123. Week 6 big picture college football primer

The SEC Game of the Week is No. 7 Auburn Tigers vs. No. Florida Gators and the Big Ten Game of Week is No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. No. 25 Michigan State Spartans. UF quarterback Kyle Trask will have his hands full, and so will Buckeyes QB Justin Fields.
an the Pac-12 get a team into the playoff?
The conference does not have a single undefeated team left. It couldn’t even make it through the first month of football without seven teams catching an L. The selection committee has never put a two-loss team in, and Oregon feels like their best candidate with a loss to an Auburn team that still has the meat of its schedule left. But a 12-1 Oregon would have the best resume.
Is Bama a shoo-in?
No. Still have to travel to Texas A&M, get the best LSU team anyone has seen in nearly a half-decade and go to Jordan-Hare for the Iron Bowl in a game that could be squirrelly. The run defense is suspect with four true freshmen starting. But they’ve scored at least 42 points in every outing and Tagovailoa is a titan.
Is Jim Harbaugh on thin ice?
He’s got five ranked opponents left including three undefeated teams and a Notre Dame team with no margin for error. You take a loss to each of the ranked teams left and you’re the toughest 6-6 team in football. But that’s not the standard at Michigan, and Harbaugh hasn’t met it. The question for his bosses is who’re you gonna get that’s going to perform better?
Are Justin Fields and Ohio State the most complete team in college football?
Who is gonna stop this team? The toughest away game left is at Michigan. You get Michigan State, Wisconsin and Penn State at home, and you’ve done nothing but utterly soul-snatch every team you’ve faced.
No. 7 Auburn vs No. 10 Florida
UF is at full-strength with corner back C.J. Henderson and defense end Jabari Zuniga back from injury. That’s six interceptions in 27 games and 18 sacks in 39 Dan Mullen gets back. So if Auburn can go into the swamp and come out with a set of Gator shoes we have to start talking about Malzahn and the Tigers the way we’re talking about Alabama, Georgia and LSU. Auburn’s 56-23 demolition of Mississippi State is its most complete game to date following a 28-20 win against Texas A&M at Kyle Field.
Saturday marks the first top-10 matchup in The Swamp since No. 3 Florida thumped No. 9 South Carolina, 44-11, on Oct. 20, 2012.
Florida has beaten seven of the last nine top-10 teams to come into The Swamp with last year’s 27-19 win over No. 5 LSU (Oct. 6)
