None of these are extra compelling than the Massive 12, which may have as many as eight groups tie for first.

Arizona State and Iowa State are within the driver’s seats for the title sport, however something can nonetheless occur.
Within the Massive Ten, Penn State and Indiana are hoping for Michigan to beat Ohio State for the fourth straight time. I would not maintain my breath, however stranger issues have occurred.

Week 14 Picks
Purdue at No. 10 Indiana (-28.5): Talking of sending messages, the Hoosiers will attempt to ship one as effectively after Ohio State flexed on them final week. There is not a lot cause to consider Purdue can do something about it. It appears to be like like Boilermakers coach Ryan Walters can be again subsequent yr regardless. This can be a double finest wager. I just like the unfold and the over on sports activities betting apps, even when Purdue will get shut out. Decide: Indiana -28.5, Over 56.5
Cal at No. 9 SMU (-13.5): This might be a great place for SMU to ship a message to the choice committee. There is only one drawback with that: Cal doesn’t get beat badly. The Bears’ 5 losses have come by a complete of 17 factors. Eight of these had been within the loss to Syracuse two weeks in the past. SMU is definitely able to placing up a giant quantity, however I like Cal to hold round and keep beneath the betting line. Decide: Cal +13.5
No. 23 Illinois at Northwestern (+14): Illinois is coming off a miraculous highway win at Rutgers that noticed the Illini rating on a 40-yard landing cross after Scarlet Knights coach Greg Schiano referred to as a timeout to freeze the kicker. Northwestern has not come inside this margin towards a ranked crew all season. Unranked Michigan simply beat the Wildcats 50-6. The wheels appear to have come off. Decide: Illinois -14
Upset of the Week
No. 5 Notre Dame at USC (+7.5): Nothing like a giant rivalry sport to get the juices flowing. USC has been feeding off residence cooking this season. The one crew to beat them on the Coliseum this season is No. 4 Penn State, in a sport that went all the way down to the wire. Not that the Trojans are tremendous gifted, however Notre Dame has not performed a crew with this degree of expertise for the reason that opener with Texas A&M. Decide: USC
