Such will hold true again in Week 11 with multiple top-25 face-offs set to clarify these circumstances.
The most notable showdowns originate from the SEC where No. 7 LSU wishes to avoid taking a step back from its thrilling overtime win versus Alabama when it goes to Arkansas. Despite the Tigers unexpectedly ending up being the talk of the country in Year 1 under coach Brian Kelly, their grip on the SEC West is rare. LSU will require to triumph to protect an area in the SEC National championship (most likely against No. 1 Georgia), and that begins by preventing a roadway disturbed against an Arkansas group that can play up to anyone.
Speaking of the No. 9 Crimson Tide, barring an absolute wonder, their SEC and CFP hopes are dashed. That is not the case for No. 11 Ole Miss, which hosts Alabama in the SEC on CBS Video Game of the Week with Rebels coach Lane Kiffin seeking to get his very first win over Nick Saban. Unlike the Tide, the Rebels still take a crack at to win the SEC West. Ole Miss will need to beat Alabama to put itself in position, though it will likewise need LSU to take an L as the routine season concludes.
Saturday’s nightcap is a big Big 12 showdown as newly minted No. 4 TCU sees No. 18 Texas in perhaps its toughest remaining test over the last three weeks. The Longhorns have been playing much better in the second half of the season, and with former Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson on staff as an expert, they will definitely have a handle on what TCU brings to the table. If the Frogs can get past the ‘Horns, just Baylor and Iowa State remain as TCU eyes a spot in the playoff.

Odds by means of Caesars Sportsbook|All times Eastern
No. 1 Georgia at Mississippi State
Included Video game|Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Bulldogs
7 p.m.|ESPN, fuboTV (Pursue free )– Mississippi State has failed to cover the spread in three straight video games while Georgia appears to be hitting its peak here in the most fundamental part of the season. Georgia’s defense has actually carried out at an even greater level than Alabama’s, and the Crimson Tide had the ability to put on tape the method to shut this year’s Mississippi State offense down. I believe the Athens-based Bulldogs will be able to do the exact same. Forecast: Georgia -16– Chip Patterson
No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas
Featured Game|Texas Longhorns vs. TCU Horned Frogs
7:30 p.m.|ABC, fuboTV(Pursue complimentary )– The Longhorns rate well in a lot of analytic systems thanks to a close game versus Alabama and a blowout of a quarterback-less Oklahoma team. Nevertheless, the Longhorns also have losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, along with a close game against Iowa State.

No. 9 Alabama at No. 11 Ole Miss
Featured Game|Ole Miss Rebels vs. Alabama Crimson Tide
3:30 p.m.|CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App– Take Ole Miss and the points, however you won’t require them because the Rebels are winning this one outright. The multi-dimensional Rebels rushing attack will have success early, draw Alabama defenders into package, and Jaxson Dart will strike shots over the top. At the very same time, the Ole Miss defense will have adequate success getting pressure that it will put Alabama behind the sticks. That’s bad news for an Alabama group that has not been crisp on the roadway. Prediction: Ole Miss +12 — Barrett Sallee
Missouri at No. 5 Tennessee
Included Game|Tennessee Volunteers vs. Missouri Tigers
Noon|CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App– Aside from a confounding 40-12 loss at Kansas State in Week 2, Missouri has actually been excellent defensively. Even in that game, the Tigers enabled simply 336 overall lawns as they were obstructed by a 4-to-1 deficit in turnover margin. The last 7 video games Missouri has played have actually ended up within the confines of this spread, and the Tigers ought to be able to keep things respectable once again here. Missouri is connected for 100th nationally in turnover margin, however that needs to turn eventually. If the Tigers keep their turnover troubles under control, they’ll keep the video game close. Prediction: Missouri +21 — David Cobb
No. 7 LSU at Arkansas
Included Game|Arkansas Razorbacks vs. LSU Tigers
Noon|ESPN, fuboTV (Try for free)– A disappointment spot on the road against a gifted challenger is a natural trap video game opportunity, but the status of K.J. Jefferson makes the upset chance more rare. LSU has played inspired football considering that its early losses to Tennessee and Florida State, and there’s little factor to expect a Brian Kelly coached team to not play good, fundamental football in an important video game with CFP hopes. Prediction: LSU -3– Shehan Jeyarajah
