SALT LAKE CITY — Coming off the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season, we get one of the biggest games of the year as No. 1 Tennessee travels to Athens to take on defending champs No. 3 Georgia.
Though Georgia is favored by more than a touchdown, we couldn't ignore this game for Pick'em this week. Can Tennessee pull of the "upset" and maintain its undefeated run, or does it end on Saturday? We're excited to see it unfold in the afternoon game.
BYU travels to Boise State on a four-game losing skid and finds itself as a touchdown underdog against a bitter rival. A win against the Broncos in hostile territory would go a long way to help the team rebound and be one step closer to bowl eligibility, but just over 30% of BYU fans have faith their Cougars will get it done.
Utah State and Utah fans, however, have all the belief that their respective teams will get it done against lesser opponents at home. Both fan bases have more than 98% of their fans picking their team to win.
