Week 13 11/25 (SAT)

It is a tough call on which week on paper looks like the most exciting weekend full of the best matchups. I love the opener, but nothing is more exciting when championships and bowl bids are often handed out on the final weekend of the season. We cannot count the following weekend as a true slate of games since nearly all are to be determined games and of course it isn’t a full slate either.

The week after that we will see Army vs Navy which is followed by the Heisman being awarded. The last weekend of November is rivalry weekend. Throw out the records, nobody despises each other and respects it more than this weekend. Plus, it is Thanksgiving weekend so while we are all eating those leftovers, we get to truly feast on the best matchups of the entire season!

Ole Miss at Mississippi State (THU); Florida State at Florida; Washington State at Washington; Texas A&M at LSU; West Virginia at Oklahoma; Ohio State at Michigan; Alabama at Auburn; Notre Dame at Stanford; Iowa at Nebraska; Baylor at TCU; Wisconsin at Minnesota; Miami FL at Pittsburgh
