College Football Pick-Em: Week 14

Here are the picks for Week 14:

ACC Championship Game: Virginia Tech vs. Florida State (in Charlotte)- I have picked the Seminoles to win every game this year and I don't see any reason to change that now.  Both of these teams enter this game super hot.  Virginia Tech is riding a ten game winning streak.  And FSU has won three in a row and just routed Florida.  On paper, the Hokies should win, but I am taking my 'Noles in an upset.  Florida State 28, Virginia Tech 24

SEC Championship Game: South Carolina vs. Auburn (in Atlanta)- One of the hardest things to do in footbal is beat a good team twice in one year.  However, Auburn showed in the second half of last week's game just how special of a team they are.  The Gamecocks will need to play better than they did in their upset of Alabama in order to beat the Tigers.  And with Cam Newton on the opposing sideline, even that might not be enough.  Auburn 38, South Carolina 35

Big 12 Championship Game: Oklahoma vs. Nebraska (in JerryWorld)- In the final Big 12 title game, it is only appropriate that these old Big 8 rivals play one another.  Oklahoma has won nearly half of all the Big 12 title games played.  And Nebraska would love nothing more than to take the Big 12 title with them to the Big Ten next year.  Oklahoma finally seems to be able to play as well on the road as they do at home, but Nebraska's combination of an explosive offense and suffocating defense will lead them to a Big 12 victory one last time.  Nebraska 31, Oklahoma 28

Upset Special: Oregon at Oregon State- I am picking this upset not because I believe it will happen, but because I want it to happen.  I like the Beavers and for the past two years the Ducks have beaten them in the Civil War and denied them a Rose Bowl berth.  Its time for the Beavers to return the favor.  And this Beavers' team is no stranger to upsetting dominate teams.  Two years ago, they knocked off #1 USC in Corvallis.  That's where this game is played too.  Oregon State 23, Oregon 21

Week 12 Record: 3-2
Overall Record: 42-23
