5. Nebraska at No. 3 Oklahoma

Oklahoma narrowly escaped Tulane and now they face a team that they have a long-standing history with: Nebraska. Oklahoma sits undefeated and is No. 3 in the nation, but that won’t last- that I can promise you.

For Nebraska, that loss to Illinois looks real bad, but the next two wins have been better.

Now though, things get exciting for Nebraska as they head on the road to face off against a top-five team. Who will bring home the win in this one?

Pick: Oklahoma

6. Purdue at No. 12 Notre Dame

Let me start by saying that I’m not buying into Notre Dame. I never do. The Irish have had two near losses against Florida State and Toledo and now they face off against an undefeated Purdue team that could play season ruiners for Notre Dame this year.

Purdue has wins over Oregon State and UConn. Neither team is all that great, so those wins aren’t obnoxiously impressive, but they could grab a great win here against the Irish.

Pick: Purdue
