Every Friday throughout the football season, your favorite personalities from WNSP will pick five “games of the week” on the college football slate. We will keep a running record throughout the season and see who earns the bragging rights at the end of the year, and maybe just maybe a Chick Fil A coupon courtesy of Lee Shirvanian.
Here are the games for this week:
Florida @ #14 Utah (Utah won 24-11 last night)
#21 North Carolina @ South Carolina
South Alabama @ #24 Tulane
#9 Clemson @ Duke
