College Football Week 14 Preview

College football is back and we're ready to share all our thoughts on the biggest games of Week 14. We saw major shake ups in the AP rankings after many of the top 25 teams battled it out with each other. Let's take a look at what week 14 has in store for us.

Ohio State Buckeyes 11-0 (1) at Michigan Wolverines 9-2 (15)

Imagine being Michigan, you've been overlooked all season because of a week two loss to Oklahoma, you lose to USC, but now you have the chance to play spoiler against the number 1 team in the country again. Michigan has beaten Ohio State four times in a row dating back to 2020 and a win this weekend coupled with a loss by either Oregon or Indiana would have the Wolverines back in the Big 10 title game and very likely in the CFP. The Buckeyes on the other hand want to keep their perfect record, and maintain their #1 overall spot in the CFP rankings. They're outscoring opponents by over 30 points on average and lead college football in fewest points allowed per game at just 7.6.

The BetQL computer model has Ohio State winning in 86% of its simulations with a projected final score of 26.5-13 Our tip: Check out the Buckeyes -9.5 currently at -115 on ESPNBET.

Miami Hurricanes 9-2 (13) at Pittsburgh Panthers 8-3 (22)

We're back again in the ACC, where nothing is decided and this weekend is make or break for six teams still with a chance to make the championship and a shot at the the CFP. Miami is currently in the CFP, but nothing is certain except that only the ACC champion is guaranteed to make the CFP. Miami could still get in with an at-large bid, but they'd need to win out and hope that teams ranked higher than them lose this week and don't win their conference title games. Pittsburgh could still make the championship with a win and a loss by SMU or UVA, but their chances aren't exactly great. Miami is winning by over 19 PPG on average allowing just 14.5 points per game, 7th best in all of college football. As for the Panthers, they're scoring a lot of points, 37.6 per game, but they're also allowing opponents to score nearly 24 a game, but they're coming off a 42-28 win off Georgia Tech.

The BetQL computer model has the Hurricanes winning in 74% of its projections with a final score of 29-21. DraftKings has Miami -7 which is 1 point less than what we're currently projecting for the spread. Our tip: Take Miami -7 on DraftKings currently at -110.

Vanderbilt Commodores 9-2 (14) at Tennessee Volunteers 8-3 (19)

Fifth in the SEC isn't going to cut it for the Commodores to make the CFP, beating Tennessee by itself won't be enough for for Vanderbilt to move up in the rankings, and they don't have a shot at making the SEC title game. Their only hope is an at large bid which would require them to win out and Alabama to lose against Auburn. Vanderbilt is outscoring opponents by over 17 points per game and are 9th in points scored per game. Tennessee's losses this season have all been against ranked opponents. They're outscoring opponents by 15 points per game, but they're also allowing over 27 PPG.

We've got Vanderbilt as a 3 point favorite according to our computer simulations with a final score of 36.5-33.5. Our tip: FanDuel has Vanderbilt at +126.
