The final week of the college football regular season is here, and that can mean only one thing: Rivalry Week is here. Even for teams not in the College Football Playoff or high-level bowl game discussion, there’s something to play for this week. But while all rivalry games are entertaining to watch, five games, in particular, stand out that should be both heated and critical for postseason implications. Here’s a look at the most in-demand games to attend this Rivalry Week, using insights from SI Tickets.
No. 3 Michigan at No. 2 Ohio State, Nov. 26, noon ET
For the second straight year, the stakes in one of CFB’s most heated rivalries could not be greater. With both teams entering the final week of the regular season undefeated, the winner in this one may decide not just the Big Ten title, but who goes to the College Football Playoff. This weekend’s results also opened the door for the loser to earn a spot in the top four, but the most direct path to the CFP remains winning the next two Saturdays and being a 13–0 conference champion.
