College football picks: Predictions, odds for key top 25 games in Week 10

Key Points:

• Saturday features seven key college football games between top-25 teams, all with significant College Football Playoff (CFP) implications, including matchups like No. 9 BYU vs. No. 3 Utah and No. 1 Miami vs. No. 11 Notre Dame.
• The Big 12 race could be influenced by the Utah-BYU rivalry, while the SEC has a stacked slate with Texas vs. Missouri, Alabama vs. LSU, and Ole Miss aiming to secure a playoff spot against Georgia despite missing star running back Kewan Lacy.
• Ohio State and Oregon, both dealing with injuries to star quarterbacks, face off in a critical game that could affect Big Ten playoff bids, as Ohio State looks to prove its playoff worth without Julian Sayin.
• Other notable games include Kentucky vs. Tennessee, which could shape CFP chances for both, and the traditional Army-Air Force rivalry, expected to hinge on big plays rather than statistical trends.
• Expert picks highlight Texas, BYU, and Tennessee as slight favorites, while predictions for over/under points suggest a mix of high-scoring shootouts and lower-scoring defensive battles across the weekend's matchups.
