At noon, Clemson will host SC State while #2 FSU travels to #10 Louisville. The Seminoles had two key defensive players suffer knee injuries this past week and will be without Safety Derwin James for the game. Additionally, Josh Sweat will be playing through injury if he able to go on Saturday. It’s a shame this game isn’t at night as those traveling to Clemson will miss the biggest ACC regular season game that doesn’t involve the Tigers.
Make it to a TV by 3:30 and you’ll see #1 Alabama headed to Oxford, MS. Can Hugh Freeze beat Nick Saban for the third consecutive year? It seems hard to believe, but they’ll have a shot if Alabama’s rushing attack continues to lack dominance. Fortunately for Alabama, #19 Ole Miss hasn’t been able to run the ball much themselves, or at least they haven’t been willing to try (241 rushing yards compared to 532 passing yards on the season). I’m sure Saban and the Crimson Tide have had this one circled on the calendar since the pre-season. With LSU disappointing early, this could be their biggest test outside of a trip to Neyland Stadium.
Finally, at 7:30 #14 Oklahoma will host #3 Ohio State. The Buckeyes are young and inexperienced, but have looked stellar this year and are road favorites. A loss for Oklahoma and they could be out of the playoff race after week 3. Ohio State will try to prove they are truly a top 3 team worthy of remaining above Clemson.
