College Gameday picks for biggest games of rivalry weekend
It’s one of the best but most bittersweet days of the year as the Saturday of rivalry weekend is upon us. Plenty of questions remain in regards to the postseason outlook and College Football Playoff (CFP) and although we won’t get complete clarity today, we’ll get a good amount of it.
Notre Dame doesn’t play until Saturday night at Stanford but will certainly be paying attention to what happens elsewhere as they’re sixth in the latest CFP rankings.
Michigan hosts Ohio State as the loser in all likelihood will be eliminated from College Football Playoff contention while the same goes for Bedlam between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
