College football live scores, games, updates: Alabama at Vanderbilt, Auburn at Georgia and more
Week 6 of college football features just one matchup between top 25 teams (and that didn't exactly deliver), but there's still plenty of teams on upset watch.
That’s typically how these types of weeks work. Will a team like No. 4 Tennessee get a scare at Arkansas? What about No. 8 Miami at Cal in an ACC After Dark special? We’re about to find out.
Here are the games we're keeping a close eye on Saturday. All times are Eastern and all odds are from BetMGM.
Iowa at No. 3 Ohio State
3:30 p.m. | TV: CBS | Line: Ohio State -19.5 | Total: 45.5
It’s hard to see how Iowa’s offense can keep up. But the Iowa defense is the best unit Ohio State has seen so far, and we’re excited to see how the Buckeyes look against the stingy Hawkeyes.
No. 12 Ole Miss at South Carolina
3:30 p.m. | TV: ESPN | Line: Ole Miss -9.5 | Total: 53.5
Ole Miss is looking to bounce back from an ugly 20-17 upset loss to Kentucky last week. South Carolina’s defense is just as good as the Wildcats. Ask Kentucky. The Gamecocks dominated Kentucky in a 31-6 Week 2 win. But can South Carolina's offense keep up? Stay tuned.
No. 4 Tennessee at Arkansas
7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Tennessee -13.5 | Total 58.5
Tennessee’s offense has produced the highlights so far, but the defense has given up just 28 points over four games and the defensive line has shown itself to be one of the best in the SEC. It'll be a big challenge for the Arkansas offense, which can be explosive when it’s not turning the ball over.
No. 8 Miami at Cal
10:30 p.m. | TV: ESPN | Line: Miami -10.5 | Total: 54.5
Miami’s learning what life is like in the new ACC as it heads out west to visit the Bears for a late-night kickoff in Berkeley, which is also hosting "GameDay." Can Miami and Heisman hopeful QB Cam Ward keep rolling against a feisty Cal team which is off to a 3-1 start?
