Bold prediction: After their lowest point total of the season, the Knight set a season high in scoring. 31 points against Navy was a bad day at the office for UCF. They’ll put that “bad” performance behind them by doubling up that score, and then some against Austin Peay.

Bold prediction: Houston ends USF’s unbeaten season. Quinton Flowers has not been having a good year. The Bulls’ starting quarterback has struggled with accuracy and has completed 10 or fewer passes three times this season. That catches up to him on Saturday and Charlie Strong’s team is bounced from the Top 25.

Bold prediction: The Spartans are pushed to overtime by the Wildcats. While Northwestern is not among the elite of the Big Ten, they sure find ways to play tough, physical games. The Spartans haven’t put it all together on offense yet, and those struggles will come to haunt them in what will become a much closer than anticipated road trip.
