Idaho @ Nevada (4:05pm Eastern)
Still seeking their first conference win, Idaho heads into Reno to take on the Wolfpack. Coming off a win against Utah State and still stinging perhaps from that loss against Boise State, Nevada will have a field day tearing through Idaho's porous defense, especially through the air.
New Mexico State @ #16 Hawaii (12:05am Eastern)
The word "trap game" comes to mind here, as two very similar teams meet up in Honolulu. Both teams are offensive juggernauts in the pass game, but have weak defenses. New Mexico State's Chase Holbrook may be the best QB that nobody is talking about, as the junior's numbers (72.8% completion rate, 2123 yards, 17 TD, 11 INT) are comparable to
those of Hawaii's Colt Brennan (69.5% completion rate, 2395 yards, 20 TD, 10 INT). The Warriors will win at home, but it'll be a lot closer than most people will think.

Hi, Josh, your fan club checking in...
Wow, I had forgotten about the intense hatred Bama has toward Phil. Thanks for reminding me, lol. Funny how just a couple of weeks ago the Tenn/SC tilt was expected to be possibly the one that decided the East. But UT gets their 3rd blowout (when they lose, they lose big) and Spurrier actually loses to Vandy. I think you'll get your wish in this game, however.
Ga/Fla...oh yeah, Florida all the way.
And the others:
Auburn/Ole Miss: despite the loss last week, the War Eagles have played much better since dropping one at home vs. Moo State in week 3 and will probably win out from here. So of course they'll take this one against a coach who is in a race with Bill Callaghan to the head of the unemployment line.
MSU/KY: Moo State in an upset! Yeah, dream on.
