Each week during the 2015 college football season, I will offer up my selections and scores for the weekend's biggest games and a handful of other key matchups.
This year has started off on a solid note. In the first four weeks, my selections have now gone 34-6 (85 percent) picking the straight-up (SU) winners and 23-17 (58 percent) against the spread (ATS).
So far this year, there have been 10 meetings between ranked teams. The higher-rated team is 8-2 SU, but the underdog is 6-4 ATS in those matchups. This week is the biggest week to date, with five matchups between ranked teams.
Note: Lines from Westgate SuperBook as of Thursday morning.
No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish at No. 12 Clemson Tigers (-2)
8 p.m. ET, ABC
College GameDay will be on hand for this one, and Clemson has one of the best entrances in college football. The Tigers have the QB advantage with Deshaun Watson and the home-field edge as well. Toss in the fact that Notre Dame is just 2-10 in true road games versus ranked teams, and Clemson looks like the easy play.
