Week 12 of the 2024-25 College Football season is one of those weeks where most of the big conference powerhouses are playing against vastly inferior opponents. A great example of this is Alabama playing Mercer. It’s basically a Bye Week.
However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any compelling matchups in Week 12. Outside of a few Big Ten games, the grid-iron drama can be seen in the smaller conferences like the Mountain West, MAC and AAC. Sure, these games won’t have a big impact on the College Football Championship picture, but they could land one of the teams in the Playoffs. Not to mention, there could be some juicy betting value on the board.
A few of the small-conference games that we’re highlighting this week include Tulane vs. Navy, Liberty vs. UMass, and Hawaii vs. Utah State. These games could make or break the postseason aspirations of the betting favorites.
Other games we’re looking forward to are Oregon vs. Wisconsin, Nebraska vs. USC, LSU vs. Florida, and Tennessee vs. Georgia. These big-conference matchups could greatly impact potential Conference Title game appearances.

Best College Football Week 12 Games
As you can see above, we’ve identified the best College Football Week 12 games. Of those matchups, there are a few that really stand out as must-watch contests:
Oregon Ducks vs. Wisconsin Badgers
The last two times that these teams played against each other was in the Rose Bowl of 2020 and 2012. Oregon won both of those meetings. In fact, the Ducks have won three in a row over Wisconsin. However, the Badgers have also won three games in this series, giving both teams a 3-3 record heads up.
Wisconsin definitely has a tough schedule for the season. Yet, they could still be fighting for a Bowl game in Week 12. The Ducks are hoping that a win over the Badgers can keep them in the Top 2 spots for the Big Ten Conference, in order to make the title game.
It’s never easy to play in Madison, WI. The Badgers are 2-0 all-time versus the Ducks in home games.
Tulane Green Wave vs. Navy Midshipmen
One of the small-conference games that’s worth keeping an eye on in Week 12, is an AAC Conference matchup between the Tulane Green Wave and Navy Midshipmen.
Tulane is supposed to contend with the Memphis Tigers for the AAC Championship. So, this team should be able to beat the Navy Midshipmen who are projected to be around 5.5 wins on the season.
Unfortunately for the Green Wave, Navy has been their kryptonite. In 25 all-time meetings, the series is tied up at 12-12-1. However, Navy has gone 6-1 over the last seven meetings between these two teams. Furthermore, Navy has won their last five home games in this series.
It will be interesting to see how Tulane handles this game and if they can overcome a conference rival as they make a bid for the postseason.
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
Other than Liberty, Western Kentucky is an odds-on favorite to win the Conference USA Championship. Louisiana Tech is expected to finish in the middle of the pack, so this game could be one where the Hilltoppers are looking past their opponent or play down to their level.
It should also be noted that these two teams are 5-5 against each other all-time. WKU has won the last two meetings and three of the last four. However, LA Tech won the last time this game was at Western Kentucky in 2017.
For the Hilltoppers to be a real threat in Conference USA, they need to win these games. We’ll see if they can overcome a pesky conference foe.
Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. USC Trojans
The last time these two schools played each other was in 2014. It was the Holiday Bowl and USC won by three points in a wild 45-42 game. The Trojans have gone 4-0-1 against the Cornhuskers all-time, and are hoping to keep that unbeaten record alive.
USC is an interesting team coming into this season. They jump from the defunct Pac-12 to the Big Ten and will be in a bit of transition after star players left for the NFL. Yet, heading into the season, oddsmakers believe that the Trojans could be in the top-half of the Big Ten. They also feel the same about Nebraska.
If the Cornhuskers take a step forward in on-field play this year, they could end up with just one loss heading into this Week 12 matchup, which adds even more significance. Nebraska’s toughest game is in Week 10 against Ohio State.
Both teams need this Week 12 win to advance towards Bowl Game eligibility. Will Nebraska finally beat USC for the first time or will the Trojans remain unbeaten against the Cornhuskers?
Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs. Utah State Aggies
The Mountain West Conference is often thought of as Boise State and everyone else. However, this year, there are some talented teams all aiming to dethrone the Broncos for the conference title. Two of those teams are meeting in Week 12 as Hawaii heads to Utah for a showdown with the Aggies.
For Utah State, if they don’t improve on this defense early in the year, there won’t be any postseason action. For Hawaii, this is an ideal opponent as they have an explosive offense, which could benefit from a defense that routinely gave up over 30 points a game over the last few years.
Which Mountain West team will rise to the occasion and stay within striking distance of a Conference Title game appearance?
