For those of you that don’t know, ESPN College Football Challenge is the closest you can get to college fantasy football on ESPN. You get to comprise a roster of two quarterbacks, two running backs, two wide receivers, a team kicker, and a team defense. The scoring is very similar to NFL scoring.

Here are my picks for week 13. I had a good week last week except for not playing Melvin Gordon!
Quarterbacks:
Marcus Mariota, Oregon: The Ducks get the awful Colorado defense that has allowed tons of yards to QBs all season long. Mariota should be in every lineup!
J.T. Barrett, Ohio State: Barrett is comfortable in the offense now, and he is coming off of a game in which he set the school record for rushing yards by a QB. Now he gets the porous Indiana defense. Expect more of the same this week.
Honorable mention: Nick Marshall vs. Samford, Blake Sims vs. Western Carolina
Stay Away: Maty Mauk at Tennessee, Anu Solomon at Utah

Running Backs:
Nick Chubb, Georgia: Gurley is out for the year with a torn ACL, so the freshman will get plenty of touches against Charleston Southern. For a half, anyway. But in that half, he could have upwards of 200 yards.
James Conner, Pittsburgh: Pitt has no other offense.
Honorable mention: T.J. Yeldon vs. Western Carolina, Cameron Artis-Payne vs. Samford
Stay Away: Tevin Coleman at Ohio State, Alex Collins vs. Mississippi
Wide Receivers:
Amari Cooper, Alabama: His workload will likely be down against Western Carolina, but I can’t NOT play the best receiver in college.
Rashard Higgins, Colorado State: New Mexico’s defense is awful. Higgins should have a huge day!
Honorable mention: Jamison Crowder vs. North Carolina, Nelson Agholor at UCLA
Stay Away: Rashad Greene vs. Boston College, Kevin White vs. Kansas State
Kickers:
Baylor, West Virginia, and Arizona are all good options.
Defense:
Alabama: They get West Carolina at home. They are easily the best option.
Honorable mention: Georgia vs. Charleston Southern, Auburn vs. Samford
Stay Away: UCLA vs. USC, Missouri vs. Tennessee
