Article:Week 12 College Football Projections: Scores From Every Game

Week 12 NCAA Projections Scores and standings for every team By Paul Bessire, WhatIfSports.com August 22nd, 2008

We will preview a college football week each day for 15 days, including scores and updated standings for each week. At the conclusion of those previews, we will present our bowl match-ups with results and final updated pre-season Power Rankings (see original rankings below).

Rosters and depth charts are up-to-date and as accurate as possible as of August 1, 2008. A schedule of upcoming college football preview content including links to other previews that have already been posted is located here.

Also, see below for details on how you can run your own college football program for FREE.

Today we preview Week 12.

Game of the Week: Notre Dame 30 (6-4) @ Navy (5-5) 23 This may not be a match-up of elite teams, but it is an interesting game (and more people will read this story if we feature it). For now, it appears as though these teams are headed in opposite directions. Notre Dame has a great amount of football talent and appears headed for a bowl in 2008. Navy will still probably make a bowl because of its tie-ins (and that it is better than Army), but the team will not be quite as good this year without Paul Johnson running the show. The Irish try to start another 44-year win streak over Navy by winning 77% of the time and by an average score of 30-23.
