Last weekend was a tune-up weekend for a lot of top teams as we enter the exciting Week 13 which brings us the Iron Bowl (Auburn - Alabama), The Game (Ohio State - Michigan), and the most anticipated Apple Cup (Washington - Washington State) since.. well, ever. While all eyes will be on Ohio State - Michigan this weekend, look for some under-the-radar games such as South Carolina - Clemson, Nebraska - Iowa, and the Florida - Florida State game to provide some great Thanksgiving weekend entertainment. The final weekend before conference championship weekend, the Big Ten is still up for grabs as Michigan - Ohio State - Penn State are in a three-way race for the Big Ten East. Michigan controls their destiny, win and they're in. Ohio State needs a win over the rival Wolverines and a Penn State loss to Michigan State. Penn State needs to take care of business against Michigan State and needs Ohio State to take down Michigan. Grab some popcorn, Thanksgiving leftovers, and a warm seat by the fire... this should be entertaining.
