This is college football, unleaded. Black Friday games. Rivalry week. Conference championships and College Football Playoff bids on the line. Maybe we needed last week’s lackluster slate to mentally and physically prepare us for the feast that awaits. Either way, the final weekend of the regular season should be an absolute banger, which is something we can all be thankful for.

Here are the top 10 games of Week 14 and the CFP picture, starting with a few honorable mentions and counting down.

Honorable Mention: Navy at Memphis (Thu.), No. 13 Utah at Kansas (Fri.), Iowa at Nebraska (Fri.), Temple at North Texas (Fri.), No. 25 Arizona at No. 20 Arizona State (Fri.), Western Kentucky at Jacksonville State, LSU at No. 8 Oklahoma, James Madison at Coastal Carolina, No. 9 Notre Dame at Stanford.

10. No. 21 SMU (8-3) at Cal (6-5), 8 p.m., ESPN

That’s right, a classic ACC rivalry between Southern Methodist and California. But we’re dealing with the ACC chaos first, and what this matchup lacks in history, it makes up for with CFP stakes. SMU clinches a spot in the ACC Championship Game with a win over the Bears, who fired head coach Justin Wilcox on Sunday. The Mustangs currently have the best odds among ACC schools in The Athletic’s Playoff projection model at 48 percent, but they will have to win the conference title to get there.

Line: SMU -11.5

9. Virginia Tech (3-8) at No. 18 Virginia (9-2), 7 p.m., ESPN

At least there is some history in this one, a Commonwealth Clash that will also shape the ACC title game. Like SMU, Virginia locks down a berth with a victory. The Hoos are coming off an idle week to face a Hokies program that has lost three straight and is much more focused on the future under the recently hired James Franklin. But Virginia has only beaten its in-state rival twice in the last 21 years. A victory would secure Virginia’s second 10-win season in program history and first since 1989, and send the Cavaliers to the ACC championship for the first time since 2019, when they lost to Clemson.

Line: Virginia -10.5

8. No. 12 Miami (9-2) at No. 22 Pitt (8-3), Noon, ABC

Miami remains locked out of an at-large spot, and a win at freshly ranked Pitt probably won’t be enough to change that on its own. The Hurricanes still have a path to the ACC championship as well, but it requires SMU and/or Virginia (and maybe Duke) losing. It’s a similar situation for the Panthers, who can sneak into the title game with a win and a loss by either the Mustangs or Cavaliers. Either way, both of these teams still have something to play for. And for Miami, a victory would cement the debate against Notre Dame as one of the defining arguments of this year’s Playoff field — even if the Canes wind up on the short end of it.

Line: Miami -6.5

7. No. 6 Oregon (10-1) at Washington (8-3), 3:30 p.m., CBS

A potential must-win for the Ducks, who are a lock for the Playoff with a win but could be at risk of tumbling with a surprise loss to their old Pac-12 nemesis. The advanced metrics adore Oregon, and the team mostly passes the eye test, with a convincing victory over USC last week providing a much-needed boost to the resume. The Ducks have an 84 percent chance to reach the CFP in The Athletic’s projections, but Dan Lanning and his players will breathe a lot easier if they can take care of business against a Washington squad that rebounded from a shocking loss to Wisconsin with back-to-back blowout wins.

Line: Oregon -6.5

6. No. 7 Ole Miss (10-1) at Mississippi State (5-6), Fri., Noon, ABC

The Rebels are in the Playoff with an Egg Bowl win in Starkville, and they’re still alive in the SEC race if Alabama and Texas A&M both lose. This matchup is one of the most intense, animosity-fueled rivalries in college football, yet so much of the attention on this Black Friday game will be focused on the Lane Kiffin sweepstakes, with the Ole Miss athletic director stating a decision on the coach’s future is expected sometime this weekend. The growing sentiment seems to be that Kiffin will leave for either LSU or Florida, setting up a potentially unprecedented coaching departure for a Playoff team. It will be fascinating to see what impact, if any, the noise has on Ole Miss’s performance.

Line: Ole Miss -7.5

5. No. 4 Georgia (10-1) vs No. 23 Georgia Tech (9-2), Fri., 3:30 p.m., ABC

It seems impossible that this edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate could live up to last season’s eight-overtime instant classic, but it remains a must-see rivalry, particularly when both sides are ranked for only the 12th time in 119 matchups and for the first time since 2014. Georgia Tech’s loss to Pitt last week likely scuttled the Yellow Jackets’ hopes of playing for an ACC title and making the Playoff, but each of these teams still have scenarios to reach their conference championship games. The Bulldogs still have CFP seeding considerations on the line as well, and even if Tech’s Playoff hopes are probably dashed, and even though the game is at Mercedes-Benz Stadium instead of Bobby Dodd Stadium, Tech can still shake up the rankings with its first rivalry win since 2016.

Line: Georgia -13

4. No. 10 Alabama (9-2) at Auburn (5-6), 7:30 p.m., ABC

It’s win-and-in for Alabama, for both the SEC Championship Game and the 12-team Playoff. The Tide are currently just above the CFP cut line, claiming the final at-large spot. An Iron Bowl victory should be enough to secure a Playoff spot no matter what happens in the SEC championship, though every team below Alabama in the rankings is rooting for a misstep that would drop the Tide and crack open the at-large door. It will take quite the stunner from Auburn, which has lost six of its last seven against conference opponents, is playing under an interim head coach and hasn’t beaten Bama since 2019, but the Tigers are at home and less than a touchdown underdog.

Line: Alabama -6

3. No. 14 Vanderbilt (9-2) at No. 19 Tennessee (8-3), 3:30 p.m., ESPN

It’s the biggest game in the history of this rivalry. The 119th meeting between Vanderbilt and Tennessee is the first in which both teams are ranked, with Vandy still in the Playoff hunt. The Commodores and Heisman hopeful quarterback Diego Pavia need a road upset and some help to sneak into the CFP, while the Vols are looking for a seventh straight victory over their in-state foe. Vanderbilt has just a 29 percent chance of reaching the CFP, but regardless of the Playoff outcome, the program is also seeking its first 10-win season in school history.

Line: Tennessee -2.5

2. No. 3 Texas A&M (11-0) at No. 16 Texas (8-3), Fri., 7:30 p.m., ABC

The Aggies, already a shoo-in for the CFP, will go to the SEC Championship Game with a win on Black Friday. A victory would also put a bow on the program’s first undefeated regular season since 1994, when A&M was in the Southwest Conference, though that year featured a tie and bans from the conference title, postseason and television due to NCAA sanctions. The program’s last undefeated season with no ties was 1939. The Longhorns are a CFP longshot even with an upset, but they can spoil the Aggies’ perfect season and potentially knock them out of the conference title game. Quarterback Arch Manning is coming off his best game of the season, a six-total-touchdown performance in a win over Arkansas.

Line: Texas A&M -2.5

1. No. 1 Ohio State (11-0) at No. 15 Michigan (9-2), Noon, Fox

The top spot has to go to The Game. Michigan has won four in a row, and last year’s upset in Columbus proved that anything and everything is on the table in this rivalry. Here we are again, with an Ohio State team ranked No. 1 and a double-digit favorite, but with the specter of four straight losses hanging over them. Now they have to go on the road, against a peaking Michigan team that could potentially play its way into the CFP and the Big Ten title game if it extends the streak to five. Ryan Day and the Buckeyes hope to get their two stud receivers back and are headed back to the Playoff no matter what, and the program exorcised a lot of demons with that national championship run last season. But there’s still one left to vanquish.

Line: Ohio State -10
