Wisconsin (6-0) vs. Maryland (3-3)
Wisconsin is rolling and has a Heisman candidate in freshman running back, Jonathan Taylor who looks like he’s the next great Badgers back. Maryland began the year with an impressive win over Texas, but a win over Wisconsin would trump that in a big way. The chances of that happening aren’t too great, however, so don’t bet the house on the Terps.
Odds: Maryland has a 5 percent chance of winning.
Miami (5-0) vs. Syracuse (4-3)
Miami may be the least impressive undefeated team so far. They have played the fewest amount of games and their marquee win over Florida State isn’t that impressive considering the Noles are in the midst of their worst season in years. Syracuse is riding high after upsetting No. 2 Clemson at their place last week and will look to win as a massive underdog. A win against the Canes won’t be easy, but there’s a chance Dino Babers’ team can do it.
Odds: Syracuse has a 20 percent chance of winning.
USF (6-0) vs Tulane (3-3)
There have been long stretches where USF didn’t look like an undefeated team this year, but, has persevered and heads into Tulane on Saturday night. Anything can happen when you go on the road.
Odds: 33 percent chance of winning.
UCF (5-0) vs. Navy (5-1)
UCF is one of the best stories of the season and boasts one of the nation’s best-kept secrets in quarterback McKenzie Milton. The Knights are averaging more than 50 points per game offensively and the defense has been stout as well, allowing 16.8 points. Navy is coming off their first loss of the year so the Midshipmen will come in with added motivation and need this win to stay alive in the AAC chase.

Odds: Navy has a 25 percent chance of winning.
So the undefeated teams most likely to lose this week are USF, UCF and Miami. Penn State will get tested by Michigan, but should escape with the win. The other five undefeated teams should be safe this week, but the chances of getting to the College Football Playoff with more than one undefeated team will be a surprise so prepare for more chaos in the coming weeks.
