Though I am not predicting an upset in the early window on Saturday, keep an eye on the game going on up in Columbus. Will the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes defeat the No. 9 Indiana Hoosiers? Yes, but the game will be closer than we all think. Indiana has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2020 season. This team is a legit one under head coach Tom Allen.
While I do not see any upsets in the mid-afternoon window, there are a few games where one could happen. The likeliest one will be the unranked Kansas State Wildcats potentially picking off the No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones in Farmageddon over in Ames. The game between the No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 19 Northwestern Wildcats is the best game of this time slot.
And yes, in the latter part of Week 12, I am predicting three teams to be upset. Look for the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners to defeat the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys in Bedlam. The unranked North Carolina State Wolfpack will hand the No. 21 Liberty Flames their first loss of the year. A fired-up Utah Utes team will wipe the floor with an overrated No. 20 USC Trojans team in Salt Lake City.
