[Author's Note: In Parts 12-14 of my College Football series... I may get a little obsessive-compulsive with "The Importance of Winning AT HOME, on SENIOR DAY."]
Here is a recap of Jimson's Top 10 Standings After Week 13 of the 2008 College Football season:
1. Florida Gators 11-0
2. Utah Utes 12-0
3. Texas Tech Red Raiders 11-0
4. Missouri Tigers 11-0
5. Kansas Jayhawks 10-1
6. Arizona State Sun Devils 9-1
7. West Virginia Mountaineers 9-1
8. Georgia Bulldogs 9-2
9. Alabama Crimson Tide 9-2
10. Clemson Tigers 10-1
Now, it's time to move on to Week 14 of the 2008 college football season.
Key Games in Week 14:
Kansas (10-1) vs. Missouri (11-0) (in Kansas City, Missouri)
Obviously, this Big 12 North showdown is the game of the week in Week 14! In fact, this matchup features two teams, who are each ranked in the top five... as the #5 Kansas Jayhawks and the #4 Missouri Tigers face off, in Arrowhead Stadium!
In addition, BOTH of these teams head into this showdown, with so much momentum, and coming off a bye week! In fact, the Missouri Tigers head into the showdown with an UNDEFEATED record... while the Kansas Jayhawks are coming off a HUGE WIN, AT HOME, on SENIOR DAY, against the Texas Longhorns, in Week 12.
In the end, I expect the Missouri Tigers to defeat the Kansas Jayhawks, and improve to 12-0... to set up an ALL-UNDEFEATED Big 12 Championship Game, against the Texas Tech Raiders!
Winner: Missouri
Auburn (8-3) @ Alabama (9-2)
It is SENIOR DAY in Tuscaloosa, Alabama... for the Alabama Crimson Tide!
Well, it's time, once again for the Iron Bowl, as the Auburn Tigers travel to Tuscaloosa to take on the #9 Alabama Crimson Tide!
Although Alabama has already won the SEC West, and clinched a berth to the SEC Championship Game (against Florida), it must also be noted that the Auburn Tigers have defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide SIX years in a row, in the Iron Bowl!
Remember what the Alabama Crimson Tide did last season, AT HOME, on SENIOR DAY?
Well, it's VERY EMBARRASSING, to say the least! However, I am pretty sure that most people remember it.
On November 17th last season, the Alabama Crimson Tide LOST AT HOME, on SENIOR DAY to the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, 21-14. In fact, this following quote was written, on the Louisiana-Monroe @ Alabama game recap, on ESPN.com:
