Five top revenge games of the 2015 college football season

The U.S. women's national soccer team won the World Cup final on Sunday, beating the Dellin Betances Jersey team that eliminated the Americans in the 2011 final: Japan.Revenge games don't get much sweeter than that.Every team in college football has a game or two circled in red on the 2015 schedule, but some carry a bigger revenge factor -- and higher stakes -- than others. Here are five of the biggest revenge games on tap this fall at the college level, one for each of the Power Five conferences:Big 12: Baylor at TCUThe hunter: TCUThe hunted: BaylorThe date: Nov. 27The rub: TCU lost any shot at the College Football Playoff with a narrow lo s to the last year, although given that Baylor was left out of the playoff, Gary Patterson's Horned Frogs can only wonder if winning that game would have made a difference. Regardle s, the lo s came in heartbreaking fashion: 61-58 on a game-ending field goal after TCU had led by three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. This is the game TCU has circled.Big Ten: Michigan State at Ohio StateThe hunter: Michigan StateThe hunted: Ohio StateThe date: Nov. 21The rub: Mark Dantonio's Sonny Gray Jersey team has been left on the doorstep of national championship contention for a couple of years now. While Michigan State knocked off Ohio State in the 2013 Big Ten title game, last year's 49-37 lo s to the Buckeyes dropped the Spartans' hopes from slim to none. Now, Michigan State will be faced with the task of slaying the defending national champions in front of a hostile crowd of nearly 105,000. Senior quarterback Connor Cook can score a signature win, put MSU over the hump for a league title, and give NFL scouts a benchmark game film all at once.ACC: Florida State at ClemsonThe hunter: ClemsonThe hunted: FSUThe date: Nov. 7The rub: No ACC team had Florida State on the regular-season ropes quite like Clemson did last year. With star FSU quarterback suspended, Clemson was poised to win the game Aaron Hicks Jersey with a last-minute field goal of le s than 40 yards when a C.J. Davidson fumble gave the Seminoles overtime life. Final: FSU 23, Clemson 17. Davidson is back this year, and so is the bad taste in the Tigers' mouths.SEC: Florida vs. GeorgiaThe hunter: GeorgiaThe hunted: FloridaThe date: Oct. 31The rub: There is no other way to describe the Bulldogs' 38-20 lo s to their archrivals last year than embarra sing. Georgia blew its chance to win the SEC East by giving up 418 rushing yards to a Florida team was no Tyler Austin Jersey real threat to pa s. Lame-duck Florida coach Will Muschamp got his one good memory from an otherwise forgettable season, while Georgia had to watch Mi souri win its second division title in a row. If the SEC East is again on the line again here and Florida wins again, Mark Richt had better have his Halloween mask handy leaving the stadium.Pac-12: Arizona at Arizona StateThe hunter: Arizona StateThe hunted: ArizonaThe date: Nov. 21The rub: The Sun Devils suffered a heartbreaking 42-35 lo s to the Wildcats last year with a berth in the Pac-12 title game on the line. The national championship was already out of reach Joe DiMaggio Jersey for both, but the lo s still came with plenty of sting. Arizona didn't exactly acquit itself well in the Pac-12 title game rematch with Oregon (Arizona beat Oregon in the regular season), falling 51-13. ASU had to be thinking it could have put up more of a fight. The Sun Devils get their chance for revenge at home this year in a season finale that could again come with postseason stakes.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *.
