After one of the more upset-filled Saturdays in the 2024 college football season, Week 11 may bring another chaotic slate.

Last weekend, five Top 25 programs lost while playing an unranked team. The upcoming schedule has 22 ranked teams in action, and 18 of them are taking on—you guessed it—an unranked opponent.

Whose championship dreams will take a hit next?

Otherwise, the marquee games of Week 11 are within the SEC: Georgia heads to Ole Miss, and Alabama plays at LSU.

As always, we've offered a brief preview of each Top 25 matchup with a prediction for every game involving an FBS team.

AP Nos. 25-21

No. 25 Louisville (6-3), Idle

South Carolina (5-3) at No. 24 Vanderbilt (6-3), 4:15 p.m. ET

Through a postseason lens, this is a big game! The winner probably gets a more prestigious bowl placement within the SEC. Vanderbilt's lone setback at home is opposite Texas, yet the 'Dores fell by only three. At least I picked South Carolina last week, right? Home-field advantage mattered there, and it can swing in Vandy's favor here.

Prediction: Vanderbilt 24, South Carolina 20

Virginia (4-4) at No. 23 Pitt (7-1), 8 p.m. ET

The gauntlet continues for Virginia, which started 4-2 but is currently in a six-game stretch that includes five ranked teams. And so far, the Cavaliers are 0-3. While it's plausible Pitt is reeling after a terribly lopsided loss at SMU, one disaster should not derail the Panthers.

Prediction: Pitt 30, Virginia 23

No. 22 Kansas State (7-2), Idle

No. 21 Colorado (6-2) at Texas Tech (6-3), 4 p.m. ET

How believable is Colorado's defensive rise? The truth will be a decisive factor in whether CU takes advantage of its suddenly favorable path to the Big 12 Championship Game. Texas Tech is a good, not great, offense—so a good defense can handle this road trip. That's on Colorado to prove.

Prediction: Colorado 33, Texas Tech 27

AP Nos. 20-16

Utah State (2-6) at No. 20 Washington State (7-1), 10:30 p.m. ET

On the bright side, Utah State snapped a six-game slide with a victory at Wyoming two weeks ago. However, the visitors may otherwise be allergic to defense. They are second-worst nationally with 41.5 points allowed per game. Not a promising sign.

Prediction: Washington State 45, Utah State 28

No. 19 Clemson (6-2) at Virginia Tech (5-4), 3:30 p.m. ET

If the hosts are without quarterback Kyron Drones, the upset chances drop considerably. While backup Collin Schlee has a decent bit of experience, he'll be facing what's typically been a stout defense. Clemson needs to bounce back after the loss to Louisville, but I'm not selling my stock following one (very bad) performance.

Prediction: Clemson 27, Virginia Tech 20

No. 18 Army (8-0) at North Texas (5-3), 3:30 p.m. ET

Similarly, the status of Army QB Bryson Daily is a key story. He missed last weekend's win over Air Force, but the margin for error is thinner at North Texas. Since comments from Army coach Jeff Monken are at least trending positively, the Cadets should be able to outlast a productive UNT offense.

Prediction: Army 31, North Texas 24

No. 17 Iowa State (7-1) at Kansas (2-6), 3:30 p.m. ET

Gone is the unbeaten record, but Iowa State's hopes of a Big 12 championship are still alive. Kansas has played five one-possession games this season, so a close finish is a logical expectation despite what the records may suggest. I want to give you a well-explained prediction. Also, I cannot. This is strictly a gut feeling that I may regret.

Prediction: Kansas 26, Iowa State 23

No. 2 Georgia (7-1) at No. 16 Ole Miss (7-2), 3:30 p.m. ET

For prediction, see No. 2 Georgia.

AP Nos. 15-11

No. 15 Texas A&M (7-2), Idle

No. 13 SMU (8-1), Idle

Nevada (3-7) at No. 12 Boise State (7-1), 8 p.m. ET

Keep it simple, right? Boise State relies heavily on running back Ashton Jeanty, and Nevada is 93rd nationally with 4.6 yards allowed per carry. It seems like a straightforward path for the Broncos at home.

Prediction: Boise State 42, Nevada 20

No. 11 Alabama (6-2) at No. 14 LSU (6-2). 7:30 p.m. ET

Will the loser be eliminated from the Playoff race? That's a fair question to ask, even if the answer is more "yes" for LSU than Alabama. (Just look at the initial CFP rankings for that reasoning.) The result probably hinges on whichever offense does a better job protecting the ball, and that's pretty much a toss-up based on the last month. I'll take LSU in a tight one at home and be unsurprised if Bama wins.

Prediction: LSU 26, Alabama 23

AP Nos. 10-6

Florida State (1-8) at No. 10 Notre Dame (7-1), 7:30 p.m. ET

Initially circled on the calendar as a crucial late-season matchup, this has instead become an expected rout. Florida State has trudged to 14.4 points per game—the second-worst mark in the country—while Notre Dame is fourth nationally at 12.1 points allowed per outing.

Prediction: Notre Dame 42, Florida State 10

No. 9 BYU (8-0) at Utah (4-4), 10:15 p.m. ET

In a lost season, Utah would absolutely love to ruin BYU's perfect season. And, hey, the defense is good enough for it. During a four-game losing skid, however, Utah hasn't scored more than 19 points. Tough to see an upset happening unless that changes.

Prediction: BYU 23, Utah 16

Michigan (5-4) at No. 8 Indiana (9-0), 3:30 p.m. ET

This is an interesting game for Indiana. Looking solely at individual talent, Michigan is the best opponent of the Hoosiers' year so far. Indiana should win handily anyway, given the combination of IU's defensive strength and the struggles of U-M's offense. But will the pressure of the moment be a factor? Indiana can break a program record in wins...against the reigning national champion...as a showdown at Ohio State—potentially at 10-0—looms for IU. That's a lot!

Prediction: Indiana 34, Michigan 17

Mississippi State (2-7) at No. 7 Tennessee (7-1), 7 p.m. ET

The good news for Tennessee is the defense keeps thriving. The bad news is, since SEC play began, the offense has struggled to find explosive plays. Mississippi State has surrendered the most gains of 20-plus yards, so this is a "get-right" opportunity the Vols desperately need before a showdown at Georgia.

Prediction: Tennessee 42, Mississippi State 21

Washington (5-4) at No. 6 Penn State (7-1), 8 p.m. ET

Back across the country, one final time. Unfortunately for UW, the long trips haven't gone as hoped in 2024. Washington has already fallen at Rutgers, Iowa and Indiana, and Penn State is the best of the bunch. At least it's not a noon ET kickoff for the visitors?

Prediction: Penn State 27, Washington 17

AP Nos. 5-1

Florida (4-4) at No. 5 Texas (7-1), Noon ET

Likely down to third-string quarterback Aidan Warner, Florida would need a miracle. It's tough to have a less welcoming introduction to college football than being an injury replacement against Georgia and making your first career start opposite this Texas defense.

Prediction: Texas 34, Florida 10

No. 4 Miami (9-0) at Georgia Tech (5-4), Noon ET

Either way, I'm taking Miami. But if Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King returns from injury, this is yet another thorny opponent for the Hurricanes. They've been mediocre on defense for the better part of a month, and King—at his best—is a productive dual-threat QB. He's a game-time decision, according to Tech coach Brent Key.

Prediction: Miami 37, Georgia Tech 30

Purdue (1-7) at No. 3 Ohio State (7-1), Noon ET

The reality is Purdue just doesn't have enough solutions on offense. Save for an outlier performance at Illinois, the Boilermakers haven't surpassed 337 yards or 21 points in Big Ten action. Anything is possible, sure, but Ohio State is fifth nationally in yards allowed per play.

Prediction: Ohio State 48, Purdue 14

No. 2 Georgia (7-1) at No. 16 Ole Miss (7-2), 3:30 p.m. ET

Because of Georgia's recent success—as in recent years—you could be forgiven for immediately saying UGA wins. Carson Beck, though, is trying to shake a pretty terrible two-game stretch. He tossed three interceptions in both victories over Texas and Florida. I'm inclined to believe he will, but the warning signs are undeniably there.

Prediction: Georgia 27, Ole Miss 20

Maryland (4-4) at No. 1 Oregon (9-0), 7 p.m. ET

Oregon, on the other hand, has been cruising and should continue doing so. Cross-country trips, as expected, have become a glaring issue in the Big Ten, and Maryland is a hefty underdog anyway.

Prediction: Oregon 41, Maryland 21
