Each week during the 2016 college football season, I will offer my picks and best bets for the biggest games, and I will highlight a handful of other key matchups.

Last season, my selections went 104-33 (76 percent) picking the straight-up winners during the regular season and 74-61-2 (55 percent) against the spread.

My selections are off to a slower start this year, at 34-18 straight up (65 percent) and 24-26-2 ATS. On the weekly podcast with Anita Marks and Doug Kezirian, my selections are 12-7-1 ATS on the year, so check that out this Friday.

Here are my selections for this week's big games.

I picked Utah to win at home over Arizona last week. The Utes trailed 14-3 but rolled the rest of the game. They outscored the Wildcats 36-3 until allowing a late 63-yard touchdown pass in garbage time. Oregon State will feel it can win this game after beating Cal at home in Week 6 -- the same Bears team that dealt Utah its only loss of the year two weeks ago.
