Top predictions from college football experts for Week 8
One of Sallee’s top college football picks for Week 8: He likes UCF (now +17, opened at +19.5) to be within the range of No. 6 in a Big 12 opener at noon ET on Saturday Oklahoma remains. The Sooners have won just two of their last five games by more than 20 points and are in a disappointing spot after their rival victory over then-No. 3 Texas. Both teams have had their bye weeks, negating a rest advantage for both teams.
The Knights earned a road win at Boise State in Week 2 and stayed within two touchdowns of Kansas State last month. They tend to play their best football this time of year, covering the spread in five of their last seven games in October. Senior quarterback John Rhys Plumlee has missed most of the last four games with a leg injury, but he made significant progress during the off week and will start Saturday.
