The college football TV schedule for Week 13 couldn't differ more from Week 12. It is the polar opposite of a week that looked relatively bland, with three of the four unbeaten teams sitting out the week. This time around, the college football fans will be in heaven. With the two days following Thanksgiving chock full of action, it's the perfect time to stuff yourself and just watch TV for two days straight. Forget shopping, everywhere you look there's a big game or a rivalry -- even those that are meaningless, save for pride, like Indiana-Purdue. The nation's three top teams are going to be tested, so those are the most important games -- and you'll be able to watch them in succession Friday. The Iron Bowl -- Cam Newton's No. 2 Auburn team heads to No. 9 Alabama -- comes first, followed by No. 1 Oregon hosting No. 20 Arizona. If you're still laying on the couch awake, No. 3 Boise State visits No. 19 Nevada for the nightcap.
There's a murderer's row of big games on Saturday, though, so don't pack it in after Friday. Among the rivalries: Michigan-Ohio State, Florida-Florida State, Virginia-Virginia Tech, Clemson-South Carolina, Mississippi State-Ole Miss, BYU-Utah, Georgia Tech-Georgia ... you get the idea. It doesn't end there. There's even Grambling vs. Southern or the annual Notre Dame-USC tilt.
And if you want a big game between two highly-ranked teams, what about Arkansas-LSU?
Check it all out and get ready for a great extended weekend of college football action.
