Games To Watch: Week No. 14

#7 LSU versus #14 Tennessee
4:40 PM ET on CBS
There’s a lot of talk around the nation about LSU, but that talk is not about the Tigers getting in the BCS and, if both Mizzou and West Virginia lose, quite possibly playing for the national title. The talk is more about Les Miles bouncing to Michigan and Bo Pelini sending his laundry to Nebraska. If you don’t think that this can be a distraction to a team going into a big game, you’re crazy. And this is a big game, and it’s against one of the most underrated quarterbacks in college football today, Erik Ainge, and his Tennessee Volunteers who come off a confidence-building 4-OT win over Kentucky—who, back in October, just happened to beat LSU.

#6 Virginia Tech versus #11 Boston College
1:00 PM ET on ABC
Virginia Tech couldn’t stop Matt Ryan and Boston College back in October, and to no one’s surprise they get a shot at revenge in this Saturday’s ACC title game. The Hokies have been playing well as of late, while the Eagles managed two losses since the last meeting. Play for all four quarters, and Virginia Tech will playing in the Orange Bowl. But, if they give Boston College any breathing room whatsoever those watching this game live in Jacksonville and on television will almost certainly experience déjà vu.
