Last week: 6-3
Friday's games: 2-1
Season: 98-42 (exactly 70 percent)
It's rivalry week, with a few games in the books already. If you want to read analysis of UVa-Tech, I doubt you'll see it in this space, so you'll have to look elsewhere. If you really want more pain as a Hoos fan. Sad face. But this is one of the coolest days in college football, and so here are some of the games and what's at stake, with name of the rivalry if applicable.
"The Game"
No. 4 Michigan (10-1) at No. 10 Ohio State (10-1), Noon Fox
Winner takes the Big Ten East. Buckeyes have won 13 of 14 in series, but Wolverines have been
more consistent this season.
Michigan 33, Ohio State 27
"Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate"
Georgia Tech (7-4) at No. 5 Georgia (10-1), Noon SEC Network
Yellow Jackets are playing for better bowl. Bulldogs have won SEC East but need to win to maintain College Football Playoff bid.
Georgia 35, Georgia Tech 21
"Sunshine Showdown"
No. 11 Florida (8-3) at Florida Sate (5-6), Noon ABC
Gators don't want to lose to their rivals, who are struggling. Seminoles are just trying to salvage first season under Willie Taggart and get to a bowl game for 36th consecutive season.
Florida 27, Florida State 17

Both teams are playing for pride and hoping for prime bowl locations in what have been great years
for the programs.

"Iron Bowl"
Auburn (7-4) at No. 1 Alabama (11-0), 3:30 p.m. CBS
Alabama could maybe lose today or in SEC title game and still make playoff, but I don't think that's happening today.
Alabama 31, Auburn 10
No. 24 Pittsburgh (7-4) at Miami (6-5), 3:30 p.m. ESPN
