This Weekend's Exciting College Football Matchups: SEC Rivalries And Holy War Showdown

This weekend’s college football schedule is highlighted by two great matchups in the SEC and a Holy War out west for the late night crowd. As we gear up for an action-packed Saturday, fans are eagerly anticipating thrilling games that could impact playoff chances. The stakes couldn't be higher, with teams fighting for their postseason lives and fierce rivalries adding to the intensity of the matchups.

We start off this week with a 3:30PM kickoff Saturday (Nov. 9) on ABC, as Ole Miss welcomes in the Georgia Bulldogs. This game could be an elimination game for the playoffs, making it a must-watch for college football fans. Ole Miss is coming off a commanding victory against Arkansas, where they scored an impressive 63-31. With their high-powered offense seemingly finding its footing, they are ready to take on the second-ranked UGA Bulldogs, who are also vying to maintain their position at the top of the SEC.

As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Georgia's QB Carson Beck, who needs to improve his decision-making. With 11 interceptions this season, eight of which occurred in his last three games, his performance will be crucial for Georgia's success in this high-stakes encounter. With the atmosphere expected to be electric in the Grove, fans can look forward to an unforgettable showdown.

After the Ole Miss vs. Georgia game, we have one of the best rivalries in college football: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. LSU Tigers. Scheduled for 7:30 PM Saturday on ABC, this matchup takes place in the iconic Death Valley. Both teams are feeling the pressure, with LSU aiming to avoid a third loss this season and Alabama needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Expect a high-scoring affair as both defenses have had their struggles, but Las Vegas has set the Over/Under at 58.5, indicating a potentially lower-scoring game than fans might anticipate.

In an exciting twist, fans should keep an eye out for the real tiger returning to the stadium for the first time since 2015, thanks to recent approval from the governor of Louisiana. As the evening wraps up, the schedule features one of the great under-the-radar rivalries: “The Holy War,” where the Utah Utes will host undefeated BYU at 10:30 PM on ESPN. This game promises to be thrilling, as Utah, despite underachieving this season, still harbors playoff aspirations.

With BYU ranked in the Top 10 and looking to secure a playoff bye, the stakes are high for both teams. A Holy War, a live tiger, and a matchup between Rebels and Bulldogs? Good luck convincing me that college football isn't the greatest sport on earth!
