College football games today: Week 11 schedule for Thursday

All times Eastern

Virginia at No. 11 Louisville
Thurs., Nov. 9 | 7:30 p.m. | ESPN
Line: Louisville -20.5
FPI pick: Louisville 92.1% to win

The game: Sitting second in the ACC at 8-1 overall and 5-1 in conference play, the Cardinals are No. 11 in the College Football Playoff rankings and very close to clinching a spot in the league title game against the Seminoles. UL is 2nd in the ACC in total defense and lines up against a Cavalier squad that's 106th in rushing and 116th in scoring defense, but 5 of Virginia's losses have come by 4 or fewer points.

Southern Miss at Louisiana
Thurs., Nov. 9 | 7:30 p.m. | ESPNU
Line: UL -10
FPI pick: UL 81.3% to win

The game: Wins have been hard to come by for the Golden Eagles, who have just two on the year and are 1-5 in Sun Belt games, sitting second from the bottom in the division, ranking 127th nationally in scoring defense and 95th in points per game. Louisiana has a shot to move to .500 in conference and have an edge running the ball, where it ranks 21st in FBS at almost 198 yards per game.
