World News – USA – College Football Tips: Some dishes are missing from the football festival

The Thanksgiving weekend football festival is missing some of the dishes that have become mainstays.

The pandemic changed schedules and delayed seasons have taken off the table a number of rivalry games that have become a staple of the last weekend of November, including the Michigan-Ohio state and all of those state matchups from ACC and SEC schools like Clemson South Carolina.

The Apple Cup between Washington and Washington State is canceled. The same goes for the longstanding rivalry between Minnesota and Wisconsin for Paul Bunyan’s ax. It is the first time since 1906 that the Gophers and Badgers have stopped playing.

The three-day college football weekend is still pretty rife, with the Iron Bowl between No.. 22 Auburn and No.. 1 Alabama as the main event on Saturday and two games corresponding to ranked teams on Friday with an impact on playoffs and conference titles.

No.. 2 Notre Dame (CFP No.. 2) plays at No.. 25 North Carolina in a game that could destroy the Atlantic Coast Conference’s hopes of getting two teams into the College Football Playoffs.

In the Big 12, No.. 15 Iowa State is facing No.. 20 Texas. The Cyclones get a place in the conference title game with a win. A Longhorn win complicates matters and leaves all competitors with at least two league losses on the course and head-to-head tiebreakers across the field.
