What an awful set of games to pick from while Eventual 2019-2020 National Champion Michigan State uses the off week to fix the woes that they were unable to fix during the last bye week two weeks ago. Really only one good matchup.
Baylor 35, West Virginia 17
Baylor has put together a nice season. It is all going to come crashing down on them in a couple weeks, but not this week. West Virginia is pretty bad.
Appalachian State 42, Georgia Southern 35
For the record Georgia Southern gave currently not lost yet Minnesota all they could handle. For the record, currently not lost yet Minnesota is not really that good.
Methchicken 35, Maryland 10
I do not buy the narrative that Methchicken has fixed its offensive woes. Not on the basis of one game. Of course, they really do not have to fix those woes to win this game. They pretty much just need to show up. Yankguy progeny gets to brag at the Thanksgiving Day table.
Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 27, Virginia Tech 24
My good friend Bill, a die hard Hokie fan, reminds me that VT has made a bowl game every year since 1993, the longest active streak in the nation. It pains me to point this out to him, but I do not see where 5 – 2 VT picks up that 6th win. Maybe here – OLotPT looked horrific Saturday – but I do not think they are actually as bad as they played.
Florida 34, Georgia 20
South Carodamnlina beat Georgia by 3. Florida beat South Carodamnlina by 11. Hence, Florida wins this by 14. Math! Florida seems to have moved away from the offensive problems they have had the last few years. Georgia just seems a little off to me this year.
Kansas State 31, Kansas 10
That Kansas does not totally suck is one of the better stories of the year.
Utah 35, Washington 17
The PAWCP has a better shot at the playoffs this week than they did last week. A one win conference champ, in the hopper against once beaten Oklahoma might be able to get that last playoff spot. I suppose I should add the the LSU/Alabama loser into the mix, but I still do not think the committee takes a non-champ over a conference champ with only 1 loss.

Seriously, jbot. Your team plays the fightin’ terriers midway through your season and you are banned from criticizing anyone else’s schedule for three years.
Memphis 35, SMU 21
Memphis lost to Temple by 2, SMU beat Temple by 24. Ergo, SMU should win by 26. Math? HELL NO. Not this time. Taking the home team.
Oregon 38, University of California* 24
What I said about Utah and the playoffs applies even more to Oregon, since their loss (Auburn in game 1) is a pretty good loss, and the Committee seems more likely to overlook an early loss if your team improves. It might be enough to elevate them over Oklahoma. Sorry, troj, but I really think you need to rethink your coaching staff, though I am not sure who is on the market that would elevate the team.

* Southern
Not sure there is another game worth the candle.
