Top Week 9 Games:

#2 Michigan @ Michigan State

10/29 12:00 p.m. ESPN

This is a classic Big Ten rivalry, but I think this year it will be nothing like last years amazing game. Actually I think it will be the total opposite... yes I think Michigan will blowout Michigan State.

#4 Washington @ #17 Utah

10/29 3:30 p.m. FS1

This will be a great PAC-12 match up. Washington is a good team but Utah has home field advantage and that's big. In the end I think the Huskies overcome the crowd and defeat the Utes.

#7 Nebraska @ #11 Wisconsin

10/29 7:00 p.m. ESPN

This is Nebraskas first true test and could possibly upset their perfect season. This game could very well end up deciding the BIG TEN West champion.

#3 Clemson @ #12 Florida State

10/29 8:00 p.m. ABC

This is another great rivalry. Florida State has struggled this year but this is another team with home field advantage. I think Clemson will win yet another big game and defeat the 'Noles in Tallahassee.

Week 9 kicks off when #25 Virginia Tech visits Pittsburgh on Thursday, October 27th at 7:00 p.m. On ESPN.
