Every year (and every week of the season) we have a little friendly competition among our writers for world domination when it comes to picking the Big Ten football games and some of the bigger college football contests throughout the season now that conference play is in full swing.

The college football season rolls into Week 12 with the races in the power conferences far from decided. One game separates first and sixth place in the SEC, and an eight-way tie for first at the end of the regular season is possible.

BYU survived a scare with Utah to remain unbeaten, while Colorado got a huge win over Texas Tech to secure its spot in second place in the conference standings. The Big 12 title game matchup is starting to look more and more like it is going to be BYU and Colorado fighting for a playoff spot.
