Here's your schedule for the college football games on today for Wednesday.

College football games today: Your schedule for Wednesday

All times Eastern

SMU at UCF
Wed., Oct. 5 | 7 p.m. | ESPN2
Line: UCF -3
FPI pick: UCF 67.7%

SMU against the spread: 1-3

UCF against the spread: 2-2

UCF: Everybody beats Georgia Tech these days (except Pitt), and the Knights pulled through with an easy enough 27-10 victory to close out September. But they struggled passing the ball in the process, once again leaning heavily on a solid rushing attack, which had 284 yards in the win. Quarterback John Rhys Plumlee led the way with 100 of those yards, and UCF as a whole is good for 275.8 on the ground per game, 3rd in college football, an important advantage against the Mustangs' front seven.

SMU: Coming off a loss to a TCU team that destroyed Oklahoma, the Mustangs prefer a pass-first attack, and with sustained success so far, ranking 5th nationally with 353 passing yards per game on average. Wide receiver Jake Bailey is coming off a strong, 163 yard game, while SMU lead back Tre Siggers ran for three scores the last time out.
