SWAC
- Alabama A&M vs. Alabama State (Magic City Classic in Birmingham, AL) | 3:30 p.m. | ESPN3

Watch for...
- Jackson State will be without Coach Prime for a second-consecutive week when they meet a dangerous Mississippi Valley State team! The leadership of Shedeur Sanders, James Houston, Aubrey Miller Jr., and Warren Newman will be necessary to notch the W in the Delta!
- MAGIC CITY CLASSIC!!! Bama A&M vs. Bama State offers fans a great in-state rivalry. Through out the records, this is for bragging rights!
- FAMU's Homecoming welcomes from Grambling State. The Tigers seek to upset the Rattlers and put a dent in their FCS postseason plans.
- Big LT Mark Evans and his fellow UAPB Golden Lions travel south to meet the TSU in H-Town!
Projected Winners: Jackson State, Alabama A&M, Texas Southern, Alcorn State, FAMU
I wouldn't be too surprised if Southern wins at home. Kobe Dillon is a beast on the ground for SU. Although, I am not sure if the Jags defense can contain Felix Harper.
