Here are my picks for weeks fifteen and sixteen of the college football season.
Thursday, December 4th
UCF (8-3) vs East Carolina (8-3)
Pick: East Carolina
Friday, December 5th
Bowling Green (7-5) vs Northern Illinois (10-2)- This is a great matchup for a MAC conference championship game. It will be played at Detroit's Ford Field and I like Northern Illinois to win this conference title.
Pick: Northern Illinois
Arizona (10-2) vs Oregon (11-1)- These two teams played one another earlier in the season and Arizona won the contest on the road. This time, these two great teams will be playing for the Pac-12 championship at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. I believe Oregon and the nationals best quarterback Marcus Mariotta will win a tight game.
Pick: Oregon
Saturday, December 6th
Louisiana Tech (8-4) vs Marshall (11-1)- This is actually an interesting C-USA championship matchup. These two teams did not meet during the season and now they meet. The game will be played in Huntington, West Virginia, which is where Marshall plays and I think home field advantage is the difference here.
Pick: Marshall
Houston (7-4) vs Cincinnati (8-3)- Unfortunately, this is not a conference championship game, but it
is a great matchup. I think Cincinnati wins a close one.
Pick: Cincinnati
SMU (0-11) vs UConn (2-9)
Pick: UConn
Iowa State (2-9) vs TCU (10-1)
Pick: TCU
Oklahoma State (5-6) vs Oklahoma (8-3)
Pick: Oklahoma
Alabama (11-1) vs Missouri (10-2)- This is am awesome matchup for the SEC championship game. These teams didn't meet during the season yet. The game will be played in Atlanta's Georgia Dome. This should be a classic, high scoring game with Alabama winning the conference yet again.
Pick: Alabama
Temple (5-6) vs Tulane (3-8)
Pick: Temple
Kansas State (9-2) vs Baylor (10-1)- This is some Big-12 game. The winner of this game would not surprise me either way, but Baylor is tough to beat in Waco.
Pick: Baylor
Florida State (12-0) vs Georgia Tech (10-2)- This is arguably the most intriguing conference championship game. The game is being played in Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium. These two teams didn't meet in the season yet. Florida State has won a ton of close games while Georgia Tech has been playing great. It's too tough to bet against Florida State at this point and I think they will win yet another close game and an ACC title.
Pick: Florida State
Wisconsin (10-2) vs Ohio State (11-1)- This should be a fun Big-10 championship game. These teams have not met yet. This game is being played in Indianapolis's Lucas Oil Stadium. Ohio State quarterback JT Barrett is out for the rest of the season with a fractured ankle. Wisconsin running back and Heisman candidate Melvin Gordon will be a difference maker in this game en route to Wisconsin winning the conference title over Ohio State.
Pick: Wisconsin
Fresno State (6-6) vs Boise State (10-2)- This should be a quite entertaining Mountain West conference title game. These two teams met earlier in the season in Boise and BSU won. Fresno State has underachieved this season and are still in the conference title game. The fact this game is in Boise too is what should push BSU to the Mountain West conference championship.
Pick: Boise State
Saturday, December 13th
Navy (6-5) vs Army (4-7)
Pick: Navy
