Week 12 Picks

November 11, 2019 by CollegeFootballPoll.com Staff

Based on the Congrove Computer Rankings, we present a projected winner for every game on this week's schedule involving a FBS team.

In all, there are 55 games this week with 24 teams idle. Four FBS schools face a school from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), including Army and Florida State.

This week's action begins Tuesday night with a pair of MAC games, and we stay in the Mid-American Conference for two more contests on Wednesday. Yet another MAC game and an ACC clash don Thursday's schedule before we move to the Mountain West and Conference USA for a pair of games on Friday.

The top matchcup among ranked teams sends the No. 5 team in the FWAA-NFF Super 16, Georgia, to face No. 13 Auburn for the 124th meeting in that series. The 'Dawgs clinch the eastern half of the Southeastern Conference with the road victory.

Meanwhile, No. 8 Oklahoma visits No. 11 Baylor with the winner taking the upper hand in the chase for a Big 12 regular season crown. If Baylor wins and Texas loses at Iowa State, the Sooners and Bears will be a lock to meet again in the conference championship game. If Baylor loses and Texas wins, the Longhorns still have a shot at displacing Baylor.

Oregon can claim the PAC-12 North title with a home win over Arizona.

Minnesota clinches the Big Ten west with a win at Iowa, coupled with a Wisconsin loss at Nebraska.

Cincinnati will secure a spot in the American Conference title game with a win at South Florida.

Clemson hosts Wake Forest in a game that loomed large in the ACC Atlantic division until this past Saturday when the Demon Deacons were upset 36-17 at Virginia while the Tigers walloped NC State 55-10. The combination of those events landed Clemson a spot in the ACC Championship game for the 5th straight season.
