Rivalry week is perhaps the most exciting time in college football. Do not miss some of the best matchups of the final weekend of the regular season.

On one of the biggest days of the college football season, it’s time to throw the records and rankings out the window. With College Football Playoff (CFP) implications, conference championships, and bowl game berths on the line- there is no doubt to believe that utter chaos is on its way and anything can happen when two rivals square off.

A good chunk of the Week 13 games are rivalry meetings. With that, the college football season is set up with the opportunity to see many top-ranked teams fall. Thanksgiving weekend is here and football is on seemingly every day. It can be hard to catch every rivalry game and the importance each game brings.

Trophy games and bragging rights are on the line in addition to dream season and championship hopes. From historic matchups to gaining in an edge in the all-time series- or simply trying to gain a leg up this season, this weekend’s matchups are going to be one for the ages.

Grab a seat on the couch and a plate full of food. Here’s a run through of which rivalry games might be worth tuning into.
