Texas Tech (4-4) at No. 7 TCU (8-0)
Texas Christian received high marks on its Big 12 road test against West Virginia last week after the unbeaten Horned Frogs sealed a 41-31 victory with a 29-yard scoring pass with 20 seconds to go.

No. 1 Tennessee (8-0) at No. 3 Georgia (8-0)
In this marquee conference showdown, the winner should take control of the SEC's East Division while all but securing a spot in the league's championship game. Georgia must face Tennessee's high-powered offense without outside linebacker Nolan Smith, who sustained a season-ending injury in the Bulldogs' win over Florida. The Volunteers enjoyed a 44-6 romp against Kentucky last week, with wide receiver Jalin Hyatt catching five passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Hyatt has a school-record 14 touchdown catches this season. Georgia is favored by 8 1/2 points.

No. 6 Alabama (7-1) at No. 10 LSU (6-2)
First place in the West Division of the SEC is at stake when Alabama travels to Baton Rouge, La., to face a resurgent Louisiana State squad under the lights. After losses to Florida State and Tennessee, first-year coach Brian Kelly has led the Tigers back to respectability and a top-10 ranking. Both teams are coming off bye weeks. LSU last played against a ranked Mississippi team and won, 45-20. The Crimson Tide stopped Mississippi State, 30-6. Alabama is favored by 12 1/2 points.

Quarterback Will Howard filled in for injured starter Adrian Martinez and threw for 296 yards and four touchdowns. After a bye week, the Longhorns will try to avoid their third conference loss after falling to Oklahoma State on Oct. 22. Texas is favored by 2 1/2 points.

California (3-5) at No. 9 USC (7-1)
After nearly a month of being away from its home field, USC returns to the Coliseum where it has yet to play a one-possession game. The Trojans, who are currently in a race with UCLA and Utah for second place in the Pac-12 Conference, are coming off a defensively shaky 45-37 road win at Arizona, where quarterback Caleb Williams passed for a career-high 411 yards and five touchdowns. The Golden Bears were overrun last week by conference leader Oregon, 42-24. USC is favored by 21 1/2 points.

UCLA bounced back from its only loss of the season at Oregon when Zach Charbonnet ran past Stanford for 198 yards and three touchdowns. UCLA is favored by 10 1/2 points.
