| 10 | Washington | 8 | 0 | 36 | Savvy and the experts favor UW |
| 23 | USC | 7 | 2 | 34 | by four or less. Figure UW by 10 or more. |

| Kent St. | 1 | 7 | 25 | Bookies say Akron will win this | |
| Akron | 1 | 7 | 21 | but I just don’t see it. | |
| 20 | LSU | 6 | 2 | 30 | LSU has hit its stride so this |
| 7 | Alabama | 7 | 1 | 31 | should be a great game. |
| Marshall | 4 | 4 | 30 | I agree with bookies that ASU wins | |
| App State | 4 | 4 | 28 | Marshall is on a horrible slide. | |
| Louisiana | 5 | 3 | 36 | ||

| Clemson | 4 | 4 | 24 | trendlines on Savvy Index. | |
| N Illinois | 4 | 4 | 26 | NIU was red hot in | |
| C Michigan | 4 | 4 | 24 | the month of October. | |
| Wake Forest | 4 | 4 | 21 | Wake has lost four of the last five | |
| Duke | 5 | 3 | 26 | because the Decons can’t run the ball. | |

| Wisconsin | 5 | 3 | 35 | ||
| Indiana | 2 | 5 | 17 | ||
| Kansas | 6 | 2 | 27 | Savvy and Vegas favor ISU at | |

| 11 | Liberty | 7 | 0 | 43 | |

| 18 | Louisville | 7 | 1 | 31 | |

| Memphis | 6 | 2 | 40 | ||
| Purdue | 2 | 6 | 21 | ||
| 1 | Michigan | 8 | 0 | 42 | |
| Nebraska | 5 | 3 | 24 | Matt Rhule takes Nebraska to | |
| Michigan St. | 2 | 6 | 17 | a bowl game in his first year. | |
| Illinois | 3 | 5 | 20 | ||
| Minnesota | 5 | 3 | 28 | ||
| Texas A&M | 5 | 3 | 24 | I’m not a Jimbo fan but this game | |
| 15 | Mississippi | 7 | 1 | 32 | has a very high upset rating. |
| Kentucky | 5 | 3 | 28 | Vegas favors KU. | |
| Mississippi St. | 4 | 4 | 30 | ||
| Hawai’i | 2 | 7 | 24 | ||
| Nevada | 2 | 6 | 31 | ||
| UNLV | 6 | 2 | 38 | ||

| Middle Tenn | 2 | 6 | 24 | ||
| New Mexico St. | 6 | 3 | 32 | ||
| FCS | Campbell | 4 | 4 | 0 | Campbell is a pretty good FCS |
| 22 | N Carolina | 6 | 2 | 54 | but NC is coming in hot. |
| Miami Fl | 6 | 2 | 26 | Vegas says Miami by seven but | |
| N Carolina St. | 5 | 3 | 27 | NCSU is going to win this. | |
| Iowa | 6 | 2 | 30 | ||
| Northwestern | 4 | 4 | 13 | ||
| UTSA | 5 | 3 | 40 | ||
| N Texas | 3 | 5 | 27 | ||
| 8 | Oklahoma | 7 | 1 | 35 | |
| Oklahoma St. | 6 | 2 | 27 | ||
| Coastal Car | 5 | 3 | 34 | Experts think this spread will | |
| Old Dominion | 4 | 4 | 20 | be just two points. | |
| 3 | Florida St. | 8 | 0 | 37 | Pitt is frustratingly |
| Pittsburgh | 2 | 6 | 20 | inconsistent in 2023. | |
| SMU | 6 | 2 | 37 | ||
| Rice | 4 | 4 | 23 | ||
| 2 | Ohio St. | 8 | 0 | 33 | Rutgers is a legit 6-2 team but didn’t |
| Rutgers | 6 | 2 | 13 | come close last year and won’t win now. | |
| FCS | Kennesaw St. | 2 | 5 | 17 | KSU qb Jonathan Murphy is |
| Sam Houston | 0 | 8 | 28 | worth watching. | |
| Utah St. | 3 | 5 | 29 | Savvy trend lines are strong for SDSU | |
| San Diego St. | 3 | 5 | 30 | in this one | |
| Jacksonville St. | 7 | 2 | 24 | Despite Vegas and Savvy, I personally | |
| S Carolina | 2 | 6 | 31 | think JSU will win this. | |
| LA Monroe | 2 | 6 | 27 | ULM has a terrific chance to win | |
| S Miss | 1 | 7 | 32 | because USM is on a deep, deep skid. | |
| Boston Col | 5 | 3 | 27 | Expect more than the 51 total | |
| Syracuse | 4 | 4 | 31 | points that Vegas set for this game. | |
| Navy | 3 | 4 | 30 | ||
| Temple | 2 | 6 | 24 | ||
| Connecticut | 1 | 7 | 14 | I agree with Savvy Index that the spread | |
| Tennessee | 6 | 2 | 38 | of 24 will be closer than Vegas’ 35. | |
| Kansas St. | 6 | 2 | 25 | ||
| 12 | Texas | 7 | 1 | 28 | |
| Georgia So. | 6 | 2 | 33 | Bookies say 71 total points | |
| Texas St. | 5 | 3 | 30 | but that is way too high. | |
| TCU | 4 | 4 | 28 | Gamblers favor TTU which has become | |
| Texas Tech | 3 | 5 | 27 | a customary thing in 2023. | |
| Buffalo | 3 | 5 | 21 | Toledo will win this but the | |
| Toledo | 7 | 1 | 36 | Rockets don’t look like a 7-1team to me. | |
| S Alabama | 4 | 4 | 20 | Troy hasn’t had a single negative | |
| Troy | 6 | 2 | 32 | trend on Savvy since September. | |
| Charlotte | 2 | 6 | 20 | I doubt Tula wins this by | |
| Tulsa | 3 | 5 | 33 | double-digits. | |
| Florida Atl. | 4 | 4 | 31 | ||
| UAB | 2 | 3 | 28 | ||
| W Kentucky | 4 | 3 | 34 | ||
| UTEP | 3 | 6 | 20 | ||
| Auburn | 4 | 4 | 32 | Vandy has lost 7 in a row. | |
| Vanderbilt | 2 | 7 | 21 | Make that 8. | |
| Georgia Tech | 4 | 4 | 32 | Experts say Virginia will win this | |
| Virginia | 2 | 6 | 29 | and that wouldn’t surprise me. | |
| BYU | 5 | 3 | 27 | I agree WVU will win but not by | |
| W Virginia | 5 | 3 | 28 | two possessions that bookies suggest. | |
| Colorado St. | 3 | 5 | 21 | ||
| Wyoming | 5 | 3 | 34 | ||
