This is the End

As Jim Morrison and The Doors so eloquently sang, "This is the End" for the LATTICE 2012. This weekend is a culmination of an entire season. Many of these teams will decide their post-season fate Saturday, hopefully providing some clarity to this muddy BCS situation. After 13 weeks, 10 different winners, we have reached the end. It was a great year, and I hope all will return next season.

Now onto the important things. This is the final week of the regular season, so I felt it was only fitting to add some holiday cheer to the slideshow.

Happy Holidays !!!













The Bedlam Rivalry in Stillwater featuring #3 OKLAHOMA STATE hosting #10 OKLAHOMA has the single greatest impact on who goes to the BCS Championship.

#3 OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS








#10 OKLAHOMA SOONERS













It's been said #1 LSU can still make it in even if they shockingly lose to #13 GEORGIA in the SEC Championship game.

#1 LOUISIANA STATE TIGERS










#13 GEORGIA BULLDOGS






















If #8 HOUSTON can get one last victory over #24 SOUTHERN MISS, it would give them an undefeated regular season and a BCS Bowl Berth.

And for Shockey and Deml. possibly the only 2 MTSU fans around, some MTSU treats.

WEEK 13

Deml knotched his first victory of the year with an interesting strategy of all underdogs except Virginia Tech -11. It paid off as the BCS picture cleared up after Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oklahoma, & Clemson all took a loss. OK State still only has one loss , they "still have a chance". However, it appears the SEC is in the driver seat to have 2 teams in the BCS championship. Of course, all that could change with some late-season stumbling.

On to Week 13. We have some incredible match-ups, so there are a record 19 games on this week's Sheet. Thanksgiving Day features the last game in a longstanding rivalry, as Texas A&M hosts #25 Texas. In the 118th football game between the two biggest public schools in the state of Texas, the Texas Longhorns are +8 road underdogs against the Texas A&M Aggies.

Friday is when things really get going. The math up of the weekend again occurs in the SEC,as the #3 Arkansas Razorbacks travel to the bayou to face the #1 and undefeated LSU Tigers. What a way to take the greatest week in sports to another level. Can #8 Houston stay undefeated and challenge for a BCS game berth? The State of Georgia features two ranked rivalries as the Dawgs head to ATL to face the Yellowjackets. The Iron Bowl at #24 Auburn is all that may stand in the way of the Crimson Tide getting into the BCS title game. The State of South Carolina showcases #12 Gamecocks hosting #17 Clemson. #6 Stanford steps out of PAC-12 play and hosts #22 Notre Dame in their annual rivalry. Michigan vs Ohio State still means something in the Midwest, even if the Buckeyes have fallen fast. Can the VOls win #6 and become bowl eligible? Tennessee has won 26 consecutive games over Kentucky since 1985, the second-longest active winning streak between two NCAA D-I teams.
