Every game means the world. A loss last night and USCe is toast (albiet a longshot) for a national title and a win last night and Florida is still in the hunt (even with how idiotic our OC is) for a national title.
Games mean something in CFB and unlike the NFL, one or two or even 3 or 4 losses doesn't mean squat to the owner or the players as long as they are in the playoffs they are still in the hunt for the championship. Nothing like having a team that won only half it's games winning the Superbowl...

Bang on.
Here's a pretty good comparison of the NCAA and the NFL:
Defending National Champs Alabama loses - major shake-up in the college football world
Defending Super Bowl Champs New Orleans loses - shrug of the shoulders, call it a bad game and get ready for the next 11 weeks.
