Top 5 games to check out this week



  1. No. 25 Brigham Young at Utah--The "Holy War." Even though Utah lost last week to Utah State, this is still a huge matchup between two teams that hate each other. TV: ESPN2 
  2. Western Kentucky at Kentucky--Another in-state rivalry game between two teams that don't like each other. WKU can gain some national recognition with a victory at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington, Kentucky. TV: ESPNU
  3. Louisiana-Monroe at Auburn--After beating #8 Arkansas in overtime Saturday night, national eyes will be on the Warhawks to see if they can pull off two huge upsets in a row. TV: SEC Network/ESPN3 (online)
  4. Florida International at UCF--With Florida International joining Conference USA and UCF leaving for the Big East next year, this rivalry may not be renewed in the future. Central Florida hosts and look to be the solid favorites although you never know in a rivalry game. TV: CSS
  5. Ohio at Marshall--Marshall was a surprise last season in making a bowl game despite a tough schedule in 2011. The Thundering Herd want revenge for a mauling they took early last season from the MAC runner-up. This is the toughest remaining game in the regular season for Ohio and could be the catalyst to a 12-0 regular season. TV: None
