How bout some love for those Demon Deacons of Wake Forest! Wake Forest is having their best season in program history and look to continue that Saturday. A matchup with UNC could be a tough test for the Demon Deacons even though the Tar Heels have underperformed this season. No better way to kick off your college football Saturday than with Wake Forest football.
#13 Auburn vs. #14 Texas A&M, 3:30p.m. EST, CBS

Texas A&M has already won their Super Bowl this season with a last-second win over Alabama. A win over the other team in Alabam would be icing on the cake. The only Top 25 matchup all weekend will be between the Aggies and Tigers. This game will have huge implications on the standings in the SEC West.
LSU vs. #2 Alabama, 7:00p.m. EST., ESPN

The talk of the week has been how Alabama came in at #2 in the playoff polls. Cincinnati and Ohio State fans are dumbfounded about how the Crimson Tide could even be considered the #2 team. Whatever the case, Alabama will take the seeding and look forward to a big rival game against LSU. The Tigers aren’t the Tigers of recent years, and this one could get ugly. Either way, there’s something about these two playing that makes it a can’t miss matchup.
UTSA vs. UTEP, 10:00p.m. EST., ESPN2

The college football playoff committee has no respect for the Roadrunners of UTSA. An undefeated team who saw their hard work disrespected by not making the Top 25 as a massive game with conference standing implications. UTEP will be no slouch opponent, and UTSA will be looking to make a statement in this one.
