PITTSBURGH (6-4) by 5 @ WAKE FOREST (5-5)
After a slow start to the season, PITT has rallied and is already Bowl eligible, and Wake is looking for that last W to join them. I don’t think it comes this weekend though. The Panthers have been rolling, and look to have found their stride. Could be a nice tight battle though.

NOTRE DAME (10-0) by 5 vs. SYRACUSE (8-2)
The Fighting Irish are trying to maintain their spotless record, but who would have thought that Syracuse would be the most likely opponent to give them a run for their money? With ERIC DUNGEY doing his best TIM TEBOW impersonation in his senior season at the ‘CUSE, they are scoring at a frenetic pace and playing just enough Defense to still win. They have scored more than 40 or more points in 7 games this season. The Irish should be able to outscore them as long as IAN BOOK, #12, is back at the helm. But this game should be fun!

DUKE (7-3) @ CLEMSON (10-0) by 11
If things click for the Dukies, then I think they may be able to hang in against Clemson… maybe until half time. I have big time respect for what DAVID CUTCLIFFE has done since taking over at Duke. I also think he has another serious pro QB prospect in DANIEL JONES, but Clemson has so much talent that I think they will bury them in the second half, if not sooner.

CINCINNATI (9-1) @ UCF (9-0) by 6
The key to this one is quite simple. If QB McKENZIE MILTON, #10 of UCF, is at 100% this could be a blow out. But if MILTON is anything less, the surprising Bearcats could burst the UCF balloon. There is more talent than many people realize at UCF, but it’s not Final Four caliber, my friends, especially up front on Defense. Great job by Luke Fickell and his staff, but don’t sell JOSH HEUPEL short for his work, with a UCF team that lost a lot of talent after SCOTT FROST left town.

#1 WR KAHLIL LEWIS 6’0/197
