North Carolina at NC State: Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, and Desmond Howard are sticking with the newly-ranked Wolfpack against the Tar Heels.

BYU at Oklahoma State: Win, and the Cowboys are in the Big 12 title game, and that's what everyone on GameDay predicted will happen.

Wisconsin at Minnesota: Paul Bunyan's Axe is heading back to Minnesota, according to a majority vote on the set.

Texas A&M at LSU: A unanimous decision for LSU to handle the Aggies at home and help put quarterback Jayden Daniels at the front of the Heisman race.

Florida State at Florida: Likewise for the Seminoles to stay undefeated against the Gators as they look ahead to the ACC Championship Game.

Washington State at Washington: 93% of the fan vote is siding with the Huskies to stay perfect in the Apple Cup, as do the GameDay pickers.
