Top Games to Watch
No. 3 Alabama at No. 11 Ole Miss
Ole Miss has not fared well against Alabama in recent memory, as noted by ESPN Stats & Info:
However, this time can be different. Safety Cody Prewitt explained it well, via Brandon Speck of FoxSports.com:
"We understand that we haven't played a team that's going to be as good as Bama. But we don't really think Bama is as good as they have been. And we're better than we have been. We're looking forward to getting to the game plan and really nailing down all the tweaks and stuff that we're going to have to put into Bama.
"
This was not his way of taking a shot at Alabama or creating bulletin-board material, but it is true that this is Ole Miss' best chance at knocking off the Tide.
The Rebels have been great on defense this season, holding opponents to just 8.5 points per game to rank third in the nation. With senior quarterback Bo Wallace spreading the ball around, he has a chance to attack the Alabama defense in ways few others have done in the past.
The Tide allowed 21 points to a struggling Florida offense, so it's clear this unit can be beaten.
Still, the game will likely come down to turnovers. Wallace has already thrown six interceptions this year, something he has gotten away with so far but will not against an elite opponent. If he can take better care of the football, though, Ole Miss should be able to put points on the scoreboard.
With a relatively inexperienced offense trying to deal with the screaming fans in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, there is certainly potential for an upset.
No. 14 Stanford at No. 9 Notre Dame
While there are a number of other big-time matchups, including various SEC battles and Oklahoma going on the road against TCU, the game between Stanford and Notre Dame could end up being the most important for the entire country.
It will be extremely difficult for the committee to decide which teams are the four best at the end of the season, mostly because it is tough to judge the conferences against one another. The good news is Notre Dame is here to bring everyone together.
With multiple opponents in the Big Ten, the Pac-12 and the ACC on the schedule, the Irish can help judge how the conferences stack up against one another. For example, a dominant win over Stanford on Saturday followed by a blowout loss at the hands of Florida State in a few weeks could seriously hurt the Pac-12's standing, especially if the Cardinal play well in conference.
However, Stanford has a chance to carry its entire conference with a strong performance, and it can do that with the No. 1 scoring defense in the country. The unit was elite last season but lost many key players. Still, Dave Fleming of ESPN believes it is even better:
Everett Golson has played well this season, but he will face a serious challenge in the upcoming game. If he struggles, this could end up being an easy win for the Cardinal.
