1. Penn State Nittany Lions vs Oregon Ducks - Big Ten Championship Game
This is the undefeated matchup college football fans deserve. For years, the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines have reigned supreme in the Big Ten. Now, it's the Penn State Nittany Lions' time to shine against the newcomers, Oregon Ducks.

Both teams have marquee wins to boast about, albeit maintaining their undefeated records in very different ways. Penn State has relied on its imposing defense to win games, while the Ducks have bested opponents with their elite offense.

That would pit strength against strength in what would become an instant classic. This is the dream undefeated matchup everyone should be rooting for.

5. Oregon Ducks vs Indiana Hoosiers - Big Ten Championship Game
One of two potential undefeated Big Ten matchups, assuredly, the Oregon Ducks versus Indiana Hoosiers would be a decidedly one-sided affair.

So far this season, the best team Indiana has faced is a 3-3 Maryland Terrapins squad. If they somehow manage to run the gauntlet of games against the Washington Huskies, Michigan Wolverines, and Ohio State Buckeyes, the Hoosiers could face off against the undefeated Ducks in the Big Ten Championship.

A neutral site contest does nothing to boost Indiana's chances of walking away unscathed. The Oregon faithful will drown out any semblance of Indiana fandom and cruise to victory.

4. Army Black Knights vs Navy Midshipmen - Week 16
The best Group of 5 teams aren't getting enough credit for their mastery this season. Included in the top end of that bracket are the Army Black Knights and Navy Midshipmen, who could potentially meet in Week 16 as a pair of undefeated programs.

Efficiency has been front of mind for both programs. Army and Navy are moving the ball effectively on offense, without compromising defensive structure. Moreover, neither team has taken their foot of the pedal at any point this season, making this one of the most realistic undefeated games to look forward to.

Depending on how things play out in the Mountain West Conference, a spot in the College Football Playoff could be on the line when these teams square off in Week 16, heightening the excitement for the only game on the docket.

3. Iowa State Cyclones vs BYU Cougars - Big 12 Championship Game
The Big 12 has been one of the most tightly contested conferences in college football. Still, two teams can end the season with undefeated records, setting up a potential clash over Championship Weekend.

The Iowa State Cyclones and BYU Cougars have proved their worth as undefeated teams. BYU has pulled off a pair of compelling upsets as road underdogs against perceived favorites while the Cyclones continue to trot out the nation's best defense.

The SEC, Big Ten, and ACC get the lion's share of adulation these days, but this Big 12 Championship Game would capture everyone's attention.
2. Miami Hurricanes vs Pittsburgh Panthers - ACC Championship Game
Everyone expected the Miami Hurricanes to be in this position. No one thought the Pittsburgh Panthers could pull it off, though. Yet, here we are, seven weeks into the season and the ACC Championship Game is one of the most enticing contests to look forward to.

Pittsburgh's offense has been better than advertised this season. The Panthers are averaging 34.4 points per game on nearly 450 yards. But their defense has been driving their undefeated campaign. They'll need both working at peak efficiency if they hope to escape the ACC title game as champions.

Miami has received the recognition it deserves, but it's time to pay attention to what the Panthers are doing in Pittsburgh.
