Top 10 matchups and rivalry games fill the Week 11 college football schedule

As the end of the 2017 college football seasons draws closer, there are just a few weeks left for teams to make their argument for a spot in the College Football Playoff, as well as square off against some of their bitterest rivals. Week 11 will prove to have the most influence over the postseason up to this point, with several top 10 matchups and rivalry games set to be played.

This week’s slate of games you’ll want to tune into starts on Friday night, with some West Coast late-night Pac-12 action, with the No. 9 Washington Huskies vying for a spot in the CFP against Stanford. Then on Saturday, aside from the noon No. 13 Ohio State vs No. 12 Michigan State matchup, the day is filled with a lot of upset potential -- especially for teams that upset the Buckeyes.

The afternoon slate, starting at 3:30 p.m., includes Georgia (1)-Auburn (10) and Iowa (20)-Wisconsin (8). The Iowa-Wisconsin matchup should be of particular interest for Ohio State fans, with the Badgers looking like the sure-fire Big Ten West champion and likely only candidate from the conference still in the hunt for playoff spot.

Saturday’s night games are sure to be a big draw too, with Alabama (2) taking on Mississippi State (16) at 7:00 p.m., and then two primetime matchups at 8 p.m. including Notre Dame (3) vs. Miami (FL) (7) and TCU (6) vs. Oklahoma (5).

A lot of playoff hopes will be dashed after this weekend, and as a Buckeye feeling scorned -- this could be fun.

Here’s the full slate of college games this weekend and how to watch:
