AP Nos. 25-21
No. 25 UCF at USF, 7 p.m. ET
This year's "War on I-4" isn't as highly anticipated as some of the previous years' matchups, likely because USF is currently riding a nine-game losing streak. The Bulls fired head coach Jeff Scott in early November and have been led by interim head coach Daniel Da Prato.
UCF has been a bit inconsistent this season, as well. The Knights were 5-2, with losses to Louisville and East Carolina, but it looked like they could still play for a New Year's Six Bowl after getting wins over ranked opponents Cincinnati and Tulane and improving to 8-2. But those hopes were dashed last week when the Knights lost 17-14 at home to a 3-7 Navy team.
UCF's offense, led by quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, shouldn't have too many problems scoring on USF's defense. The Bulls rank 130th in scoring defense, allowing 40.7 points per game. A win over USF Saturday would give Knights head coach Gus Malzahn his sixth career nine-win season and second at UCF, with a chance to get to 10 with a bowl game.
Prediction: UCF 41, USF 20
No. 24 Texas vs. Baylor, Noon ET on Friday
Texas is having a successful season in Steve Sarkisian's second year in Austin. A year after going 5-7, the Longhorns are 7-4 following a 55-14 win over Kansas last week, avenging their loss to the Jayhawks last season.
Baylor, meanwhile, is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to TCU. The Bears had a chance to upset the No. 4-ranked team in the nation, but the Horned Frogs nailed a 40-yard game-winning field goal at the buzzer to remain undefeated. Baylor is 6-5 on the season, a big drop-off from the Bears' 12-2 season a year ago in which Baylor won the Big 12.
Baylor and Texas have split their last four contests, but the latter is currently a 9.0-point favorite.
Baylor's defense might have a tough time defending Texas running back Bijan Robinson. Last week against Kansas, he rushed for 243 yards and four touchdowns. The Bears give up an average of 131 yards on the ground per game. I think this one could be a close one, but I like the Longhorns at home here.
Prediction: Texas 24, Baylor 20
No. 23 Coastal Carolina at James Madison, Noon ET
Coastal Carolina is having another successful season under head coach Jamey Chadwell, sitting at 9-1. Meanwhile, James Madison is 7-3 in its first-ever season. The Dukes started the season 5-0 before dropping three straight to Marshall, Louisville and Old Dominion.
Coastal quarterback Grayson McCall is having another outstanding season, recording 2,314 yards through the air and 21 touchdowns with just one interception. James Madison's Todd Centeio has thrown for 2,410 yards and 21 touchdowns with five interceptions.
Coastal will have the benefit of being off last week. The Chanticleers were supposed to play Virginia in Week 12, but the game was canceled following the shooting at UVA that resulted in the deaths of three Virginia football players.
Coastal is a -13.5 underdog, likely due to JMU's 4-1 record at home this season.
Prediction: JMU 37, Coastal 34
No. 22 Oregon State vs. No. 10 Oregon

AP Nos. 20-16
No. 20 Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State, 7 p.m. ET on Thursday
The Egg Bowl rivalry is always a fun one, and it's the only FBS game played this Thanksgiving night. Lane Kiffin is 2-0 in this rivalry since arriving in Oxford, but since the Rebels have dropped two straight games to Alabama and Arkansas, this could be Mississippi State's year.
The Bulldogs are 7-4, but all of their losses came against teams that are either currently ranked or were ranked at the time of play. Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers leads the SEC in passing yards, with 3,474 and 32 touchdowns on the season.
Given Ole Miss' two-game losing streak and this being a rivalry game, the Rebels are slight 2.5-point favorites. Ole Miss losing 42-27 to a struggling Arkansas team has me hesitant to pick the Rebels in this one, but I think they can win at home.
Prediction: Ole Miss 30, Mississippi State 17
No. 19 Tulane vs. No. 21 Cincinnati, Noon ET on Friday
Friday's game between Cincy and Tulane is a pretty big one for the AAC. Both of these teams sit atop the conference, so whoever wins will host the title game. The loser could end up in a three-way tie with UCF and Houston.
Cincinnati has won the last four over Tulane, but the Green Wave are having a great season, enjoying its first-ever campaign ranked inside the College Football Playoff. The Green Wave and Bearcats have identical 9-2 records, with the former losing to Southern Miss and UCF and the latter losing to UCF and Arkansas.
The Bearcats may be at a disadvantage in this one due to their quarterback situation. Cincy QB Ben Bryant exited last week's game against Temple with a foot injury. Backup Evan Prater replaced him and threw for 127 yards in a 23-3 win.
It's unclear what Bryant's status is for Saturday. If he can't play, I think Tulane's offense, which is tied for 25th in scoring nationally, will overpower the Bearcats defense.
Prediction: Tulane 34, Cincinnati 28
No. 18 North Carolina vs. NC State 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday
Both of these teams are coming off of some disappointing results in recent weeks. The Wolfpack have dropped their last two straight against Boston College and Louisville. North Carolina gave up 21 unanswered to Georgia Tech in a 21-17 loss last week.
Nonetheless, North Carolina still has one of the most explosive offenses in the nation. Quarterback Drake Maye leads the nation in total offense with 4,211 total yards and has accounted for 39 total touchdowns.
In the loss to GT, Maye had his worst game of the season, throwing for just 202 yards and an interception. Maye has to be careful with the football against NC State's defense, which is tied for the fourth-most interceptions on the season at 16.
The last two games in this rivalry series have been won by the home team. I think UNC has a lot to prove heading into its ACCCG matchup against Clemson, so I like the Tar Heels here.
Prediction: North Carolina 24, NC State 17
No. 17 UCLA at Cal, 4:30 p.m. on Friday
The UCLA Bruins are coming off a heartbreaking 48-45 loss to USC at home. The good news is that the Bruins should be able to rebound nicely against a struggling Cal team that's 4-7. UCLA has won three out of the last four games in this series, including the last two straight.
UCLA QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson will be looking to improve from his three-interception outing against USC last week. It was a bit uncharacteristic for the QB, who previously threw just four interceptions all season. The Bruins' offense shouldn't have too much trouble scoring on Cal's defense, which ranks 105th nationally in total defense.
UCLA is a 10-point favorite against Cal. I think the Bruins can cover that, and Chip Kelly will have his first-ever nine-win season in Los Angeles.
Prediction: UCLA 42, Cal 24
No. 16. Florida State vs. Florida, 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday
Although this game has been played consistently on Saturday of rivalry week, this one was moved to Friday in primetime, starting this season. Although this rivalry doesn't hold as much weight this year compared to when both programs were powerhouses, it's still a heated rivalry.
Florida State is having its best season under head coach Mike Norvell in 2022 and is riding a four-game win streak. The Noles' 8-3 season is his first season above-.500 in Tallahassee. FSU quarterback Jordan Travis is having the best season of his career, having thrown for 2,526 yards and 21 touchdowns with another five rushing touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Florida is struggling in Billy Napier's first season in Gainesville. The Gators are 6-5 on the season, coming off of a shocking loss to Vanderbilt last week, the first loss to the Commodores in eight seasons.
The one bright spot has been how quarterback Anthony Richardson has played. The Gainesville, Florida, native has thrown for 2,351 yards and 15 touchdowns and rushed for 613 yards with nine touchdowns.
Rivalry games sometimes produce unexpected results. But I think Florida State has too much late-season momentum that Florida won't be able to match.
Prediction: Florida State 24, Florida 17
AP Nos. 15-11
No. 15 Kansas State vs. Kansas, 8 p.m. ET
Both of these teams are having successful seasons. Kansas State has eight wins for the third time in four seasons under head coach Chris Klieman. Kansas, meanwhile, is having a winning season for the first time since 2008 under second-year head coach Lance Leipold.
The Jayhawks will be looking to snap a 13-game losing streak to the Wildcats and the two-game losing streak it's currently riding, including last week's 55-14 blowout loss to Texas. Kansas State's season has been impressive, especially considering that all its losses came against ranked opponents in Tulane, TCU and Texas.
For Kansas to break the streak against K-State, it'll likely need a big game from QB Jalon Daniels. Daniels, who suffered a shoulder injury on Oct. 8, threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in his first game back against Texas.
While it would be awesome to see the Jayhawks beat the Wildcats for the first time since 2008, I think Kansas State has been playing too consistently well to drop this one at home.
Prediction: Kansas State 42, Kansas 34
No. 14 Utah at Colorado, 4 p.m. ET
Utah has won the last seven straight against a Colorado program that has been struggling in recent years. The Buffaloes have lost 10 out of their last 11 games, so it's no surprise that Utah is a 30-point favorite.
The Utes will be looking to get a win after losing a tough 20-17 game against Oregon last week. Utes quarterback Cameron Rising threw a season-high three picks in the loss.
Utah should win this one handily.
Prediction: Utah 52, Colorado 13
No. 13 Notre Dame at No. 5 USC
See No. 5 USC for prediction
No. 12 Washington at Washington State, 10:30 p.m. ET
This rivalry has been quite lopsided in recent years. Wazzu won this one 40-13 last season, a win that broke a seven-game losing streak to the Huskies. Although this game doesn't have Pac-12 title implications, thanks to Oregon and USC sitting atop the standings, it should still be a good matchup.
At 9-2, Washington is having its best season since 2016. The Huskies dropped two straight against UCLA and Arizona State earlier in the year but have won their last five straight games.
Wazzu, meanwhile, has matched its seven-game win total from last season. The Cougars have rebounded from a three-game losing skid by winning three in a row.
If Washington State wants to beat Washington for a second straight season, it'll have to stop quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Penix, who transferred from Indiana this offseason, leads the nation in passing yards, with 3,869 yards and 26 touchdowns on the year. Washington State's passing defense ranks 97th, so I like the Huskies in this one.
Prediction: Washington 37, Washington State 34
No. 11 Penn State vs. Michigan State, 4 p.m. ET
Penn State's two losses to Michigan and Ohio State earlier in the season knocked them out of Big Ten title contention. Still, the Nittany Lions have a chance to reach double-digit wins for the fourth time under head coach James Franklin.
Michigan State, meanwhile, is having a very different season from the 11-2 one it had last season. Sparty is 5-6 and might miss out on a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Last week, Michigan State lost 39-31 to 4-7 Indiana.
Michigan State won 30-27 in this matchup last season, but the Nittany Lions will be too much for a struggling Sparty team.
Prediction: Penn State 33, Michigan State 14
AP Nos. 10-6
No. 10 Oregon at Oregon State, 3:30 p.m. ET
At 8-3, Oregon State is having its best season since 2012, and the Beavers have won five out of their last six games. Meanwhile, Oregon is 9-2 and looks like it'll play USC in the Pac-12 Championship game next month.
A big reason for Oregon's success under first-year head coach Dan Lanning is how well quarterback Bo Nix has been playing. The Auburn transfer has thrown for 3,061 yards and 25 touchdowns with six interceptions. Nix is fourth in the Pac-12 in passing, and he's rushed for 14 touchdowns, as well.
Oregon State has played well on defense this season. Through 12 weeks, the Beavers rank 25th in total defense and tied for 27th in scoring defense, allowing just 20.3 points per game.
Oregon is just a slight 3-point favorite to win on the road against Oregon State. The Beavers won the last time this one was played in Corvallis in 2020. I think this will be one of the best games of the weekend, but I like Oregon's offense to pull out a close one on the road.
Prediction: Oregon 38, Oregon State 35
No. 9 Tennessee at Vanderbilt, 7:30 p.m. ET
Although Tennessee has had one of the best seasons it has had in several seasons, the Vols are coming off of a very tough week. Tennessee got blown out 63-38 on the road against South Carolina and lost starting quarterback and Heisman candidate Hendon Hooker to a torn ACL.
It's heartbreaking for any team to lose its starting quarterback, but especially for Hooker, who was having an outstanding season. The good news for Tennessee is that the Vols are in good hands with backup Joe Milton. The QB has thrown for 573 yards and six touchdowns for the Vols this season. After Hooker went down against South Carolina, he threw for 108 yards and a touchdown.
Vanderbilt will have a lot of motivation in this one. If the Commodores can upset Tennessee, Vandy will be bowl eligible for the first time since 2018. The Commodores upset Florida last week, 31-24.
Even without Hooker, the Vols are 14-point favorites. I think Vandy will give Tennessee a fight, but this Vol team will be too much for the Commodores.
Prediction: Tennessee 45, Vanderbilt 28
No. 8 Alabama vs. Auburn, 3:30 p.m. ET
For the first time in quite a while, the Iron Bowl won't have too many national implications. Alabama is pretty much out of the playoff hunt with two losses but still is a very good 9-2 team. Auburn fired head coach Bryan Harsin earlier this season and is 5-6. Former Tigers running back Cadillac Williams is the interim head coach.
This matchup has been a fun one in recent years. Last season, Alabama needed four overtimes to get past Auburn. In 2019, the Tigers upset the Tide 48-45. It seems unlikely that Auburn can pull off an upset in Tuscaloosa, but Williams will have this team up for this one.
Alabama is a 22-point favorite, bringing the likes of Bryce Young and Jahmyr Gibbs on offense against an Auburn defense that ranks 76th in total defense. If Auburn keeps this one close against a Tide team that overmatches them on both sides of the ball, perhaps he could make a case to be named Auburn's permanent head coach. Williams is 2-1 as the interim.
Prediction: Alabama 28, Auburn 10
No. 7 Clemson vs. South Carolina, Noon ET
Thanks to South Carolina's upset win over Tennessee last week, this game looks a bit more intriguing. But this is still a rivalry that has been heavily lopsided to favor Clemson in recent years, with the Tigers winning the last seven straight against the Gamecocks.
Clemson can't afford to slip up in this one, either, with its playoff hopes still alive. If the Tigers can win the ACCCG next week against UNC, there's a chance for the Tigers to get a playoff bid with one loss.
If South Carolina wants any shot at upsetting Clemson on Saturday, quarterback Spencer Rattler will have to play like he did last week. Against Tennessee, Rattler threw for a career-high 438 yards and six touchdowns. South Carolina's defense has to play like it did last week, too. The Gamecocks limited Tennessee to just five third-down conversions on 12 opportunities.
Clemson beat Miami 40-10 last week but turned the ball over three times. The Tigers also had three turnovers in its win against Louisville the week before. If South Carolina scores like it did last week, the Tigers can't afford to turn the ball over to give the Gamecocks short fields.
I would love to pick South Carolina here, and if this game was in Columbia, I think the Gamecocks would have a great shot at pulling off the upset. Unfortunately, this one is in Clemson, where South Carolina hasn't won since 2012.
Prediction: Clemson 30, South Carolina 21
No. 6 LSU at Texas A&M, 7 p.m. ET
This one looks like a potential trap game for LSU. If the Tigers want any shot at making it into the playoff—the most important step is to upset Georgia next week—they can't afford to lose this one. LSU already has two losses, so a loss on the road to Texas A&M would kill any playoff hopes it might still have.
The good news for LSU is that Texas A&M is struggling significantly this season. The Aggies are 4-7 and 1-6 in conference play. Against a terrible UMass team last week, Texas A&M won 20-3.
TAMU has won the last two games in this series that were played in College Station. It seems unlikely that LSU will lose against the Aggies, but with head coach Jimbo Fisher squarely on the hot seat, a win over LSU would take a bit of heat off of him.
Nonetheless, I think Jayden Daniels can have a big day running the ball against the Aggie defense that ranks 123rd in rush defense.
Prediction: LSU 33, Texas A&M 9
AP Nos. 5-1
No. 5 USC vs. Notre Dame, 7:30 p.m. ET
USC put itself squarely in the playoff conversation with its big 48-45 win on the road against UCLA. But thanks to the Trojans' loss earlier in the season to Utah, USC can't afford to lose another game if it wants a playoff bid.
That's why Saturday night's game against Notre Dame is so important. The Fighting Irish are 8-3 and already have a win over a Top 5 team, upsetting Clemson three weeks ago. USC will likely be facing the toughest defense it's seen all season. Notre Dame is a top-20 defense, and it's given up just 17.5 points over the last four games.
This game is also an opportunity for USC QB Caleb Williams to make his case to win the Heisman Trophy. Last week against UCLA, Williams played lights out, throwing for 470 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. He had a rushing touchdown, too. If Williams can put up those numbers against ND's defense, the award could tilt even further his way.
If Notre Dame wants to upset USC, it will have to take care of the football. That might be a tough task, considering the Trojans rank first nationally in turnover margin at plus-20 and have forced 24 turnovers. ND has given up 13 turnovers on the season.
The Fighting Irish have won the last four games against USC, and if this game was in South Bend, I think ND could pull off the upset. But I think this USC team is playing some of its best football at just the right time. This should be a very good game, but I like the Trojans here.
Prediction: USC 35, Notre Dame 28
No. 4 TCU vs. Iowa State, 4 p.m. ET
TCU is undefeated, but the Horned Frogs have had a pair of close games in the last two weeks. In Week 11, the Horned Frogs won 17-10 on the road against Texas. Then in Week 12, TCU needed a 40-yard field goal in the game's final seconds to get past Baylor, 29-28.
TCU is a 10-point favorite going up against Iowa State this week. Although the Cyclones have won the last three matchups against TCU, this Iowa State team is having a down year. The Cyclones are 4-7, which makes head coach Matt Campbell below-.500 since his first year in Ames in 2016.
This game being at home should help TCU close out the regular season on a high note. The Horned Frogs have averaged 45.8 points at Fort Worth this season. Iowa State's defense only gives up 16.5 points per game, so this one could be another close one for TCU. But I like the Horned Frogs at home here.
Prediction: TCU 37, Iowa State 27
No. 3 Michigan at No. 2 Ohio State, Noon ET
For the second season in a row, the Big Ten East will be decided by Michigan and Ohio State. Last season, Michigan beat Ohio State for the first time since 2011 and went on to win the Big Ten.
But Ohio State is a 7.5-point favorite at home, and Michigan hasn't won in Columbus since 2000.
Another reason the Buckeyes are favored is the status of Michigan running back Blake Corum. The Wolverines' standout running back left last week's game against Illinois with an apparent knee injury. Although Corum has told reporters that he will be good to go against the Buckeyes, if he isn't fully healthy, Michigan's offense will become one-dimensional. Outside of Corum, Michigan rushed for just 60 yards.
Most people are picking Ohio State in this one for the above reasons. But this Buckeye team has blown out pretty much every opponent it's faced this year, with the exception of Northwestern and Maryland over the last three weeks. If Corum isn't at full-strength, this one could get ugly early.
Prediction: Ohio State 38, Michigan 30
No. 1 Georgia vs. Georgia Tech, Noon ET
This rivalry has been quite lopsided recently, as these two programs have gone in very different directions. Tech hasn't had a winning season since 2018, whereas Georgia has been either winning or playing for national titles consistently.
So it's no surprise that Georgia has won the last four straight in this rivalry. Tech has been playing well under interim head coach Brent Key—his team came back from a 17-0 deficit to upset North Carolina last week.
But Tech doesn't have what it takes to upset Georgia on Saturday. The Bulldogs are 35-point favorites, and that's likely how much UGA will win by before gearing up for the SECCG against LSU.
Prediction: Georgia 42, Georgia Tech 10
Best Unranked Clashes
Nebraska at Iowa, 4 p.m. ET on Friday
It seems incredibly hard to believe, but Iowa looks like it will repeat as Big Ten West champions yet again in 2022. Thanks to Illinois dropping its last three games vs. Michigan State, Purdue and Michigan, a win for the Hawkeyes on Saturday would put them in the Big Ten title game.
It looks like Iowa can win this one handily. Nebraska, which fired Scott Frost earlier in the season, is riding a five-game losing streak. The Hawkeyes have also won the last seven straight over the Huskers, dating back to 2015.
Iowa's defense shouldn't have too many problems matching up against this Nebraska offense, which only puts up 22.5 points per game. Iowa's defense ranks sixth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 273 yards per game.
Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes going back to Indianapolis for a second consecutive season seemed unlikely. Iowa started the season 3-4. But four straight wins paired with Illinois' faltering, and it looks like the Big Ten West will be Iowa's once again.
Prediction: Iowa 17, Nebraska 6
Louisville at Kentucky, 3 p.m. ET
This year's clash for the Governor's Cup looks like it'll be a much better game than in past years. Kentucky has won the last three in this rivalry, and the games haven't exactly been close. The Wildcats have won by a combined score of 153-44.
But for this one in Lexington, the Wildcats are just 3.5-point favorites. Louisville is having its best season since Scott Satterfield's first year with the Cardinals in 2019. Kentucky, meanwhile, was a preseason SEC East contender. Despite starting the season 4-0, Kentucky has dropped five out of its last seven games.
Whether Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham will play may decide the Cardinals' fate in this one. Despite Cunningham missing last week's game against NC State, Satterfield told the media this week that he is optimistic the QB can return for the Kentucky game. Cunningham leads Louisville in passing and rushing yards, with a combined 2,108 yards and 19 total touchdowns on the season. If he's unable to go, his backup, Brock Domann should get another start.
Prediction: Louisville 24, Kentucky 21
Wake Forest at Duke, 3:30 p.m. ET
Wake Forest has beaten Duke in the last three meetings, with two of the matchups being blowout victories: 59-7 in 2018 and 45-7 last season. But this Blue Devils program looks much improved under first-year head coach Mike Elko. Coincidentally, Elko was on Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson's staff from 2014-16.
In Elko's first season in Durham, the Blue Devils are having their best season since 2018. Before falling 28-26 to Pitt last week, the Blue Devils were riding a three-game win streak.
Duke quarterback Riley Leonard is having a great season. On the year, he's thrown for 2,403 yards and 16 touchdowns. He's rushed for another 621 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he ranks fifth in the ACC in rushing yards.
Wake Forest snapped a three-game losing streak with a 45-35 win over Syracuse last week and overcame a 21-10 deficit to do so. Wake quarterback Sam Hartman threw for four touchdowns and 331 yards in the win.
Hartman, who opted to return to Wake Forest despite being draft-eligible, isn't having as big of a season as he did in 2021. But he should still be a big name in next year's draft, and this will be one of his few opportunities remaining to boost his stock.
Prediction: Wake Forest 34, Duke 28
