The Pittsburgh Panthers will look to keep their four-game winning streak alive when they visit the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday in Palo Alto. Riding a surge in offensive production, the Panthers are positioning themselves as legitimate contenders for a spot in the ACC Championship Game.

The Arkansas Razorbacks and Mississippi State Bulldogs both enter Saturday’s matchup searching for their first Southeastern Conference victory of the season — and a much-needed sense of direction. Arkansas (2-6, 0-4 SEC) has lost six straight games and remains winless under interim head coach Bobby Petrino, who replaced Sam Pittman on Sept. 28. The Razorbacks were in position to win last week before collapsing late in a 33-24 home loss to Auburn. Mississippi State (4-4, 0-4 SEC) also squandered a late lead in Week 9, blowing a 31-14 advantage in the fourth quarter before falling 45-38 in overtime to Texas.
