Thanksgiving Day is almost over and, with it, the final week of college football is upon us.
Move over, Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys! It’s time for Egg Bowls, Commonwealth Cups, Oaken Buckets, and Ohio State-Michigan! Plus much more …
Here are this week’s picks.
Friday, Nov. 28
12 p.m., No. 6 Ole Miss at Mississippi State | ABC
The ole Egg Bowl… Will Kiffin hatch this egg into something wonderful, or leave the nest in search of greener pastures? Who knows, but I think Ole Miss wins this Egg.
12 p.m., No. 12 Utah at Kansas | ESPN
I will take more Utah stock, please. Winning a wild one this past weekend… I think the Utes will do it again.
3:30 p.m., No. 4 Georgia vs No. 16 Georgia Tech | ABC
I have been let down for the last time by the highly educated folks at Georgia Tech. UGA pulls off the win.
7:30 p.m., No. 2 Indiana at Purdue | NBC/Peacock
There are three things in life that are certain: death, taxes, and Purdue losing this weekend.
7:30 p.m., No. 3 Texas A&M vs No. 17 Texas | ABC
Horns down. A&M is playing with house money.
9 p.m., No. 25 Arizona State vs Arizona | FOX
This will be a barn-burning event, and I don’t think either team can stop the other. State has the better quarterback, so I’ll pick them to win.
Saturday, Nov. 29
12 p.m., No. 1 Ohio State at No. 18 Michigan | FOX
Ohio State is one of the best teams in the country, but the Buckeyes are 0–4 in the past four meetings against Michigan… For the chaos it would cause… Michigan wins.
12 p.m., No. 5 Texas Tech at West Virginia | ESPN
Texas Tech is loaded this year. I don’t think country roads will help West Virginia this week. Texas Tech wins.
12 p.m., No. 13 Miami at Pitt | ABC
Pitt is winning some football games, and I think the Panthers pull the upset. Let the chaos reign.
1 p.m., No. 11 BYU vs UCF | ESPN2
BYU is huge in this one.
3:30 p.m., No. 8 Oklahoma vs LSU | ABC
Oklahoma and LSU have surprised me this year, just not for the same reasons. Oklahoma has a great defense paired with an offense that’s just good enough. LSU has none of that currently. Boomer Sooner!!
3:30 p.m., No. 14 Vanderbilt at No. 20 Tennessee | ESPN
Vanderbilt being ranked higher than Tennessee doesn’t seem real… But it doesn’t matter how much you pinch yourself, you never wake up.
Happy for Vanderbilt — but I still think Tennessee wins.
3:30 p.m., No. 22 Missouri at Arkansas | SEC Network
Arkansas got its coach (we think?); now the Razorbacks need to get their win. I hope the pigs beat Missouri. Go Hogs!!
4:30 p.m., No. 15 Southern California vs UCLA | NBC
USC big.
7 p.m., No. 19 Virginia vs Virginia Tech | ESPN
UVA is killing it, Virginia Tech is not. UVA wins.
7:30 p.m., No. 10 Alabama at Auburn | ABC
Iron Bowl… The Tennessee fan in me wants Auburn to win, but my brain is telling me otherwise. BAMA.
7:30 p.m., No. 21 Illinois vs Northwestern | FOX
Illinois wins!!
7:30 p.m., No. 24 Tulane vs Charlotte | ESPNU
Tulane wins big!!
10:30 p.m., No. 9 Notre Dame at Stanford | ESPN
Stanford won a game last week and maybe it wins another here… Go Trees? I mean Cardinal lol.
3:30 p.m., No. 7 Oregon vs Washington
To quote my wife: “I like dogs”… But the Ducks win!!
12 p.m., No. 23 Houston vs Baylor
Houston let me down before — the Cougars won’t do it again.
