Reminder that the game is listed under the home team's conference. If your team isn't listed, it's because you're playing an away game against a cupcake (i.e. FCS team).
Also keep in mind my selections this time are based purely on gut feelings as I don't really know anything this season about any teams other than the ones Ohio State plays.
