Oddsmakers clearly like Oregon as the Illini are the last remaining currently ranked team on Oregon’s schedule. Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel and running back Jordan James will contend with an Illinois defense that's giving up just 18 points per game and has forced 13 turnovers.
The Tigers’ chances of an upset could be tough with QB Brady Cook and leading rusher Nate Noel potentially missing the game with injuries. Former Arizona State and Notre Dame QB Drew Pyne appears in line to get the start against an Alabama team that's desperate to bounce back from its second loss of the season last week to Tennessee.
The newly ranked Commodores get the Longhorns at home three weeks after pulling off a huge upset over Alabama. Can Vandy shock the world again? A lot will depend on the play of dual-threat QB Diego Pavia, who faces a Texas team coming off an ugly loss to Georgia a week ago.
These are the only teams without an SEC loss this season, so the winner will have an inside track to the conference title game. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier has been one of the most productive QBs in the nation so far, and he'll face an A&M defense that has defended the pass very well.

Touchdown Washington
The Huskies take advantage of the turnover and trim the Hoosiers' lead down to 3 points after a TD keeper from Demond Williams Jr.
Jackson Arnold scrambled around long enough to buy his wide receiver some time and then hit Jacob Jordan for a 9-yard touchdown.
That gives Oklahoma a 14-10 lead heading into the break.

Navy misses FG
Now it's the Midshipmen missing an easy field goal just before the halftime break. It's been a weird and undisciplined game so far for Navy.

Navy muffs punt, Notre Dame scores TD
After another uncharacteristic mistake by Navy, the Irish are in the end zone yet again. It's Jeremiyah Love again, running it in from short for his second touchdown of the day.
It's 28-7 Irish.

Touchdown Ohio State!
Freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith has his first score of the game on a 60-yard deep ball from Will Howard.
Howard is a perfect 7-of-7 for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Buckeyes go up 14-3.
Jeremiah 🔥 Smith 🔥
Nobody could catch the freshman on this @OhioStateFB TD 💪
It's a moral victory for Navy as it holds the Irish to a field goal attempt after the second fumble and Notre Dame kicker Isaiah Bryant misses the mark.
It's still 14-0.

Touchdown Oklahoma
The Sooners have tied things up in Oxford on a pass from Jackson Arnold to Bauer Sharp.
It's another self-inflicted error in the backfield for Notre Dame as Blake Horvath fumbles the option exchange and puts it back on the turf. The Irish recover it.

Notre Dame recovers fumble, scores TD
The Midshipmen lost the ball on a critical mistake in the backfield by Alex Tecza and Notre Dame returned the fumble deep inside Navy territory. Three plays later, Leonard finds Chris Mitchell for a short TD pass.
Irish up 14-0 early in the first quarter.

The Irish got the ball first and it took them very little time marching down the field. This deep pass from Riley Leonard to Jaden Greathouse got the bulk of the yards before a short TD run by Leonard.
