Mornin', folks! Slim pickings today, but several good opportunities for the Big East to help (and avoid hurting) its national rep as it gets two more opportunities to top the ACC and one more shot at taking down the MAC. I'll be hosting a chat at 10 a.m. on CoverItLive and will be tweeting all of the action throughout the day's contests, so be sure to follow along here. We'll also have our guy David Hale, from NoleNation, on the ground in Tampa, Fla., so be sure to follow him throughout tonight's Florida State-South Florida contest as well. Any breaking news or injury updates, as always, will be here as soon as we get info.

In case you missed it from earlier this week: Our predictions, along with what to watch.

One last look at today's lineup, with some of our coverage from the past week:

• Buffalo at Connecticut, noon, Big East Network: UConn looks to get its offense on track as it hopes to finish its nonconference slate with a winning record against the MAC.
• Virginia Tech at Cincinnati (in Landover, Md.), 3:30 ET, ESPNU: The Bearcats are treating this contest like a road game.
• No. 4 Florida State at South Florida, 6 p.m. ET, ESPN: To say this is a huge test for the Bulls would be an understatement.
• No. 19 Louisville at Southern Miss, 8 p.m. ET, CBS Sports: The Cardinals are hoping for better sack results after four weeks.
