The first and foremost is the chance to win the ACC Championship against one of three potential upset giants. The second is the rumor mill will continue to swirl until told otherwise in regards to the future of Bobby Bowden. Now Seminoles Fans will say that he'll be back next season, but even they have to be skeptical with the actions that have taken place in Tallahassee this season. And the third reason: The Annual Governor's Cup Game between them and Florida. The Noles need this win not just for their division, but to have enough motivation to defeat the Gators next weekend in Tallahassee.
Final Score: Maryland 20, Florida State 14
Michigan State vs. Penn State
The Big Ten is on the line this weekend as the three major players will be in action this weekend. In The Valley, everything has been Happy...except for that Iowa shocker. But Penn State still has a chance to win the Big Ten Conference with a victory over Michigan State.
The Spartans can play spoiler with a win this weekend over the Lions. PSU is eyeing a Big Ten title and a BCS Bowl appearance. With Ohio State playing a beyond mediocre Michigan team, it's obvious that depending on these two games, the Big Ten Conference could either have a three-peat offender or a new king to the Big Ten Throne. This game should be good regardless. If you're looking for an alternative to the ratings crash known as Michigan-Ohio State, look no further than this game in Happy Valley.
Final Score: Penn State 37, Michigan State 24
Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma
And now, from Norman, Oklahoma...IT'S TIME!!!! This is the main event of the evening. This is a battle between two Big XII goliaths for the Big XII South Championship! Introducing the contender on my left, from Lubbock, Texas, The Ultimate Underdogs of the Big XII, The Red Raiders of Texas Tech University!
And their opponents, standing in the corner to my right, the Powerhouses of the Big XII, the Nightmares of Norman. Led by Bob Stoops and Sam Bradford, the Undisputed, defending Big XII Champions, the University of Oklahoma "Boomer" Sooners!
You want a fight? You want a war? You want a slugfest? This is the game that is guaranteed to deliver! With the Big XII South on the line, all Oklahoma has to do is stun the Raiders and stop their dream of the perfect season. For the Raiders, they have to go into Norman, handle the crowd and survive the trip with a win. But a loss, and well...you remember all those fights that everyone has been dishing out over the past three weeks?
Guess what? Someone's feelings are going to get hurt this weekend. A Tech win guarantees that Texas and Oklahoma are out of the running for the Big XII South. But does that guarantee that neither of them will play for the BCS Championship. In any event, I did say that I smelled an upset on the horizon this weekend...and I think I found it.
Final Score: Oklahoma 37, Texas Tech 34
