The stage is set for another chaotic Saturday of college football as the final weekend of October is sure to bring more dramatic finishes, upsets and consequential results. As the season barrels on, conference title races are heating up, as is the competition for entry into the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff.
Given the playoff’s expansion, there are CFP implications in virtually every game involving teams ranked inside the AP Top 25 this week, and the action begins early. No. 12 Notre Dame and No. 24 Navy are tangling in the early window, as are Nebraska and No. 4 Ohio State. Can No. 13 Indiana keep its unbeaten start going? That will also be determined as the Hoosiers host Washington.
The afternoon slate is headlined by a top-20 Big Ten battle on CBS as No. 1 Oregon hosts No. 20 Illinois. At the same time, No. 15 Alabama will be looking to get back on track as it hosts No. 21 Missouri. Finally, the evening slate is highlighted by a top-15 SEC showdown between No. 8 LSU and No. 14 Texas A&M as both teams look to remain unbeaten in league play.
