Ordered by DeepChamp’s ranking model for how much research attention a game warrants. That is not a prediction and not a pick. Confirm availability with the team before relying on it.

College football has large talent gaps, varied schemes and heavy roster turnover, so researching a number means looking at tempo, depth and scheme rather than relying on a short sample of results.

• Check the final injury and availability reports for Kansas State Wildcats and Arizona State Sun Devils close to the start.
• Confirm quarterback and key-player availability, since depth drops quickly in college football.
• Check pace and the point spread’s size, because large spreads change how often a team passes late.
• Convert any price you are offered to a break-even probability and compare it with your own estimate.
• Write down your reason before you place anything, and decide your unit size in advance.
