1) Alabama -7.5 @ Texas A&M: You're crazy if you don't think the Tide will be ready for this one. Bama has been waiting a very long time for this game. I'm not saying A&M won't be able to put up any points but they will most certainly have trouble against this great defense. The bigger issue will be stopping Bama. Big day for TJ Yeldon. Tide win 38-20.
2) UCF +5 @ Penn State: The Nittany Lions are going through some growing pains with a freshman quarterback at the helm. They struggled against a lousy Syracuse team and it took a while to get going against Eastern Michigan before pulling away. UCF is solid year in and year out and I expect them to give PSU a test here and even have a shot at pulling off the upset.
3) Washington @ Illinois +10: Washington was extremely impressive in their rout of Boise State but I think Illinois is a good team or at least much better than their 2012 record would indicate. Won a nice bet on them outright last week over Cincy and going to ride them again here. Scheelhasse is a versatile quarterback and the Illini are beginning to build some momentum under the second year coach Beckman.
I'll post official plays closer to gameday but these three look awfully good to me.
