The nature of college football means that the fate of an entire season can rest on the outcome of a single game. A single loss is not always devastating to a team, depending on who they lose to, but it can make the rest of the season tough to navigate. The harsh reality is that 2 losses tend to mean the end of the playoff road, at least for now, which means that some games are just that much bigger than others. We have gone through the schedule and picked out 15 games that we believe are must-bet this college football season, so let’s get to it.

Georgia at Tennessee
Week 12

Week 10
When: Saturday, November 4 at TBD
Where: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA

Given the current state of the PAC 12, this might be the last time we see these two lock horns for a minute. Both of these teams should be in the hunt to win the conference, so definitely a big one.

Week 9
When: Saturday, October 28 at TBD
Where: Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, WI

Week 11
When: Saturday, November 11 at TBD
Where: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR

There are a few teams that could potentially win the PAC 12 this season, but I have a feeling it’s going to be dog eat dog. The loser of this one immediately goes in the hole.
