Games to Watch: Week 14

It's Thanksgiving, and rivalry week, and all of the conference races are coming to a head.  Do you really need reasons to watch games?

On Thursday, if you're not into NFL action, ESPN has Ole Miss at Mississippi State, while Fox Sports 1 has Texas Tech at Texas.

Friday
2:30 PM
Arkansas at LSU, CBS.  Always a fun one, and this is like a 3:30 Saturday game on CBS.

3:30 PM
Miami at Pitt, ABC.  ACC Coastal Wheel of Destiny, part 1.  As we enter this weekend, there are four teams with a chance of winning the ACC Coastal, and three games key to the division title.  At least one team will be eliminated after each game.  If Miami loses this one, then Georgia Tech stays alive.

Saturday
Noon
Duke at North Carolina, ESPN2.  ACC Coastal Wheel of Destiny, part 2.  I wonder if ESPN is betting on Duke losing this game.  If Duke wins, they win the Coastal.  If they lose, we have to keep watching for Virginia Tech to make the final determination.

Florida State at Florida, ESPN.  Probably a much more lopsided matchup than anyone could have predicted.

Ohio State at Michigan, ABC.  This is one of the biggest rivalry week games every year.

3:30 PM
Alabama at Auburn, CBS.  Winner goes to the SEC Championship.

Virginia Tech at Virginia, ESPNU.  ACC Coastal Wheel of Destiny, part 3.  If Duke loses, then this game will determine the ACC Coastal winner.  A VT win would put them in the title game, but a loss would put either Miami or GT, based on Friday's outcome.  If Duke wins, then we're only looking at this as another Commonwealth Cup matchup.

7 PM
Clemson at South Carolina, ESPN2.  Both are making cases for the BCS.

7:45 PM
Texas A&M at Missouri, ESPN.  Two years ago, a Big 12 matchup.  Now, an SEC tilt that will determine the SEC East champion.  If Missouri wins, they go.  If they lose, they send South Carolina.
