SALT LAKE CITY — It's time for another weekend of college football, so let's look at the Week 12 slate of picks.

The end of the regular season is drawing near, but there's still plenty to learn as teams make their final push for a potential College Football Playoff berth.

The weekend starts on Friday (remember to get those picks in) with UCLA traveling to Washington to face a familiar team, just with a different conference logo on the jersey. The Bruins have seemingly turned a corner and could be a dangerous team in Seattle.

On Saturday, Utah travels to Boulder to face a much-improved Colorado team on pace to meet up with BYU in the Big 12 championship game. Those these teams are different, the Buffaloes haven't beaten the Utes in the last seven tries, but Utah just lost another QB for the season.

Clemson then hits the road to face a good Pittsburgh team that could all but eliminate the Tigers from any playoff talk (if that hasn't already happened). But winning the conference still isn't out of the question as both these teams attempt to make the conference title game.

Utah State returns home with hopes of a third win on the season against a Hawaii team that has been slightly better than the Aggies. But it's anyone's guess in this one in Logan.

And lastly, BYU rounds out the day with the late game against Kansas at home. The Jayhawks have been much better as of late, and Jalon Daniels is looking to play spoiler again. Can BYU continue its undefeated mark, or is it upset season in Provo?
