Ohio State at Michigan: Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez could definitely use this win to close on a high note and earn a bowl bid. Won’t happen as the Buckeyes overpower their interstate rivals who are a year away. Ohio State 28, Michigan 13

Connecticut at Notre Dame: The Huskies have been on the short end if too many losses this season, both on and off the field. Charlie Weis’ fate is sealed at the conclusion of this game. Connecticut 24, Notre Dame 20

Ole miss at LSU: The Tigers were in a stupor last week against Louisiana Tech, trailing at the half before coming back to win. The Rebels wrap up a Cotton Bowl berth with Dexter McCluster running wild. Ole Miss 30, LSU 27

Clemson at Virginia: Two years ago, Clemson was a win away from the ACC Championship game before letting it slip away. C.J. Spiller won’t let that happen on Saturday and solidifies an invitation to New York for the Heisman ceremony. Clemson 41, Virginia 20

Cal at Stanford: Tobey Gerhart is the nation’s best player that fans on the East Coast are just hearing about. Problems at QB for Jeff Tedford and the Golden Bears continue as the Cardinal stay alive for a Rose Bowl berth. Stanford 35, Cal 17

Oregon at Arizona: The winner of this game will emerge as the odds on favorite to earn a Rose Bowl berth versus Ohio State. Jeremiah Masoli gets back on track in Tucson. Oregon 30, Arizona 20

Minnesota at Iowa: Although the Hawkeyes won’t be headed to the Rose Bowl, they still have an opportunity to play in a premier bowl game – likely the Orange Bowl or Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Kirk Ferentz’s squad makes their case for the BCS. Iowa 24, Minnesota 10

Oklahoma at Texas Tech: Both teams are 6-4 and playing for a “better” bowl position. The Sooners maintain their poise and make it happen against the Red Raiders in Lubbock. Oklahoma 27, Texas Tech 24
