Since it is Saturday and I am off, I figured I would offered my guesses, not unlike the great Karnac, for this Saturday's Top 25 college football games against the point spread. By all means, do not use this as a gambking tool, I could easily miss each and every one of these.
The spread is for the ranked (or higher ranked team) in case you were wondering. Also of note, Oklahoma (#10) is off, therefore not listed and Ole Miss (#4) played Thursday night and lost. What you have here is the remainder of the top 25. Later today we will see just how bad I sucked.

Michigan 36 Indiana 33 - again had the winner but the winner failed to cover the spread, record is 1-2
Georgia Tech 24 North Carolina 3 - My first favorite to actually cover, GT easily wins by more than 3, record 2-2
