Has there been a week in the college football season that hasn't been at least a little bit crazy? Week 6 feels like it will pale in comparison to what we saw in Week 5 when there were three games pitting Top 10 teams against each other, but when you look at this docket, you'll see five of the Top 6 teams in America going on the road, and that doesn't even include the Top 15 battle in the SEC between a pair of undefeated teams.

Games of the Week
Tennessee at Texas AM – Saturday 3:30 p.m. ET
Our Games of the Week are all about the SEC this week, as this is the first of two Top 25 battles on the docket in one of the top conferences in America. The Volunteers have been living dangerous these last couple weeks, beating Georgia and Florida after falling behind by three scores to both teams. Grit and tenacity go a long way though, and there's something to be said about a battle-tested team.
Of course, Tennessee still has a long way to go in the SEC to be a legitimate National Championship contender, but winning this game would go a long way in cementing that even if next week's game with Alabama is lost by a country mile.
The Aggies though, won't go quietly. They're undefeated as well, though most probably don't even realize that fact. They've been under the radar for sure, but what you'll be impressed with most isn't Trevor Knight at quarterback. It's a defense that made Josh Rosen look like a chump in Week 1 and has been dominant at the point of attack on the line of scrimmage ever since. Trust us on this much: If Texas AM gets up three scores in this game, it isn't letting the Vols back in it. There's a reason why the Aggies are -5 in front of the 12th Man.
Alabama at Arkansas – Saturday 7 p.m. ET
If you're going to make a statement in the SEC, the best way to do it is to beat Alabama. It's a dead sin for Arkansas that it was beaten by Texas AM a couple weeks ago on the road by three TDs, or this would probably be a Top 10, maybe even a Top 5 showdown and would have gotten more notoriety.
Make no mistake about this fact: The Hogs can play. They can run the ball and play defense, and that's what you need to do in order to beat Alabama.
Still, the Crimson Tide are two TD favorites, even on the road. They've mauled most of their foes this year, and even if they didn't cover last week against Kentucky, it's hard to argue with a 34-6 victory in a conference game. This stretch for the Tide though, is brutal, as they have to play Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas AM and LSU in four consecutive games, three of which are coming on the road. There's a really good chance they get tripped up once along the way, and this could be the day.
