COLLEGE FOOTBALL: What To Watch In Week 11

It’s been a wild ten weeks of the college football season. With crowds once again packing stadiums following the pandemic-impacted 2020 season, we’ve been treated to more ranked teams losing than ever before, and constant movement in the top-25.

And the real fun starts on Saturday.

The next four weeks will determine which teams will be playing in the College Football Playoff, and the massively important week eleven slate of games kicks off the fun.

There are four ranked games on the schedule, and upset potential can be seen throughout the day.

Let’s take a look at which games to watch in week eleven of the college football season.

Penn State vs No. 6 Michigan – 12:00 p.m. ET, ABC

The Big 10 is still up for grabs, with both Michigan and Michigan State sitting one game back of Ohio State in the Big 10 standings, and both teams will play the Buckeyes by the end of the year.

No. 13 Baylor vs No. 8 Oklahoma – 12:00 p.m. ET, FOX

More than likely the biggest matchup of the day, Oklahoma is in search of a marquee win, and beating Baylor in Waco would count as one.

Coming off their bye week, Oklahoma is 9-0 and sits at No. 8 in the CFP rankings, but have struggled with the lesser teams on their schedule. The Sooners offense has improved since freshman quarterback Caleb Williams took over for Spencer Rattler during the Texas game, throwing for 14 touchdowns and just one interception since getting the nod at QB.

“The quarterback has injected their offense with some firepower,” Baylor coach
