In this installment of the Blood Bank Guarantee, Clay takes aim at arguably the most important week of the college football season thus far, with two Top 10 matchups featuring Stanford at Notre Dame, and Ohio State at Penn State acting as a de facto playoff game in September's final weekend.
Ohio State is a 3.5-point favorite on the road in Happy Valley with Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins ranking second in the country in passing touchdowns, but defensive end Nick Bosa's absence will put Ohio State's pass rush under the microscope against a Nittany Lions offense that leads the conference in scoring.

Syracuse @ #3 Clemson (12:00 PM).
Pittsburgh @ #13 Central Florida (3:30 PM).
