Week 6

Louisville at Georgia Tech | 7 p.m. | ESPN
Saturday, Oct. 10
No. 4 Florida at No. 21 Texas A&M | 12 p.m. | ESPN
Preview: Can anyone slow down Kyle Trask? The Florida quarterback has already become one of the early Heisman favorites thanks to a ridiculous start to the season. Through two games, Trask has 684 passing yards with 10 touchdowns while completing 71.8 percent of his passes. There's a good chance he'll have another big game here, even if it's on the road.
Texas A&M has a strong quarterback of its own in Kellen Mond, but the pass defense struggled against Alabama last week: 435 yards allowed. This is the start of three tough games over the next few weeks for the Gators. Florida plays LSU next week and Georgia on Nov. 7.
No. 17 LSU at Missouri | 12 p.m. | SEC ALT
No. 22 Texas vs. Oklahoma (Dallas, Texas) | 12 p.m. | Fox
Preview: What previously looked like one of the best games of the month has now fallen apart.
Texas survived with a crazy rally at Texas Tech...before falling to TCU last week. And Oklahoma coughed up a big lead at home to Kansas State...and then lost again at Iowa State. It was OU's first loss in Ames since 1960.
The Sooners have won five consecutive Big 12 titles, but another loss would put them at 0-3 and likely out of the picture. One thing is for sure, OU will need to fix its defense to slow down Texas QB Sam Ehlinger.
No. 19 Virginia Tech at No. 8 North Carolina | 12 p.m. | ABC
Preview: The Clemson-Miami game is getting the most attention in the ACC, but this definitely matters in terms of positioning in the ACC standings. The top two teams by highest win percentage in conference games will play for the conference title.
Virginia Tech ranks third in the country in rushing yards per game at 319 yards and leads the nation with 7.0 yards per carry. Though UNC has QB Sam Howell, the Tar Heels' run defense will be what could decide things.
After two games, North Carolina is allowing only 54 rush yards per game.
Coastal Carolina at No. 23 Louisiana | 12 p.m. | ESPN2
South Carolina at Vanderbilt | 12 p.m. | SEC Network
UL Monroe at Liberty | 12 p.m. | ESPNU
NC State at Virginia | 12 p.m. | ACC Network
Duke at Syracuse | 12:30 p.m. | ESPN3
The Citadel at Army | 1:30 p.m. | CBSSN
No. 14 Tennessee at No. 3 Georgia | 3:30 p.m. | CBS
Preview: Remember those worries during Georgia's first game at Arkansas? Well, they're gone now.
The Bulldogs looked like the national title contender most people assumed they would be when they crushed then-No. 7 Auburn 27-6 last week. QB Stetson Bennett delivered with 240 passing yards and a touchdown without throwing an interception. UGA's ground game also improved from the Arkansas game, picking up 202 yards.
But now comes somewhat of an unknown. Just how good is Tennessee? Going back to last season, the Vols have won eight games in a row. But none of those have come against ranked teams. Georgia has won the last three in the series by an average of 32 points.
UTSA at No. 15 BYU | 3:30 p.m. | ESPN2
Texas State at Troy | 3:30 p.m. | ESPN3

Florida State at No. 5 Notre Dame | 7:30 p.m. | NBC
East Carolina at South Florida | 7 p.m. | ESPN+
No. 7 Miami at No. 1 Clemson | 7:30 p.m. | ABC
Preview: Here's the big one. Clemson has won every ACC title going back to 2015 and looks ready to win again in 2020. A loss won't end Clemson's hopes of winning another crown, but it would mark a notable climb for Miami.
The Hurricanes went 6-7 just last season, losing to FIU, Duke and Louisiana Tech to end the season. But thanks to wins against UAB, then-No. 18 Louisville and Florida State to open 2020, Miami is inside the top 10.
Is Miami ready for this moment? It'll be fun watching Miami QB D'Eriq King and Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence battle.
Mississippi State at Kentucky | 7:30 p.m. | SEC Network
UTEP at Louisiana Tech | 7:30 p.m. | ESPN2
