Grid via FBSchedules.com, rankings are the Playoff Rankings.
Games of the Week:
#20 USC at #4 Washington. Washington is probably not the 4th best team in the nation, but they’re the 4th best undefeated team in the nation, and that’s enough for now. USC has won five in a row to climb into the playoff rankings, but 20th seems high for them too.
#24 LSU at #25 Arkansas. Two ranked SEC teams, so you’re guaranteed an entire fanbase will be utterly despondent when the game is over. If that’s not a reason to watch, then what is?
Other games of note
Texas Tech at #13 Oklahoma State. If you hate defense, this is your game. Texas Tech is 4th in the nation in scoring, Oklahoma State is 11th. It’ll be like a video game, except no one would program Mike Gundy to have mullet.
Minnesota at #19 Nebraska. Loser drops out of a three way tie for first in the Big 10’s Western division, and Minnesota could pull off the upset. The Cornhuskers have lost two in a row (to ranked teams) while the Gophers are hot, winning four in a row and scoring at least 31 points in each of those games.
