SALT LAKE CITY — It's time for another weekend of college football, so let's look at the Week 11 slate of picks.
It's rivalry week for two in-state teams as No. 9 BYU travels to a hostile Rice-Eccles Stadium looking to maintain its undefeated streak against a Utah team that has underperformed to expectations this season. But the rivalry game is anything but predictable, so choose wisely.
(Remember, the rivalry game is worth 100 points this week!)
Outside of that, Utah State returns to action with a difficult road test to Pullman in the late game against Washington State. The Cougars have momentum on their side and have the capability to put up a lot of points. The Aggies, too, can put up some points, so it becomes a battle for the best defense.
There's also a ranked-vs.-ranked rivalry game between Alabama and LSU in what is likely an elimination game for the College Football Playoff. The Crimson Tide have been great at times this year, but going into Death Valley is no small feat.
We also have a ranked Iowa State team looking to shake off its first loss of the season in a road contest against a Kansas team that has also underperformed to its preseason expectations. The Cyclones, on paper, are the better team, but Kansas has started to put things together a bit — and they're at home.
And lastly, we have another ranked-vs.-ranked SEC matchup. No. 3 Georgia travels to Oxford to take on a high-powered offensive machine in No. 16 Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have a chance to showcase supremacy in the SEC, but Lane Kiffin is looking to unseat the powers that be.
It's an entertaining weekend of college football.
