Week 11 is upon us and we are firmly into the nitty gritty of the CFB season. The first CFP poll is out and playoff contenders and dark horses are now fully into focus.

This will be played out in Iowa City on Saturday, with No. 20 Iowa playing host to No.9 Oregon. Can the Hawkeyes put a dent in Oregon's playoff resume while bolstering their own?

Elsewhere, contenders Ohio State (-29.5 @ Purdue), Indiana (-14.5 @ Penn State), USC (-14.5 vs Northwestern), Washington (-11.5 @ Wisconsin) and Notre Dame (-25.5 vs Navy) are all multi-score favorites while they look to avoid upsets that could hamper their own playoff aspirations.

In a drive for bowl eligibility, Maryland travels to Rutgers, with each team needing two wins to hit six for the season. Out west, Nebraska looks to get back on track without QB Dylan Raiola vs UCLA.
