They say time flies when you're having fun, so perhaps it's no surprise that 2025 college football the season is already coming to an end. It's been a chaotic and very interesting year, and Week 14 – the last full weekend before the postseason – is shaping up to be one of the most important.
That's fitting for a list meant to define Rivalry Week. Beyond the major implications of the College Football Playoff, every conference championship berth remains open. As of Thursday, no Power Four title games have been scheduled. Eight spots are still available, with multiple teams competing in each race.
The playoff picture, of course, cannot be ignored. Bubble teams like No. 15 Michigan and No. 14 Vanderbilt can strengthen their resumes against their biggest competitors. Elsewhere, No. 12 Miami continues to climb up the standings, but faces a tough road trip where he will face tough odds. Pittsburgh squad.
This all sets up a busy final weekend of the regular season. So which games deserve your attention on Saturday? Here's a viewer's guide to help you navigate the Week 14 action.
Best games
No. 1 Ohio at No. 15 Michigan – “Afternoon on Fox” FuboTV (try for free): Ohio State's return to the CFP is all but guaranteed, but the Buckeyes still have plenty of motivation. Michigan has beaten them four years in a row and remains the last monkey on coach Ryan Day's back. Wolverine also has a lot at stake. There's no stronger resume than knocking off the best team in the country, and a win might just secure Michigan's playoff berth.
No. 12 Miami at Pittsburgh – noon on ABC, FuboTV (try for free): Miami remains the ACC's highest-ranked team, although the Hurricanes' path to the ACC championship game is unlikely. They are still legitimate candidates at large. Pittsburgh's playoff path isn't easy, but the Panthers have a better chance of reaching their goal. Charlotte. All they need to do is upset the Hurricanes and either SMU or Virginia defeat and earning a spot in the ACC title game.
No. 14 Vanderbilt at No. 19 Tennessee — 15:30 on ESPN, FuboTV (try for free): This is without a doubt the biggest game in the history of this rivalry. Vanderbilt is knocking on the door of its first CFP appearance. While the Vols and Commodores have played nearly every year since 1913, this is the first time both have been in a game ranked in the AP Top 25. Tennessee isn't in playoff contention but is aiming for a fourth straight nine-win season, something it hasn't achieved since 1995-99.
No. 6 Oregon V Washington — 15:30 on CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App, Paramount+ Premium: Oregon overcame a difficult late-season stretch without adding any blemishes. The Ducks are coming off an impressive road win over Iowa and at home against No. 17 USCwhich put them in a strong position heading into the final week. However, they will have to land the plane against an old rival: Oregon is 1-3 in its last four meetings with Washington.
No. 10 Alabama V Auburn — 19:30 on ABC, FuboTV (try for free): The Crimson Tide once discussed a first-round bye despite losing to the team earlier in the season. Floridabut this prospect collapsed after the defeat on November 15 at Oklahoma. Alabama's once-popular offense has struggled as of late, failing to score more than 20 points against an FBS opponent in more than a month. Given the unpredictability of the Iron Bowl, the Tide can't afford to ignore Auburn—a loss would knock them out of the playoffs entirely.
