The battle between two of the top teams in the Big Ten, as both squads would like to slide up the rankings with a solid victory. The Buckeyes had won seven straight against the Spartans before last year's three point loss.

Clemson at Boston College

The line has likely dropped due to Clemson playmaking wide receiver Sammy Watkins missing this game with a stomach illness. The Tigers played the first two games without him, as he was suspended and took care of business easily. However, Boston College has had extra time to prepare and has done well against this program in the past.
The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two clubs.
Florida State at South Florida

There was a time when South Florida was expected to take that next step and really turn this program into a true contender. After two straight losses to Rutgers and Ball State, it doesn't look like that is going to happen this season. Florida State is coming off a strong victory last week over Clemson.
South Florida is 6-2 against the spread in their last eight meetings against teams in the ACC.

Texas at Oklahoma State
