The Week 13 college football schedule has again taken some hits due to COVID-19, with No. 4 Ohio State vs. Illinois, No. 7 Cincinnati vs. Temple and No. 11 Oklahoma vs. West Virginia among the seven Saturday games that have been cancelled or postponed. There's still plenty of action, however, highlighted by rivalry matchups such as top-ranked Alabama vs. No. 22 Auburn in the 2020 Iron Bowl on CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET. William Hill Sportsbook lists the Tide as 24.5-point favorites, even without Nick Saban (COVID-19) on the sideline.
In the 2020 Egg Bowl, Ole Miss is -9.5 in the Week 13 college football odds against Mississippi State as coaches Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach bring even more flavor to an already intriguing rivalry.

Top Week 13 college football expert predictions
One of Sallee's top college football picks for Week 13: He says No. 4 Clemson vs. Pittsburgh goes over 55 points in that 3:30 p.m. ET ACC matchup. After more than a month on the sidelines following a positive COVID-19 test, Trevor Lawrence is scheduled to make his return this week and the top 2021 NFL Draft prospect will be looking to validate Clemson's status as the No. 3 team in the College Football Playoff rankings and set up a rematch with Notre Dame.
Lawrence was completing 70.7 percent of his passes and averaging 305.5 passing yards per game with 21 total touchdowns and just two interceptions in just six games prior to the diagnosis. Without Lawrence, the Tigers had to come back against Boston College and lost in double-overtime to Notre Dame, but still averaged 37 points per game.
With Lawrence, Clemson was averaging 48.2 points per game and the Pitt offense has also come around of late with 88 points in the last two games. Meanwhile, the Clemson defense has allowed 75 points in the last two games and Sallee sees plenty of offense on tap or Sunday to send this total flying over 55.

Sallee has also found two other college football picks he's high on, including a play on a line he thinks is more than 10 points off. You can only see his picks at SportsLine.
