ACC
Virginia Tech vs. Miami. The ACC has waited a long time to get a premier game between these former Big East titans. The Hurricanes and Hokies are both favorites to win the Coastal Division, and this game will likely determine the champion. Miami will be thirsty to avenge last season's pummeling by Va Tech. They might get it because the Hokies will be coming off back to back difficult games against Ga Tech and North Carolina. Runner up...Florida State vs. Boston College.
Big East
Pitt vs. West Virginia. Of course this is an easy pick, but the Panthers and the Mountaineers are the favorites, and the backyard brawl will determine the conference champion. Pitt will be looking for their first Big East title since 2004. Earning it at their rival's stadium would be sweet. Runner up....South Florida vs. UConn.
Big 10
Ohio State vs. Wisconsin. The Buckeyes rarely play well in Camp Randall. If they can escape with a win here, they'll be on track for not only the Big Ten title, but the BCS title game too. Pryor worked some magic in his first visit to Wisconsin, and the Buckeye faithful are hoping he does it again. Runner up...Wisconsin vs. Iowa.
Big 12
Texas vs. Nebraska. The Cornhuskers came within a second of defeating the Longhorns last December to win the Big 12 title. They'll want some revenge, and Texas might be ripe for an upset coming off their annual showdown with Oklahoma a week earlier. The game is in Lincoln which should help, but Mack Brown usually delivers in these types of games. Runner up....Texas vs. Texas A&M.
PAC 10
Washington vs. USC. The former USC assistants will battle for the first time. Sarkisian got a huge win against the Trojans last year, and he'd love to make it two in a row. Kiffin could make an early statement that the PAC 10 title still leads through LA. Runner up...Oregon vs. Oregon State.
SEC
Florida vs. Alabama. Both teams will likely be undefeated heading into this rematch between the last two SEC champions. The Tide are rebuilding their defense, and the Gators are rebuilding their offense. The edge goes to Bama since they are playing at home, but don't be surprised if Meyer sneaks out the win. Runner up....Florida vs. Georgia.
