Mitchell Northam | NCAA.com | November 8, 2019 College football Week 11 preview: Top games, what to watch, rankings 5 college football games to watch in Week 11 Share The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season were released earlier this week, so the stakes are higher and things are about to get serious heading into Week 11. There are a handful of games on tap this week that could have major implications on the playoff picture. Let's take a look. College football Week 11 preview: Top games *Rankings are from the College Football Playoff Top 25 No. 2 LSU at No. 3 Alabama | 3:30 p.m. ET | CBS There is no debate for who gets the "game of the week" designation on Saturday. It's LSU at Alabama. Both teams are undefeated, both teams are equipped with Heisman contenders at quarterback and both are ranked inside the top three of the AP, Coaches and CFP polls. The winner of this game will be in the driver's seat to represent the West in the SEC title game. The Tigers haven't beaten the Crimson Tide since 2011. No. 4 Penn State at No. 17 Minnesota | Noon ET | ABC This is the game-of-the-week runner-up and a big one for the Big Ten. Both teams are undefeated, but this is Minnesota's biggest test of the season. If the Gophers can pull off the upset at home, they would likely leap over a few teams in the next rankings and throw a wrench in Penn State's plans. If the Nittany Lions win, it could improve their resume and further cement their place in the playoff picture. No. 18 Iowa at No. 13 Wisconsin | 4 p.m. ET | FOX The third game this weekend between two ranked teams is another Big Ten affair, with the Hawkeyes traveling to face the Badgers. This could be a low-scoring game as both sides have top defenses. The Hawkeyes are third in scoring defense, allowing 10.1 points per-game and Wisconsin is just behind at fourth, allowing 11.4 points per-game. Wisconsin has won three straight games vs. Iowa. No. 5 Clemson at N.C. State | 7:30 p.m. ET | ABC N.C. State isn't a strong team this season, but because Clemson is on the outside of the top four for the College Football Playoff, the Tigers likely need to win every game from here on out. N.C. State isn't a pushover though. The Wolfpack are 4-4 this season and undefeated at home. And with just four games left, the Wolfpack are fighting for bowl eligibility. Wyoming at No. 22 Boise State | 10:15 p.m. ET | ESPN The American Athletic Conference seems to be in the lead to grab the Group of Five bid to the Cotton Bowl, but if its four ranked teams all beat up each other over the next month and Boise State wins out, it will have a case to steal the NY6 bid for the Mountain West. This week, the Broncos have a tough test in hosting the Cowboys for a late-night matchup. Wyoming is 6-2 this season and has a win over Missouri of the SEC.

An LSU player hasn't won the Heisman since Billy Cannon took home the trophy in 1959, but Burrow has the chance to end that drought and could improve his resume with a strong performance on the road this week in Tuscaloosa. Burrow is third in the nation in passing efficiency, second in passing touchdowns, 21st in passing yards per-completion and second in passing yards. His impressive play from the pocket is a big reason why LSU has had an explosive offense this season. But Alabama, with the ninth best defense in the nation, presents a challenge. Burrow has already beaten Texas, Florida and Auburn this season. If he can add a fourth win over a top 10 team, he might be the favorite to take home college football's highest individual honor.
