This week is going to be DOPE.
Cancel any and all plans on Saturday because we've got a lot of great football to watch. The race to the playoffs truly begins this weekend for a lot of teams. This is going to feel like New Year's Day in the past!
MY 5 GAMES TO WATCH
1) Arizona at Oregon
What's the TV rating for this game? The Ducks got blown out in the desert last year. This will have to be a DVR special for me with the 10:30 start. Stupid Pac-12.
2) Texas A&M at Mississippi State
One of several games between ranked teams, and it's a noon start! Both teams are coming off big wins, although the Bulldogs didn't play last weekend. A win here could boost Dan Mullen's stock through the roof.
3) Alabama at Ole Miss
ESPN GameDay makes its first appearance in Oxford. Let's hope the Rebels don't get their doors blown off!
4) LSU at Auburn
Are enough people talking about this game? I think more folks should be talking about this game. Talk about this game in the comment section. By the way, the last 6 teams listed on here are from the SEC West. What a division.
5) Nebraska at Michigan State
Perhaps the last big game for the Big Ten? Perhaps ever? I don't know, either way this one is going to go a long way to deciding the top dog in that conference.
