Auburn is coming off a thrilling victory over LSU, while Georgia is coming off curb-stomping Arkansas. Georgia’s defense is one of the greatest defensive units ever to play college football. The Bulldogs haven’t given up a single point in two games and have only given up more than 10 points one time this season. Bo Nix is going to need all of his magic to make this one interesting. Jordan-Hare Stadium is the perfect place for the impossible to become possible.

The biggest matchup of the day takes place in the Big 10. A battle of two top 5 teams pits Penn State against Iowa.

Penn State leads the overall series at 17-13.

Kentucky football continues to break program barriers after defeating Florida in Lexington for the first time since the ’80s. Now the Wildcats welcome an LSU team looking for their first marquee win of the season. Nobody would have believed you if you had told fans that Kentucky would be the higher-ranked team in this matchup before the season. This week, a win for Kentucky would set the stage for a huge SEC East matchup next week against…Georgia.

A tradition unlike any other is to finish off the college football day with a bit of PAC-12 after dark. The Bruins were sitting high three weeks ago but now sit 1-2 in their last three. Arizona is searching for their first win of the season after getting throttled by Oregon last week to open their conference schedule. PAC-12 after dark is bound to give us a few moments of joy before everyone wakes up Sunday morning and sees that UCLA won by 40 plus.
