AP Picks: Feast of major implications for Thanksgiving

Every team in the AP Top 25 is playing this weekend in a total of 18 games. All but one of these are guaranteed to be:

A) A matchup of ranked teams.

B) A rivalry game.

C) A game with College Football Playoff implications.

D) A game with conference title implications.

E) Some combination of the above.

So this is should be a pretty great Thanksgiving weekend no matter how much you're forced to talk to your relatives.

Seven games match AP ranked teams, the most since Oct. 6, 2007.

Among the things that can or will be resolved this weekend are:

— The Big 12 title.
