5. Oklahoma at Kansas State – 4:00 – FOX

Oklahoma got back on track last week with a win over rival Texas after suffering a brutal loss at the hands of Iowa State. Kansas State is looking to snap a two-game losing streak and could pose a challenge for Baker Mayfield and the Sooners if Bill Snyder is able to devise a gameplan to slow the Oklahoma passing attack. That’s easier said than done, however, and the Wildcats will have their hands full with a Sooners squad that needs to win big to impress the playoff committee.

4. LSU at Ole Miss – 7:15 – ESPN

One of the better rivalry games that no one talks about is LSU and Ole Miss. The latest chapter in this SEC rivalry sees the Tigers riding high after wins over Florida and Auburn to take some of the sting out from their stunning loss to Troy. On the other sideline, Ole Miss is coming off their best performance of the year with a 57-point outburst against Vanderbilt. Rebels quarterback Shea Patterson is a budding star and could challenge the always stout LSU secondary. Don’t sleep on Ole Miss pulling off this upset and putting a few wins together.

3. UCF at Navy – 3:30 – CBSSN

Navy is coming off their first loss of the season and will look to hand UCF their first loss of the year that would shake up the American standings and who would represent the Group of Five in a New Year’s Six bowl. UCF is one of the best stories of the year and has one of the nation’s most underrated players in quarterback MacKenzie Milton. The Knights boast one of the best offenses with more than 50 points per game so look for Navy to try to control the ball and eat the clock as they attempt to pull off the mild upset.
