College football Week 13 preview: Rivalry Week's high stakes

Like

Sick of hearing about Rivalry Week and just waiting for kickoff in Week 13? Too bad.

Here's another take on a week that for many will decide whether they make their conference championship game, which in turn has a huge say in whether they eventually make the four-team College Football Playoff.

Next year, when the playoff expands to 12 teams and conference championship games won't be recognizable to those who aren't aware the Big Ten stretches coast to coast and the SEC includes Texas and Oklahoma, many rivalry games just won't have the same meaning (but we'll still watch 'em).
