Coming off an upset-filled Saturday proves that there are no guarantees when it comes to your Week 8 college football picks. You can look at teams' rankings and observe the latest college football odds, but anyone can win, or lose, on any given Saturday. There are just two ranked matchups on the Week 8 college football schedule, one in the SEC and the other in the Big 12. Texas is a 3.5-point home favorite over Ole Miss, while Utah is favored by 6.5 points over Houston. Claim the latest Polymarket promo code SPORTSLINE to get a $25 trading bonus after a $10 deposit:
Elsewhere, there are number of notable matchups with college football spreads of a touchdown or less. They include LSU vs. Auburn (+7), Indiana vs. Michigan (+7), USC vs. Wisconsin (+3) and BYU vs. UCF (+6.5). The new No. 1 in the Miami Hurricanes are the biggest favorite on Saturday as they're giving 21.5 points to Pittsburgh.
Before making any college football picks for those games or others in Week 8, be sure to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
The model simulates every FBS game 10,000 times. It entered Week 8 on a 59-49 run on all top-rated college football picks, returning nearly $600 to $100 players. Anybody following could have seen strong returns!
Now, it has studied the latest college football odds (see the latest college football lines for each matchup this week on our college football odds page), simulated every single play for every Week 8 game, and the results are in.
One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 8: Utah (-6.5, 56.5) covers in 60% of sims versus Houston in a 10:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Another prediction: Tennessee (+2.5, 50.5) covers at South Carolina nearly 60% of the time. The model also projects the Over to connect in well over 50% of simulations!
