California at Nevada – 10:00 PM ET on ESPN2
Two of the NCAA’s best rushing offenses will clash in this battle. A big part of Cal’s success early on has been its defense. Now they will be tested with the Wolf Pack’s potent pistol offense led by dual-threat quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, and running back Vai Taua. Up next: at Arizona.
Prediction: Nevada – Bet Now
Odds: California: -3 – Nevada: +3 – Over/Under: 66

Washington State @ Southern Methodist – 3:30 PM ET

Odds: Washington State: +23.5 – SMU: -23.5 – Over/Under: 57.5

#18 USC @ Minnesota – 3:30 PM on ESPN

Arizona State @ #11 Wisconsin – 3:30 PM ET on ABC
Both the Sun Devils and the Badgers remains undefeated after two non-conference wins to start the 2010 season.

But can they stop 250-pound running back John Clay? They will if they want to win. Up next: at Oregon.

Louisville @ #25 Oregon State – 5:30 PM ET
Oregon State has had some time to ponder its 30-21 defeat to then-No. 6 TCU, and will look to get star Jacquizz Rodgers back on track as they try to win their ninth straight home opener. The Beavers should be able to handle a rebuilding Louisville team fairly-easily. Up next: Boise State.

#23 Houston @ UCLA – 10:30 PM ET
UCLA looked as though they may have dodged a bullet by not having to face Houston’s Case Keenum (concussion). But with the emergence of Houston’ s running game, it still could be bad news for UCLA, which has allowed an average of 268.0 yards on the ground in its two losses to rank next-to-last in the Pac-10. Moreover, who will be UCLA’s quarterback after Kevin Prince was benched in the fourth quarter versus Stanford. Up next: at Texas.

Wake Forest @ #19 Stanford – 11:15 PM ET on ESPN2
