Arr, me hearties! The thirteenth week o' the college football season brought naught but delight. Rivalry Week, me lads, bestowed upon us a bounty of wondrous matches and tales in the closing days o' the regular season. Yo ho ho!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, it be said that there be nothin' finer than college football. Rivalry Week, mateys, be the ultimate proof of that claim. Across the land, fans be flockin' to stadiums to witness the battles betwixt in-state rivals, wars that have been fought fer centuries, splittin' households asunder since the 19th century. The rivalries in college football be somethin' special, turnin' seemingly uneven matches into fierce competitions.Week 13 of the college football season be a grand spectacle, me hearties. Let's take a gander at what we learned from this phenomenal Rivalry Week. The game o' the year arrived with a sign-stealin' scandal that cost Michigan its captain for three games. Ohio State, ranked ahead of Michigan, sailed into Ann Arbor thinkin' they could put an end to their losin' streak against their hated foes and secure a spot in the Big Ten championship game. But the Wolverines, playin' smash-mouth football, dashed their hopes with a soul-crushin' drive in the fourth quarter. This here drive be emblematic of the past few years in the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, with the Wolverines provin' themselves to be the tougher crew.
Meanwhile, the Washington Huskies pulled off a gutsy call to beat their rival, Washington State, in a nail-biter. This victory earned them a rematch with Oregon in the Pac-12 title game, givin' them a shot at the College Football Playoff. And even Auburn, fresh off an embarrassin' loss, gave Alabama a run fer their doubloons, provin' that records mean nothin' when it comes to this fierce rivalry.
Lastly, the search for a new coach at Texas A&M was a whirlwind. After rumors circulatin' that Kentucky's Mark Stoops would take the helm, he decided to stay put, leavin' the Aggies to find another leader. They eventually chose Mike Elko, the former Duke head coach, to guide them on their quest for glory.
So, me hearties, Rivalry Week be a sight to behold, full of dramatic showdowns and unexpected twists. College football be the treasure we all seek, and Rivalry Week be the key that unlocks its true beauty.
