Two matchups involving teams in the top 10 bring major conference and College Football Playoff implications.
No. 1 Clemson visits No. 4 Notre Dame in an ACC conference game that could the first of two meetings this year. All-America quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to be at the game but won’t play due a positive COVID-19 test. That leaves true freshman D.J. Uiagaleiei to lead the team in his first road start. He looked impressive last week, though this will be a different challenge. The Irish defense is formidable and will try to shake him up.
From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.
The SEC East race should become clearer with No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Florida meeting in their annual Jacksonville clash. Both have one loss to West opponents, and the winner has the inside track to reaching the conference championship game. The Bulldogs look to have the edge on defense, but questions surround quarterback Stetson Bennett and his ability to win this kind of game. The Gators will counter with Kyle Trask, who has thrown for 18 touchdowns in four games.
