No. 17 Cincinnati at No. 24 Utah is the big game in the Big 12, with the upstart Bearcats looking to extend their winning streak to eight games. The game of the week in the Atlantic Coast Conference is No. 10 Miami at SMU, the teams' first meeting since the Mustangs joined the league last year.

Ohio State is a 20.5-point favorite over the Nittany Lions, the first time Ohio State has been favored by at least 20 points since 2019. The over/under is 43.5 points. Penn State covered the spread for the first time this season in a 25-24 loss at Iowa on Oct. 18.

Led by arguably the best defense in college football, Ohio State has outscored teams 255-41 through seven games. That’s with the ups and downs the offense has had with new quarterback Julian Sayin, a completely new rushing attack and two new play callers in Brian Hartline on offense and Matt Patricia on defense.
