The college regular season concludes this weekend with “Rivalry Week.” The schedule includes teams facing their most despised opponents, and with tensions running high, it could lead to memorable moments.
We saw some great games on Friday, and now we’ve got another whole day of college football on Saturday. It starts with one of the biggest rivalries in college football, as No. 1 Ohio State heads to The Big House to take on No. 15 Michigan.
The Wolverines will be looking to beat the Buckeyes for the fifth consecutive time and ruin OSU’s perfect season. A win against the top team in the country could also help Michigan get an at-large bid in the College Football Playoff.
A potential bid seems at stake between No. 12 Miami and No. 22 Pittsburgh. The Hurricanes need this win to have a chance at reaching the ACC Championship, and even though the Panthers are currently in first place in the conference, a loss could eliminate them from the title game.
Below, we'll dig into Saturday CFB picks for Week 14 in our cheat sheet and list the projections for the top players in college football. PrizePicks is the simplest way to win real money with your CFB picks. Just pick your players, predict More or Less on their projected stats, and cash in if you're correct.
