Here's our five high school football Games to Watch for Week 10 in Bucks County
And then there was one.
As in there's one game left in the regular season.
For some teams, this week will wrap up their seasons. For others still fighting to reach the district playoffs, this week is a must-win.
So, what are the best games of Week 10? Here's our top five Games of the Week.
Take a look:
Central Bucks East (4-5) at Central Bucks West (9-0), 7 p.m.
The Patriots, currently seeded 18th in the PIAA District One Class 6A rankings, need a win here and some help elsewhere to get in since only the top 16 teams reach the tournament.
Central Bucks East is coming off a 28-27 loss to Neshaminy last week, its third loss in its last four games.
The Bucks have won five straight games over their rivals, including a regular-season win and a district playoff win in consecutive weeks a year ago when CB West, seeded 11th, reached the district title game before falling to Garnet Valley.
The Bucks, who can win the CB Cup (a trophy which goes to the Central Bucks team that beats the other two) with a victory, handed Central Bucks South its first loss last week by a 40-29 score.
A win here for CB West would secure the Bucks the top seed in the upcoming district tournament and home-field advantage throughout.
Neshaminy (4-5) at Pennsbury (4-5), 7 p.m.
There's always plenty on the line when these longtime rivals tee it up, but there's even a bit more this season when they meet for the 93rd time.
Neshaminy holds the 16th, and final, spot in the PIAA District One Class 6A tournament rankings while the Falcons sit at 17.
And while strange things can happen when the final power points are added up after this weekend's games to determine the district field, this game is likely "Win and you're in. Lose and you're out."
Last week, Neshaminy, which leads the all-time series with Pennsbury 43-42-7, edged Central Bucks East 28-27 while the Falcons upended Abington 41-14.
The Falcons topped Neshaminy 35-0 a year ago.
Council Rock South (6-3) at Council Rock North (2-7), 7 p.m.
The Golden Hawks, 10th in the District One Class 6A tournament rankings and hoping to move into the top eight in order to host a first-round game, are also hoping to snap a three-game losing streak against their rival.
Council Rock South comes into this game after blanking Bensalem 24-0 last week.
Council Rock North, which leads 11-10 in the all-time series with the Golden Hawks, fell to Hatboro-Horsham 21-7 last week.
A year ago, North edged the Golden Hawks 21-20 to win the Unity Cup, given to the winner of this game each year.

Upper Dublin (6-3) at Quakertown (5-4), 7 p.m.
Both of these teams have plenty to play for in this one.
Upper Dublin, the defending PIAA District One Class 5A champion, is seeded seventh in the rankings and wants to stay in the top eight or even move into the top four with a victory.
Last week, the Flying Cardinals lost 31-6 to unbeaten Souderton.
Quakertown, which is 11th in the the District One Class 6A rankings, would love to jump into the top eight and earn a home first-round game with a win in this spot.
Last week, the Panthers blanked Harry S. Truman 49-0.
Upper Dublin topped Quakertown 38-8 last season.
Pennridge (3-6) at Central Bucks South (8-1), 7 p.m.
The Rams won't make the PIAA District One Class 6A playoffs as three one-point losses crushed their postseason hopes, but Pennridge still has a game after this one as it will host rival Quakertown on Thanksgiving morning.
Last week, the Rams were edged 17-16 by North Penn.
As for the Titans, they suffered their first loss of the season last week, 40-29, to unbeaten Central Bucks West.
That defeat dropped them to sixth in the latest district rankings. A win here could push them a little higher, perhaps into a top-four spot.
Last year, the Titans beat the Rams 32-23.
