Ohio State and Michigan face off as undefeated teams for the first time since 2006 highlight week 13 in CFB

Ohio State and Michigan face off as undefeated teams for the first time since 2006 highlight week 13 in CFB.

The winner of this game clinches a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game and is a near lock to reach the College Football Playoff. However, the loser is still in good shape (especially if it’s the Buckeyes):

Chance to Reach CFP – Based on Head-to-Head Result
Michigan                             Ohio State
MICH win 97%                       80%
OSU win 63%                           99%

This will be just the 9th time in major college football history two teams enter a regular-season matchup at 11-0 or better and the 4th since 1900. Last time it happened was the 2009 SEC Championship Game between 12-0 Alabama & 12-0 Florida while OSU - Michigan also made this list previously back in 2006.

Since 1935, when Michigan and Ohio State started scheduling each other as the last regular season game, Saturday will be just the 5th time the two schools enter their annual matchup undefeated. Ohio State has had the upper hand in these matchups, going 3-0-1.

Historically, AP Top-5 matchups have not been kind to the Wolverines. They are 6-23-1 in these games, the most losses by any team in the Poll Era (since 1936). That is also the 3rd-worst record in AP Top-5 matchups among teams to play five such games.

After a thrilling 48-45 victory over UCLA, the Trojans turn their attention to Notre Dame on Saturday Night Football. The Trojans have scored 40+ points in five consecutive games, their longest streak since 2003 and their 2nd-longest streak in program history.

This will be the first USC-Notre Dame game as head coaches for both Lincoln Riley and Marcus Freeman. It marks the first time each head coach will make their debut in the rivalry since Lane Kiffin and Brian Kelly in 2010. The only other times this occurred was in 1941 and 1926, the first meeting between the two schools.

Overall, USC head coaches making their debut in the rivalry are 3-13 all-time while Notre Dame head coaches making their debut are 8-7.

USC has a +20 turnover margin this season, the best of any team in the FBS.  In addition, USC has recorded 18 interceptions, the most in the FBS and its most in a season since 2012.

First meeting: 1892
Series history: Alabama leads 48-37-1  Alabama has won the last two meetings and hasn’t lost the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa since 2010, when Auburn went on to win the national championship.

First meeting: 1958
Series history: Florida leads 37-26-2

Florida has won three straight meetings after going 1-7 against the Seminoles while Jimbo Fisher was in Tallahassee.

Florida State has scored 38+ points in four straight games, its longest streak since 2017. The last time the Seminoles did this in five consecutive games was 2013, the season they won the national title.

Florida Stores Closed On Thanksgiving Day

Sure cooking a bird and spending all day in the kitchen, on your feet, doesn't sound appealing to everyone.  And yes, some people would absolutely agree that shopping is more fun than cooking or cleaning.  And some people may think cooking and cleaning is more fun than family togetherness.

But, if you do happen to be one who likes to get started with your Black Friday shopping on Thanksgiving Day, be sure to check which stores will actually be open.

Several big box stores will close their doors to allow their employees to spend the holiday with family and friends, according to BlackFriday.com.

Over the years, many stores jumped on the bandwagon, and opened their doors to get the Black Friday lines going early.  This seems to be a thing of the past, from the looks of all the stores on this list that will be closed.

It's so important to allow employees the time off, especially during the holiday season.  Everyone needs a break once in a while and a chance to spend time with loved ones.    Not to mention, it shows you're thankful for them too!
