Oregon State was the only ranked team in college football action on Friday night, but the #23 school lost 24-21 to Washington, although they did cover the spread as 4-point underdogs. Duke beat Boston College 38-31 but also failed to cover.

Best Bet of the Day
CFB: Penn State -14 over Indiana Hoosiers
3:30 pm ET, ABC
Bloomington should be electric this afternoon when the Penn State Nittany Lions come to town to take on the Indiana Hoosiers. The Nittany Lions looked good in defeat to Ohio State last week, leading at halftime and scoring 30+ points for the 6th time this season. The Hoosiers, meanwhile, are riding a 5-game losing streak after suffering a come-from-behind loss to Rutgers their last time out. Their offense has been okay, but they have been absolutely gashed on defense. Indiana has been historically bad in terms of covering, going a dreadful 5-16 ATS in its last 21 games — including 2-5 in its last 7. Read our full Penn State vs Indiana predictions.
