Week 13 college football picks, odds, lines, 2023 best bets from proven expert: This 3-leg parlay returns 6-1

If the latest College Football Playoff Rankings are an indication, Washington is now in control over its destiny after climbing to No. 4 in this week's release. The top five teams in the polls are all undefeated, but that will change on Saturday when No. 2 Ohio State plays No. 3 Michigan (-3) in The Game. Washington, however, can't stumble if it hopes to make its first CFP appearance in program history. No. 4 Washington is a 15.5-point favorite at home against Washington State during Rivalry Week according to the latest Week 13 college football odds via SportsLine consensus. 

The Week 13 college football schedule also includes rivalry games such as the Iron Bowl (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS) with No. 8 Alabama (-13.5) at Auburn as the Crimson Tide look to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.

Top Week 13 college football expert predictions

One of Sallee's top Week 13 college football picks: He likes the Under (49) in the matchup of No. 5 Florida State vs. Florida at The Swamp on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET.

Despite winning on the scoreboard last weekend to improve to 11-0 on the season, Florida State dropped to No. 5 in part due to the injury suffered to starting quarterback Jordan Travis (leg). The Seminoles will hand the offense to Tate Rodemaker, who fared well against North Alabama by completing 13 of 23 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. But Florida will be a much tougher test for the new Seminoles offense, and Sallee expects Florida State to rely more on its running game, slowing up the pace and keeping the score lower.

Florida is also without its starting quarterback with Graham Mertz (collarbone) out. A battle of backup signal callers could lead to conservative play calling on both sides that will drive down the point total, making the Under a value play in this matchup. See what other picks Sallee likes at SportsLine.
