Thanksgiving Day is all about the NFL, though we did have one college game (Texas vs. Texas A&M). Today, however, is all about College Football. For a lot of teams this is rivalry day/weekend. This is also the final regular season game for most teams. In this post I’m going to break down a few of the important games – or at least the ones I’m looking forward to.

Let’s take a look at

Illinois vs. No. 5 Cincinnati
Cincinnati is a dark horse candidate to make it to the BCS Championship game. They must beat Ron Zook’s Illinois Fighting Illini team by a sizable margin if they want to impress the voters. Cincinnati is playing at home so I think they’re going to win. They will need a lot of help though to make the Championship game. They will likely need Alabama, Florida and Texas to all lose a game.

No. 2 Alabama vs. Auburn
This game is one of the best rivalries in the Southeastern Conference, if not the entire country. It’s called the Iron Bowl and goes back decades. These two teams hate each other. Alabama got the best of Auburn last year and though they are favored again this year (by 10 points) I’m not so sure they game will get out of hand. Alabama has played a lot of close games and is susceptible to a loss on the road.

No. 8 Pittsburg vs. West Virginia
I’m not sure Pittsburg has a chance to make the National Championship game, but they certainly can get a big for a BCS game. I have a feeling this is going to be a great game though – one of those games where there are 15 highlights. Both teams play football the right way and both teams dispise each other. That’s the formula for great football.

So what games are you looking forward to on this Friday? There are a ton to choose from.
