Quick Look at the Five Biggest Games of Week 13

What a week this is going to be...

#6 Arkansas @ #1 LSU

If LSU wins, they are in the title game.  If the Razorbacks upset, who knows?  An Arkansas win would likely cause a three way tie for the SEC West Division which would be decided by BCS rankings.  Your guess is as good as mine as to what would unfold with an upset.

#21 Penn State @ #17 Wisconsin

The winner of this game wins the Leaders Division of the Big Ten and will face Legends Division champion Michigan State in the inaugural conference championship game for the right to go to the Rose Bowl.

#3 Alabama @ #24 Auburn

Another high stakes version of the Iron Bowl.  The winner of the previous two meetings between these two teams went on to eventually win the national championship.  If Alabama can take care of business on the road, they are likely in the BCS title game for the second time in three years.

#8 Virginia Tech @ Virginia

The ACC Coastal Division and a berth to Charlotte for the conference championship game are at stake.  The winner will take on ACC Atlantic Division champ Clemson for a trip to Miami in the Orange Bowl. 

Oregon State @ #4 Oregon

Call me a homer, but this game is very big.  Oregon State is coming off what is probably their most impressive win of the season in which they soundly took care of a slumping Washington Huskies team.  The Beavers would love nothing more than to upset highly ranked Oregon in Autzen Stadium, spoiling their hopes of a third consecutive conference title and another appearance in a BCS game.  Oregon must win in order to clinch the Pac-12 North Division and later host the winner of the South Division (either UCLA, Arizona State, or Utah since USC is on a postseason ban) in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship game.

Can't wait..
