College Football Picks Week 6: B/R's Expert Predictions for Top 5 Games

Week 6 of the 2014 college football season is loaded with games that have major playoff implications.

The state of Mississippi has an excellent chance to steal the spotlight on Saturday, as the Mississippi State Bulldogs look to shut down Kenny Hill and the surging Texas A&M Aggies, and the Ole Miss Rebels aim to defend their ranking with Nick Saban and Alabama coming to town.

Will Dan Mullen, Hugh Freeze and the entire state of Mississippi be celebrating come Saturday night?

Notre Dame hopes to keep its win streak intact as it hosts the Stanford Cardinal, a team the Irish have only beaten once in the last five years.

That lone victory came in 2012, and it was quite controversial. What will the 2014 edition of this rivalry hold?

It’s a battle of tigers down on the plains as Auburn hosts LSU. Will freshman quarterback Brandon Harris outshine Nick Marshall? Will Les Miles sample any grass at Jordan-Hare Stadium? 

Nebraska has a great opportunity to take charge in the Big Ten, but beating Michigan State in Spartan Stadium will be quite the challenge. Mark Dantonio hasn’t lost at home since the 2012 season.
