The Pac-12 rejoins the college football party in Week 10 with a full slate of games.

With the Pac-12 coming back , all five Power 5 college football conferences will be playing.

This will be the first week of November in the college football landscape. Though it will be the first week of action for the Pac-12, conferences like the Big 12 already have next to no shot of getting a team into the College Football Playoff. While the No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers had their second game on the season canceled this week, there are plenty of games to keep an eye on this week.

There are two games of note happening on Friday night. While the North Carolina State Wolfpack won’t upset the No. 11 Miami Hurricanes, there is a chance the No. 21 Boise State Broncos do enough to hand the No. 9 BYU Cougars a loss on that blue turf of Albertsons Stadium. Though I’m not projecting an upset on Friday, I am projecting two to happen in the early window on Saturday.

I have the No. 23 Michigan Wolverines defeating the No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington, as well as the unranked Virginia Tech Hokies handing the No. 25 Liberty Flames their first loss of the season. With this being untrodden territory for both Indiana and Liberty, the more traditional football powers in Michigan and Virginia Tech will prevail on their way to victories.

In the mid-afternoon window, keep an eye on two games. Of course, it could go either way down in Jacksonville between the No. 8 Florida Gators and the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs. If you know me, you know where my allegiances lie in this rivalry series. Also keep an eye on the unranked Kansas State Wildcats pulling off the upset at home over the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys.

As for the late window on Saturday, all of our eyes should be glued to the game going on up in South Bend. Even with a backup quarterback in D.J. Uiagalelei, look for the No. 1 Clemson Tigers to stay perfect vs. the No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. However, there is a way that Notre Dame pulls off the upset, and that way starts and ends with Ian Book playing well for the Irish.
