Who's injured? Who's streaking? Who has the advantage in this weekend's games? What tips and trends are out there that could sway your plays? Here's an underground look at what's going down in the World of College Football:

ACC

Key Games: No. 24 Georgia Tech at No. 11 Virginia Tech (-9), 3:30 p.m., Saturday
Houston at Miami (Fl.) (-16), 6 p.m., Saturday
Louisiana Tech at No. 18 Clemson (-33), 7 p.m., Saturday

Conference Notes: Virginia Tech starting wide receiver Josh Morgan and defensive end Chris Ellis, both juniors, have been suspended for Saturday's game for violating team rules, which apparently means getting arrested -- and pepper sprayed for good measure -- outside a Blacksburg, Virginia, nightclub for allegedly inciting a crowd, thus obstructing. This is the first of several tough games -- BC, Southern Miss, Clemson and Miami -- for the Hokies, which are 53 weeks removed from drubbing the Yellow Jackets 51-7 against an 11-point line. … Boston College coach Tom O'Brien said junior kicker Ryan Ohliger will retain his kicking duties for Saturday afternoon's game against Maine, despite missing three extra points in the last two games… The over is 3-0-1 in Louisiana Tech's last four games as a road underdog and 4-0 in Clemson's last four games overall. The Bulldogs are 8-22-1 ATS in their last 31 road games and the Tigers have a 13-3 mark ATS in recent night games…The Houston Cougars are off to their best start, 4-0, since Dave Klingler started 8-0 in 1990 and again have a quarterback leading the way. Senior Kevin Kolb leads all active Division I quarterbacks with 766 career completions and 10,348 career yards. The 'Canes gave up 289 yards and two TDs to Louisville's Brian Brohm and Hunter Cantwell. Miami has not done well of late ATS. The Hurricanes are 8-20 ATS at home and 1-5 in their last six September games.

BIG EAST

Key Games: No. 23 Rutgers (-3.5) at South Florida, 8 p.m., Friday
Toledo at Pittsburgh (-14), noon, Saturday
Wyoming at Syracuse (-5), 1:30 p.m., Saturday

Conference Notes: Pittsburgh starting defensive end Doug Fulmer is out for the season with a left ankle injury. Junior Chris McKillop will move from left end to the right opposite junior Joe Clermond. The Panthers are 23-2 SU against Toledo and other Mid-American Conference opponents, though one of those losses came in 2003 to the then 10-point favorite Toledo, 35-31, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Bruce Gradkowski at the helm…Rutgers is 0-3 ATS in their last three road games as a favorite. The Scarlet Knights are getting caught up in Heisman fever, having promoted fullback Brian Leonard in the preseason and now halfback Ray Rice, who has 604 yards and 9 TDs. The team sent double sided fliers with the team's two possible NFL prospects on each side to voters. South Florida is 1-7 all-time against AP top 25 teams, but that one win came in last year's upset of then-No. 9 Louisville.

SEC

Key Games: No. 2 Auburn (-14) at South Carolina, 7:30 p.m., Thursday
Mississippi State at No. 9 Louisiana State University (-32), 12:30 p.m., Saturday
No. 10 Georgia (-17.5) at Mississippi, 9 p.m., Saturday

Conference Notes: With senior starting quarterback Joe Tereshinski III getting set to come back from a high-ankle sprain in two weeks for Tennessee, Georgia coach Mark Richt said he will make a game-time decision between freshmen Joe Cox (13-18, 201 yards, 2 TDs, 1 Int) and Matthew Stafford (29 of 57, 394 yards, 1 TD, 3 Ints) for Saturday's game against Mississippi. Georgia junior running back Kregg Lumpkin (35 carries, 168 yards, 2TDs) appears to have taken the starting job from junior Thomas Brown. Brown's yards per carry has dropped from 5.0 in 2005 to 2.9 this year on 39 carries, with just 1 TD…Freshman wide receiver Percy Harvin is expected to be close to full speed for Saturday's game against Alabama. Senior defensive tackle Marcus Thomas is still suspended indefinitely for his alleged second substance-abuse violation…Florida State freshman linebacker Marcus Ball is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee…Auburn's senior running back Kenny Irons, who transferred out of South Carolina after failing out toward the end of his sophomore year, missed last week's 38-7 win over Buffalo, but is expected to be back for this Saturday's game. Last year, he scored 2 TDs in a 48-7 win.

WAC

Key Games: No. 22 Boise State at Utah (-4), 3 p.m., Saturday
Colorado State at Fresno State (-13), 10 p.m., Saturday

Conference Notes: Despite being nationally ranked, the Boise State Broncos are an early underdog against unranked Utah. The Broncos are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games as an underdog, but the Utes are 0-4 ATS as home favorites with a spread of 3.5 to 10 points. Boise State is 10-0 SU against Mountain West opponents, while the Utes have won three straight SU against ranked opponents and have No. 17 Texas Christian on the schedule for next week.

Key Games: No. 6 Michigan (-10) at Minnesota, 8:00 p.m., Saturday
No. 1 Ohio State (-6.5) at No. 13 Iowa, 8:05 p.m., Saturday

Conference Notes: Wisconsin looks to rebound after its loss to Michigan. 2-0-1 thus far ATS, the Badgers get struggling Indiana.

No. 2 USC (-17) at Washington State, 7:00 p.m., Saturday

The Huskies are off to a 3-1 start, and the underdog is 8-0 ATS in their last eight meetings… No. 2 USC might be without star receiver Dwayne Jarrett against Wazzou. USC has cruised in the last three meetings, while the over has hit in the last nine night games for the Cougars…Cal comes off its Berkeley beat down of Arizona State and visits Oregon State. The Beavers upset Cal last year in California and are 28-13-1 ATS over their last 42 home games…The undefeated Ducks head to Tempe to clash with the Sun Devils.

At 2-2, head coach Bobby Ross has begun the team's rise out from its recent awful couple of seasons…4-0 Houston has thrived under senior quarterback Kevin Kolb. The Cougars visit Miami fresh out of the top 25 and under .500 at 1-2…Troy continues its tough non-conference schedule.
