The college football season is winding down, and there still is a lot left to be decided in how the playoff race will shake out. This week features just two matchups between ranked teams, which means we could see some upsets on the last Saturday in October.
#3 Ole Miss at #24 LSU (7:15 P.M. ET)
Not often is LSU an underdog in their home stadium, but tonight that is the case. LSU will try to run the ball against a #6 ranked Ole Miss run defense, which could shape up to be a 49ers vs. Seahawks smashmouth type game. Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace will have a big say in how this game goes. Wallace has put together a great season thus far in the nations toughest conference. Wallace has thrown for 1,899 yards with 17 touchdowns and six interceptions. I've been impressed with how fast he's been going through his progressions and getting rid of the ball quickly. Under LSU head coach Les Miles, LSU is 45-4 at home in night games. Good luck Ole Miss.
#20 USC at #19 Utah (10:00 P.M. ET)
Things didn't start off well for USC this season under new head coach Steve Sarkisian, but it looks like the Trojans are finally gelling. Last week USC quarterback Cody Kessler set a school record throwing seven touchdowns against Colorado. On the year, Kessler has been highly efficient, throwing for 18 touchdowns with just one interception. USC can run the rock with the best of them as well, as their running back Javorius Allen leads the PAC-12 with 909 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. If Utah wins this game, they will have to pressure Kessler heavily, and they have the personnel to do it. Utah leads the entire nation in sacks with 33, and Utes defensive end Nate Orchard is second overall with 10.5 sacks.
