Will we be at a game determining a berth in a league title game? Or a game with two teams trying to get their first win of the season in Week 7?

The disparity in what's at stake in the games of this week's AnnArbor.com "Game of the Week" poll is large, and which game comes out on top depends on your vote.

Dearborn Divine Child at Father Gabriel Richard leads our poll as of 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, with 171 votes, followed closely by Dexter at Ypsilanti, with 150 votes. River Rouge at Willow Run has 50 votes, East Jackson at Manchester has 31 votes and Whitmore Lake at Ottawa Lake-Whiteford has 19 votes.

Voting closes at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Gabriel Richard enters the game with a berth in the Prep Bowl, the Catholic League AA's Week 9 title game, on the line. A win would earn the Irish a rematch against Pontiac Notre Dame Prep. Gabriel Richard lost the first game between the two teams, 28-16.

Dexter and Ypsilanti both enter Friday's matchup at 0-6 on the year. And somebody has to win, right?

This week's poll features teams that haven't been featured in a Game of the Week. As a result, we've got a collection of programs that have smaller fanbases or are having tough seasons.

And after a slow start to our polling, votes have nearly doubled in the last 24 hours.

Game of the Week coverage:

AnnArbor.com will give the Game of the Week winner its Super Bowl treatment, which will include two reporters covering the game, a live chat that you can follow from your iPhone or Android device, and a photo gallery as well.
