As the College Football regular season is coming to a close, each game of the final few weeks grows in importance. The most important game is #7 Michigan State vs #5 Ohio State. The winner of this game will likely make the Big 10 championship game and will have a legitimate chance at making the College Football Playoff. Another game to look out for is #21 Arkansas, which will try to pull off an upset over #2 Alabama.
