Once you\u2019re a three-star, you\u2019re always a three-star.\u201dWake Forest enters the non-conference game \u2014 more on that in a second \u2014 against North Carolina 8-0, and yet are underdogs against the Tar Heels.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re a good football team, why are people surprised?\u201d Clawson said. \u201cThis hasn\u2019t come out of nowhere. We\u2019ve been good. We\u2019ve been building. It doesn\u2019t upset me, but I just think our players deserve more credit.\u201dWhile both schools play in the ACC, Saturday\u2019s matchup will not count as a conference game, as the two schools agreed to play a non-conference series back in 2015 after seeing that they would not play each other as often in the coming years.\u00a0UNC is 4-4 after starting off the year ranked in the top 10.\u00a0No. 6 Cincinnati vs Tulsa \u2013 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2I\u2019ve found a new drum to bang after the CFP committee ranked the Bearcats No. 6 in their first ranking. Get used to hearing me tout Luke Fickell\u2019s team for the playoff.\u00a0Cincinnati will need to run the table and have teams in front of them lose in order to have a chance, but they\u2019ll need to get past a frisky Tulsa team first.\u00a0The Bearcats\u2019 No. 6 ranking can go either one of two ways: they can overlook Tulsa and lose any hope they have of becoming the first Group of Five team to make the CFP, or they can take out their anger and dominate.\u00a0\u201cFor us and the football team, it changes absolutely nothing,\u201d quarterback Desmond Ridder said of all the hoopla going on off the football field.College Gameday is in town, making the spotlight on Cincinnati ever brighter. The Bearcats could use a dominant win after struggling to put away Navy and Tulane in back-to-back weeks.\u00a0No. 14 Texas A&#038;M vs No. 13 Auburn \u2013 3:30 p.m. ET, CBSA massive showdown in the SEC West as both schools have their eyes on the SEC Championship game, though A&#038;M will need a little help to get there.\u00a0The game in College Station will be the toughest test for the Aggies since taking down No. 1 Alabama in week six, and they\u2019ll need to win these last three games in order to have a shot at the SEC West crown.\u00a0Jimbo Fisher\u2019s offense will be tasked with trying to break through Auburn\u2019s defense, which is ranked 24th in the county in points allowed per game.\u00a0\u201cI think they make great adjustments during the game,\u201d Fisher said. \u201cThey\u2019ve always done a great job on defense, and they\u2019re playing really well, playing really good in the red zone.\u201dAuburn quarterback Bo Nix is playing the best football of his career, throwing for 568 yards and completing 77% of his passes in his past two games.\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s picking his moments when he runs,\u201d Fisher said. \u201cHe knows where he\u2019s going, what he\u2019s doing with it and getting great play action because of the run game, which gets great matchups down the field for him\u2026 and he\u2019s just making really good decisions and being smart with the football.\u201d\u00a0No. 2 Alabama vs LSU \u2013 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPNThis is a game to tune into because it\u2019s a night game between two historic rivals. That doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll have to watch all four quarters.\u00a0Alabama has won nine of the last 10 games against LSU, and enter Saturday night\u2019s matchup favored by 29.5 points. But Nick Saban isn\u2019t taking the Tigers lightly, even if you chalk it up to \u201ccoach speak.\u201d\u201cThey are a very capable team, and I also think they\u2019re a very dangerous team,\u201d Saban said. \u201cAnd I think sometimes that when you hear negative things about another team that psychologically \u2013 whether it\u2019s your fans, your players, coaches or whatever, they don\u2019t have the proper respect for what you need to do to get ready to play a game like that. I think it\u2019s happened to us twice this year. Texas A&#038;M had lost two games in a row. I don\u2019t think we respected what we needed to do to beat them. And even in the Tennessee game, I thought we were flat in the first half.\u201d\u00a0The last time LSU visited Tuscaloosa, they left with a 46-41 win, snapping an 8-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide.\u00a0\u201cOh, I think they remember it,\u201d Saban said Thursday night. \u201cI remember it.\u201dOther games to watch:Purdue vs No. 3 Michigan State \u2013 3:30 p.m ET, ABCArkansas vs No. 17 Mississippi State \u2013 4:00 p.m. ET, SEC NetworkWashington vs No. 4 Oregon \u2013 7:30 p.m. ET, ABCJoe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
