Week 11 CFB Packing List

More upsets incoming? More regular season playoff elimination games? More shakeup in the college football Heisman race? Yes, count on it happening again this weekend during a parody filled College Football Season. After controversial CFP Rankings were dropped on Tuesday, how will this week shake up the rankings? Here is your weekly packing list of games to make sure to follow in Week 11.

#15 LSU vs #11 Alabama (7:30pm EST on ABC)

The historic rivalry between Bama and LSU at night in Death Valley is now essentially a playoff game with the new 12-team playoff system. This game will serve as an elimination game for the losing team when it comes to chances to make it as an at large bid as well as chances to reach SEC title game. This will be a battle of two opposites. Can LSU’s defense finally figure out how to stop a running QB in Jalen Milroe? Can Bama’s swiss cheese secondary finally cover the holes and prevent Garrett Nussmeier from slicing them up through the air? The flaws for each team is also the opponent’s strengths so something will have to break in this game. I expect there to be a lot of points scored in this matchup due to this factor and the last team to have the ball will win this game.

Best Bet: Total Points over 58.5 (-110)

#16 Ole Miss vs #3 Georgia (3:30pm EST on ABC)

Carson Beck seems to be a deer in the headlights this season surrounded by top notch talent, especially on defense, that continues to save the bulldogs from falling. Beck does just enough to win games but UGA is not the regular dominant team, week in and week out, that we are all used to. Will Beck be able to pull it together and put away Lane Kiffin and an Ole Miss team that still controls its destiny. Ole Miss has a reputation for essentially being the penn state of the SEC, where they win 8 to 10 games on a regular basis always losing to the true powers of the conference. After going all in on the transfer portal and NIL this previous offseason and a Heisman candidate QB, Jaxson Dart, does Kiffin finally have a team that can overcome the Bulldogs? With about half the team listed on the injury report as “questionable” it is hard to tell if Lane Kiffin is trolling the NCAA after being criticized for fake injuries during games or if the team is actually made of glass. Based on Lane’s history it wouldn’t shock me if all these listed players see the field this weekend, but it won’t matter. Expect the Bulldogs to roll in this one on the road and officially put Ole Miss fan’s hopes out of their misery.

Best Bet: UGA -2.5 (-112)

Texas Tech vs #20 Colorado (4pm EST on Fox)

The battle for second place in the Big 12 standings with the conference championship on the line. Texas Tech is coming off a huge win on the road against undefeated Iowa State last weekend and will look to continue the momentum at home against a Colorado team that has turned into a very strong team this year. Sanders and Hunter have built this team into a true contender for the Big 12 and for the playoffs as much as everyone hates this, and we have to respect it. I will put my hand up, after the experiment last season and only winning 4 games I expected it to happen again this season and I was very wrong. Biggest question is can they keep this momentum up? Playing on the road in Lubbock Texas is no easy task, especially against a Red Raiders team that seems to have found their stride. I expect this to be a battle but for Sanders and company to come out with the W and a lot of points to be scored in the process.

Best Bet: Total Points over 62.5 (-110)

#8 Indiana vs Michigan (3:30pm EST CBS)

We cannot skip over the second team I have now classified as a certified WAGON, in the “WINdiana” Hoosiers. Curt Cignetti has turned Indiana into a powerhouse football program in his first season as their HC. We can all agree we expected Indiana to be better under Curt but nobody can say they expected them to look unbeatable and ranked in the Top 10, with people arguing they should be top 5 which I do not disagree with. Indiana hosts the defending national champs this weekend and in a season that the Hoosiers have only trailed in one game for a short period of time, and Michigan seems to not be able to play offense, Cignetti might try to put up 100 to send a message. Expect “WINdiana” to continue to steamroll through their season as they take care of Michigan with ease.

Best Bet: Indiana -14.5 (-108)
