When you consider that a single loss can make it almost impossible for a team to make the college football playoffs, at least for one more season, every game is important. Of course, things will not be quite as drastic once we move to a 12-team playoff format, but that is not happening just yet. The same rules are in play for the coming season, and while every game is big in its own right, some are just that much bigger than others. Let’s take a look at 10 games that look huge for the 2023 season, so you can bet against the college football odds.
Ten NCAA Football games with the highest stakes in 2023 | NCAA Football Lines by MyBookie
LSU Vs Florida State
When: September 3
These two teams delivered a great matchup last season, and we are hoping for more of the same this time around. Both teams are on the rise and a big win early in the season could deliver a jolt of confidence that could spur the winner forward and into a potential playoff race, although there will still be a lot to do to get to that point.

Texas Vs Alabama
When: September 9
We will see a bit of a shuffle next season, with Oklahoma and Texas both departing the Big 12 to move to the SEC. This game will serve as a bit of a litmus test for the Longhorns as they go against one of the best teams in the SEC.

Colorado Vs Colorado State
When: September 16
This is not the most glamorous matchup of the bunch but hear me out. We are all waiting to see what Deion Sanders will do in his first year as head coach of the Buffaloes, and while the expectation is that his team will struggle, a win in this rivalry game could get the fans on his side early.

Ohio State Vs Notre Dame
When: September 23
If Notre Dame are to get back into the playoff conversation, they need to win their big games this season, of which they have several. Games against USC and Clemson are also huge, but this seems to be the biggest of the bunch.

Texas Vs Oklahoma
When: October 7
The Red River Showdown is always one that football fans have circled on their calendar, but given that this will be the final meeting between these teams in the Big 12, this one somehow feels bigger than usual.

Michigan Vs Michigan State
When: October 21
There will be bigger fish to fry for both teams, one of which we will get into in a moment, but this is always one of the best matchups in the college football season. It’s one of the critical games in the battle for the Big Ten.

UCLA Vs USC
When: November 18
The USC Trojans had a very decent first season under head coach Lincoln Riley and more is expected this season, with the playoffs considered a possibility. If they are to get there, this rivalry game is a must win.

Georgia Vs Tennessee
When: November 18
It would have been easy to pick the Georgia/Florida game as one of the biggies, but I think that in terms of the SEC East, this is a much bigger game for the 2-time defending National Champions.

Ohio State Vs Michigan
When: November 25
One of these two teams will almost certainly win their division and head to the Conference Championship Game, but who will rule the Big Ten? This game may well decide which team moves on.

Auburn Vs Alabama
When: November 25
Will the Crimson Tide continue their dominance in the SEC West, or can some other team wrestle away control? None of that matters in this game, as winning the Iron Bowl transcends everything else for a lot of fans.
