In Week 9, Georgia turned the World’s Largest Cocktail Party against Florida into a rout, rolling to a 34-7 win. The score was 3-0, Georgia, just before the half, before a pair of turnovers and quick scores made the halftime score 17-0, and things went downhill from there. Cincinnati struggled in the first half from Tulane but recovered to win, 31-12. Oklahoma rolled over Texas Tech, 52-21, to keep its unbeaten season going.

NCAA News: Must-Bet Games for Week 10
#11 Oklahoma State (-2.5) at West Virginia
The West Virginia Mountaineers are only 4-4, but at home, they are one of the toughest teams in the nation. They beat Virginia Tech at home, 27-21, when the Hokies were ranked #15. They took down then-#22 Iowa State at home this past weekend, 38-31. Next up on the Mountaineers’ slate are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who are 7-1. They fell to Iowa State two weeks ago but then rebounded with a win over hapless Kansas last weekend.
This will be another Big 12 matchup that features tons of offense, which means that the team that wins could end up with the ball last could end up winning. West Virginia is a home underdog here, but their offense is high-octane and could keep up with the Cowboys. That means that the Mountaineers provide you with some value. Given their momentum at home, this is a smart pick.

#12 Auburn (+4) at #13 Texas A&M
Both of these teams come in at 6-2. The Aggies are the only team that has beaten Alabama, while Auburn has beaten Arkansas (who beat the Aggies) and Ole Miss the last two weeks. The point spread here only accounts for the home field advantage, basically.
Texas A&M comes in off the bye week having won three games in a row. They have Isaiah Spiller (761 rushing yards, five scores) and Devon Achane (608 yards, five scores) to key the running game. That sort of pounding should prove difficult for Auburn to deal with. Texas A&M beat Auburn last year, ending a three-year losing streak in the SEC West rivalry, and the Aggies have the offense to make it happen again this week.

#10 Wake Forest (+2.5) at North Carolina
This week marks the Demon Deacons’ first ascent into the AP Top 10 in the history of the program — but Wake Forest is still an underdog at unranked North Carolina. Wake Forest (8-0) has scored at least 35 points in each game; in the last three games, the Demon Deacon offense has scored a total of 155 points.
North Carolina also has a stout offense, thanks to the strong work of quarterback Sam Howell. However, they come in at 4-4, with three losses in their last five contests, including a setback at Notre Dame this past Saturday. Wake Forest has not won at North Carolina in 15 years, but there is scant reason to suspect that their offense will not be able to handle this week’s challenge.

#5 Michigan State (-2.5) at Purdue
Michigan State mounted a furious comeback to defeat Michigan at home this weekend, notching their biggest victory in years, and they look like a team that could not just make the College Football Playoff but also do some damage while they are there. Kenneth Walker III scored five touchdowns, rushing for 197 yards, in the Spartans’ win. Purdue (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) has a huge road win over Iowa on their resume, but they are more likely to be a team playing for bowl eligibility than much of a spoiler at this point.
