College Football Picks Week 14: B/R's Expert Predictions for Top 6 Games

Rivalry Week is finally here!

The season is winding down, which means we're inching closer and closer to the College Football Playoff.

Several games this weekend have major playoff implications, but none is bigger than the 2014 Iron Bowl. Will Alabama get revenge for the crushing defeat a season ago, or can Auburn build a winning streak over Nick Saban and Co.?

Another top SEC showdown this Saturday is the 2014 Egg Bowl. Arkansas shut out Ole Miss a week ago, so look for the Rebels offense to try to bounce back in this heated rivalry game. Can Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen make it two years in a row with a victory over the in-state rival Rebels?

Georgia Tech hasn't beaten fellow Peach State foe Georgia since 2008, but this weekend, the Yellow Jackets have a great opportunity to show the committee they're a legitimate playoff dark-horse team. With a win over the Bulldogs and a win in the ACC title game against Florida State, the Yellow Jackets would have an outside shot to sneak into the top four.

Speaking of FSU, the Seminoles need a great four-quarter showing against their adversary to the south, Florida. Jimbo Fisher’s squad has struggled to start games strong, but it certainly knows how to finish, as evidenced by its undefeated record.

And the final pair of rivalry games our experts will pick this week are two of the best in the sport. Notre Dame vs. USC and Michigan vs. Ohio State have been some of the greatest games in college football history. While this year’s games haven't produced as much hype as previous seasons, they are still intense feuds, so expect a good fight.
