NCAA week 13 picks

Well its been three fun and to fast months, but we have finally reached the final full Saturday of NCAA football. Theres still technically two more Saturdays left after this one, but next week is championship Saturday, and the week after Army/Navy week, so this is the last week of full conference slates. There is still a bit to be determined as well, but well get into that after my picks. I went 4-2 in Big Ten games last week, now standing at 34-8 on the season, while going 2-3 outside the Big ten, now standing at 23-19 on the season in those games. Here we go

Wisconsin at Penn st: Pick: Penn st
Michigan at Ohio st: Pick: Ohio st
Nebraska at Iowa: Pick: Nebraska
Michigan st at Minnesota: pick: Michigan st
Indiana at Purdue: Pick: Purdue
Illinois at Northwestern: Pick: Northwestern

Outside the Big Ten: I couldnt pick just 5 games I wanted to pick this week, so heres a special extra large picks edition for rivalry week

TCU at Texas: Pick: TCU
Arizona st at Arizona: Pick: Arizona
Washington at Washington st: Pick: Washington
Notre Dame at USC: Pick: Notre Dame
Auburn at Alabama: Pick: Alabama
Georgia Tech at Georgia: Pick: Georgia
Florida at Florida st: Pick: Florida st
Oregon at Oregon st: pick: Oregon st
Stanford at UCLA: Pick: Stanford
South Carolina at Clemson: Pick: Clemson
Oklahoma st at Oklahoma: Pick: Oklahoma st
West Virginia at Iowa st: Pick: Iowa st

Big Ten standings: Only 3 teams have a rose bowl hope left, and heres how it stacks up. Wisconsin is in the championship game, Nebraska is in with a win over Iowa OR a Michigan loss. Michigan is in with a win AND a Nebraska loss. Pretty simple

Legends
1. Nebraska (6-1)
2. Michigan (6-1)
3. Northwestern (4-3)E
4. Minnesota (2-5)E
5. Iowa (2-5)E
6. Michigan st (2-5)E

Leaders
1. Wisconsin (4-3) *
2. Purdue (2-5) E
3. Indiana (2-5) E
4. Illinois (0-7) E

In the ACC title game Florida st has clinched a spot, they will face either Georgia Tech or Miami. If Miami beats Duke, they are in, if they lose to Duke, its Georgia Tech

In the Big twelve its a 3 way race between Kansas st, Oklahoma, and Texas. Theres two full weeks left in the Big twelve season so its still a tad muddy, but if Kstate wins their last game, they are Big 12 champs, if they lose, it could get a little crazy

In the Big East its a two team race between Louisville and Rutgers, and will probably come down to the game between the two of them on November 29th. A Rutgers win and Louisville loss this week makes Rutgers the champ.

In the Pac-12 UCLA has clinched their division. in the north, Stanford gets in with a win OR an Oregon loss. Oregon gets in with a win AND a Stanford loss

The SEC is the only conference decided, its going to be Alabama vs Georgia in the championship game.

Finally, the National Championship picture. Alabama wont lose to Auburn so basically Notre Dame and Alabama are one win away for the National Championship. if Georgia beats Alabama, they are probably in, assuming they dont lose this weekend. If Notre Dame loses, it opens the door for Florida and Oregon to get in the picture. In a nuclear scenario that sees Notre Dame, Oregon, Florida all lose this weekend, Kansas st is let back in the picture, maybe even LSU or Florida st. Should be a fun week with so much to still be decided.
