Sports Pulse
Thanksgiving week means rivalry week in college football, and the lineup has no shortage of spicy matchups for our panel of pickers to predict as November draws to a close. With every team in the US LBM Coaches Poll Top 25 in action, our experts will have a full plate of 22 games to consider.
The headliner, of course, is the anticipated reunion between No. 3 Texas and No. 19 Texas A&M. Not that it needs any additional drama, but the prime-time clash in College Station has the added stakes of a berth in the SEC championship game.
The weekend gets an early start Thursday night as No. 18 Tulane hosts No. 23 Memphis. The only other Top 25 showdown on the weekend is a doozy as No. 14 South Carolina visits No. 12 Clemson. Of course, the lineup also features the usual slate of traditional season-ending contests, including No. 2 Ohio State taking on Michigan, No. 5 Notre Dame traveling to Southern California, and the Iron Bowl tilt between No. 13 Alabama and Auburn.
