The Week 10 college football schedule is on the light side, with seven of the Top 25 teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll idle. But that still gives our panel of prognosticators plenty of matchups to consider as we kick off the month of November.

Topping the marquee, of course, is the top-five showdown in State College as No. 3 Penn State hosts No. 4 Ohio State. The Big Ten’s other two unbeaten squads will be visiting the Great Lake State as No. 1 Oregon takes on Michigan and No. 13 Indiana heads to Michigan State.

It’s also an important Saturday in the ACC, which features the only other ranked matchup on the slate as No. 17 Pittsburgh puts its perfect record on the line at No. 20 SMU. Elsewhere, No. 5 Miami (Fla.) hosts Duke and No. 8 Clemson hosts Louisville.
