College Football: 25 Bold Predictions for Top 25 in Week 12

Bold Prediction: Sam Darnold doesn’t throw an interception. Not bold enough for you? In the Trojans 11 games this season Darnold has thrown an interception in eight of them. He hasn’t posted back to back games without a pick yet this season. He didn’t throw one against Colorado last weekend, so avoiding a pick this weekend would be a bit of a surprise.

Bold Prediction: James Franklin gets Mike Riley fired. The coaching dominoes continue to fall. Scott Frost is the current eye-candy dangling in front of the Huskers and this will be the final straw as the Nittany Lions rediscover their offense at home.

Bold Prediction: J.T. Barrett runs for 100 yards. Barrett scored four times (twice through the air and twice on the ground) against Michigan State. This is another case of the Buckeyes’ getting to pick how they want to win on Saturday. Barrett stretches his legs and gets his first 100-yard rushing game of the season.

Bold Prediction: Ian Book finishes this game. Brandon Wimbush was benched during Notre Dame’s biggest game of the season after he failed to make even the easier throws against Miami. Book might not have the legs that Wimbush does, but he’s a competent passer. He’ll make the most of his opportunity and force Brian Kelly to make a difficult decision against Stanford.
