Texas Weekend Features Two Ranked Games
Tap title to read story
The Week eight slate includes only two top‑25 matchups, both featuring Texas schools. No. seven Ole Miss travels to No. nineteen Texas for a game that feels like a referendum for head coach Steve Sarkisian and quarterback Arch Manning. The second game pits No. fourteen Houston against No. ten Utah, a contest with Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff implications. Other notable games include No. six Indiana at Michigan, No. eighteen LSU at Auburn, and No. eleven Tennessee at South Carolina.
