College Football Expert Picks: Playoff Implications on the Line in a Big Weekend

Who will win Clemson vs Notre Dame, Florida vs Georgia, Michigan vs Indiana and more key college football games this weekend?

November kicks off with multiple major clashes in college football, including a top-five battle between Clemson—who will be without star quarterback Trevor Lawrence—and Notre Dame in primetime on Saturday night. Before that, the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will pit No. 8 Florida with No. 5 Georgia, and on Friday night, undefeated BYU will take on Boise State in an under-the-radar top-25 clash out west. All three games will help shape the upcoming College Football Playoff debate as the season marches on.

On top of that, the Pac-12 makes its 2020 debut, including USC hosting Arizona State (another anticipated Pac-12 clash, Washington vs. Cal, has been canceled due to COVID-19).

Who has the edge in the the three heavyweight bouts, plus a host of other intriguing key games this weekend? SI's writers predictions are in for 13 matchups.
