College Football TV Schedule Week 13: What Games Have Big BCS Implications?

Welcome back to another edition of the College Football Television Schedule, for Week 13. For those of you new to the weekly column I would like to say welcome and thank you for coming in. 

Last week college football happened way too fast. It's nice that for a couple of days we can sit back and just digest what in the heck happened last week. We had three of the Top 5 lose and four of the Top 10 get thrown down the BCS Standings. 

And now we are left with the Top Three, all SEC West Division teams. 

What else does this conference need in their argument that they are the best conference in college football? Do we need to rename the BCS Trophy the SEC West Title? Or should we just say whoever wins the SEC Championship Game is the National Champion this year? 

I kid, so SEC fans you can put down your torches. Everyone knows that your conference is the best in college football. If you don't mind I'll go back to rooting for my Pittsburgh Panthers and their 5-5 record. That 5-5 record has them one game out of the lead of the Big East conference and an automatic spot in a BCS Bowl game. 

Yes at 7-5, Pittsburgh can be right there with Alabama, LSU or Arkansas in a BCS game. 

And you say that we don't need a playoff system in college football. 

Okay enough chit chat, let's get to this week's full list of games. Be sure to check all of your local listings and please enjoy all turkey in moderation this week. 

Because it's the end of the BCS as we know it and I feel fine.
