The college football season is almost upon us, with 11 games kicking off Aug. 30. And while more than 700 Football Bowl Subdivision games will be played this autumn, like any other season, a select few will be slated as potential Games of the Year. That said; here’s a look at the 10 regular-season games we’re most looking forward in 2007:

The number of games this transpired in is still unknown, but reports are it could be in the double digits. The unnamed ref reportedly had a gambling problem and was approached by members of organized crime to fix games to settle his debts.
