Week 12 of the CFB season is upon us and we have a special Monday preview episode for you, as the guys are hitting the road this weekend to check out Autzen Stadium for the Oregon vs. Minnesota contest. The Ducks -- fresh off a thrilling win against No. 20 Iowa -- return home to take on a 6-3 Gophers squad coming off a bye. Can Dante Moore and Oregon stay on track and set up a likely top-15 showdown in week 13 against USC? Or will Drake Lindsey and the Gophers play spoiler?

Elsewhere, College Gameday heads to Pittsburg for a contest between Pitt and Notre Dame which, despite Pat Narduzzi's objections, is a big game with significant playoff implications.

In the Big Ten, USC hosts Iowa -- while Michigan travels to Chicago to take on Northwester -- with the former teams looking to keep its playoff hopes alive. Indiana (-30.5 vs Wisconsin) and Ohio State (-31.5 vs UCLA) are heavy home favorites as they both look to continue marching to Indianapolis undefeated. Maryland takes on Illinois, while Penn State and Michigan State battle to remain bowl-hopeful, and Washington looks to get back on track vs. Purdue.

The guys also break out the MAC Minute.
