Central Florida and Houston have very quietly combined to go 13-2 on the season, and are both currently undefeated in conference play. Because of Central Florida's win over Louisville, if the Knights win this game, they'll be cruising to a conference championship and an Orange Bowl bid. Meanwhile if Houston wins, and they can get past the Cardinals themselves, they'll be first in line for Florida in the winter.
Utah already has one major upset under it's belt this season after defeating Stanford several weeks ago. That game was also played at Rice-Eccles Stadium, a place that I've had the pleasure of visiting as an opposing fan. Trust me, it's no cakewalk. Arizona State is in for a fight of the highest order, and they better come out winners if they want to protect their lead in the division.
LSU has revenge on its mind after suffering two straight losses to the Crimson Tide, both of which kept them from a BCS title. Now with Zach Mettenberger looking better than ever and the Tide's defense looking beatable, it's time for the Tigers to strike.
Baylor looks to prove to everyone that they're for real, despite playing a soft schedule to date. The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to keep themselves in contention for the Big 12 crown, and a win could also see them move up to the Top 5 in the BCS.
The marquis game of the weekend actually happens on Thursday night, as Oregon looks to make amends after losing to Stanford in 2012. Marcus Mariotta looks like the only guy who can take the Heisman Trophy away from Jameis Winston, and he can go a long way to doing that with a big game against the Cardinal.
