College football Week 13 predictions, picks: Ohio State-Indiana, Alabama-Oklahoma
College Football HQ makes our final predictions for the most important games on the Week 13 schedule today, as things kick off around the country and with playoff selection drawing near.
And what a week it could be, loaded with postseason implications not only for likely automatic-bid contenders, but also those teams looking to take a step forward in the crowded field for one of the at-large playoff positions, too.
Especially in the Big Ten, as Ohio State and Indiana meet in a top-five clash that will directly impact how the conference title game eventually looks, and give the selection committee plenty of ammunition to use against the loser when selection day comes around.
We’ll see some very important games in the Big 12, too, as that league finds itself having to sort out a very crowded top half of the standings over the last two games of the season: BYU looks to avoid a second loss at contender Arizona State, and second-place Colorado is on the road against the Kansas team that just gave the Cougars their first loss.
As the Week 13 college football schedule kicks off around the country, let’s lock in our final predictions for the biggest games today.
College football Week 13 predictions, picks
Washington State vs. Oregon State
SI picks: Washington State | The Cougars may be coming off a disappointing loss at New Mexico that dropped them to 8-2, but the Beavers don’t pose much of a threat when going against John Mateer and the Wazzu aerial attack.
Illinois vs. Rutgers
SI picks: Rutgers | A very evenly matched game between two defenses that will keep the total low, but home field advantage might be enough to push the Scarlet Knights over the line.
Iowa State vs. Utah
SI picks: Iowa State | Any chance the Utes have of pulling off the upset at home depend on their tough defense, but the Cyclones are still playing for Big 12 title contention, and should be able to get enough to avoid another loss.
