Line through Tuesday. LAST WEEK: 5-4 straight, 7-2 vs. line. SEASON: 38-16 straight, 36-18 vs. line.
2. Auburn at 3. Mississippi State (+3)
2:30 p.m. (Ch. 11): A highly ranked team from Alabama ventures into
Mississippi. What could go wrong? Mississippi State improved nine
rankings spots after beating Texas A&M, and Dak Prescott is the
SECs hottest quarterback. The Tigers counter with a defense ranked
among the leagues top three. Miss. State 30, Auburn 28.
3. Mississippi (+3) at 14. Texas A&M
8 p.m. (ESPN): After losing to Mississippi State, the Aggies direly need
a win to stay in the SEC West race and keep their playoff hope alive.
Kyle Field will be swaying in the moonlight as the leagues highest-
scoring offense (Texas A&M, 47.8 ppg.) takes on the toughest de-
fense (Ole Miss, 10.2 ppg.). Texas A&M 35, Ole Miss 31.
9. TCU (+10) at 5. Baylor
2:30 p.m. (Ch. 8): : The Big12s biggest game will be on the banks of
the Brazos, not in Fair Park. The Frogs hopped 16 spots in the rank-
ings by beating OU. The Bears went ho-hum on UT, winning 28-7 with
defense of all things. So the stage is set for the first top-10 matchup in
Waco since 1956. Baylor 38, TCU 27.
12. Oregon at 18. UCLA (+3

2)
2:30 p.m. (Ch. 4): The potential matchup of Pac-12 undefeated teams

Oregon dropped 10 ranking spots with a 31-24 loss to Arizona. The
Bruins allowed Brett Hundley to get sacked 10 times in their loss to
Utah. Oregon 42, UCLA 34.

SATURDAYS NOTABLE GAMES
Oklahoma arrived in Fort
Worth last week with the No. 4
rankingandachance tomove past
Alabama and Oregon, which lost.
But one problem: TCU 37, OU 33.
So the Frogs and Baylor are the
Big12s only unbeatens. Keep win-
ning and make the four-team
playoff. But both cannot win Sat-
urdays top-10 showdown in Wa-
co.
The Sooners remain in the
hunt but have no margin for error.
Same with Oklahoma State and
Kansas State.
Among the power five confer-
ences and independents, heres a
breakdown after last weeks
shakeup: undefeated teams (9)
SEC 3, ACC 2, Big 12 2, Big Ten 0,
Pac-12 1, Independent 1 (Notre
Dame). One-loss teams (26)
Big Ten 7; Pac-12 7; SEC 6; Big 12
3; ACC 2; Independent 1(BYU).
Much adding and subtracting
will be done before the CFPs 13-
member committee selects the
topfour on Dec. 7.
Surprises thinned the unbeatens
UPSET SPECIAL
13. Georgia at 23. Missouri (+3)
11 a.m. (Ch. 11): The Bulldogs have won three
straight but are 2-7 in their last nine road
games and must play without suspended TB
Todd Gurley. The Tigers overcame a 13-point
deficit in the fourth quarter to beat South
Carolina, 21-20. Missouri 27, Georgia 23.
STATEMENT GAME
Duke (+3) at 22. Ga. Tech
11:30 a.m. (Ch. 21): Just because Tech is ranked
for the first time in almost three years, that
doesnt mean the Yellow Jackets are rank.

the 11th straight time. Ga. Tech 30, Duke 23.
