. Stanford 27 Notre Dame 10 No. 6 Clemson (+5) at No. 10 South Carolina AWAY LOCATION HOME COLUMBIA, SC Nov. 30, 7:00 PM ET Record-setting Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd looks for his first win against the in-state nemesis Gamecocks, who have won four straight in the series. South Carolina has its longest winning streak in the series since 1951-54. Watch for the Clemson offensive line against Jadeveon Clowney, who had a single-game school record 4.5 sacks on Boyd in their matchup last year. Clemson 28 South Carolina 24 No. 5 Missouri (-4.5) vs. No. 21 Texas A&M HOME LOCATION AWAY COLUMBIA, MO Nov. 30, 7:45 PM ET It all comes down to this for Missouri. The Tigers control their own destiny: Win and theyre in the SEC championship game. Lose and they get to watch South Carolina stroll into Atlanta. So the task is clear with a sellout crowd expected and a stadium blackout against the Aggies. Texas A&M is coming off its worst loss of the Kevin Sumlin era, a 34-10 road defeat to LSU, and is basically playing for bowl positioning and trying to work toward a second straight 10-win season. Mizzou 34 Texas A&M 27 No. 22 UCLA (+3.5) at No. 23 USC AWAY LOCATION HOME LOS ANGELES, CA Nov. 30, 8:00 PM ET The battle of Los Angeles is loaded with intrigue. USC is 6-1 since Ed Orgeron was named interim head coach -- including a 6-0 mark against the Pac-12. The South Division is no longer up for grabs, but bowl game pecking order is, along with recruiting implications and the possible job status of Orgeron. The Bruins havent won in the Coliseum since 1997. That trend will continue ! USC 38 UCLA 31 No. 12 Arizona State (-10.5) vs. Arizona HOME LOCATION AWAY TEMPE, AZ Nov. 30, 9:30 PM ET Pac-12 Network The Sun Devils have won six in a row, including a victory last week at UCLA that locked up the Pac-12 South. If ASU wins, it would host Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game. If it loses, the Cardinal will host the title game. Arizona is riding high after knocking off Oregon last week. The visiting team has won the last four matchups in the Territorial Cup series. ASU 45 Arizona 31
