College Football Week 14 Picks

It is the first of the last two weeks of the College Football season.  It means tons of rivalry games.  Next week will be a mix of regular season games and conference championship games.

If you haven’t had a chance, check out the most recent bowl projections, posted earlier this week here.  Teams that need to win to be bowl eligible will be denoted with an asterisk.

#5 TCU vs. Texas

LSU vs. Texas A&M

Stanford vs. #8 UCLA

#13 Arizona State vs. #11 Arizona

Arkansas vs. #17 Missouri

Western Kentucky vs. #24 Marshall (It is sad that an undefeated team may not be in one of the big games.)

*Virginia vs. *Virginia Tech (Winner goes to a bowl game, loser, especially if its Virginia Tech, will be extremely disappointed.)

Syracuse vs. Boston College

NC State vs. North Carolina

Wake Forest vs. Duke

Last Season: 338-83 (.803)

Last two years:  659-174 (.791)

#21 Texas A&M vs. #9 South Carolina (The Aggies are a little overrated.  The Gamecocks might be too.  However, I’m a bigger believer in the Gamecocks’ 2014 success, rather than the Aggies.)

UC Davis vs. #11 Stanford

#16 Clemson vs. #12 Georgia (One team will still think it is going to have an outstanding the season, the other will already learn the reality that both of these top teams will not be what they have been the last few seasons.)
