Week 1
Texas A&M @ South Carolina: A great way to start of the SEC season, this is South Carolina's game to lose.
Clemson @ Georgia: Whoever loses this game will be in a hole for the rest of the season, while the winner will have a step above the rest.
Wisconsin vs. LSU: A game that can have a large impact in both the SEC and Big Ten.
Week 2
Michigan State @ Oregon: This game could have major backlash in both the PAC-12 and Big Ten. If Michigan State loses, the Big Ten becomes wide open. If Oregon loses, they cannot lose again if they want to make the playoff.
Week 3
Georgia @ South Carolina: The two best teams in the SEC East play very early in the season. That means the loser will have time to recuperate and get better.
Week 4
Auburn @ Kansas State: An Auburn loss may ruin their chances of making the playoff while a Kansas State win may propel them to the top of the Big 12.
Clemson @ Florida State: Probably the biggest game on the ACC slate. Clemson is most likely the only ACC team to put up a big challenge to the Seminoles.
Week 5
UCLA @ Arizona State: Arizona State are an under the radar squad in the PAC-12. If they pull of the early season upset, it may springboard them to a PAC-12 Championships.
Stanford @ Washington: Two of the top three teams in PAC-12 North face off in a key match-up that will be very important.
Week 6
LSU @ Auburn: A big game in the SEC West with the loser having a lot of ground to make.
Week 7
Oregon @ UCLA: Two of the best quarterbacks in the country face off in the biggest game on the PAC-12 calendar. Both teams have the best chance of any PAC-12 team of making the playoff. The loser will have to climb back up and stay perfect the rest of the way.
Oklahoma vs. Texas: After Texas' annihilation of the Sooners last year, Oklahoma has a chip on their shoulder. Bob Stoops' squad will leave it all on the field.
Week 8
Washington @ Oregon: After the big game the week before, Oregon has to bounce back and face a very good Washington squad. Oregon may be vulnerable after their big game against UCLA, while Washington will be ready to fight.
Week 9
Ole Miss @ LSU: Ole Miss have an extremely talented squad but because they are in the SEC West, the Rebels are never given much publicity. But if Ole Miss pulls off the upset, they will become Playoff contenders.
Week 10
Stanford @ Oregon: A battle between old fashion smash mouth football and the new uptempo, speed offense will have major significance in the PAC-12. The winner will be the new favorite in the PAC-12 North.
Florida @ Georgia: When rivals face off, even the big underdog (in this case Florida) can pull off the biggest upsets (for example: Oklahoma-Texas last year).
Week 11
Alabama @ LSU: Always one of the biggest match-ups of the year, LSU-Alabama will be great agin this year. If LSU's Leonard Fourentte has a big game, LSU will pull off the upset.
Ohio State @ Michigan State: If Ohio State can stay successful without Braxton Miller, this game will be very important in the weak Big Ten. The winner will have a much easier time the rest of the season.
Baylor @ Oklahoma: The two best teams in the Big 12 face off for supremacy. The winner will most likely be the champion of the conference, or will finish second.
Week 12
Nebraska @ Wisconsin: If Ohio State and Michigan State falter, this match-up may become very important in the outlook of the Big Ten.
Week 13
North Carolina @ Duke: A big match-up in the Coastal Division of the ACC, these two rivals have this game circled. The winner will most likely be the ACC Coastal Division champion.
Week 14
Stanford @ UCLA: This game may play a big part in who plays in the following week's PAC-12 Championship. The loser may find themselves out of the Championship Game and out of Playoff contention.
Auburn @ Alabama: The Iron Bowl will be an exciting game. If both Alabama and Auburn are undefeated to this point, this game will be extremely important.
Week 15
PAC-12 Championship: Maybe the best game of the whole year if it is a rematch of UCLA and Oregon.
ACC Championship: Florida State will make it to this game and will win it.
SEC Championship: Always a great match-up of some of the best teams in the country. This year it will be LSU vs. Georgia.
Week 16
Navy vs. Army: Army-Navy is always a big game. It is always a fun game to watch and this year will be no different.
