CFB PICKS:WHO WILL WIN EACH CONFERENCE, AND PICKS FOR BIG GAMES: PRE-WEEK 15
WHO WILL WIN…
AAC
REMAINING GAMES (THAT MATTER)
16 UCF (10-1) at SMU (5-6) Stakes: UCF wins and they win conference, if they don’t they hope UL can pull it out vs Cinci
19 Louisville (10-1) at Cincinnati (9-2) Stakes: Louisville wins, UCF wins conference, Cinci wins AND UCF loses Cinci wins conference
Picks: UCF 38, SMU 3 AND UL 29, Cinci 27
ACC
REMAINING GAMES
20 Duke (10-2) vs 1 Florida State (12-0) Stakes: Winner takes all.
I knew one of these years FSU would finally have their run, and they did! With a win here there is no doubt in my mind that FSU will play in the national Title. I also think there is not a person in the nation (that is not showing favoritism) that follows college football KNOWS FSU is the better team. But will the Dukies catch them sleeping? I think so, but FSU escapes narrowly on a last minute Jameis Winston drive.
Pick: FSU 27, Duke 20
BIG 12
REMAINING GAMES (THAT MATTER)
17 Oklahoma (9-2) at 6 Oklahoma State (10-1) Stakes: Oklahoma State wins and they claim the title!
25 Texas (8-3) at 9 Baylor (10-1) Stakes: If OK State loses then the winner of this game wins the BIG 12
I think this is a no-brainer, in Stillwater I think it’s obvious you take the Pokes, Clint Chelf is playing great football.
Pick: OKST 38, OKLA 27 AND BAY 39, TEX 23
BIG 10

MAC
REMAINING GAMES

MWC
REMAINING GAMES
Utah State (8-4) at 23 Fresno State (10-1) Stakes: Winner takes all
Pick: Fresno State 31, Utah State 23 I think the Aggies will give Fresno a scare
PAC-12
REMAINING GAMES
7 Stanford (10-2) at 11 Arizona State (10-2)
Pick: Stanford 41, Arizona State 38 OT
I really thing the game will be the opposite of when Stanford beat AZ State by 14. I think it will be Stanford that has to come from behind, down 8 Hogan leads the troops down the field, scores a TD, gets the 2 to send it to OT. AZ State gets the ball first, they get stuffed on 3rd&inches and have to settle for a field goal. Then on the first play when Stanford has the ball, Gaffney takes it for a TD to win 41-38 (they would not kick extra-point because game is over).
SEC
REMAINING GAMES!
5 Missouri (11-1) at 3 Auburn (11-1)
Pick: Auburn 31, Missouri 30
NOTE: UL-LAFAYETTE HAS CLINCHED SUN BELT TITLE
