It's almost impossible to differentiate who is making the worst decisions these days: The Locksmith with his picks against the spread or Mario Cristobal's end-game coaching.

Outside a Pac-12 clash between unbeatens Washington and Oregon, and a quarterback showdown between Miachel Penix and Bo Nix, there's not much that jumps out with Saturday's schedule.

USC-Notre Dame could have been a marquee game, but the Irish's bizarre offensive playcalling has them in the role of spoiler now.

Miami-North Carolina is another that should have grabbed the nation's attention until Cristobal pulled a Fred Merkle (look it up if you're too young to get the reference).

Because of the Locksmith's ongoing mediocrity this week's games are offered without comment.

NORTH CAROLINA over Miami, giving 3 1/2
