A lot of teams and conferences opt to go with a rivalry week for the final one. Where maybe most teams in the conference play an out-of-league rival or the conference just pits all its best rivalries at the end of the schedule. For instance, take the SEC. Almost every team in the league plays a rivalry matchup in the final week, whether that’s in-conference or out. 

Obviously, the Iron Bowl is the big one, but the Egg Bowl as well, is another in-conference rivalry. Then, schools like Kentucky and South Carolina face local out-of-league rivals. Instead, the Big 12 just has everyone in the conference playing each other — and really, none of the matchups are huge rivalries. 

Kansas-Kansas State is the obvious one. But otherwise, all of the other big rivalries are out of the way in the conference. Instead, it’s just your run-of-the-mill conference slate. But this time around, these games will not only decide the Big 12, but could also play a huge part in the College Football Playoff race with TCU sitting smack in the middle of contention.
