The Houston Cougars continue their climb up the Big 12 standings as they welcome the West Virginia Mountaineers to TDECU Stadium on Saturday. Houston, ranked No. 22 nationally, enters as one of the conference’s most improved teams under second-year head coach Willie Fritz, while West Virginia searches for its first Big 12 win of the season. Houston (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) comes off a 24-16 road win over then-No. 24 Arizona State, marking its fourth road victory in as many tries and its first over a ranked opponent since 2017. The Cougars have emerged as legitimate title contenders, trailing only BYU and Cincinnati in the conference race. West Virginia (2-6, 0-5) dropped its fifth straight game last week, a 23-17

The Florida State Seminoles return from their bye week desperate to stop a four-game losing streak when they host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday night in Tallahassee. Head coach Mike Norvell’s seat is red hot after Florida State (3-4, 0-4 ACC) fell 38-21 at Stanford on Oct. 18, marking its ninth consecutive ACC defeat.

The Razorbacks were in position to win last week before collapsing late in a 33-24 home loss to Auburn. Mississippi State (4-4, 0-4 SEC) also squandered a late lead in Week 9, blowing a 31-14 advantage in the fourth quarter before falling 45-38 in overtime to Texas. The two programs have traded SEC victories over the past two seasons, and both enter with similar struggles on defense

The Maryland Terrapins enter Week 10 needing a complete effort to slow down a No. 2-ranked Indiana Hoosiers team that’s been overwhelming opponents on both sides of the ball. Indiana is unbeaten at 8-0 and has turned balance into dominance, while Maryland continues to search for consistency after three straight losses. The betting angle comes down to whether Maryland can survive long enough in the trenches to keep this number within reach. Indiana opened as a 21.5-point road favorite, and the spread has held firm with early money staying on the Hoosiers.
