College football odds, lines, schedule for Week 14: Texas, Ohio State favored in key rivalry week games

The biggest game on the Week 14 college football slate will see Texas travel to College Station to face Texas A&M with a spot in the SEC Championship Game vs. Georgia on the line. The Lone Star Showdown will be renewed for the first time since 2011, and the stakes have rarely been this high. 

Ohio State opens as a huge betting favorite to knock off arch-rival Michigan. The Buckeyes are on the doorstep of reaching the Big Ten Championship Game, and a rematch with Oregon would be on the table if Ryan Day’s squad takes care of business next weekend. But the Buckeyes have lost their last three games against Michigan. 

Notre Dame is also close to securing an at-large bid to the CFP following a blowout 49-14 win over Army. The Fighting Irish have won their last nine games dating back to a Week 2 loss against Northern Illinois. This weekend’s showdown against USC will be a final audition for the selection committee.

Clemson (-2.5) vs. South Carolina: The loser of this game is out of the playoff picture, in all likelihood. With Clemson being in danger of being left out of the ACC title game (Miami must beat Syracuse), this game could serve as its final audition…
