There are several huge games with regional and national implications this weekend. But when you look at rivalries, what the nation thinks is all well and great, but when you are playing a team from within your own state or in a border state, there is so much more at stake.

But the biggest game deals with two storied rivals with the Fighting Irish looking to stay unbeaten while the USC Trojans look to get it done again with a 2nd string QB.

As always, we will hold off our Ohio State pick until Friday.
