Predictions for every FBS game in Week 12.
Week 12 of the 2017 college football season features plenty of intriguing matchups, as conference play is in full effect with just three weeks of games remaining, and Athlon Sports is ready with complete predictions, preview and picks for the upcoming weekend of action. The Week 12 slate features only one matchup between top 25 teams, but there's no shortage of quality games to keep an eye on. Midweek MACtion kicked off the Week 12 slate on Tuesday night and continues into Wednesday with three games, including Western Michigan at Northern Illinois. Thursday's slate features USF hosting Tulsa and Buffalo traveling to Ball State. Friday's schedule also features two games, as MTSU-WKU meet in a key game for bowl positioning for both teams, while UNLV looks to keep its postseason hopes alive with a win at New Mexico. On Saturday, Wisconsin hosts Michigan at noon ET in the top game of Week 12. Outside of that Big Ten clash in Madison, Virginia-Miami, TCU-Texas Tech, UCF-Temple, SMU-Memphis and Texas-West Virginia are just a few of the games to watch in the first window. The afternoon slate features Navy-Notre Dame, Kansas State-Oklahoma State and Kentucky-Georgia. At night, LSU-Tennessee, Arizona-Oregon, Texas A&M-Ole Miss and UCLA-USC are just a few of the matchups on tap. One under the radar game for Week 12 takes place in Boca Raton, as Lane Kiffin's FAU Owls host FIU.
