At long last, we have reached the final week of the college football regular season. Here are the games being played this week with the most on the line...

Yesterday - Central Michigan 31, Ohio 10 - Both of these two schools had seasons far above and beyond what they were supposed to have, and Central Michigan capped their dream season off nicely with a blowout of Ohio in the Championship Game. Now, they prepare for the Motor City Bowl.

Today - 8:00 - Southern Mississippi vs. Houston - This game is the Conference USA Championship. The winner gets a bid in the Liberty Bowl to play an SEC opponent to be named. Souther Miss beat Houston earlier in the season, 31-27.

Saturday, 12:00 - Connecticut @ Louisville - The Cardinals are in excellent position to win the Big East, but they do need help. In addition to needing to win this game, they need WVU to beat Rutgers later on in the day.

1:00 - Wake Forest vs. Georgia Tech - The ACC Championship Game. The winner goes to the Orange Bowl and will likely face the Big East Champion. These two teams have not met this season.

2:30 - Army vs. Navy - Obviously, a LOT of pride at stake here. Navy already has the Commander-in-Chiefs trophy locked up, and their post-season plans (a trip to the Car Care Bowl, where they could possibly meet Maryland in an in-state rivalry game, albeit out of state) are set in stone. But that doesn't mean this isn't a BIG game, even if pride is the only thing at stake.

3:00 - Stanford vs. California - Like Army/Navy, this is a big-time rivalry game that is all about pride at this point, with Cal having already made their post-season plans (Holiday Bowl vs. Texas A&M) and Stanford having none. But this is a big time battle for Bay Area supremacy, so it should be hard-fought, if little else.

4:30 - Southern California @ California Los Angeles - USC is coming off of a huge win over the Golden Domers, and looks to romp their intra-city rival in the season finale and lock up a trip to the BCS Title game. But UCLA would love nothing more than to spoil their biggest rival's season.

6:00 - Arkansas vs. Florida - SEC Championship Game. A trip to the BCS Title Game is still in reach for Florida, who would need to win this game in a rout and would need UCLA to beat USC and they would need a lot of help from the voters. More likely, the winner of this game is headed for the Sugar Bowl, and the loser to the Citrus to play Wisconsin. These two teams did not play each other in the regular season.

7:00 - Troy @ Florida International - Fresh off their win over Middle Tennessee State, Troy now finds themselves a mere one win away from the Sun Belt Conference Championship - not bad for a team that was D1-AA only a few seasons ago. And even better news, the only team remaining on their schedule is 0-11 Florida International. Should FIU play the ultimate spoiler, Middle Tennessee would win the Sun Belt, and go to the New Orleans Bowl to play Rice in Troy's stead.

7:45 - Rutgers @ West Virginia - The Big East title would belong to Rutgers if they can pull out this win over WVU. Should the Mountaineers win and Louisville win earlier, then Louisville would be the Big East Champion. If WVU and UConn won, then Rutgers, WVU, and Louisville would all be tied atop the standings each with 1-1 head to head records, and I don't know the tie-braking procedure in that instance.

8:00 - Nebraska vs. Oklahoma - The Big 12 Championship. The winner heads to the Fiesta Bowl. The two teams did not meet in the regular season.

Saturday/Sunday - Sometime after midnight - Oregon State @ Hawaii - The only reason I mention this game is because Hawaii QB Colt Brennan is 4 TD passes shy of breaking the NCAA single-season record in that category. And since he has 51 through 11 games, I would say that is extremely possible.
