November 27 – Texas A&M at Texas – The lone star showdown is the third oldest rivalry in the country. Texas has dominated the series 73-36-6, but the Longhorns have lost the last two meetings as seven and 14-point favorites. However, this year Texas will "hook em," as a 35-point favorite over the A&M Aggies.
November 28 – Mississippi State at Mississippi – Mississippi owns a 59-39-6 record in "The Egg Bowl", and the Rebels are going to a bowl for the first time in five years under their new coach Houston Nutt. Each of last two meetings were decided by a field goal with MSU Bulldogs scoring 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter last year for a 17-14 victory.
November 28 – Colorado at Nebraska – Colorado and Nebraska are two underperforming programs trying to get back on top. Nebraska has seven wins this season and finds themselves as an inflated favorite (-17) looking to "stampede" the Buffalo’s, after Colorado hammered the Huskers last year 65-51.
November 28 – Ohio U at Miami, Ohio – The "Battle of the Bricks" has been won by the Ohio Bobcats the past two seasons, but Miami is 14-4 over their MAC rival since 1990.
November 28 – Bowling Green at Toledo – Less than 25 miles of freeway separates these two MAC rivals in the "Battle of I-75." With the rust belt bragging rights and the "peace pipe" at stake, these two teams have combined to average 66 points-per-game the last eight years.
November 29 – South Carolina at Clemson – SEC vs. ACC in this bitter in-state rivalry. The last three contests have been decided by four points or less with Clemson winning last season's showdown 23-21 on a last second field goal.
November 28 - West Virginia at Pittsburgh - This marks the 101st meeting between these two teams in a series known as the "Backyard Brawl." More than just a catchy nickname for a rivalry game, these two schools genuinely do not like each other.
Pitt pulled the shocker in last year’s regular season finale, knocking off No. 2 ranked West Virginia 13-9 as a 29-point underdog for one of our easiest wins of the college football season. Pittsburgh leads the all-time series 60-37-3, and the teams have split the last eight meetings.
