College Football Week 6 Spotlight Matchups & Potential BIG 10 Deal

College Football Ranked Matchups in Week 6

• (16) Vanderbilt at (10) Alabama — Vanderbilt’s on a historic run (5–0 heading into this), and ESPN’s College GameDay is heading to Tuscaloosa to cover this showdown. The Commodores shocked Bama last year and will look to do it again, while Alabama, riding the momentum of a road win over Georgia, is firing on all cylinders.

• (3) Miami at (18) Florida State — In a storied ACC rivalry, the Hurricanes have looked like one of the country’s elite squads, and FSU needs to bounce back after last week’s stinging loss to unranked Virginia. The stakes here are elevated — a loss could completely derail the Seminoles’ playoff hopes, and a win almost cements Miami’s path forward.

  
  

Expect contrast in styles, high tension, and a real chance for either underdog or favorite to make a statement.
