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.

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.
