#14 USC Trojans at Hawaii Warriors – 11:00 PM ET on ESPN
The Trojans will play their first game of the Lane Kiffin Era against the Warriors, a team that they have historically dominated scoring over 60 points in their last two meetings. Meanwhile, Hawaii returns 12 starters and a pass game that was third nationally and 14th in total offense in 2009. I really don’t see USC losing this one, and if they come out fast, hard and motivated, this one could get lopsided in a hurry. Up next: Virginia.
Prediction: USC – Bet Now
Odds: USC: -21 – Hawaii: +21 – Over/Under: 54

Arizona at Toledo – 8:00 PM ET on ESPN
The Rockets welcome back 12 starters from a 5-7 team, and scored the second most points in the MAC a year ago. The defense however was their downfall, allowing almost 38 points per game and giving up a MAC-worst 241 passing yards per game. Arizona should not take this game lightly, though it’s hard to imagine the Rockets defense will be able to keep up with Nick Foles and company. Up next: The Citadel.
Prediction: Arizona – Bet Now
Odds: Arizona: -15.5 – Toledo: +15.5 – Over/Under: 60

UCLA at Kansas Sate – 8:00 PM ET on ABC
The Bruins, who finished the 2009 season with an overall record of 7-1, shut downed the ‘Cats 23-9 at the Rose Bowl last September, as UCLA’s offensive and defensive lines dominated the Wildcats, recording a season-high six sacks and allowing none. The Wildcats welcome back 12 starters from a 6-6 team. The big question mark will be if quarterback Kevin Prince –currently suffering an oblique injury– will be healthy enough to start, while the inexperienced offensive line is tested to the max. Up next: Stanford.
Prediction: Kansas State – Bet Now
Odds: UCLA: +1.5 – Kansas State: -1.5 – Over/Under: 45

New Mexico at #11 Oregon – 8:00 PM
The Lobos return 11 starters from a squad that went 1-11 in last season. New Mexico’s week defense should give new Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas plenty of opportunities to gain some early experience. Running back LaMichael James is suspended for this one, but still look for the Ducks to start their bid for the Rose Bowl with an early season win in this one. Up next: At Tennessee.
Prediction: Oregon – Bet Now
Odds: New Mexico : +34 – Oregon: -34 – Over/Under: 55

UC Davis at California – 8:00 PM ET
Cal gets an easy one for their home opener against FCS foe UC Davis in this contest The Golden Bears are not expected to have a great season this year, but quarterback Kevin Riley is likely to complete more than 60 percent or better of his passes against the Aggies on Saturday. Up next: Colorado.
Prediction: California – Bet Now

Sacramento State at Stanford – 8:00 PM ET
The Cardinal look like a contender for the PAC 10 crown and Heisman hopeful Andrew Luck gets an opportunity to add some big numbers to his stats columns against weaker FCS foe, Sacramento State. It will also be a good chance for the new look 3-4 defense and remodeled running game to get some quality non-conference work before a visit to UCLA nest weekend. Up next: At UCLA
Prediction: Stanford – Bet Now

Washington State at Oklahoma State – 8:00 PM ET
The Cowboys, who welcome back just eight starters from a 9-4 team, beat the Cougars 39-13 the last time these two teams tangled back in 2008. Despite the fact that Oklahoma State is rebuilding, that shouldn’t stop them from dismantling the Cougars’ defense. At first I pondered the thought that this could be the PAC-10 upset of the week—but then I thought again. Up next: Montana State.
Prediction: Oklahoma State – Bet Now
Odds: Washington State: +15.5 – Oklahoma State: -15.5 – Over/Under: 49.5

Washington at Brigham Young – 8:00 PM ET
Another PAC-10 Heisman hopeful will have to pick up win number one on the road, as Jake Locker and the Huskies travel to Provo to take on a tough BYU team who welcomes back 12 starters from an 11-2 team a year ago. The Huskies will look to avenge a 28-27 loss from 2008 at Washington after Locker was flagged for tossing the ball into the air after scoring what appeared to a tying touchdown, pending the PAT. UW missed the extra-point attempt and the chance to pick up the win. Up next: Syracuse.
Prediction: Washington – Bet Now
Odds: Washington: +2 – BYU: -2 – Over/Under: 56.5

#24 Oregon State at #6 TCU – 8:00 PM ET on ESPN
The Horned Frogs welcomes back 16 starters from a 12-1 team last season and will be a arduous test for the Beavers and new sophomore starting QB Ryan Katz. There should be lot of lone star support for TCU, as fans from within 100 miles of the stadium will want to see their Horn Frogs play. But you can count on the Rodgers brothers — Texas natives– James and Jacquizz to do their best to keep the hometown celebrations to a minimum. But 6th ranked TCU will not be an easy team to run or pass on and boast a pretty good offense of their own led by QB Andy Dalton. This should be a good match up and will prove whether Oregon State should be considered a serious contender this season for winning the PAC 10. Up next: Bye.
Prediction: TCU – Bet Now
Odds: Oregon State : +13.5 – TCU: -13.5 – Over/Under: 50.5

Portland State at Arizona State – 8:00 PM ET
The week wraps up with the Sun Devils looking to make a statement with their new-look offense against the first of two FCS opponents to start the season. All-American Vontaze Burfict should have a field day against Portland State and so should newly appointed ASU QB Steven Threet. Up next: Northern Arizona.
Prediction: Arizona State – Bet Now
