Tests for Ohio State, Notre Dame lead college football picks for Week 13

The college football season is in the home stretch, but the Week 13 schedule has plenty for our panel of expert prognosticators to consider.

The slate features three showdowns of ranked teams, headlined by the top-five clash in Columbus getting the Big Noon treatment as No. 2 Ohio State hosts No. 5 Indiana. Do any of our soothsayers see the Hoosiers pulling off the upset, or will everyone go with the favored Buckeyes to earn a rematch with Oregon for the Big Ten crown?

Another contest with playoff implications features No. 6 Notre Dame taking on 17th-ranked and undefeated Army at Yankee Stadium in prime time. The third Top 25 clash is in the Big 12, where No. 15 Brigham Young visits No. 22 Arizona State with a likely spot in the conference title game on the line.

Several teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll will be enjoying some holiday cupcakes, but some others will face conference competition. Read on to see where our staffers think there will be upset potential.
