The Pick: Florida State -9.5

If you can get this under 10, siding with the favorites is the way to go in this matchup. The Seminoles are ranked inside the top 11 in yards per play against FBS opponents on both sides of the ball, and the Oklahoma defense is by far the worst unit on the field in this matchup. Look for Florida State to roll thanks to the balance offensively and defensively.
