Two of the SEC’s premier programs collide in Athens as the Texas Longhorns visit the Georgia Bulldogs with playoff positioning in play. Georgia enters with an 8-1 record and sits fifth in the CFP rankings, while Texas rides a four-game winning streak behind the sharpest stretch of quarterback play Arch Manning has produced all season. The winner strengthens its SEC Championship path and keeps realistic access to the top four. Texas has rebounded from an early-season slide, including a damaging loss to Florida, with steely offense and improved protection. Manning is coming off back-to-back 300-yard performances against Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, showing decisiveness and accuracy that were missing during early road tests. The Longhorns have rebuilt their identity around rhythm

Texas A&M is 9-0 and No. 3 in the CFP, and Mike Elko has spent the week reminding his team that South Carolina beat the Aggies 44-20 last season. That message has shaped preparation for Saturday. The Aggies rolled Missouri 38-17 behind 221 passing yards from Marcel Reed and 102 rushing yards from Rueben Owens II. Their defense held Missouri to 77 passing yards and continues to rank among the best pressure units in the country. Reed has thrown at least two touchdowns in seven of nine games and sits top 25 in total offense. Texas A&M is 6-0 in SEC play for the first time since joining the conference. South Carolina is 3-6 and deep into a brutal run

The Penn State Nittany Lions and Michigan State Spartans began the year 3-0 but have spiraled into the bottom tier of the Big Ten. Their matchup in University Park offers both teams a realistic chance to stabilize momentum and keep bowl eligibility hopes alive — at least mathematically. Penn State enters the week still dealing with the aftermath of coaching turnover and injuries. The dismissal of James Franklin and the loss of quarterback Drew Allar to a season-ending ankle injury have reshaped the offense. Still, the Nittany Lions pushed No. 2 Indiana to the limit last weekend, showcasing renewed energy behind interim

The Oklahoma State Cowboys return to Stillwater seeking their first FBS win since Week 0, entering with a 1-8 record and a roster stretched thin by attrition. The Cowboys have been one of the least productive power-conference teams this season, ranking near the bottom nationally in total offense, scoring offense, and passing defense. Their most recent outing — a 38-21 loss at Kansas — showed flashes of improved quarterback play but continued issues in explosive-play prevention and drive sustainability. Kansas State, meanwhile, arrives at 4-5 and clinging to bowl hopes. The Kansas State Wildcats have been hit hard by injuries, most notably losing All-Big 12 linebacker Austin Romaine for the season. Coach Chris Klieman acknowledged that roster limitations have forced
