With five weeks of the college football season in the books, the cream of the sport is starting to rise to the top. That includes both familiar faces and ones most didn’t see coming. A few months ago, everyone circled Oct. 8 for the Alabama–Texas A&M (and Jimbo Fisher–Nick Saban) showdown it featured. Yet here we are, and College GameDay is going to a surprise battle of Big 12 unbeatens instead.
Leading Saturday’s noon slate is that TCU-Kansas clash (FS1), but it also features another top-25 matchup in Tennessee-LSU (ESPN) plus the annual Red River Shootout in Dallas between Texas and Oklahoma (ABC). The Longhorns are reportedly getting talented QB Quinn Ewers back, while the Sooners are looking to avoid a third straight loss.
