Mornin' all
Saturday
12 p.m. No. 5 Georgia at Mississippi State (ESPN) Pillow fight between Bulldogs, the refs better not cater to kirby from here on out - EVER
12 p.m. No. 7 BYU at No. 8 Texas Tech (ABC) The teams sit side by side in the College Football Playoff rankings, and this weekend's matchup will go a long way toward determining the Big 12 standings at the end of the year. The Cougars are one of just four undefeated teams remaining in college football and haven’t played a team as good as Texas Tech yet this season. Conversely, BYU is by far the Red Raiders’ best opponent of the season.
Both teams have played just one ranked opponent so far — Utah. Tech beat Utah 34-10 on the road in September, while BYU took down the Utes 24-21 at home in their rivalry game.
3:30 p.m. No. 9 Oregon at No. 20 Iowa (CBS) The Ducks hope to avoid an upset the rest of the way and stay in the CFP field in December. But could be salty by the committee's placement at 9. But the Ducks can change the committee’s perception on Saturday with a win over Iowa and remaining games against No. 19 USC and No. 23 Washington.
3:30 p.m. No. 3 Texas A&M at No. 22 Missouri (ABC) Texas A&M is the highest-ranked team in the conference, ahead of No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Georgia and No. 6 Ole Miss . The Aggies play none of those three teams this season. Asked how to quantify why Texas A&M is the best of the bunch, Aggies coach Mike Elko didn't pull any punches "we haven't lost yet"
7:30 p.m. LSU at No. 4 Alabama (ABC) The Crimson Tide are ranked 114th in FBS and 14th in the SEC with a mere 118.9 rushing yards per game. It wasn't that long ago that the likes of Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson and Derrick Henry could be counted on for more than that by themselves.
