  • Saturday's SEC Tip Sheet
    November 11, 2016



    **Auburn at Georgia**


    -- Auburn remains alive for everything going into this Saturday’s SEC showdown between the hedges with Georgia. As of late Friday afternoon, most books had Auburn (7-2 straight up, 7-2 against the spread) installed as a 10-point favorite with a total of 48. Gamblers could take UGA on the money line for a monster +320 return (risk $100 to win $320).

    -- Since 2002, Georgia (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) has only been a home underdog three times. The Bulldogs covered in their lone home ‘dog spot this year, taking the cash as 3.5-point ‘dogs in a 34-31 home loss to Tennessee.

    -- Georgia had lost four of its last five games going into Lexington last week, but it knocked off Kentucky 27-24 as a 2.5-point road favorite. The 51 combined points slipped ‘under’ the 52-point tally. Rodrigo Blankenship booted a walk-off 25-yard field goal to secure the victory as time expired. Blankenship had already connected on three kicks from 49, 42 and 25 yards out. UGA enjoyed a 460-308 advantage over UK in total yards, but three lost fumbles allowed the Wildcats to hang around. True freshman QB Jacob Eason completed 17-of-31 passes for 245 yards and one TD without an interception. Sony Michel ran for 127 yards and one TD on 19 totes, while Nick Chubb finished with 85 rushing yards on 21 attempts.

    -- Eason has been up and down, but he has all the makings of a QB who will play on Sundays for a long time. He has connected on 53.3 percent of his passes for 1,754 yards with an 11/5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Isaiah McKenzie has 32 receptions for 459 yards and six TDs.

    -- Chubb has rushed for a team-best 691 yards and five TDs while averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Michel has 487 rushing yards and two TDs with a 5.1 YPC average.

    -- Auburn has won six consecutive games while cashing tickets at a 5-1 ATS clip. Gus Malzahn’s squad has been particularly sharp on the road, winning 38-14 at Mississippi St. and 40-29 at Ole Miss.

    -- Auburn was fortunate to capture a 23-16 win over Vanderbilt last week as a 23.5-point home ‘chalk.’ The Tigers played the first half without starting QB Sean White, who had not practiced all week due to a shoulder injury. However, with Vandy ahead 13-10 at intermission, White gave it a go in the second half. He completed 10-of-13 passes for 106 yards and one TD without an interception. Kamryn Pettway rushed 25 times for 173 yards, but he pulled up lame with a hamstring injury on a long run that would’ve been a TD to put the game on ice. But when Pettway went down, Vandy’s defense held and forced a field-goal attempt. That kick was blocked on a sensational play by Zach Cunningham, who timed it perfect and leaped over the offensive guard without making contact and easily blocked the attempt. Then the Commodores penetrated into Auburn territory in the final minute thanks to a first-down pass off a deflection on a fourth-and-18 play. But Kyle Shurmur, who played the best game of his career, made his only mistake and was intercepted inside the red zone. Nevertheless, Vandy easily took the cash as the double-digit ‘dog.

    -- White has been the SEC’s biggest surprise. He has completed 69.1 percent of his passes for 1,617 yards with a 9/2 TD-INT ratio. He has rushed for 145 yards and a pair of scores. White’s favorite target is Tony Stevens, who has 24 receptions for 408 yards and three TDs.

    -- Pettway leads the SEC in rushing with 1,106 yards and seven TDs. He averages 6.4 YPC. Pettway is listed as ‘questionable’ at UGA and will likely be a game-time decision. If he can’t go, the ground game should be in good hands with Kerryon Johnson, who has rushed for 616 yards and nine TDs while averaging 4.9 YPC.

    -- Auburn has compiled a 5-2 spread record in seven games as a road favorite during Malzahn’s tenure.

    -- UGA has lost two of its three home games both SU and ATS this year.

    -- Georgia is ranked 16th in the country in total defense and 20th in rush defense.

    -- The ‘under’ has cashed at a 6-3 overall clip for UGA, going 2-1 in its three home outings. The Bulldogs have seen their games average combined scores of 49.6 points per game.

    -- The ‘under’ is 5-4 overall for Auburn, 1-1 in its road assignments.

    -- Kickoff in Athens is slated for 3:30 p.m. Eastern on CBS.

    LSU at Arkansas**


    -- As of late Friday afternoon, most spots had LSU (5-3 SU, 3-5 ATS) installed as a seven-point road favorite with a total of 46. The Razorbacks were available to win outright for a payout in the +240 neighborhood.

    -- Arkansas (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) bounced back from its worst loss during Bret Bielema’s tenure to spank Florida 31-10 as a 3.5-point home underdog last week. The 41 combined points dipped ‘under’ the 44-point total. Santos Ramirez put the Razorbacks on the board first with a 24-yard pick-six off of Luke Del Rio on the Gators’ first play from scrimmage. Rawleigh Williams rushed for 148 yards and two TDs on 26 carries, while Austin Allen threw for 243 yards and one TD. Drew Morgan had a game-high seven receptions for 95 yards and one TD.

    -- Arkansas is 5-2 ATS with four outright victories in its last seven games as a home ‘dog. The Hogs have won five of six home games this year while going 3-3 ATS. The only defeat at home came to top-ranked Alabama.

    -- Arkansas junior QB Austin Allen has completed 61.8 percent of his passes for 2,291 yards with a 19/8 TD-INT ratio. He throws to one of the nation’s best and most underrated group of WRs led by Morgan, who has hauled in 48 receptions for 515 yards and three TDs. Jared Cornelius has 24 catches for 465 yards and four TDs, while Keon Hatcher has 29 grabs for 441 yards and five TDs. Jeremy Sprinkle has made 23 catches for 266 yards and four TDs after replacing Chargers’ rookie Hunter Henry at the tight end position.

    -- Williams has rushed for 955 yards and seven TDs while averaging 5.3 YPC. Devwah Whaley is a solid back-up, producing 383 yards and one score while averaging 5.4 YPC.

    -- LSU is off a heartbreaking 10-0 loss to Alabama as a seven-point home underdog. The defense was spectacular, but the offense was a train wreck and special teams didn’t help much, either. The offense produced merely six first downs, 125 total yards and 33 rushing yards on 27 attempts. Leonard Fournette was limited to 35 rushing yards on 17 carries. The game remained scoreless until Alabama freshman QB Jalen Hurts ran for a 21-yard score with 13:08 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide tacked on a 25-yard field goal from Adam Griffith to put the game on ice with 2:41 left. The Tigers have now lost six in a row to Alabama.

    -- Before falling to the Tide, LSU had won three straight games since the dismissal of Les Miles following an 18-13 loss at Auburn. Interim head coach Ed Orgeron remain in the mix as a candidate for the full-time gig, but he won’t be much longer if the Tigers can’t get a victory in Fayetteville. Orgeron led them to home wins over Missouri (42-7), So. Miss (45-10) and Ole Miss (38-21), but this will be their first game on the road with ‘Coach O’ calling the shots. They haven’t left Baton Rouge since the loss on The Plains, and their only other road outing was the 16-14 loss to Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in the opener.

    -- Fournette missed three games, but he returned against the Rebels to rush for a school-record 284 yards and three TDs on just 16 carries. For the season, Fournette has 705 rushing yards and five TDs with a 7.0 YPC average. He also has 13 catches for 102 yards. Derrius Guice has rushed for 629 yards and seven TDs while averaging 7.9 YPC.

    -- Purdue grad transfer Danny Etling has been the starting QB since Week 3. Etling has connected on 58.5 percent of his throws for 1,221 yards with a 7/4 TD-INT ratio.

    -- Arkansas has dominated LSU in the last two meetings, including a 31-14 win in Baton Rouge last year. When they collided in Fayetteville two seasons ago, the Hogs dealt out cream-cheese treatment in the form of a 17-0 clubbing.

    -- The ‘under’ is 5-4 overall for Arkansas, 5-1 in its home games. The Hogs have seen their games average combined scores of 59.9 PPG.

    -- The ‘under’ is 6-0-2 overall for the Tigers, who have seen their games average combined scores of 40.5 PPG.

    -- ESPN will have the broadcast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

    **B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**


    -- Florida is somehow a double-digit home favorite vs. South Carolina. The Gators have limped to a 3-6 spread record in nine double-digit ‘chalk’ spots since Jim McElwain took over for his counterpart this weekend, Will Muschamp. The Gamecocks have ripped off three consecutive wins since Muschamp made the best decision of his head-coaching career. With South Carolina going into an open date with a 2-4 record, Muschamp elected to take the redshirt off of four-star freshman recruit Jake Bentley, who has responded by playing lights out and leading the ‘Cocks to three straight wins. Bentley has completed 73.0 percent of his passes for 622 yards and six TDs without an interception. Indeed, there’s just a tad bit of irony in the fact that Muschamp returns to The Swamp with what appears to be a beautiful QB situation set up not just for the present, but also for the next 2-3 seasons. Don’t bring up the phrase ‘QB situation’ in Gainesville these days. That’s because we’re now deep into the seventh season of UF getting deplorable play at the most important position on the field. Since Tim Tebow graduated in 2009, the following players have taken snaps: Trey Burton, Jordan Reed, John Brantley, Jeff Driskel, Jacoby Brissett, Tyler Murphy, Skyler Mornhingweg, Treon Harris, Will Grier, Luke Del Rio and Austin Appleby. None has enjoyed any sustained success like former UF QBs such as Steve Spurrier, John Reaves, Wayne Peace, Kerwin Bell, Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, Rex Grossman, Chris Leak and Tebow.

    -- Adding to UF’s woes is a laundry list of injured players. Before getting spanked 31-10 at Arkansas, UF had the nation’s second-ranked defense. However, that unit won’t have its two leading tacklers against USC. Senior LB Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Alex Anzalone (broken forearm) are ‘out’ along with Del Rio (shoulder) and starting junior center Cam Dillard. In addition, sophomore DE CeCe Jefferson will be a game-time decision. Austin Appleby will get his third start of the season. The grad transfer from Purdue has three TD passes compared to just one interception. CBS will have the kick from Steve Spurrier Field at noon Eastern.

    -- If my remarks above didn’t make it clear, I’m all over South Carolina catching the double-digit number. And as much as it pains me to say it, nobody should be shocked if the Gamecocks cash money-line tickets in the +350ish range.

    -- Regardless of whether his team wins or loses, Muschamp will – as always – be a class act on Saturday. (Yes, I don’t dock anyone class points when they angrily cuss at refs after they make incompetent calls.)

    -- VegasInsider.com learned early Friday that Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze has decided to take the redshirt off of five-star freshman recruit Shea Patterson and start him Saturday night at Texas A&M. With star senior QB Chad Kelly suffering a season-ending injury in last week’s non-covering home win over Ga. Southern, the 4-5 Rebels were left to make a tough call. But was it really that difficult to go this way? First of all, if Patterson is ‘as advertised,’ he’s not going to be around for a fourth year anyway. Secondly, with probation looming, most of the momentum earned during Freeze’s tenure basically evaporates if Ole Miss doesn’t go bowling. These are three extremely important games remaining on the regular-season slate, and the Rebels have to win two of them to get invited to the postseason. They are 10-point ‘dogs to the Aggies, who fell from No. 4 in the College Football rankings after losing 35-28 at Mississippi St. as 10.5-point road ‘chalk’ last week.

    -- The loss was costly for Kevin Sumlin’s team in more ways than one. Trevor Knight, who was enjoying a banner season after transferring over from Oklahoma, sustained a season-ending shoulder injury against the Bulldogs.

    -- Ole Miss owns a 6-3 spread record in nine games as a road ‘dog on Freeze’s watch.

    -- After getting out of RedStick unscathed with a 10-0 victory compliments of a spectacular defensive performance, top-ranked and undefeated Alabama moves on from LSU to a home game with Mississippi St. at noon Eastern on ESPN. Most spots have the Tide tagged as a 29-point home favorite.

    -- Tennessee is a 14-point home favorite vs. Kentucky. If the Vols can win out (they won’t because I believe they’re going to lose to Vandy), they’ll win the SEC East if UF loses one of its two remaining league games (vs. USC and at LSU). Butch Jones has indicated that RB Alvin Kamara will return to the lineup vs. UK. Also, there’s a chance CB Cam Sutton may play for the first time since getting injured in a 28-19 home win over Ohio in Week 3. Malik Foreman remains a question mark.

      • College football four-point stance: Week 11 pointspread picks and prediction

        Joe Fortenbaugh was 4-0 ATS last Saturday, is 10-2 ATS the last three weeks of college football, and sits 25-15 ATS (62.5%) with his picks on the NCAAF season.

        Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t bet on Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines in their matchup with Iowa this weekend.

        No rush, I’ve got all the time in the world.

        Perhaps the most buttoned-up program in college football outside of Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide, the Wolverines have been an absolute wrecking ball in Year 2 of the Harbaugh administration.

        Through nine outings, Michigan is obliterating the opposition by an average of 37.3 points per game and now finds itself just 12 quarters - including one big showdown with Ohio State - away from a spot in the four-team playoff.

        Those are preciously the results one should expect from a defensive unit that ranks tops in the country in yardage (246.0 yds/gm) and points (10.7 pts/gm) surrendered per game this season.

        As for the Hawkeyes, well, what can you say? Iowa’s 2016 resume includes a loss to FCS North Dakota State (23-21) as a 14.5-point home favorite, a squeaker of a victory against a lousy 2-7 Rutgers squad (14-7), and back-to-back defeats at the hands of Wisconsin (17-9) and Penn State (41-14).

        Further, the Hawkeyes are an abysmal 1-9-1 ATS over their last 11 home games, 1-5 ATS over their last six games following a loss and 2-5 ATS over their last seven showdowns with Michigan.

        But I’m still open to any and all reasons as to why I shouldn’t love a Michigan blowout on Saturday.

        Pick: Michigan -21.5


        Wyoming Cowboys at UNLV Rebels


        When: Saturday, November 12 at 3:00 p.m. ET
        Spread: Wyoming -7.5

        If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

        We’ve been all over the Cowboys and vastly underrated head coach Craig Bohl this season and for good reason. After a 2-2 start to the 2016 campaign, Wyoming has ripped off five straight victories by an average of 12.8 points per game.

        What’s even more impressive is that the Cowboys have covered the spread in each of those five aforementioned outings while beating the closing spread by an average of 17.2 points per game.

        UNLV may have the luxury of an extra week of rest heading into this matchup, but the Rebels are coming off back-to-back losses to Colorado State and San Jose State, two showdowns in which UNLV was listed as a favorite. The Rebels are now 3-6 SU and 4-5 ATS on the season and we don’t see much of a reason to believe that this will be the week in which the program gets back on track.

        Be advised that Wyoming is 4-1 ATS over its last five games against UNLV, while the Rebels are 0-6 ATS over their last six showdowns against teams with a winning record and 3-9 ATS over their last 12 conference outings.

        Pick: Wyoming -7.5


        Minnesota Golden Gophers at Nebraska Cornhuskers


        When: Saturday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET
        Spread: Nebraska -7

        Blink and you may have missed it, but thanks to four straight victories, Minnesota has very quietly compiled an impressive 7-2 record that has the Golden Gophers tied with both Wisconsin and Nebraska atop the Big Ten’s Western division at 4-2.

        But here’s the kicker: the Golden Gophers are in the driver’s seat and control their own destiny heading into the program’s final three regular season battles of the 2016 campaign.

        Nebraska, on the other hand, is reeling in a big-time way after suffering back-to-back defeats at Wisconsin (23-17) and at Ohio State (62-3) following a perfect 7-0 start to the season.

        If the wheels falling off the bus at the worst possible time wasn’t enough to issue a “Sell Order” on the Cornhuskers, don’t forget that quarterback Tommy Armstrong exited last Saturday night’s blowout defeat at Ohio State on a stretcher. Armstrong is currently in the school’s concussion protocol and may be unable to go for this matchup with the Gophers.

        Minnesota is 5-0-1 ATS over its last six road dates and 21-5 ATS over its last 26 games played in the month of November, while Nebraska is 2-5 ATS over it last seven home games against teams with a winning road record.

        Pick: Minnesota +7


        California Golden Bears at Washington State Cougars


        When: Saturday, November 12 at 10:30 p.m. ET
        Total: 83

        After hanging 614 yards and 69 points on Rich Rodriguez’s Arizona Wildcats last Saturday night, the red-hot Washington State Cougars - winners of seven straight - are no doubt foaming at the mouth over this weekend’s showdown with a California defense that has surrendered 51.7 points per game over its last four outings.

        The Golden Bears’ defensive unit has been absolutely brutal in 2016, which is the primary reason why the Over has cashed in seven of Cal’s nine games this season. But Cal’s offense, led by transfer quarterback Davis Webb, has been no slouch when it comes to flying up and down the gridiron on a weekly basis.

        The Bears are averaging 39.6 points per game on the season, but should experience an uptick in the scoring department Saturday night thanks to the return of wide receiver Chad Hansen, who has notched a ridiculous 64 receptions for 840 yards and nine scores in just seven contests this year.

        These two teams have combined to average an insane 164 plays per game in 2016. To put that in perspective, last Saturday night’s SEC showdown between Alabama and LSU featured a total of 121 offensive snaps. More plays = more offense = more points.

        To that simple equation, the Over is 5-1 in Washington State’s last six games overall and 10-4 in the Cougars’ last 14 home showdowns, while the Over is 5-1 in Cal’s last six road dates and 6-1 in the Bears’ last seven outings following an ATS loss.

        Pick: Over 83

        Last week: 4-0 ATS
        Season: 25-15 ATS (62.5%)

            • Saturday's NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet and odds: Week 11

              Colorado take their Top 10 defense to Arizona. They'll have to cover 15.5-points, but are 4-0 ATS on the road this season.

              We're on to Week 11 of the college football season and the full slate of games can be tough to navigate for bettors. So we bring you our Top 25 betting cheat sheet to handicap the best games of the day.

              Baylor at No. 11 Oklahoma (-16, 80)

              * The Bears' season is teetering after back-to-back losses at Texas (35-34) and last week at home to TCU (62-22), a contest that saw Baylor surrender 688 yards, including 431 rushing. Senior Shock Linwood, who has rotated with Terence Williams and JaMycal Hasty for the lead running back role, has rushed for 594 yards through eight games this season to give him a school career record 4,056, but he was suspended for this week's game by acting head coach Jim Grobe after a sideline dustup with a graduate-assistant coach. The Bears will need a big game from senior quarterback Seth Russell who has passed for 1,978 yards, 19 touchdowns and six interceptions while also rushing for 436 yards and eight touchdowns so far this season and will be going against an Oklahoma defense that ranks 122nd nationally in passing yards allowed per game (297.7).

              * Junior quarterback Baker Mayfield, who finished fourth in Heisman Trophy balloting a year ago, is having another outstanding season, completing 71.2 percent of his passes for 2,912 yards and 31 touchdowns against only six interceptions. It helps when you have a wide receiver like explosive senior Dede Westbrook, who has 40 catches for 1,012 yards and 12 touchdowns since the start of Big 12 play on Oct. 1, and a running back duo like Joe Mixon (813 yards, 5 TDs) and Samaje Perine (475 yards, 6 TDs), to work with. The Sooners' defense, which has started 22 different players this season due to a rash of injuries, is led by junior outside linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, who ranks third in the Big 12 and 20th nationally with an average of 0.9 sacks per game, and cornerback Jordan Thomas, who ranks second in the nation with 1.7 passes defended per game.

              LINE HISTORY: Oklahoma opened as 14.5-point home favorites and as the week went along the spread has risen to 16. The total opened at 80 and has remained at that number all week. View complete line history here.

              TRENDS:

              Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.
              Over is 6-1 in Bears last 7 games following a straight up loss.
              Under is 4-1 in Bears last 5 games following a ATS loss.
              Bears are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Oklahoma.

              Mississippi State vs No.1 Alabama (-28.5, 55)

              * Sophomore quarterback Nick Fitzgerald accounted for four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing) and passed for 209 yards and rushed for 182 as the Bulldogs cruised up and down the field against Texas A&M. Fitzgerald has thrown for 1,705 yards and 16 touchdowns and rushed for 839 yards and eight scores and his favorite target is senior wideout Fred Ross (54 receptions for 641 yards), who leads the SEC with nine touchdown catches and has caught at least one pass in 31 consecutive contests. Senior defensive end A.J. Jefferson is fifth in school history with 34.5 tackles for loss - including 10 this season - while senior middle linebacker Richie Brown has a team-best 76 tackles.

              * The Crimson Tide allow just 13.2 points per game and dominated LSU's offense in their first game without standout senior strong safety Eddie Jackson (broken leg). Sophomore Minkah Fitzpatrick was moved from cornerback to strong safety and he recorded his team-leading fourth interception of the season, while senior defensive end Jonathan Allen and senior outside linebacker Tim Williams share the team lead with seven sacks. Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts is effectively guiding the offense and has passed for 1,656 yards and 11 touchdowns and added 635 yards and 10 scores on the ground.

              LINE HISTORY: The Crimson Tide opened as 29-point home favorites and by Thursday has dropped to 28.5. The total opened at 55.5 and went down to 55. View complete line history here.

              TRENDS:

              Crimson Tide are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 conference games.

              No.16 West Virginia at Texas (-2, 64)

              * The Mountaineers may be without running back Rushel Shell (503 yards, five touchdowns), who missed last week with an ankle injury, but a balanced offense was sparked last week by rushing efforts from Justin Crawford (129 yards) and Kennedy McKoy (127). Quarterback Skyler Howard, who had a 260-yard, three touchdown game last week, has completed 65.1 percent of his passes for 2,293 yards and 16 TDs. The senior connected for 104 yards to Daikiel Shorts and 102 to Shelton Gibson against Kansas.

              * The Longhorns may have salvaged their season on the recent strength of their improved defensive play after coach Charlie Strong took control of the play-calling four games ago. Foreman surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark in 10 straight games and with 1,446 yards this season averages 180.8 per game. The effectiveness of freshman quarterback Shane Buechele (2,257 yards, 19 touchdowns) to set up the run game could be as effective as Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph in leading the Cowboys to victory over West Virginia two weeks ago.

              No.10 Penn State at Indiana (7.5, 59.5)

              * Barkley (conference-leading 1,055 yards rushing, 13 total touchdowns), rushed for 167 yards and scored twice last week in the 41-14 win over Iowa. McSorley (55.6 completion percentage, 14 TDs, three interceptions) is second in the Big Ten in yards per attempt (8.5) and interception percentage (1.2) and has found a new deep threat in Saeed Blacknall, who has three catches for 96 yards in the last three weeks. Led by a revitalized and deep front seven, the Lions have yielded a combined 76 yards rushing the past two weeks, marking the first time Penn State had ever held back-to-back Big Ten opponents to fewer than 50 yards rushing.

              * Lagow, a 6-6 junior, passed for 394 yards and three TDs in last week’s 33-27 victory over Rutgers but also threw two of his 13 interceptions on the season. Wide receivers Nick Westbrook (78.7 yards per game) and Ricky Jones (75.7) rank in the top five in the Big Ten, while Devine Redding is sixth in the league with 793 rushing yards - good for a 4.8 average. Linebacker Tegray Scales ranks second in FBS with 7.1 solo tackles per game, defensive back Rashard Fant leads the country with 1.8 passes defended per game and linebacker Marcus Oliver ranks tied for fifth in FBS with 0.44 forced fumbles per game.

              LINE HISTORY: Penn State opened the week as 6.5-point road favorites and that spread was up to 7.5 by Thursday. The total opened a 58.5 went up to 59.5 before dropping to 58. View complete line history here.

              Pittsburgh at No. 2 Clemson (20.5, 65.5)

              * The Panthers are tough in the trenches, as they lean on star running back James Conner on offense and do an excellent job of shutting down opposing ground games. The Panthers also boast one of the nation’s top return men in Quadree Henderson, who leads the nation in kickoff return average (33.8 yards) and kickoff return touchdowns (three). Defensive end Ejuan Price anchors the defense and ranks third in the nation in sacks (1.0) and tackles for loss (1.78) per game.

              * The Tigers suffered a scare when star quarterback Deshaun Watson left last week’s game with a bruised right shoulder, but it looks as though he will be ready to go Saturday. Watson is the catalyst for an electric offense that also features a dangerous running back in Wayne Gallman. The Tigers are equally as impressive on defense and especially tough against the pass, but if they have a slight weakness it is stopping the run (132.8 yards allowed per game), which could be a problem against Conner and the Panthers.

              LINE HISTORY: The Tigers opened as 20-point home favorites and the line has crept up to 20.5/ The total opened at 66.5 and quickly jumped to 67 and than came down a full point to 66 as of Thursday. View complete line history here.

              Georgia Tech at No. 14 Virginia Tech (-14, 55)

              * Running back Clinton Lynch is one of the more explosive players in the ACC, averaging 17.2 yards per touch (298 yards rushing on 28 carries; 12 receptions for 389 yards) and scoring a touchdown in each of the past four games. Thomas, who is expected to play Saturday, rushed for 82 yards and passed for 144 yards last week after recording 459 yards of total offense against Duke on Oct. 29. But the defense gave up 9.1 yards per play against North Carolina and has surrendered 35 points or more in four of the past five games.

              * The Hokies average 444.4 yards of total offense per game, topping 450 yards six times in nine games, and have scored 39 points per game in their seven victories. A trio of receivers – Bucky Hodges, Isaiah Ford and Cam Phillips – have combined for 119 receptions for 1,753 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Evans has passed for 21 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Virginia Tech’s defense ranks 18th nationally in points allowed per game (20.2).

              No. 9 Auburn at Georgia (10,48)

              * The Tigers dodged Vanderbilt’s upset bid thanks in part to their defense, which held the Commodores to three points and 135 yards of total offense in the second half. Pettway has averaged 192.5 rushing yards per game with six touchdowns in his past four games, and has topped 100 yards six times in eight games this season. White looked solid in completing 10-of-13 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown after the offense struggled under John Franklin III in the first two quarters.

              * The Bulldogs rebounded from a dreadful offensive performance against Florida (164 yards of total offense), finishing with 460 yards against the Wildcats as Eason completed 17-of-31 passes for 245 yards. Georgia’s rushing attack has sputtered throughout much of the season, but Sony Michel (127 yards) and Nick Chubb (85 yards) combined to average 5.3 yards per carry last week. Georgia’s defense ranks third in the SEC against the run (118.2 yards per game), but faces a strong test against the nation’s third-best rushing attack (Auburn averages 299.8 yards rushing per contest).

Jonathan Giles is tied for the Big 12 lead with 12 touchdown receptions and is second with 60 catches and 982 yards. The Red Raiders, who allow 236 rushing yards, rank 124th nationally in scoring defense (41.8) and 126th in total defense (533.9).

              * Mason Rudolph (2,989 yards, 22 TDs, four INTs) is second in the league in passing and has two of the league's leading receivers. James Washington (50 catches, 974 yards, eight TDs) and Jalen McCleskey (57 catches, 670 yards, six TDs) rank third and eighth, respectively, in yards per game.

              No. 5 Ohio State at Maryland (29.5, 57.5)

              * Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett has 21 touchdowns and four interceptions, including four TDs without a pick against Nebraska. He has gone three straight games without an interception and likely will continue to target Samuel, who has 29 catches over the last four outings. Barrett needs two total touchdowns to break the Big Ten record set by ex-Purdue star Drew Brees (95).

              * The Terrapins' 4-0 start is barely a memory at this point following a 1-4 stretch capped by a hideous 59-3 loss to Michigan last weekend. Maryland trailed 35-0 at halftime, promnpting Durkin to say: "It's disheartening that we didn't compete. It's hard for me to say that and to even acknowledge that." Quarterback Perry Hills is day-to-day with a shoulder injury, giving Caleb Rowe another shot under center if Hills can't go.

              Illinois at No.7 Wisconsin (26.5, 39)

              * The Fighting Illini haven't won back-to-back conference games since the final two of 2014, but are in position after knocking off Michigan State last week, 31-27, getting a career-high 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns from running back Kendrick Foster. The Badgers will present an immense challenge for the Illinois run game, as their run defense is tops in the Big Ten and No. 5 in the nation at 101.2 rushing yards surrendered per game. If the Fighting Illini choose to air it out against Wisconsin, they may have to do so without leading receiver Malik Turner, who missed Saturday's game with a concussion.

              * The Badgers could be shorthanded on offense as well, as right tackle Jacob Maxwell and fullback Austin Ramesh remain questionable with right shoulder injuries. On the defensive side, nose guard Olive Sagapolu will miss his fourth straight game due to injury and that side of the ball was already banged up after starting inside linebackers Chris Orr and Jack Cichy were lost for the season because of injuries. T.J. Edwards, Ryan Connelly and Leon Jacobs have stepped in and kept the defense humming along.

              Wake Forest at No. 6 Louisville (34.5, 54.5)

              * With Clawson announcing this week that opening-day starter Kendall Hinton would miss the rest of the season with a setback in his sprained left knee, quarterback John Walford (11 total TDs, seven interceptions) will lead the Deacons the rest of the way and is coming off his first interception-free game in four contests. Cameron Glenn (four tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception) and Jessie Bates (four tackles, an interception, a pass breakup) took home the conference’s Defensive Back and Rookie of the Week honors, respectively, for their performances last week. Defensive end Duke Ejiofor and linebacker Marquel Lee are one of two duos across the country to rank inside the top 12 in tackles for loss (13 apiece).

              * Jackson accounted for seven scores (four passing, three running) for the third time this season - no other player in FBS has done it more than once - to give him a NCAA-best 45 total scores for the season, while his 30-point-per-game average is higher than the scoring average for 70 FBS teams. Running back Brandon Radcliff has 627 yards and has a legitimate shot at giving the Cardinals their first set of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season in school history. Linebacker James Hearns moved into a three-way tie for first in the country by forcing his fifth fumble last week and leads the team with six sacks, while sophomore cornerback Jaire Alexander is tied for second in the country with five interceptions.

              No. 22 Boise State at Hawaii (17.5, 63.5)

              * The Broncos fell behind in the Mountain Division with a 30-28 loss at Wyoming on Oct. 29 in which they were outgained on the ground 215-159. Boise State made rushing the focus last week against San Jose State and piled up 298 yards on the ground in the 45-31 victory as Jeremy McNichols (159 yards, two TDs) got some help from freshman Alexander Mattison (100 yards, 1 TD). Quarterback Brett Rypien, who did not throw a TD pass and was intercepted once at Wyoming, bounced back as well by posting a season-best 76.2 completion percentage with three TDs and no picks.

              * McNichols and Mattison should not have much trouble finding running lanes against the Rainbow Warriors defense, which is being gashed for an average of 259.2 yards on the ground - 124th in FBS. Hawaii quarterback Dru Brown was intercepted a total of three times in his first eight games and matched that number last week at San Diego State, when he was replaced by Aaron Zwahlen after throwing his third pick. Zwahlen, a freshman, went 3-for-10 for 32 yards and an interception in the first action of his college career.

              LINE HISTORY: The Broncos opened as 17.5-road favorites and briefly dropped to 17 before retiring to 17.5. The total hit the board at 63.5 and that number has been fine with bettors all week. View complete line history here.

              No. 24 Louisiana State at No. 25 Arkansas (7, 46.5)

              * Tigers seniors will leave the program having never beaten Alabama after the team was shut out for the first time since a 17-0 loss at Arkansas on Nov. 15, 2014. Star running back Leonard Fournette, then a freshman, rushed for a career-low nine yards in that 2014 game and failed to crack 100 in a home loss to the Razorbacks last season, making Arkansas and Alabama the lone SEC teams that regularly prevent him from taking over the game. Quarterback Danny Etling suffered through his worst game of the season last week, completing 11-of-24 passes for 92 yards and an interception.

              * The Razorbacks were crushed 56-3 at Auburn on Oct. 22 and used the bye the following week to focus on the defense. Arkansas did not allow an offensive touchdown in the win over Florida and cut its rushing yards allowed from 543 against Auburn to 12 against the Gators after mixing up the personnel along the line during the bye. The Razorbacks offense goes as running back Rawleigh Williams III goes, and he is averaging 151.3 yards in the last three wins and 49 yards in the last three losses.

              LINE HISTORY: The Tigers opened as 6.5-road favorites and was bet up to 7.5 before settling at 7 when this cheat sheet was put together. The total opened at 46 and has risen a half point to 46.5. View complete line history here.

              No. 20 Southern California at No. 4 Washington (-9.5, 62.5)

              * Darnold has thrown 18 touchdown pass and topped 300 yards three times during the winning streak that has displayed that the Trojans have a star quarterback in the making. Overall, he has passed for 1,874 yards and 20 touchdowns against four interceptions and he is mixing well with standout junior wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has 48 receptions for 641 yards and eight touchdowns. Sophomore inside linebacker Cameron Smith leads the defense with 63 tackles while sophomore outside linebacker Gustin Porter has a team-best 7.5 tackles for losses.

              * Sophomore quarterback Jake Browning matched his own school record with six touchdown passes in last week's win over California and he also holds the single-season mark of 34 passing scores. Browning, who has passed for 2,273 yards, regularly teams up with junior wideouts John Ross (44 reception, 14 touchdowns) and Dante Pettis (37 catches, 11 scores), while sophomore running back Myles Gaskins (952 yards) is closing in on his second consecutive 1,000-yard season. The defense suffered a huge blow with news that senior outside linebacker Joe Mathis (team-best five sacks) is done for the campaign and needs shoulder surgery.

              Mississippi at No. 8 Texas A&M (-10, 54.5)

              * Pellerin went 1-of-5 for 19 yards and an interception in relief of Kelly last week. "I think that with a week of practice it can be expanded from what you saw the other night, but will it be what Chad (Kelly) has done? Probably not," Rebels coach Hugh Freeze told reporters. "Regardless of who goes at quarterback whether it is him, (Markell) Pack, whoever, Jeremy Liggins, Shea Patterson, it would be crazy for us to expect to carry the whole playbook into this game. We need to pick the things we really like and the things he feels good about, (Jason) Pellerin, and his preparation and go with those." Pellerin will try to lean on running back Akeem Judd, who ran for a career-high 139 yards last week.

              * Knight sparked the Aggies offense as much with his legs (10 rushing TDs) as with his arm (13 passing TDs), and Jake Hubenak will be asked to run a similar offense. "Jake's not as fast but is effective," Sumlin told reporters. "Will probably change some of the things we do a little bit. Although many are designed runs, some of them weren't. Trevor had the ability to take the ball down and do some things. QB read game isn't the same for everybody." Hubenak went 11-of-17 for 222 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in relief last week but totaled just two yards on seven carries.

              Minnesota at No. 19 Nebraska (-7, 48)

              * Sophomore running back Rodney Smith leads the conference with 13 rushing touchdowns and has topped 100 yards in every game during the winning streak, finding the end zone eight times over that stretch. Mitch Leidner (1,505 passing yards, 12 total TDs), who is the only quarterback in school history to pass and run for at least 30 touchdowns, accumulated a season-high 305 total yards and scored a pair of rushing touchdowns in last week's triumph. The Gophers will be shorthanded on defense this week as Cody Poock (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery in the near future, while fellow linebacker Nick Rallis must sit out the first half Saturday as a result of the targeting penalty that led to his ejection near the end of last week's win.

              * If Armstrong is unable to pass concussion protocol in time, the Cornhuskers would turn to senior Ryker Fyfe, who went 5-of-18 for 52 yards with an interception against Ohio State and does not pose nearly the same kind of running threat (16 career carries for 20 yards) as Armstrong. Cethan Carter returned from a three-game absence due to an elbow injury and was one of only three players to catch a pass versus Ohio State; the senior has 52 career receptions and could work his way up to second place on the school's all-time list among tight ends if he can manage 16 more catches over the final four games. Senior safety Nate Gerry finished with a season-high tying nine tackles and needs 30 more to pass Mike Brown (287; 1996-99) for the most by a defensive back in school history.

              No. 3 Michigan at Iowa (21.5, 50.5)

              * Speight was named the Big Ten co-Offensive Player of the Week after completing 19-of-24 passes for a career-high 362 yards and two touchdowns in the lopsided win against Maryland. Jake Butt continues to make his case for the Mackey Award, catching five passes for 76 yards against the Terrapins to break the Wolverines' all-time record for receiving yards by a tight end, passing the legendary Jim Mandich, who accumulated 1,508 from 1967-69. Amara Darboh, who had four receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown last weekend, was added to the 15-man shortlist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the most outstanding receiver in college football.

              * Offensive tackle Cole Croston, who has missed two games with an ankle sprain this season, wasn't listed on the depth chart and will likely be replaced by Ike Boettger on Saturday. Freshman offensive tackle Brett Waechter has left the team due to stomach issues which have plagued him during practice and workouts over the last few years. Starting running back LeShun Daniels Jr. was held to 18 yards on 10 carries in the loss to Penn State, and has rushed for over 100 yards only once in his last seven games while Akrum Wadley managed just 28 yards on nine attempts against the Nittany Lions.

              LINE HISTORY: Michigan opened as 18.5-point road favorites and by the end of the week the number rose up all to 21.5. The total opened at 50.5 and was bet up to 51.5 and has since settled at 50.5 Friday morning. View complete line history here.

              No. 12 Colorado at Arizona (15.5, 58)

              * Quarterback Sefo Liufau has seen more pressure in the last two games, and only has completed 31-of-55 passes for 278 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions – his first two of the season with both coming a week ago Thursday against UCLA. Lindsay ranks third in the conference with 90.9 rushing yards per game, and his 11 total TDs rank fifth. Defensively, the Buffaloes are led by linebacker Kenneth Olugbode (fourth in the Pac-12 with 7.7 tackles per game) and rank first in Pac-12 total defense (296.9 yards allowed) and second in scoring defense (17.2 points surrendered).

              * The Wildcats rotated quarterbacks Brandon Dawkins, Anu Solomon and Khalil Tate last week at Washington State, hoping to generate some offense but only managed seven points and 286 total yards in a 62-point blowout loss. Senior tailback Samajie Grant has started the last two games and has run for 141 yards on 27 carries while wideout Nate Phillips (21 receptions, 233 yards) now has caught a pass in 42 consecutive games – tied for the fifth-longest streak in the nation. Senior linebacker Paul Magloire Jr. has a team-leading 58 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss for Arizona, which ranks 10th in the conference in scoring defense (37.1 points) and ninth in total defense (475.2 yards).

              LINE HISTORY: Colorado opened as 15-point road favorites and that line crept higher to 15.5 on Tuesday morning and held firm. The total hit the betting board at 57.5 and has been bet up to 58. View complete line history here.

              California at No. 23 Washington State (-14.5, 83.5)

              * The Golden Bears were 1-for-14 on third down in last week’s loss to Washington despite the return of wide receiver Chad Hansen, who made five catches for 70 yards and his ninth touchdown after missing the previous two games due to injury. Freshmen receivers Demetris Robertson and Melquise Stovall have combined for nine TDs, but the team needs more production from running backs Khalfani Muhammad and Tre Watson after the duo has failed to reach the end zone in two straight games. Safety Khari Vanderbilt has made a team-high 60 tackles, but the defensive line has struggled to pressure the quarterback all season.

              * Coach Mike Leach’s squad opened with losses to Eastern Washington and Boise State but now has a shot at playing in the Rose Bowl for the first time since 2002. While Leach is known for his Air Raid offense, he’s used a more balanced attack this season with the rushing trio of Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and James Williams averaging 228.7 all-purpose yards while scoring a total of 27 touchdowns. The defense held Arizona to 158 rushing yards last week despite the absence of starting nose tackle Robert Barber, who has been suspended indefinitely for an off-campus incident.

              LINE HISTORY: The Cougars opened the week as 15-point home favorites and was quickly bet down half point to 14.5 and has held firm. The total was opened at 83.5 and didn’t move all week. View complete line history here.

                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                NCAAF Game of the Day: USC at Washington
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Washington finally reached the Top 4 in the CFP Rankings this week, but face a tough task to stay there as they host a hot USC team this Saturday.

                No. 20 USC Trojans at No. 4 Washington Huskies (-9.5, 62.5)

                Fourth-ranked Washington is in good position in terms of the College Football Playoff but faces a big hurdle with red-hot USC arriving in Seattle for Saturday's Pac-12 contest. The Trojans have won five consecutive contests and have soared with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold as the starting quarterback and will represent a big test for a Huskies' defense allowing 17 points per game.

                If things had gone differently following the 2013 season, third-year Washington coach Chris Petersen might be standing on the Trojans' sideline for this showdown. But Petersen didn't click with then-USC athletic director Pat Haden during the interview process and the job went to then-Huskies coach Steve Sarkisian - which opened the door for Petersen to leave Boise State for Washington. "It's just like recruiting: Fit's got to be right on both sides," Peterson told ESPN.com. "I think it was, you know, kind of obvious after talking. You've got to have your way and know the strengths and weaknesses and the details of everything you're doing." Clay Helton is now trying to guide the Trojans back to relevancy and the team has won by an average of 21 points during the winning streak.

                TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FOX.

                LINE HISTORY: The Huskies opened as 8.5-point home favorites and that number has dropped as low as 8 and as high as 9.5, before settling at 9 Friday afternoon. The total hit the board at 62 and has been bet up to 62.5. Check out the complete line history here.

                INJURY REPORT:

                Southern California - CB Johathan Lockett (doubtful, hip), RB Aca’Cedric Ware (questionable, ankle), RB Justin Davis (questionable, ankle), QB Matt Fink (questionable, ankle), DT Noah Jefferson (questionable, academics), JuJu Smith-Schuster (probable, back), Iman Marshall (probable, hamstring)

                Washington - WR Brayden Lenius (questionable, undisclosed), LB Joe Mathis (out for season, foot)

                WEATHER REPORT: There is a 80 percent chance of rain showers at kickoff Saturday night at Husky Stadium, decreasing to 16 percent later in the game. Temperatures will be in the 50’s with winds at 20 mph at kickoff.

                WHAT SHARPS SAY: "USC returned 10 starters on offense this season with their only loss being QB Cody Kessler who is now with the Cleveland Browns. However, that one loss was costly as the Trojans' offense struggled in September. However, USC has now turned things around and the Trojans have scored at least 41 points or more in four of their past five games. USC has averaged 40 points in their past five games, compared to averaging just 22 points in their first four games this season."

                WHAT BOOKS SAY: "We opened 4th ranked Washington as a -8 point favorite over PAC12 rival USC but got up to as high as -9 with the public backing Washington. We have since moved back to Washington -8.5 as we took some sharp action on the underdog Trojans to cover. As we sit right now we have just over 60 percent of the action on Washington to cover."

                ABOUT USC (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS, 2-7 O/U): Darnold has thrown 18 touchdown pass and topped 300 yards three times during the winning streak that has displayed that the Trojans have a star quarterback in the making. Overall, he has passed for 1,874 yards and 20 touchdowns against four interceptions and he is mixing well with standout junior wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, who has 48 receptions for 641 yards and eight touchdowns. Sophomore inside linebacker Cameron Smith leads the defense with 63 tackles while sophomore outside linebacker Gustin Porter has a team-best 7.5 tackles for losses.

                ABOUT WASHINGTON (9-0 SU, 5-4 ATS, 8-1 O/U): Sophomore quarterback Jake Browning matched his own school record with six touchdown passes in last week's win over California and he also holds the single-season mark of 34 passing scores. Browning, who has passed for 2,273 yards, regularly teams up with junior wideouts John Ross (44 reception, 14 touchdowns) and Dante Pettis (37 catches, 11 scores), while sophomore running back Myles Gaskins (952 yards) is closing in on his second consecutive 1,000-yard season. The defense suffered a huge blow with news that senior outside linebacker Joe Mathis (team-best five sacks) is done for the campaign and needs shoulder surgery.

                TRENDS:

                Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games.
                Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
                Huskies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.
                Under is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings.
                Underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

                CONSENSUS: The public loves the home favorite with 65 percent of wagers. The over is also getting a lot of love with 71 percent taking the over.

                • Best Bets - Week 11
                  November 10, 2016


                  Last week's college football best bets swept the board without any sweating. Washington came out to make a statement to the selection committee as predicted, and TCU dominated a deflated Baylor team coming off their first loss.

                  That makes it two straight weeks of sweeping the board with these CFB best bets and hopefully the good times keep rolling with this week's selections.

                  Best Bet #1: Stanford/Oregon Over 57

                  Betting Stanford games 'over' has largely been a losing proposition this year as the Cardinal enter this week's game with a 2-7 O/U mark. But after a 10-5 home loss to Colorado a few weeks back, things have started to trend upwards for this offense with 34 and 26 points in their two games since.

                  Stanford's hopes of making the playoffs or even a Pac-12 Conference game have long been dashed, but this program will still go bowling somewhere and they'll need to have their offense at least capable of pulling their own weight in that game.

                  Enter a trip to Oregon to face a Ducks defense that has been torched by everyone this year and there's a good chance we see plenty of points this week.

                  Oregon has allowed 35+ points in seven straight games and that run includes all six conference games they've played.

                  The talent just simply isn't there this year for the Ducks and while Oregon fans have grown accustomed to seeing their team have success for years in high-scoring affairs, this year the offense simply can't make up for all the mistakes the defense makes.

                  You aren't going to win too many games giving up 35 points per game they've become the cure for any opponent that's been struggling offensively.

                  Furthermore, for as solid as Stanford's defense has looked the majority of the year, Oregon still knows how to put up points and will have success as well.

                  Last year the Ducks put up 38 points on Stanford as 8.5-point road underdogs, and Oregon has always been a much better point producing machine at home. The Ducks are a perfect 3-0 O/U at home against conference foes this year and that undefeated record shouldn't change this week.

                  Eight of the past 10 meetings between these two programs have cashed 'over' tickets and only once did the total close at a lower number than 56.5. The Ducks have also lost the yardage battle – on the ground and in the air – in all but one Pac-12 game so far this year, so look for Stanford to move up and down the field on the Ducks like everyone else has.

                  The fact that this is the highest total for a Stanford game this year should stand out as a sign we will see some points, especially when you consider that the previous highest mark of 56.5 against Washington State was one of Stanford's two 'overs' on the year.

                  Best Bet #2: Illinois/Wisconsin Over 39.5

                  Wisconsin is another team like Stanford that has been a favorite of 'under' bettors this year (2-7 O/U), as they've got a tremendous defense and prefer to win games with a ground and pound attack. The Badgers are laying 26.5 points at home this week against a bad Illinois team and a total like this suggests the Illini won't score a touchdown.

                  But that hasn't happened all year for Illinois, and after going through numerous grueling games the past month, I expect this Wisconsin defense to let up a little bit here.

                  Three of the past four meetings between these two programs have cashed 'over' tickets, and all of Wisconsin's true home games this year have finished with at least 40 points.

                  The Badgers will get to 30+ points themselves here against a Illini defense that has struggled against top tier competition and this number is simply too low not to make this play.

                  One TD by Illinois at any point gives this play a good chance to cash, and with the number having moved up to its current state after opening at 38.5 despite VegasInsider showing that nearly 70% of the money has come in on the 'under' already suggests that going against the grain is correct here.

                            IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa stunned second-ranked Michigan 14-13 on Saturday night, damaging the Wolverines' playoff hopes.

                            Akrum Wadley had 115 yards rushing for the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) in their first victory over a top-five team in six years.

                            Michigan (9-1, 6-1, No. 3 CFP) appeared to have the game wrapped up on Channing Stribling's interception with 1:54 left. But the Hawkeyes' defense stuffed the Wolverines, and a facemask penalty put Iowa at Michigan's 36 with 1:23 to go.

                            Duncan then drilled the ball through the uprights from nearly the exact same spot where Daniel Murray hit the winner eight years ago to knock Penn State out of the national title picture.

                            But Michigan is still very much alive, in part because No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Washington also lost Saturday.

                            PITTSBURGH 43, NO. 3 CLEMSON 42


                            CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Chris Blewitt made a 48-yard field goal with 6 seconds left and Pittsburgh stunned Clemson 43-42, spoiling a record-setting day for quarterback Deshaun Watson and complicating the Tigers' path back to the College Football Playoff.

                            It was the biggest win for the Panthers (5-4, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) since knocking off then-No. 2 West Virginia 13-9 in 2007.

                            Watson threw for an ACC-record 580 yards and three touchdowns. But his third interception gave Pitt the chance to crawl back from a 42-34 deficit. After Saleem Brightwell's pick and 70-yard return, James Conner finished the drive with a 20-yard TD run.

                            The Panthers' defense, which gave up 630 yards, stopped Wayne Gallman short on third and fourth down to take the ball with 58 seconds left. Two passes to Scott Orndoff put Pitt within range and Blewitt nailed the kick to send the Panthers into a frenzy.

                            SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 26, NO. 4 WASHINGTON 13

                            SEATTLE (AP) - Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and Southern California upset Washington, snapping the Huskies' 12-game winning streak and damaging their College Football Playoff hopes.

                            Darnold was outstanding against one of the top defenses in the Pac-12, showing why USC has surged since he became the starter. Darnold's lofted pass over linebacker D.J. Beavers and into the arms of tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe for an 8-yard touchdown strike in the opening moments of the fourth quarter gave USC an 11-point lead that Washington (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 4 CFP) couldn't overcome.

                            Ronald Jones II added 93 yards rushing and a touchdown. USC (7-3, 6-2, No. 20 CFP) won its sixth straight. The Trojans also kept alive their slim hopes of winning the Pac-12 South.

                            Darreus Rogers had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Imatorbhebhe added five catches for 78 yards. Washington lost starting middle linebacker Azeem Victor in the second quarter to a lower right leg injury that required an air cast and a cart to take the Huskies' leading tackler off the field. But his absence was felt more in the pass game where USC exploited the middle of the field.

                            Washington quarterback Jake Browning was 17 of 36 for 259 yards, including a 70-yard scoring pass to John Ross. Ross finished with eight catches for 154 yards.

                            NO. 1 ALABAMA 51, MISSISSIPPI STATE 3


                            TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Jalen Hurts passed for career highs of 347 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 100 yards in less than three quarters in Alabama victory over Mississippi State.

                            The freshman quarterback's prolific performance wiped out any concerns that the Crimson Tide (10-0, 7-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 1 CFP) would have a letdown after a bruising win at No. 19 LSU. Instead, Hurts turned in his best game and the defense denied Mississippi State (4-6, 2-4) the end zone on nine trips across midfield.

                            Hurts is the first Alabama player to have 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the same game.

                            Hurts completed 28 of 37 passes and rushed for a fifth touchdown before being replaced by Cooper Bateman late in the third quarter. The career performance was marred by an interception and fumble, but the Tide's dominating defense made sure the miscues didn't matter too much.

                            ArDarius Stewart was the biggest beneficiary of the passing revival, scoring three touchdowns. Stewart gained 156 yards on eight catches, including a 67-yard sprint on a jet sweep.

                            NO. 5 LOUISVILLE 44, WAKE FOREST 12

                            LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Brandon Radcliff ran for three touchdowns during Louisville's 41-point second half, and the Cardinals routed Wake Forest despite a relatively quiet night from Lamar Jackson.

                            Louisville (9-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 6 CFP) trailed 12-0 behind three lost first-half fumbles before shutting down the Demon Deacons, holding them to just 37 yards after halftime. That opened the door for Radcliff to run for 141 yards and TDs of 55, 7 and 19 yards.

                            Jackson appeared headed for his first scoreless game since Nov. 14 against Virginia before completing a 2-yard pass to Cole Hikutini with 4:05 left for one of Louisville's five touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Ronald Walker also had a 31-yard interception return for a TD in the final period, and Malik Williams added a 2-yard run with 50 seconds left.

                            Jackson rushed for a game-high 153 yards on 22 carries, but he was held to 145 yards passing.

                            NO. 6 OHIO STATE 62, MARYLAND 3

                            COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - J.T. Barrett accounted for four touchdowns, Curtis Samuel scored three TDs and Ohio State enjoyed another lopsided victory.

                            Coming off a 62-3 roput of then-No. 10 Nebraska, the Buckeyes led 21-3 after the first quarter and 45-3 at halftime. Unlike last week, this blowout was no surprise because it came against a struggling team with quarterback issues and a porous defense.

                            Ohio State (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP) has won three straight to remain in contention for the Big Ten title and, more importantly, a berth in the College Football Playoff. Maryland (5-5, 2-5) has been outscored 121-6 over the last two weeks and given up 163 points during its three-game losing streak.

                            With Barrett and Samuel leading the way, the Buckeyes eliminated any potential drama by scoring touchdowns on three of their four possessions in the first quarter.

                            NO. 7 WISCONSIN 48, ILLINOIS 3


                            MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Corey Clement ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns and Wisconsin intercepted four of Illinois quarterback Jeff George Jr.'s passes.

                            Dare Ogunbowale added 103 yards on seven carries for the Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP). They rushed for a season-high 363 yards as a team.

                            Safety Leo Musso had two interceptions for the Badgers.

                            Wisconsin led by 18 after the first quarter with two scores from Clement, and 31-3 at the half on a homecoming weekend at Camp Randall Stadium. Illinois (3-7, 2-5) had just 60 yards and three first downs in the second half.

                            GEORGIA 13, NO. 8 AUBURN 7

                            ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Rodrigo Blankenship kicked two fourth-quarter field goals and Georgia's defense shut down Auburn in the second half.

                            The loss ended Auburn's Southeastern Conference championship hopes and knocked the Tigers (7-3, 5-2 SEC, No. 9 CFP) out of consideration for a spot in the playoff.

                            The Tigers couldn't overcome the loss of star running back Kamryn Pettway, the nation's No. 4 rusher who hurt his left leg on a long run in last week against Vanderbilt.

                            Auburn was held to 32 yards in the second half and 164 overall.

                            Georgia (6-4, 4-4) earned its biggest win under first-year coach Kirby Smart. After Blankenship's 21-yard field goal with 2:25 remaining, Auburn was stopped on four downs, triggering a celebration in the stands and on Georgia's sideline.

                            NO. 9 OKLAHOMA 45, NO. 25 BAYLOR 24

                            NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Baker Mayfield passed for 300 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to help Oklahoma beat Baylor.

                            The Sooners (8-2, 7-0 Big 12, No. 11 CFP) won their seventh in a row overall and 15th straight in Big 12 play. Joe Mixon had 187 yards from scrimmage and Samaje Perine ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns after missing three games with a pulled muscle in his right leg for Oklahoma .

                            Baylor (6-3, 3-3) had hoped to bounce back after a 62-22 loss to TCU. Instead, the Bears are on their first three-game losing streak since the middle of the 2012 season.

                            Baylor quarterback Seth Russell severely dislocated his left ankle and was carted off the field with 5:48 left in the third quarter.

                            MISSISSIPPI 29, NO. 10 TEXAS A&M 28


                            COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Shea Patterson threw for 338 yards and two touchdowns in his debut and Gary Wunderlich made a 39-yard field goal with 37 seconds left to lift Mississippi past Texas A&M.

                            The Rebels pulled the redshirt off Patterson, the highly regarded recruit, to start in place of Chad Kelly, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week.

                            Mississippi (5-5, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) trailed by 15 entering the fourth quarter before Patterson got going.

                            A 13-yard touchdown reception by Josh Reynolds put A&M up 28-19. Patterson then connected with Van Jefferson on a 32-yard reception for his second TD pass of the quarter to cut the lead to 28-26 with 5:17 remaining. A&M (7-3, 4-3) had to punt and Patterson moved the offense into position for Wunderlich's game-winning field goal.

                            The Aggies had a chance to win it late, but Jake Hubenak's pass was intercepted by Deontay Anderson to secure the victory. Hubenak was making his first start this season in place of Trevor Knight, who injured his shoulder last week.

                            NO. 11 WEST VIRGINIA 24, TEXAS 20


                            AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Kennedy McCoy ran for two touchdowns and West Virginia's defense withstood a final pass attempt into the end zone to hold off Texas.

                            Skyler Howard passed for 269 yards and a touchdown to help West Virginia (8-1, 5-1 Big 12, No. 16 CFP) keep its conference title hopes alive. The Mountaineers gave up 167 yards rushing to D'Onta Foreman but kept him out of the the end zone.

                            Texas (5-5, 3-4) had one last shot to win on the final play when Shane Buechele lobbed a pass high into the end zone but it floated too far and incomplete. Game officials checked replay to see if West Virginia had too many players on the field, but confirmed the play and the game was over.

                            NO. 12 PENN STATE 45, INDIANA 31


                            BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Saquon Barkley ran for two go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter, helping Penn State beat Indiana.

                            Barkley was held to 20 yards on 20 carries though the first three quarters. But the Big Ten's top rusher stepped up in the final period, and the Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1, No. 10 CFP) keep pace with No. 2 Michigan in the East Division with their sixth consecutive victory.

                            First, Barkley found a hole for a 4-yard TD run that made it 28-24. After Indiana regained the lead on Richard Lagow's 40-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook, Barkley ran over a defender for a 2-yard score with 3:58 left. Penn State sealed the win with a 9-yard fumble return for a TD with 29 seconds left.

                            Indiana (5-5, 3-4) had won two in a row.

                            NO. 17 OKLAHOMA STATE 45, TEXAS TECH 44

                            STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Clayton Hatfield missed the extra point after Quinton White's 1-yard scoring run for Texas Tech with 1:39 left, and Oklahoma State escaped with the victory.

                            Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5 Big 12) appeared to have overcome a 10-point deficit when White spun into the end zone on third-and-goal, but Hatfield's kick sailed wide right, leaving the Red Raiders down by one.

                            After Oklahoma State (8-2, 6-1, No. 13 CFP) recovered the onside kick attempt, the Cowboys marched quickly into the red zone, and resisted Tech's attempts to let them score before running out the clock.

                            Mason Rudolph threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns on 20-of-28 passing for Oklahoma State, and Justice Hill had 126 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. James Washington registered six receptions for 158 yards, including an 82-yard TD catch with 6 seconds left in the third quarter that put the Cowboys ahead 45-35. Tech's Patrick Mahomes completed 34 of 51 passes for 344 yards and three touchdowns

                            GEORGIA TECH 30, NO. 18 VIRGINIA TECH 20

                            BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Georgia Tech backup quarterback Matthew Jordan rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets past Virginia Tech.

                            Jordan made his first career start in place of an injured Justin Thomas, helping make the Yellow Jackets (6-4, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) bowl eligible. He repeatedly gashed the Hokies' defense, carrying 32 times and scoring on runs of 53 and 3 yards.

                            Marcus Marshall added 143 yards rushing and a score.

                            Virginia Tech (7-3, 5-2, No. 14 CFP) missed a chance to clinch the ACC's Coastal Division.

                            NO. 19 LSU 38, ARKANSAS 10

                            FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Derrius Guice rushed for a career-high 252 yards, Leonard Fournette added three touchdowns and LSU improved to 4-1 under interim coach Ed Orgeron.

                            LSU (6-3, 4-2 Southeastern Conference, No. 24 CFP) was coming off a 10-0 loss to No. 1 Alabama.

                            Guice rushed for two touchdowns on 21 carries, and his 96-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the longest in school history. Fournette scored on runs of 7, 7 and 3 yards, and had 98 yards rushing.

                            The Tigers outgained Arkansas (6-4, 2-4, No. 25 CFP) 547-291 in total yardage, and LSU quarterback Danny Etling finished 10-of-16 passing for 157 yards.

                            NO. 21 NEBRASKA 24, MINNESOTA 17


                            LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Tommy Armstrong Jr. led a 91-yard tiebreaking touchdown drive after being helped off the field with an ankle injury the previous series, and Kieron Williams' interception with 1:29 left secured Nebraska's victory.

                            Armstrong, knocked unconscious in last week's loss at Ohio State, was cleared to start against the Gophers and was playing one of his best games in weeks when he injured his left ankle on a quarterback sneak late in the third quarter.

                            He came back to loud cheers on the Cornhuskers' early in the fourth and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 13-yard run with 7:17 left. He stumbled into the end zone, came up hobbling again and was carried to the sideline by two offensive linemen.

                            Williams' intercepted Mitch Leidner's tipped pass after the Gophers had driven to the Nebraska 17, and backup quarterback Ryker Fyfe took the final snaps as the Huskers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) won for the first time in three games and a week after getting humiliated 62-3 at Ohio State.

                            Minnesota (7-3, 4-3) had its four-game win streak ended.

                            NO. 22 FLORIDA 20, SOUTH CAROLINA 7


                            GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Austin Appleby threw two touchdown passes, Jordan Scarlett ran for a career-high 134 yards and Florida beat South Carolina and former coach Will Muschamp, moving closer to clinching the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division.

                            The banged-up Gators (7-2, 5-2) can secure a spot in the league title game by winning at LSU next week. It might be a long shot given Florida's injury situation.

                            Coach Jim McElwain lost nine starters the last two weeks, including four against the Gamecocks (5-5, 3-5). Safety Marcus Maye (shoulder), defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. (ankle), center Tyler Jordan (ankle) and right tackle David Sharpe (leg) all left the game and did not return.

                            NO. 24 BOISE ST 52, HAWAII 16

                            HONOLULU (AP) - Brett Rypien passed for 338 yards and four touchdowns for Boise State.

                            The Broncos (9-1, 5-1 Mountain West, No. 22 CFP) racked up a season-high 603 yards of total offense, 403 of them coming before halftime. Jeremy Nichols, the nation's leading scorer, ran for 153 yards on 16 carries and scored on runs of 36 and 5 yards. Rypien finished 18-of-22 passing.

                            Cedrick Wilson had seven receptions and 141 yards with a touchdown, and Thomas Sperbeck added five grabs for 114 yards and two scores. Paul Harris ran for 145 yards for Hawaii (4-7, 3-4).

                            • Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up the first part of the weekend

                              Wrapping up the first part of the sports weekend……..
                              13) Pitt 43, Clemson 42— Watson was 52-70/580 passing, but threw three INTs and Clemson didn’t score in 4th quarter. Panthers kicked 48-yard FG with 0:06 left to send everyone in Death Valley home unhappy.

                              12) UNLV 69, Wyoming 66 OT— Weird game. Rebels ran for 401 yards, totally dominated with their running game but still needed OT to beat lackluster Wyoming team that turned ball over four times. UNLV’s basketball team lost 76-68 Friday nite; the football team outscored them.

                              11) USC 26, Washington 13— Trojans are now 7-3 after a 1-3 start and Clay Helton has fought off the critics to lead his team to a decent season. Total upheaval in the top five this week, with Clemson, Washington, Michigan all losing Saturday. As for the Huskies, if your school color is purple, then wear purple jerseys (not black) for the biggest game of your season.

                              10) Miami Oh 35, Buffalo 24— Red Hawks started out this season 0-6, after being 5-19 the last two years, but have righted ship, won five games in a row and if they win their last game, they’ll be 6-6 and bowl eligible. Won’t be a great bowl, but when you were 0-6, any bowl will do. Three of their five wins came on the road; impressive turnaround.

                              9) Iowa 14, Michigan 13— Wolverines have now lost their last four visits to Iowa City, hadn’t won at Iowa since 2005. True freshman made a 33-yard FG at the gun to win it, in a game where neither side had 250 total yards. Kirk Ferentz had five state troopers around him after the game; I bet Iowa’s governor isn’t protected that well.

                              8) Albany 87, Penn State 81— Great Danes were supposed to open the season at Duke, but due to NY State not allowing anyone in state employ to do business in North Carolina because of the LGBT/bathroom issue, that game was cancelled and Albany scheduled Penn State instead, and they scored a solid road win.

                              7) Penn State 45, Indiana 31— Hoosiers (+7) led 31-28 with 5:00 left; Penn State scored a TD with 3:58 left, kicked a FG with 1:07 left that pushed the spread, but then, with 0:29 left, Penn State ran a fumble in from nine yards out for the covering TD, in a very brutal beat for Indiana backers.

                              6) South Florida 49, Memphis 42— After watching this game, I’m half-thinking that USF doesn’t have an actual offense; they just line up in spread, snap the ball and junior QB Flowers runs amok and makes something happen out of the chaos. Bulls have a lot of fast guys, but no wonder Florida State beat ‘em by three TD’s- they can match USF’s speed.

                              5) Georgia 13, Auburn 7— Hard to cover a 10.5-point spread if you score 7. Auburn gained a total of 164 yards on 54 plays- they had zero first downs in the second half. Some of these teams in the AAC, Big 12 get that in the first quarter of games. The SEC title game is going to be awful, probably a 20+ pointspread with Alabama ready to crush whoever shows up.

                              4) West Virginia 24, Texas 20— Mountaineers have four road games this year: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Texas and Iowa State— why are they in the Big X? It makes no sense for them not to play Va Tech, Pitt, Penn State, Maryland, Virginia- the teams close to them. Texas is 5-5 and people have to be wondering why they fired Mack Brown.

                              3) Louisville 44, Wake Forest 12— Deacons led this game 12-3 at the half, 12-10 after three quarters, so what we have here is a misleading final score.

                              2) Oklahoma 45, Baylor 24— Bears were 6-0 but have now lost three games in row, giving up 914 rushing yards and 142 points. Wonder if they’ll go to a bowl game. given the off-field issues the program has.

                              1) Ole Miss 29, Texas A&M 28— Freshman QB Shea Patterson, in his first college start, was 25-42/338 passing, as he rallied Rebels from down 21-6 for the unlikely win. You win on the road with a freshman making his first college start in November, that is solid coaching, especially since the kid drove the bus with his passing, he just didn’t hand off and manage the game.

                                PLAYOFF SHAKEUP

                                Top-ranked Alabama easily won its game. The other three at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings all lost.

                                This is where the season gets interesting.

                                Chris Blewitt made a 48-yard field goal with six seconds left as the Panthers stunned No. 3 Clemson 43-42 for the first playoff shakeup game.

                                Later on Saturday, Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-13 win over No. 4 Washington , helping the Trojans snap the Huskies' 12-game winning streak.

                                Then No. 4 Michigan went down, losing 14-13 to Iowa on Keith Duncan's 33-yard field goal as time expired.

                                In case that wasn't enough, No. 8 Texas A&M, No. 9 Auburn and No. 14 Virginia Tech all lost, too.

                                HURTS LEADS TIDE

                                Alabama coach Nick Saban held a film session with Jalen Hurts this week to point out a few things to his young quarterback.

                                Hurts was clearly paying attention.

                                The freshman passed for career highs of 347 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 100 yards in less than three quarters in No. 1 Alabama's 51-3 rout of Mississippi State. It put on display the potential of a passing game that had lately seemed the closest thing to a weakness for the Crimson Tide.

                                The win - coupled with Auburn's surprising loss at Georgia - also meant Alabama clinched the SEC West title.

                                Hurts' prolific performance wiped out any concerns that the Tide would have a letdown after a bruising win at No. 19 LSU. Instead, Hurts turned in his best game and the defense denied Mississippi State the end zone on nine trips across midfield.

                                Hurts is the first Alabama player to have 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the same game, and he was flirting with both those milestones by halftime.

                                ---

                                NUMBERS

                                12-Years since Oregon last had a losing record . The Ducks are 3-7 after a 52-27 loss to Stanford.

                                23-Games of Rhode Island's road losing streak before beating Elon 44-14.

                                59-Career rushing touchdowns by Fordham's Chase Edmonds , breaking the Patriot League record.

                                67-Points by Eastern Kentucky in its win over Austin Peay, matching a 91-year-old school record .

                                KEY INJURIES

                                No. 4 Washington and No. 25 Baylor lost key players to injuries.

                                Baylor quarterback Seth Russell is expected to miss the rest of the season after severely dislocating his left ankle during Saturday's 45-24 loss to No. 9 Oklahoma.

                                Replays of the gruesome injury showed his foot pointing straight to the side instead of forward. Russell missed much of last season after breaking a bone in his neck.

                                Washington linebacker Azeem Victor was carted off the field with his right leg stabilized after going down with an injury in the second quarter against Southern California.

                                Victor's leg twisted awkwardly as he helped stop USC's Justin Davis on a routine running play. Victor stayed down and medical staff for Washington rushed out to attend to him. His leg was placed in an air cast and he was sitting up in the cart as he was driven off the field.

                                MOUNT UNION'S STREAK ENDS

                                Mount Union's 112-game, NCAA record-setting winning streak is over.

                                Anthony Moeglin threw a 24-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to William Woods with 39 seconds left, lifting John Carroll to a 31-28 win over the Purple Raiders.

                                The Division III powerhouse hadn't lost since Oct. 22, 2005, when a setback to Ohio Northern ended a 110-game winning streak that also lasted longer than a decade.
