With five nights of action, Week 11 of the 2024-25 College Football season is packed with some big games that will certainly attract NCAAF fans and bettors alike.

During the week, there are some small-conference matchups that will not only impact their respective conferences, but also make or break these programs angling for a spot in the College Football Playoffs.

For example, the Northern Illinois Huskies battle the Western Michigan Broncos in a MAC showdown. Over in the AAC, the Rice Owls try to upstage the Memphis Tigers. The winners of these games will be positioned well within their conferences, but also still alive in the CFP hunt.

In addition to those small-conference battles, we also have some rivalry games that highlight Week 11’s docket. SEC rivals will clash as Alabama heads to Louisiana to take on the LSU Tigers. The biggest grudge match of the weekend is as an all-Utah battle between the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes in the Holy War. This longstanding rivalry should provide plenty of fireworks regardless of their records.

Speaking of records, the Florida State vs. Notre Dame contest could see two teams undefeated on the year. FSU has a few tough matchups before November, while this is the biggest game of the season for the Fighting Irish and their College Football Championship hopes.

Best College Football Week 11 Games

As you can see above, we’ve identified the best College Football Week 11 games. Of those matchups, there are a few that really stand out as must-watch contests:

BYU Cougars vs. Utah Utes

The first meeting of the Holy War took place in 1896. Unfortunately, there were periods when these rivals didn’t play against each other. So, this year’s game is the first matchup since 2021, and their 102nd meeting overall.

The Utah Utes lead this series with a 62-35-4 record. Yet, the Cougars won the last time that they played. The Utes are expected to be a contender in the Big 12 Conference, while BYU is predicted to finish near the bottom. So, this could end up being another victory for the Utes.

With that said, don’t count out the Cougars. This Week 11 matchup could end up being their biggest game of the year especially since they most likely won’t be going to a Bowl. Never count out the underdog in their bitterest rivalry.

Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Western Michigan Broncos

This MAC Conference matchup pits two teams who are considered to be in the upper echelon of the conference. Currently, the Western Michigan Broncos hold an advantage in this series with a 27-22 record. Yet, it’s the Northern Illinois Huskies who have had the most success in recent years.

The Huskies are 11-4 in the last 15 meetings and have won the two most recent matchups. Last year, Northern Illinois thumped the Broncos by a score of 24-0. That was just the third time that there was a shutout in this series. In fact, NIU held the Broncos scoreless in all three of those contests. Can they make it a fourth?

Rice Owls vs. Memphis Tigers

Highlighting the Friday night slate of Week 11 games, is this AAC Conference matchup between the Rice Owls and Memphis Tigers. This will be the 5th matchup between these schools. They both have won two games apiece.

Last year, the Tigers won by the score of 14 to 10. Even though the Tigers finished 10-3 last season, they barely got by the Owls. You can expect a similar intensity from Rice in this Week 11 matchup as they try to become Bowl eligible and upstage the AAC favorites.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. LSU Tigers

There was a time when this rivalry game determined which team would head to the SEC Conference title game. Unfortunately, that’s not the case this year. And, it’s hard to think of this as a real rivalry for the Crimson Tide as the LSU Tigers are 2-11 in the last 13 matchups.

With that said, Alabama has a tough slate of games before this point and anything can happen as the season progresses. It’s unclear as to how great LSU will be in 2024, but the Crimson Tide should still be in the upper echelon of the SEC.

However, they could be desperately trying to get into the SEC title game after a loss or two up to this point. LSU would love to play spoiler.

Florida State Seminoles vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

If these teams can meet in Week 11 with just one loss or less between them, then we’re looking at a massive showdown with College Football Playoff implications.

The last time they played was in 2021, the Fighting Irish was victorious. In fact, Notre Dame has won the last three meetings, but they have a 5-6 record overall in this series.

The Florida State Seminoles have plenty of tough games before Week 11. However, if they can beat Notre Dame, then it’s smooth sailing until the ACC Conference title game. In fact, they would also be one of the Top 5 schools in the country at this point.

If Notre Dame can pull off the win for a fourth straight meeting, then the Fighting Irish could cement themselves a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Well, that’s if they don’t stumble before Week 11.
