Week 10 of the college football season brings a slate of high-stakes matchups that could shake up the College Football Playoff picture, with five top-25 teams facing upset alerts according to CBS Sports analysis.
No. 2 Georgia at No. 10 Ole Miss
Georgia travels to Ole Miss as a 3.5-point underdog. The Bulldogs' offense has cooled after a 5-0 start, averaging just 21.3 points over their last three games against Alabama, Auburn, and Florida. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has torched Georgia in both career starts, and a Rebels win would reopen SEC Championship scenarios.
No. 3 Utah vs. No. 9 BYU
Utah hosts BYU in a pivotal Big 12 clash. The Utes are projected conference champions, but BYU has won three straight in the rivalry. A Cougars victory would put them in the driver's seat for the conference title and a potential top-4 CFP seed.
No. 8 UCLA at Minnesota
UCLA faces cross-country travel and an early 12 p.m. ET kickoff at Minnesota. The Golden Gophers nearly upset Indiana last week and beat Iowa in Week 8. Both teams rely on defense, making the first to 20 points a likely winner.
No. 7 Texas at No. 18 Missouri
Texas, banged up with injuries to key starters including Hollywood Smothers and Trevor Goosby, faces a Missouri team with a plus-8 turnover margin. The Longhorns have played five single-possession games this season and need to avoid mistakes against a Tigers squad that thrives on takeaways.
No. 12 Ohio State vs. No. 23 Oregon
Ohio State looks to rebound from a loss at USC with freshman quarterback Luke Fahey making his second start. Oregon, a dangerous three-loss team with wins over Boise State and USC, has bettors moving the line from 9.5 to near a touchdown. Ohio State's defense has slipped in several Big Ten categories, and the Buckeyes are just 6-4 in their last 10 games under Ryan Day.
