The Texas Longhorns look very close to breaking through. After a brutal loss in their opener to Maryland, Tom Herman has made sure this team has been competitive in every other game so far this season.

The Georgia Bulldogs are one of five undefeated teams left in the nation. Georgia should be ranked No. 2 in the country when the first College Football Playoff rankings come out on Tuesday and it’s hard to argue with its credentials. Now, they are looking to keep the pedal to the metal when the South Carolina Gamecocks come to town.This matchup in Week 10 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, November 4, 2017, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia.

This is the game that the LSU Tigers’ coaching staff has been waiting for all year. The inability of Les Miles to beat Alabama was one of the biggest reasons behind his eventual dismissal and Ed Orgeron put a plan in place to make sure that didn’t happen to him. Orgeron copied the blueprint laid out by Dabo Swinney at Clemson and kept defensive coordinator Dave Aranda on staff and brought in offensive guru Matt Canada to run the offense.... 

Typically, the Big Ten noon slot is a snoozer. The television networks decide to give us two of the more uninteresting games on the schedule and put the marquee game later on in the day. This week is an exception to that.... 

The Western Michigan Broncos keep finding ways to win games. Although they lost to Akron two weeks ago, this team is on the cusp of bowl eligibility in their first year without the fiery PJ Fleck. They will be facing another MAC West team looking to go to a bowl game Wednesday night when they take on another directional school in the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Chips have been an enigmatic squad this season with some big wins and some head scratching losses.This matchup in Week 10 of the regular season will take place on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, at 8 p.m. ET at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

One of the longest running series in college football will resume on Halloween in Athens. The Ohio Bobcats are looking for their first ever MAC title under Frank Solich. Solich has taken this team to the title game four times during his long tenure, but the Bobcats keep falling short against whichever MAC West opponent they play.

The Navy Midshipmen are looking to get back on track after two tough losses knocked them out of the race for a spot in the AAC Championship Game. Navy is sitting at 5-2 and still should finish with a winning record yet again, but that might be in jeopardy if the Midshipmen lose to the Temple Owls this week. Navy’s next three games are against SMU, Notre Dame, and Houston, and there is a good chance it could lose all three.This matchup in Week 10 of the regular season will take place on Thursday, November 2, 2017, at 8 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This game will be broadcast on ESPN.... 

The UCLA Bruins have their backs against the wall. People are jumping off the bandwagon after another awful defensive performance and this team is in real trouble of missing out on a bowl game yet again at 4-4. Now, they have to travel to one of the toughest places to play in the PAC 12 and take on a Utah Utes team that has something to prove. Utah is 4-4 as well and has lost four in a row since starting the season undefeated.This matchup in Week 10 of the regular season will take place on Friday, November 3, 2017, at 9:30 p.m. ET at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. This game will be broadcast on FS1.... 

The Nittany Lions are one of the few undefeated teams remaining in college football and if they remain that way after this matchup they will be on the short list of national championship favorites. However, the road setting is not ideal and the Buckeyes are actually a sizable favorite to take care of business despite their inferior record.Ohio State can’t afford to let this game slip and they have found a good rhythm over the past few weeks to get back on a roll after an early-season loss at the hands of Oklahoma.... 

Even so, Notre Dame is ranked higher at No. 9 and has only lost one game itself. The Fighting Irish is the home team in this matchup and will be the favorite. Both teams are angling for the College Football Playoff and the loser may be eliminated from contention while the winner will be setting themselves up nicely for the stretch run.This is a game with huge implications and North Carolina State would love to keep bucking the odds with an upset win in South Bend.... 

South Florida is tied with UCF atop the American East standings and wants to stay there.

Georgia’s 7-0 start has vaulted it to the No. 3 ranking while Florida is sitting at .500 as it struggles to put up points on a consistent basis.

Everything looked so promising at one time for the San Diego State Aztecs. The Aztecs won six straight games to start the season and scored big wins against Arizona State and Stanford to shoot up the rankings and look like the mid-major to beat for a spot in a New Year’s Eve bowl. However, things have fallen apart in the last two weeks as the offense has struggled to score points against both Boise State and Fresno State in two double-digit losses. Now, the Aztecs must leave the mainland and head to the islands to take on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 11:15 p.m. ET at Aloha Stadium in Halawa, Hawaii This game will be broadcast on ESPN2.... 

The Wisconsin Badgers appear to be one of the best teams in the country. Wisconsin is one of a handful of undefeated teams left at this point of the season, thanks to a very underwhelming schedule. The Badgers toughest opponent all year may have been a decent Florida Atlantic team that is currently ripping through Conference USA. That easy slate will continue this week when they travel to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. It’s hard to consider that any other Big Ten team is worse than Illinois after a home loss to Rutgers and Lovie Smith may be out of a job soon.... 

The Oklahoma State Cowboys know what they need to do to win football games. Oklahoma State is an offense first team that needs to score in order to feel confident about its chances for success in a game. The Cowboys have the best offense in the country and have won shootouts all throughout Mike Gundy’s tenure in Stillwater. This week, OSU will travel east to face a team that has given them trouble with their brand of football. The West Virginia Mountaineers have constantly reinvented themselves under coach Dana Holgorsen and have one of the best offenses in the country too.... 

The Washington State Cougars are still in control of their own destiny in the PAC-12 North, but face a tricky test when they head into the desert on Saturday night. The Arizona Wildcats have looked rejuvenated since Khalil Tate took over for Brandon Dawkins as the team’s starting quarterback, and have now scored at least 45 points in winning three straight shootouts. They will have to be wary against the Cougars, who are very comfortable with high-scoring games.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 9:30 p.m. ET at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. This game will be broadcast on PAC-12 Network.... 

Things are falling apart for the USC Trojans. USC was most people’s choice to win the PAC-12 at the start of the year and Sam Darnold was hailed as a future No. 1 draft pick. However, both Darnold and the Trojans have fallen woefully short of expectations. They have only played two complete games all season and last week’s loss to Notre Dame essentially takes them out of the playoff picture. Now, they have to travel to Tempe for a tough test against Todd Graham’s Arizona State Sun Devils.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 10:45 p.m. ET at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.

The Oklahoma Sooners have no margin for error. After a stunning loss to Iowa State, the Sooners still should control their own destiny in their pursuit for the College Football Playoff thanks to an early season win over Ohio State in Columbus. However, you don’t get many weeks off in the Big 12 and the Sooners will be tested this week by a Texas Tech Red Raiders squad that pushed them to the brink in a high scoring shootout last year in Lubbock.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 8 p.m. ET at OU Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. This game will be broadcast on ESPN2.... 

The Miami Hurricanes have the inside track in the ACC Coastal and are about to enter the toughest stretch of their schedule. The Hurricanes are undefeated and have looked good through the first half of their season, but the best team that they played was a Georgia Tech team that lost to Tennessee during that time. This week the task is to not suffer a letdown before big games against Virginia Tech and Notre Dame when they take on the North Carolina Tar Heels.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 12 p.m. ET at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

At long last, Chris Petersen’s prayers have been answered. Petersen has been upset that his Washington Huskies have not been given earlier time slots all season long. The Huskies have typically been the late-night game du jour and that has meant that East Coast writers haven’t watched too much of Washington football. This week, the Huskies should be ready to show off with a 3:30 p.m. Eastern kickoff time for the first time all season. Now they need to make sure to take care of business against the UCLA Bruins.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington This game will be broadcast on ESPN2....

The Baylor Bears are still looking for their first win of the season. Baylor came painstakingly close to pulling even with West Virginia near the end of regulation last week thanks to a torrid comeback, but a two-point conversion attempt failed and led to a 38-36 loss for the Bears. Still, it was the most encouraging showing yet from the Bears who have been toothless in many of their outings, including a 59-16 beatdown at the hands of Oklahoma State the week prior. Tom Herman and the Texas Longhorns are going to try to keep from falling victim to the Bears this week.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 12 p.m. ET at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas. This game will be broadcast on ESPNU.... 

If you thought that the Stanford Cardinal were going to collapse after a 1-2 start, you haven’t paid much attention to David Shaw. Stanford dropped back-to-back road games against USC and San Diego State, but has won four in a row and controls its own destiny in the PAC-12 North. The last time we saw the Cardinal, they absolutely demolished Oregon 49-7 in their best defensive performance of the season. This Thursday night Stanford’s biggest opponent may be complacency as it faces an Oregon State team that has yet to defeat an FBS team.This matchup in Week 8 of the regular season will take place on Thursday, October 26, 2017, at 9 p.m. ET at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon. This game will be broadcast on ESPN.... 

It’s time for the Clemson Tigers to rally. Clemson is still ranked in the top ten and shouldn’t have a problem making the College Football Playoff as long as it wins out. The Tigers did it last year after losing to Pittsburgh near the tail end of the season and ended up winning the national championship. However, their next three games will test their resolve. They will face three totally different teams starting with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and their option attack.This matchup in Week 9 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at 8 p.m. ET at Clemson Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina. This game will be broadcast on ABC....
