You’ve heard the mantra countless times and you're sick of it: Every game matters in college football. We won’t go that far, but we will say that almost every Saturday produces a game that either further focuses or distorts the national title game picture. The playbook is filled with both straight-ahead rushes (Alabama’s 12-0 breakaway run that took them all the way to the SEC championship game) and misdirection plays (Oklahoma’s loss to Texas, which elevated the Longhorns to No. 1, only to have the Sooners play for the national title). And it’s often when we most believe that we have clarity (Penn State wins at Ohio State) that we don’t (Penn State loses at Iowa). So, it may be a little early (a lot early) to forsooth which games next autumn will have the greatest impact as to determine the two teams who’ll meet in Pasadena in the BCS Championship Game. But it is still fun. Here then, are our 20 games most likely to play a role in achieving that outcome. |
