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).
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.
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.

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.
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.

We asked industry insiders why so many hires go so spectacularly wrong and whether the mountain of buyout cash schools have committed to spending this year — including Penn State’s $49 million to James Franklin, LSU’s $54 million to Brian Kelly and Florida’s $21 to Billy Napier — will prompt a rethink in how schools evaluate coaches and hand out contracts in the player compensation era.
