Maryland (4-0) routed West Virginia, 37-0 to easily cash as four-point home favorites. The Terrapins have two weeks off prior to their conference opener against Florida State in Tallahassee on October 5.
-- Minnesota (4-0) scored at least 40 points for the third time this season in a 43-24 home triumph over San Jose State. The Golden Gophers begin Big 10 play this Saturday at home against Iowa.
SEC 'chalk' eaters
