College football is three weeks away from the 2022 regular season, divisional races in leagues across the country are heating up, the picture of conference championships is getting clearer, and teams legally qualified for the college football playoffs are being announced every Saturday. It will decrease. The same is true for Week 11, with multiple Top 25 showdowns set to clarify these scenarios.
The most notable showdown comes from the SEC with No. 7 LSU hoping to take a step back from their thrilling overtime win over Alabama when they visit Arkansas. Their dominance in the SEC West is tenuous, despite suddenly becoming a national topic in their first year. LSU needs to win to secure a spot in the SEC Championship Game (likely against No. 1 Georgia).
Speaking of the No. 9 Crimson Tide, the hopes of the SEC and CFP are dashed without an absolute miracle. That’s not the case with Ole Miss, No. 11, who hosts Alabama in the SEC of CBS Game of the Week and Rebel coach Lane Kiffin is eyeing his first victory over Nick Saban. do not have. Unlike the Tide, Rebels still have a chance to win the SEC West. Ole Miss will have to beat Alabama to move up the standings, but they’ll also need LSU to get an L after the regular season.
Saturday’s nightcap is a big showdown for the Big 12. The newly created No. 4 TCU visits his No. 18 Texas for perhaps the toughest test of his last three weeks. The Longhorns have played much better in the second half of the season, and with former Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson joining the staff as an analyst, we know for sure what TCU will bring to the table. can get past the “Horns”, leaving only Baylor and Iowa State with TCU looking to a spot in the playoffs.

No. 9 Alabama at No. 11 Ole Miss
Featured games | | Ole Miss Rebels vs. Alabama Crimson Tide
3:30 p.m. | CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App — Ole Miss and points, but Rebels wins outright, so I don’t need them. A multi-dimensional Rebel rushing attack succeeds early on, drawing an Alabama defender into the box and allowing Jackson his dart to shoot. At the same time, the Ole Miss defense has enough success to put Alabama under pressure. That’s bad news for the Alabama team, who aren’t as crisp on the road. Prophecy: Olemis +12 — Barret Sally
#1 Georgia in Mississippi
Featured games | | Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Bulldogs
7 p.m. | ESPN, Hubo TV (Try it for free) – Mississippi has failed to cover the spread for three games in a row, but Georgia appears to be peaking at the most important time of the season. Georgia’s defense is performing at an even higher level than Alabama’s, and the Crimson Tide have been able to record how they have contained the Mississippi offense this year. I think the Athens-based Bulldogs can do the same. Prediction: Georgia -16 — Chip Patterson
No. 18 Texas No. 4 TCU
Featured games | | Texas Longhorns vs. TCU Horned Frogs
7:30 PM | ABC, Hubo TV (Try it for free) – The Longhorns score highly in most analytical systems thanks to their close game against Alabama and the sweeping victory of a quarterback-less Oklahoma team. However, the Longhorns also lost to Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, and the close game against Iowa State continues. His one of these teams knows how to finish the game. It’s the purple boy. Prediction: TCU +7 — Jeyaraja
No. 5 Missouri in Tennessee
Noon | CBS, CBSSports.com, CBS Sports App — Aside from a 40-12 loss to Kansas State in Week 2, Missouri has done well defensively. Even in that game, the Tigers only allowed 336 total yards on turnovers as his margin was his 4–1 deficit. His last seven games Missouri has played have ended within this spread, and the Tigers should be able to hold on to something respectable again here. Missouri is tied for 100th nationally in sales margins, but at some point it will have to reverse. If the Tigers can manage their turnover woes, the game will hold up close. Prediction: Missouri +21 — David Cobb
No. 7 LSU in Arkansas
noon | ESPN, Hubo TV (Try it for free) – A disappointing spot on the road against a talented opponent is a natural trap game opportunity, but KJ Jefferson’s status makes the chances of an upset more tenuous. LSU has played exciting football since losing to Tennessee and Florida. There is little reason to expect the team coached by Brian Kelly not to play good basic football in an important match with CFP hopes. Prediction: LSU -3 — Shehan Jeyaraja
