Alabama at Wisconsin – 11:00 – Fox
Not expecting much from the Badgers in this one but it’s still intriguing. Will Alabama figure out their offense after Todd Orlando flummoxed them for three quarters?

LSU at South Carolina – 11:00 – ABC
GameDay game. South Carolina looked decent and the fun battle in this one will be the SC D-Line versus the LSU O-line.

Boston College at Missouri – 11:45 – SEC Network
This is a ranked game and it’s Missouri’s first game against a team with a pulse this year… maybe?

North Texas at Texas Tech – 11:00 – FS1
There’s a clear difference in quality from the three above games and this one, though it’ll be interesting to see if Eric Morris can get one over his old school, or if Texas Tech can play anything resembling defense.

Memphis at Florida State – 11:00 – ESPN
FSU should win this game but we’ve said that the last three weeks and a 0-3 Noles team would set the internet on fire. DJU is terrible.

Oklahoma State at Tulsa – 11:00 – ESPN2
Only because Okie State has sleep-walked through these types of games before and I don’t think Michigan will falter against Arkansas State at 11 on BTN

AFTERNOON
Texas A&M at Florida – 2:30 – ABC
Texas A&M looks for their first road win in three years and Florida looks to see if DJ Lagway can save them from even more misery. Seat’s already on fire in Gainesville and it wouldn’t get much better if Billy Napier loses this game. Meanwhile, winning in the Swamp is tough and it would be a good thing for Mike Elko and probably Conner Weigman to get on track with this one.

Washington State vs. Washington – 2:30 – Peacock
Took this one out of “best of streaming” because it’s a real deal rivalry. Stinks it’s in Seattle at the Seahawks Stadium instead of in a home venue but that might help the Cougars in this case. Like with the Civil War to come, lots of emotion here.

Notre Dame at Purdue – 2:30 – CBS
Interesting in-state matchup. What happens with Riley Leonard? Can the Irish defense slow down Hudson Card?

WVU at Pitt – 2:30 – ESPN2
Big rivalry. Teams hate each other. Both, yes both, are playing good offense.

Tulane at Oklahoma – 2:30 – ESPN
The Oklahoma offense has had ISSUES this year and Tulane is no get right game. However, the Oklahoma defense has been stout and that’ll probably be a big problem for the Green Wave. Not a sleepwalk game for OU.

Nevada at Minnesota – 2:30 – BTN
A game Jeff Choate’s crew might be able to win

Oregon at Oregon State – 2:30 – Fox
Don’t let the Boise scoreboard fool you, the Oregon offense has not been particularly impressive. Oregon State may not be able to exploit that, but they have hate on their side.

NIGHT/LATE NIGHT
Ole Miss at Wake Forest – 5:30 – The CW
Like with Mizzou, this is Ole Miss’s first game against a Power Conference opponent so it’s just proof of concept.

[UTSA at Texas will have it’s own separate thread]

Air Force at Baylor – FS1 – 6:30
Dave’s fortunes would not be good if he lost this one to the troops. The Bears lost a beatdown to Air Force in a cold bowl in Fort Worth a few years ago, it’d be best not to let that happen again.

Georgia at Kentucky – 6:30 – ABC
Don’t look away.

Colorado at Colorado State – 6:30 – CBS
Prime gets the PrimeTime treatment in Fort Collins. This was a grudge match last year but I doubt the Ram defense can do much to stop the CU offense. Could get pointsy, though.

Indiana at UCLA – 6:30 – NBC
Conference game!

UCF at TCU – 6:30 – Fox
This one should be a barnburner but the Knights need to figure out how to get KJ Jefferson going along with that rushing attack.
