Will Indiana beat Ohio State? Can Oregon State upset Washington State? Our CFB picks for week 13

On By Littum

As college football’s regular season comes to a close, the intrigue of some of the Week 13 games turns up big.

In the Big Ten, undefeated Indiana tries to keep rolling toward a Big Ten championship berth when the fifth-ranked Hoosiers visit No. 2 Ohio State. The Buckeyes with a loss are 11-point favorites.

Meanwhile, no. 4 Penn State, which also remains alive in the hunt to face top-ranked Oregon in the conference title game, a potentially tough road game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Nittany Lions are favored by 11.5 points.

In the Pac-12, Oregon State will look to end its losing streak when the Beavers host Washington State. The Beavers have lost five straight and are 11.5 point underdogs, but can they put together a complete game against the Cougars?
