It doesn't just mean more in the SEC, but all over the college football map this week as Saturday's games kick off across the country with major implications not only for division and conference standings, but for how Championship Saturday could shake out and with the selection committee keeping a close eye on the best four teams.

  • Michigan, sans Jim Harbaugh after a surprise suspension, visits Penn State in a battle of top-10 ranked Big Ten East rivals
  • Florida State, Miami square off as Seminoles look to stay perfect against their rival
  • Missouri hosts Tennessee in matchup of ranked SEC East hopefuls
  • Georgia welcomes Ole Miss in next phase of difficult late-season stand
  • Undefeated Washington gets a test against a physical Utah defense at home

What can we make of the most important games on the schedule today? Let's lock in our final picks for the biggest matchups with help from the guys on ESPN's College GameDay.

College football Week 11 picks

Rutgers at Iowa: The Hawkeyes' defense has enough juice to shut down the Scarlet Knights and stay in the lead in the Big Ten West, GameDay's pickers concur.

Duke at North Carolina: Kirk Herbstreit was the lone voice predicting the Blue Devils will take down the Tar Heels in this classic rivalry.

Miami at Florida State: 89 percent of the fan vote is with the Seminoles, as are all the selectors on the GameDay set.

West Virginia at Oklahoma: Pat McAfee chose his alma mater to take down the Sooners while the others projected OU to end its two-game losing skid.

Arizona at Colorado: The consensus is with the newly-ranked Wildcats, fresh off beating three straight ranked opponents, to take down the Buffaloes.

USC at Oregon: A unanimous decision for the Ducks to get the better of a USC defense that, while it got rid of Alex Grinch, is still among the nation's worst.

Utah at Washington: Expect the Huskies to stay perfect, albeit in a credible test against a strong Utes defense.

Alabama at Kentucky: A strong endorsement for the Crimson Tide to take a step towards clinching the SEC West, quite a turnaround after its slow start this year.

Tennessee at Missouri: A majority vote in favor of the Volunteers to win on the road and stay at No. 2 in the SEC East ahead of their game against Georgia next week.

Michigan at Penn State: No Jim Harbaugh, no problem for the Wolverines, who earned the confidence of everyone on GameDay to take down the Lions.

Lee Corso's headgear pick: Georgia over Ole Miss
