We’ve got just three weeks left in the 2017 college football season, and week 13 gives us a Thanksgiving treat in the form of the #1 team in the nation taking on the #6 team who happens to be from the same state. Of course I’m talking about Alabama going into Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on the Auburn Tigers, which should be the biggest test Alabama’s faced all season.
Before we start thinking about bowl match-ups, week 13 brings us a handful of rivalry games of teams in close proximity. The Mississippi battle between Ole Miss and Mississippi State happens on Thanksgiving day, while Saturday features tough, competitive bouts between Michigan and Ohio State, North Carolina and North Carolina State, and South Carolina and Clemson.
