The Indiana Hoosiers travel to University Park on Saturday to face the Penn State Nittany Lions in a Big Ten showdown that carries drastically different stakes for each side. Indiana (9–0, 6–0 Big Ten) enters Week 11 ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff standings, just behind Ohio State. The Hoosiers have silenced every critic on their way to an undefeated start, including decisive wins over Illinois (63–10) and Oregon (30–20). Their explosive offense and physical defense have propelled them into the national spotlight — but now the challenge is maintaining focus against a struggling opponent.

The Georgia Bulldogs hit the road Saturday for an early SEC showdown against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville. No. 5 Georgia (7–1, 5–1 SEC) enters the game riding a four-game win streak and remains firmly in the College Football Playoff hunt after edging Florida 24–20 last week.

North Carolina (3–5, 1–3 ACC) snapped a four-game skid last week with a 27–10 win over Syracuse. The Tar Heels leaned on their defense and freshman running back Demon June, who posted his second 100-yard rushing performance in three games.

The TCU Horned Frogs enter a crucial November stretch with their Big 12 Championship hopes still alive, starting with Saturday’s matchup against the Iowa State Cyclones at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. TCU (6–2, 3–2 Big 12) has regained momentum with a two-game winning streak and remains perfect at home this season (4–0). Coach Sonny Dykes’ team has improved defensively and continues to lean on one of the conference’s most dynamic passing attacks. With several key matchups ahead, the Horned Frogs know every win counts if they hope to return to the conference title game. Iowa State (5–4, 2–4 Big 12) has been sliding in recent weeks after a 5–0 start but has stayed competitive, with three of
