No. 9 Missouri @ No. 25 Texas A&M
McGowan: Texas A&M – It may be a cult, but at least I can trust it.
Votzmeyer: Texas A&M – Don’t let history repeat it itself, Aggies. #GoIrish
Schultz: Texas A&M – The 12th man will help the Aggies prevail in this one. Gig Em!
Meglio: Texas A&M – A Texas football school is always a safe pick.
Reisetter: Texas A&M – Vegas smells upset, and so do I.
Bohnenkamp: Texas A&M – SEC road reality hits the Tigers.
Brummond: Missouri – The Tigers look like a playoff team.
No. 12 Ole Miss @ South Carolina
McGowan: Ole Miss – I thought the Rebels were fans of South Carolina. After all, the state seceeded first.
Votzmeyer: Ole Miss – Quarterback’s name is literally Jaxson Dart. DART.
Schultz: Ole Miss – The Cocks will be a tough out for the Rebels, but they bounce back on the road.
Meglio: Ole Miss – Couldn’t care less about this game.
Reisetter: Ole Miss – The Rebels need a bounce-back week.
Bohnenkamp: South Carolina – Speaking of SEC road reality…
Brummond: Ole Miss – Ole Miss’ miss last week doesn’t trigger a miss vs. SC.
Rutgers @ Nebraska
McGowan: Rutgers – *Inarticulate Italian noises*
Votzmeyer: Nebraska – Dare I say this will be a good game?
Schultz: Nebraska – This one will be a grinder of a game, but Big Red bounces back at home.
Meglio: Nebraska – Bounce back week for Dylan Raiola and the Cornhuskers.
Reisetter: Rutgers – Rutgers is good at football?
Bohnenkamp: Nebraska – Yeah, the Huskers are pretty good.
Brummond: Nebraska – Huskers claim a signature win over Rutgers. Wait, what?
No. 10 Michigan @ Washington
McGowan: Washington – My mom has stolen too many shells from this state. Help me stop her.
Votzmeyer: Michigan – If there’s a will, there’s a way.
Schultz: Washington – The Dawgs will be barking loud on the Puget Sound.
Meglio: Michigan – Man, if Michigan loses this game…
Reisetter: Michigan – Unless Washington recovers an onside kick, this one belongs to the Wolverines.
Bohnenkamp: Michigan – These used to be good Rose Bowls.
Brummond: Michigan – This rematch is quite far from a preview of this year’s national championship.
Hawaii @ San Diego State
McGowan: Hawaii – If it doesn’t win, I will jump off the same Hawaiian cliff that I did in 2023.
Votzmeyer: San Diego State – Is jet lag from Hawaii to California a thing?
