MSU was a -12 favorite against Maryland.  The Spartans come into this game with just one loss.  They were seeing just shy of 75% of the betting action.  The Spartans beat Maryland 24-7.

The Buckeyes were a -16.5 favorite against Illinois and dismantled them Saturday 28-3.  They remain undefeated this season.

The Oklahoma vs. Baylor game has the heaviest volume though action was more balanced.  The Sooners were seeing slightly more action, but not enough for bookies to feel the pinch following their Saturday cover.
