Week 14 College Football Predictions: BCS Top 25 Teams That'll Disappoint

Randy ChambersDec 1, 2011

This is the last week for teams to show what they're made of and impress voters with a quality victory. Most teams only have their conference championships this weekend, so a win here should really move them up in the rankings.

Although, as always when two ranked teams clash, one team has to lose.

Here are a few teams that will disappoint in Week 14 and possibly shatter any chance of reaching a BCS bowl game.

Southern Miss

1 of 4

The Golden Eagles are one of the surprise teams this season, going 10-2 and reaching the C-USA Championship Game. Unfortunately for them, they have to go up against the undefeated Houston Cougars and take on a offense that averages over 50 points per contest.

Southern Miss does its fare share of scoring as it averages 37 points per game, but the Golden Eagles simply don't have enough firepower to keep up. The key in this game for the Golden Eagles would be to capitalize off of turnovers, but that's easier said than done as the Cougars only turn the ball over once a game.

Houston should run away with this one in the second half.

Texas Longhorns

2 of 4

The Longhorns have a talented team; they just lack experience. And in a tough Big 12 conference it really shows. This weeks game against the Baylor Bears won't help any.

Robert Griffin III is on a mission and has been playing out of his mind all season long. This is his stage and his last chance to make an impression on the voters for why he should win the Heisman Trophy.

Texas should be able to score on this brutal Baylor defense, but the Bears should win because they will simply outscore the opposition like they've done all season. The Longhorns have yet to beat a ranked team this year, and that won't change this weekend.

Oklahoma Sooners

3 of 4

Oklahoma has been a shell of itself lately ever since Ryan Broyles and Dominique Whaley went down with season-ending injuries. The Sooners went from an offense that can score with ease to struggling at times to put the ball in the end zone.

They're going to need to be able to put a ton of points on the board if they expect to have any chance of beating the Oklahoma State Cowboys, a team that averages 50 points per game and has scored no less than 30 all season long.

That game against Baylor doesn't help the Sooners case as they gave up 45 points. I'd say the Cowboys offense is a little bit more explosive, so Oklahoma is in trouble.

The Sooners will continue to disappoint as they wrap up their regular season.

Clemson Tigers

4 of 4

Does anybody know what in the world is wrong with the Clemson Tigers lately? This team was looking unstoppable in the beginning of the season and has now lost three of its last four games.

In the Tigers' victories they've scored less than 30 just once and over 50 twice. In the three losses combined, they've only scored 43 points. There's no excuse with an offense that is that stacked—they shouldn't struggle to put points on the board.

Now they'll be playing a Virginia Tech team that is hitting its stride recently, winning its last seven games.

The key to this game will be the rushing attack for both teams. Clemson averages 150 yards on the ground, and Virginia Tech averages nearly 200. The Hokies defense only gives up 98 yards, but the Tigers give up 186.

I think we know who's going to win this game.
