What to watch: Week 11

Friday, November 10
10:30 PM

#9 Washington at Stanford, FS1.  A loss for Stanford would seriously cripple their chance as winning the Pac-12 North, if not just outright crushing it.  Both teams need the win to keep pace with Washington State.

Saturday, November 11
Noon
#12 Michigan State at #13 Ohio State, FOX.  The battle for the lead in the Big Ten East.

Rutgers at #14 Penn State, BTN.  Rutgers is playing an elimination game, while Penn State is trying to stay on the heels of Michigan State and Ohio State.

#15 Oklahoma State at #21 Iowa State, ABC/ESPN2.  Both teams need a win to stay in the race for the Big 12.  A loss doesn't necessary eliminate them, but it would be a major setback.

#23 NC State at Boston College, ABC/ESPN2.  If NC State loses, Clemson clinches the ACC Atlantic.

3:30 PM
#20 Iowa at #8 Wisconsin, ABC.  Wisconsin can seal the Big Ten West with a win here and a Northwestern loss.  Meanwhile, Iowa needs a win to keep their slim hopes alive.

#1 Georgia at #10 Auburn, CBS.  Even though it's a cross divisional matchup, and Georgia has already clinched the SEC East, an Auburn win would set up the Iron Bowl as a winner-take-all.  If Auburn loses while Alabama wins (against Mississippi State), then it's all over.

Florida State at #4 Clemson, ESPN.  A Clemson win would seal the ACC Atlantic if NC State wins earlier.  Plus, FSU is still fighting for bowl eligibility, which is why they finally rescheduled the game originally cancelled in week 2 due to the hurricane.

UVA at Louisville, ESPNU.  A UVA loss would give Miami the ACC Coastal.

4 PM
#11 USC at Colorado, FOX.  USC clinches the Pac-12 South with a win.

7 PM

#2 Alabama at #16 Mississippi State, ESPN.  An Alabama win, along with an Auburn loss earlier in the day would give the SEC West to the Tide.  Also, it's the latest round in the Championship of Life.

8 PM
#3 Notre Dame at #7 Miami, ABC.  A non-conference game that has huge CFP and NY6 implications.

#6 TCU at #5 Oklahoma, FOX.  Currently the battle for the top spot in the Big 12.  These two primetime games will have the biggest effect on the next set of rankings.
