Last week there were only three games between ranked opponents, two of which didn't seem to draw a lot of attention: No. 17 Texas Tech 34, Utah 10; and No. 19 Indiana demolishing No. 9 Illinois 63-10. The only one that was entertaining featured No. 11 Oklahoma edging No. 22 Auburn 24-17, and the difference was arguably the Sooners benefitting from a horrible non-call that was the talk of college football until Oklahoma State fired Mike Gundy.

Yes, the SEC admitted that the officials made a mistake, and Auburn fans do have a good reason to be upset about the player who scored a long touchdown had made it look like he was going off the field in a substitution, but the point here for our purposes is that in comparison this week's slate of games appears to be a lot better even though Florida, Oklahoma and Texas are all on a bye.

That goes for SEC and college football in general even though there are only four games overall between ranked opponents.

Two of them are in the SEC, LSU at Ole Miss and Alabama at Georgia. Either could be called the game of the week, along with No. 6 Oregon at No. 3 Penn State for a White Out. Forget the other one, No. 21 USC at No. 23 Illinois, because let's face it there's no way the Illini should still be in the AP Top 25.

However, check out the storylines with some of the other games:

• Notre Dame will be hearing the "Woo Pig Sooie" hog call at Arkansas. That's worth turning on just for the optics.

• How will Auburn react to its Oklahoma loss, now having to play at Kyle Field, one of the toughest venues in college football. Last year's game against Texas A&M went four overtimes.

• Tennessee at 3-1 is visiting ... 4-0 Mississippi State? Yep, that's not a typo. Auburn and Mississippi State were the top two vote getters among teams out of the AP Top 25 (so that's 10 ranked teams in the SEC plus the next two).

That's a good slate of games, with Brian Kelly against Lane Kiffin in the middle of the day, and another Alabama vs. Georgia showdown in the evening. That's fun day of football.
