Week 12 is a busy one in college football, with nearly every team in the US LBM Coaches Poll Top 25 in action. Our staff predictors thus have a lot to consider, including three matchups of ranked opponents.

As usual the SEC has a big piece of the spotlight, with a pair of top-10 showdowns on the docket. It will in fact be the two teams tied for 10th in the poll hitting the road, as Oklahoma takes on No. 4 Alabama and Texas meets No. 5 Georgia in a rematch of last season’s conference title game. The third ranked pairing is equally important to the playoff race as No. 9 Notre Dame heads to No. 23 Pittsburgh.

Will there be differing opinions from our panel of six prognosticators on those games, and where else might there be upsets? Read on to see this week’s picks, as well as review their season standings to date.
