College Football Week 11 Picks: Playoff Contenders Face Key Tests
Following a week of carnage in college football—which saw Tennessee, Alabama and Clemson all lose and shake up the Playoff race—the stakes remain high in Week 11.
The nation is down to four undefeated FBS teams, with one of them getting a major road test on Saturday. No. 4 TCU will travel to No. 18 Texas (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC), where the Horned Frogs are seven-point underdogs. Another unbeaten team, Georgia, heads to Starkville to take on 6–3 Mississippi State (7 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Other top games with Playoff implications: surging No. 6 Oregon will host No. 25 Washington (7 p.m. ET, Fox); No. 7 LSU will pay a tricky visit to Arkansas (noon ET, ESPN); and Lane Kiffin and No. 11 Ole Miss will welcome in Nick Saban and No. 8 Alabama (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS). The Crimson Tide’s CFP hopes are already slim, and a loss Saturday would certainly knock them out for good.
