The college football season is past the halfway point along with the push for a bowl game or the College Football Playoff is on. There are a number of large spreads for some of these AP Top 25 teams, notably: No. 4 Ohio State (-28) at Northwestern, West Virginia at No. 5 Oklahoma (-33.5), No. 6 Wisconsin (-31) at Illinois and Tennessee in No. 1 Alabama (-34.5).
The largest line movement one of the ranked teams so far is UL Monroe at No. 24 Appalachian State where the Mountaineers opened at -17 and have??dropped into -14.5. Meanwhile, the largest total motion is at the No. 6 Wisconsin in Illinois game where the total started at 52 points and has fallen to 49.5.
Below is a listing of all of the spreads and spreads for the ranked games at Week 8.

Temple vs SMU Game Center
Line History
Temple picked up its second victory over a ranked opponent a week by edging then-No. The Owls, and now 23 Memphis search round the road at SMU to get a third. Outside of a nasty loss at Buffalo in Week 3, Temple may be in the 25 itself. The Mustangs are coming off their bye week in Week 7 and bring a record to the rear half of the season. Additionally, SMU is 5-1 ATS, only failing to cover its final time out against Tulsa.
This line has moved into over a touchdown for SMU now, which I find a little surprising as -6.5 looked like an appropriate line. The Mustangs have a solid balance on crime and on the ground, while the Owls lean more on their assault with QB Anthony Russo. Defensively, while the Mustangs are in quitting quarterbacks just so-so Temple is far much better and is strong against the run sport.
Temple has covered the last three meetings in each with SMU, such as winning two of those games outright, but that can be their first meeting since 2016. That said the prior three contests between these universities have been -12 (Temple, 2016), -13.5 (Temple, 2015) and -14 (SMU, 2013). I anticipate a bit of a buyback for the Owls and this line final about -7 for the Mustangs.
Michigan vs Penn State Game Center
Line History
The Nittany Lions eye??victories over ranked opponents. 17 Iowa last week 17-12. Meanwhile stomped on the street. 13 Wisconsin at Week 4, Michigan has rattled off three straight wins, including a triumph over then-No. 14 Iowa, and it revealed some prowess in Illinois and Rutgers against weaker groups.
The Wolverines have experienced the Nittany Lions amount recently, going 4-1 SU and ATS but that lone loss came at Beaver Stadium in 2017 from the previous contest. Penn State won that match 42-13 and it was also the only time the Nittany Lions was preferred over Michigan.
Penn State has had a much better offense and defense compared to Michigan this year but has had any vulnerabilities in its secondary, surrendering an average of 205.8 passing yards per game. On the other hand, the Nittany Lions will happily let Wolverines QB Shea Patterson attempt to beat on them as hes the lowest pass completion percentage of their profession and got the lowest yards per completion. I could observe this lineup continue to move in favour of Penn State.
Boise State vs BYU Game Center
Line History
Because it makes its way through the Mountain West at 5-1 ATS and 6-0 SU boise State proceeds to climb the ranks. The Broncos faced some adversity a week as their quarterback left the game but copy Chase Cord filled in admirably. On the other side, BYU is coming home when it edged then-No, looking its first win. 24 USC 30-27 in overtime.
Although the Broncos have had the Cougars amount recently, winning five of their last seven meetings since 2012, they have only covered in 2 of these games. Boise State was favored between these teams, with four of these with a spread of a touchdown or longer.
BYUs offense has been anemic this year, averaging 22.3 points per game, which does not bode well this week since Boise State ranks 27th in school soccer with just 19.5 points allowed per game. It is somewhat surprising to see this line remain stagnant thus far and it might remain there weekly, but I feel itll move in favour of Boise State, if it goes.
Oregon vs Washington Game Center
Line History
After dropping in its season opener against then-No. 16 Auburn, Oregon has rattled off five consecutive wins. Meanwhile, the Washington is still a hard team to gaugefalling to Cal and Stanford, while earning a success over then-No. 21 taking care of business and USC.
The Ducks have been a reliable wager against the Huskies, winning eight of the past ten meetings and covering seven of these, but they are 1-2 ATS within the last three. Last year, Oregon had been a 3.5-point underdog at home to Washington and won 30-27. Now were viewing a 6.5-point swing along with the Ducks will be on the road.
Both teams typical the same amount of points per game and have been strong. However, the Ducks??defense has enabled the third-fewest points a game this season and has been really tough against opposing running backs, allowing just 107.5 rushing yards per game. That may be a problem for Washington as it averages 178.7 rushing yards per game. If you are a Huskies backer, I think this line will visit +3.5 as we close kickoff.
