Line: ND by 14 1/2; O/U: 52 1/2

Briefly: An ideal matchup for Yankee Stadium, where the Irish authored some of the biggest moments in college football history.

Line: UNC by 2 1/2; O/U: 56 1/2

Briefly: The Bearcats looked to be trouble when starting quarterback Munchie Legeax went down early with a season-ending injury, but Brandon Kay was terrific in coach Tommy Tuberville’s first season. It’s the second straight trip to Charlotte for Cincinnati, which beat Duke here last year. Tar Heels quarterback Marquise Williams also was an injury replacement and leads the team in rushing with 531 yards.

Line: LOU by 3 1/2; O/U: 56 1/2

Briefly: This is Teddy Bridgewater’s final college game, right? He’s made some noise about returning to college next season. He was solid this year, with 28 touchdowns and four interceptions but the Heisman campaign faltered as the season progressed. The Hurricanes climbed to No. 7 in the polls but faded late.

Line: KSU by 3 1/2; O/U: 55 1/2

Briefly: Teams with the same record feel differently about the season. K-State won five of its last six; the Wolverines lost four of their last five. The Wildcats look to end a five-game bowl losing streak, four by Bill Snyder teams. Michigan is coming off its most impressive game of the season, a 42-41 loss to Ohio State.
