College football power rankings: 5 best games of Rivalry Week
By John Buhler
3. Egg Bowl: Ole Miss Rebels (9-2) at Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-4)
This has a chance to be the greatest Egg Bowl of all time. Not only are the Ole Miss Rebels on the precipice of getting to a New Year’s Six bowl, but the Mississippi State Bulldogs are more than holding their own in SEC play this year. With this one being played in Starkville, tensions will be high on Thanksgiving Night. Let’s hope nobody lifts their leg to celebrate once hitting pay dirt.
2. Bedlam Series: Oklahoma Sooners (10-1) at Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-1)
One could argue for Bedlam to be the best game on tap this weekend. The Oklahoma Sooners will travel to Stillwater to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys with playoff hopes still alive for both teams. While the Pokes have already punched their tickets to Arlington, the Sooners have to win in Bedlam to force a neutral-site rematch the following week. Bedlam is about to be beyond bonkers.
1. The Game: Ohio State Buckeyes (10-1) at Michigan Wolverines (10-1)
If there is one college game to watch on Thanksgiving Weekend, it has to be The Game. As with Bedlam, this one features two bitter rivals with playoff implications on the line. Whoever wins in Ann Arbor between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines will be heading to Indianapolis. If this game’s winner defeats the Big Ten West champion, they are playoff-bound.
There is no shortage of great games being played out in the college circuit this holiday weekend.
