College GameDay Picks for Week 11: Who is Everyone Picking Today?

We have an even clearer picture of who the selection committee likes and doesn’t like, at least compared with who they did a week ago, giving college football’s contenders more information on what they need to do in Saturday’s action.

Mostly, win. There’s still plenty to sort out in the top dozen, and what happens today across the major conferences, and in the Group of Six, will play a huge role in reshaping what the playoff bracket looks like this time next week.

With just three games left in the regular season, here’s who the guys on College GameDay are taking to do the job, and who gets left behind.

Who We Like in College Football's Week 11 Games

College GameDay Picks for Week 11 — USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect

Miami over Duke. There’s always a danger the Hurricanes are walking into a trap after a loss, especially with this pass defense, but Miami still has the major talent edge at home.

Tennessee over Texas A&M. The bookies like the Vols by just 1.5 points, but they have the defense and the ground game to pull this out and avoid the upset.

Indiana over USC. Yes, the Trojans have the vertical firepower, but they also struggle on the road, and the Hoosiers play a physical brand of defense in a must-win situation.

Oregon over Michigan. While the Wolverines play solid pass defense, they can’t move the ball on the Ducks in their current form.

Boise State over Oregon State. College football’s leading passer won’t appear in this matchup, giving the Pac-12 favorite Broncos a clear advantage at home.

Utah over Arizona. Noah Fifita can threaten the undefeated Utes’ pass defense, but the Wildcats probably can’t protect him long enough to pull off the upset.

LSU over Texas. The Longhorns are 4-0 against ranked teams, but their protection will struggle against the Tiger pass rush, and they can’t run the ball to compensate.

Texas Tech over Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders need to win this to stay around the top of the Big 12, but the Cowboys’ uber-productive offense will test them.
