Will we see some big upsets this week? Here’s how to watch college football in Week 11, and here are the best games on the slate (scroll for live updates).
No. 7 BYU at No. 8 Texas Tech
Noon ET, ABC
The Cougars are one of just four undefeated teams remaining in college football and haven’t played a team as good as Texas Tech. Conversely, BYU is by far the Red Raiders’ best opponent of the season. This game has huge Big 12 and CFP implications.
No. 3 Texas A&M at No. 22 Missouri
3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
The Aggies are tied with Alabama atop the SEC at 5-0 and could still take another step toward earning a spot in the SEC title game with a win Saturday. The task could be easier than it looked against Missouri with true freshman QB Matt Zollers making his first career start for the Tigers.

No. 9 Oregon at No. 20 Iowa
3:30 p.m. ET, CBS
The Hawkeyes were a relatively surprising inclusion in the first set of CFP rankings. Oregon, meanwhile, was three spots lower than it is in the AP poll, likely due to a lack of quality wins so far. The Ducks haven’t beaten a ranked team yet, but they can help change the committee’s perception on Saturday.
LSU at No. 4 Alabama
7:30 p.m. ET, ABC
It’s the Tigers’ first game under interim coach Frank Wilson after the firing of Brian Kelly. Can an LSU offense that has failed to live up to expectations keep up with Alabama’s and not turn the ball over? If not, Alabama will continue its march toward the SEC title game.

Wisconsin will not be searching for a new football coach after the 2025 season.
Athletic director Chris McIntosh told ESPN that Luke Fickell would be retained next season as the program invests more around him. Fickell is in his third full season with the Badgers as Wisconsin is 0-5 in Big Ten play and 2-6 overall in 2025.
