First, I think I should get credit for saying 'as long as Ohio State wins by 1 point I'll be happy' - what did the Buckeyes win by? What a comeback - I hope JT finally gets the credit he's due and with the revenge from last year's epic fail at Happy Valley secured, I think the Buckeyes are ready to go on a wicked tear. I guess we'll see. So here are the games for November 4 - all games will be played on Saturday...
Ohio State -15.5 @ Iowa - The classic 'trap' game. A huge favorite coming off a classic win playing a bruised home team playing for pride. Buckeyes can't afford a hangover!
Iowa State +3.5 @ WVU - Cyclones have 2 top 5 wins but they're road dogs at Morgantown.
Virginia Tech -3 @ The U - Hurricanes are undefeated and getting 3.
Texas +7 @ TCU - Frogs looking to rebound after loss at Iowa State.
Oklahoma +3 @ Oklahoma State - Bedlam comes a few weeks early this year. Winner should have the inside track to the Big XII championship game.
LSU +22 @ Alabama - Both teams coming off byes but only one has a home loss to Troy.
Arizona +8 @ USC - Who was the leading rusher in October? Arizona QB, Khalil Tate!
Stanford +2 @ Washington State - Cardinal better get Bryce Love back on the field, they were putrid against Oregon State!
Army +5 @ Air Force - Commander in Chief Trophy implications.
Clemson -7 @ NC State - Loss at ND did nothing to hurt the 'Packs ACC title hopes, a loss to the Tigers certainly would!

The most anticipated Textile bowl in years. Clemson travels to Raleigh to face NC State - a team that has notched wins over Florida State and Louisville, teams that were ranked 12th and 17th when they faced the Wolfpack.
Both Clemson and NCST previously benefited from these wins prior to last week, however FSU and Louisville have combined to go just 7-9 (5-9 when you exclude Louisville’s wins over Murray State and Kent State).
The Irish used a powerful rushing game to grind 318 yards on the Pack. For most of the year, Finley has been able to sit in the pocket and throw, but not against ND. Notre Dame is tied for 38th in the nation with 19 sacks.
Clemson is #1 with a whopping 32 sacks. Safe to say the Wolfpack have not played a defense like Clemson’s, which ranks #3 in the S&P+ advanced stats.
The S&P+ defensive rankings of their past opponents are as follows:
•Notre Dame #18 •Marshall #19 •FSU #40 •South Carolina #47 •Syracuse #60 •Pittsburgh #91

Arizona - The Wildcats have been on fire since inserting Tate at QB, he's been unstoppable.
Clemson - I've never really thought NC State was an elite team. Wins over FSU and Louisville aren't very impressive given the struggles those teams have had. Another butt whipping for the Pack this week.
Oklahoma State - I picked the Cowboys at the start of the year so I have to stay with them. I will say I'd love to see Ohio State get another shot at the Sooners in the playoffs but a lot has to fall in place for that to happen. So this week the 'pistols are firing!'
Virginia Tech - This is the week the luck runs out for The U.
Ohio State - Buckeyes need to start fast and let the Hawkeyes know they're in for a long day, I think they will - Iowa's QB gets sacked a minimum of 5 times.

These are some tough picks.
VT @ Miami: F+ Rankings: 15 vs 14, S&P: 15 vs 14, FEI: 17 vs 15 Oklahoma @ Oklahoma St: F+ Rankings: 12 vs 10, S&P: 13 vs 8, FEI: 6 vs 11 Arizona @ USC: F+ Rankings: 23 vs 18, S&P: 30 vs 20, FEI: 21 vs 18 Stanford @ Washington St: F+ Rankings: 19 vs 20, S&P: 19 vs 23, FEI: 22 vs 25
However, I think home field advantage will play a lot into these picks.
Clemson @ NCST F+: 5 (CU) vs 18 (NC St), S&P: 3 vs 35, FEI: 2 vs 23.
