1.  Florida @ Georgia  (FL -6)
Pick:  Florida to cover.
Why:  Georgia has not played good defense against any caliber opponent this year.  Don't expect them to be able to stop Tebow/Harvin/Dempes and the Florida offense.  Florida big here.
2.  Texas @ Texas Tech  (TX -4)
Pick:  Texas Tech with the points.
Why:  The Texas defense is vasty overrated.  And that is saying a lot considering they play in the worst defensive conference in the country.  I like Tech in the possible upset here at home.  The throw the ball all over and Texas is weak here.
3.  Miami @ Virginia  (VA -2)
Pick:  Virgina to cover.
Why:  UVA has it rolling now.  The offense is coming together and they have seen the hardest parts of their season.  Playing at home against a very inconsistant Miami offense/defense.  UVA wins this one well.
4.  Oregon @ California  (CA -3)
Pick:  Oregon with the points.
Why:  Oregon wins this game.  They have a better overrall defense and their offense is coming into their own.  Cal has too many problems at the QB position to count them as a real threat.  Oregon has been playing very well with the issues they have.
5.  Nebraska @ Oklahoma  (OK -22)
Pick:  Nebraska with the points.
Why:  Oklahoma has no defense.  I don't think Nebraska can win, but their defense is better than Oklahoma and they have shown they can score a bit too.
6.  TCU @ UNLV  (TCU -14)
Pick:  UNLV with the  points.
Why:  TCU's offense isn't great and UNLV has played surprisingly well.  Coach Sanford has these kids playing with some fire.  UNLV won't win but they make it close.
7.  West Virginia @ Connecticut  (WV -4)
Pick:  Connecticut with the points.
Why:  UConn has played well on defense at times this year and can put up some points.  WV is a hot and cold team, I think UConn can win this one at home.
8.  Boise State @ New Mexico State  (BSU -20)
Pick:  New Mexico State with the points.
Why:  NM can put points on the board and BSU hasn't shown a ton of defense against teams that spread the ball around.  BSU wins, but won't cover.
9.  Florida State @ Georgia Tech  (GT -2)
Pick:  Florida State with the points.
Why:  Florida State wins this game.  GT is vastly overrated and FSU is playing pretty well this year.  FSU's defense will hold this Tech team down.
10.  Missouri @ Baylor  (MO -20)
Pick:  Baylor with the points.
Why:  Baylor's young QB can really throw the ball and Mizzou doesn't play defense.  Mizzou wins but not by 20.
