Week 11 was supposed to be an SEC showcase and instead the ACC has the nation’s attention.
No. 4 Miami has been playing with fire all season and the Hurricanes finally got burned after a late fumble doomed their comeback attempt at Georgia Tech.
But the only two games featuring ranked teams both come in the SEC and also serve as elimination games for both the SEC championship and the College Football Playoff. No. 3 Georgia visits No. 16 Ole Miss in the afternoon before No. 11 Alabama takes on No. 14 LSU.
Here’s what we’ll be keeping an eye on late Saturday.
Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Alabama -3 | Total: 58.5
The loser is assuredly out of the College Football Playoff race with a third loss barring a wild finish to the season. Will LSU’s defense be able to hold up against dual-threat Alabama QB Jalen Milroe? Alabama will need to have much more composure than it did in its last road game. The Crimson Tide have been penalized 69 times through eight games. The crowd at night in Tiger Stadium won’t make things easy.
Time: 10:15 p.m. ET | TV: ESPN | Line: BYU -4 | Total: 40.5
The two heated rivals meet for the first time since 2021 and the first time as Big 12 members. Utah is in desperate need of a win after losing its last four Big 12 games, and the Utes would love to spoil BYU’s perfect season. The Cougars’ ability to force turnovers is a big reason for their 8-0 record. Can they keep it up this week in the Holy War?
