Sunday
Cincinnati at Clemson: The Tigers are still waiting for a name win. This could be the first of the season. Clemson has gone through the first month unbeaten, but under the radar. The Tigers will get noticed if they win.

North Carolina at Florida State: The ACC season begins in December with a suddenly-marquee matchup. The Tar Heels got cooled off the past week while the Seminoles are a one-point loss to Florida away from being undefeated.

Villanova at Dayton: The Wildcats are stumbling, but so too is Dayton. Both teams could use a boost to their confidence.

Minnesota at Oregon: The Gophers are two different teams -- one at home and a different breed on the road. Don't expect the Gophers to find their identity in one of the top five homecourts in the country. This is also a tough homecoming for Dan Monson where his father Don was once the head coach.
