NCAA Football Week 10 Preview: Big Matchups on the Horizon

This Saturday, November brings us some of the most crucial matchups of the college football season. As the regular season winds down, teams are competing fiercely for their positions in conference championship games and the coveted College Football Playoff. Week 10 is stacked with excitement, starting with a big game at noon featuring the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes against the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions.

Ohio State, a perennial powerhouse in the Big Ten, has already suffered one loss in the conference, making this game crucial. A second loss could mean they miss out on the Big Ten Championship Game. Meanwhile, No. 1 Oregon heads to Michigan for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff, where they will take on the defending national champions. Although Michigan isn’t performing as strongly as last year, they pose a formidable challenge for the Ducks.

In the same afternoon window, we can expect an intriguing rivalry matchup as the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs face off against the Florida Gators. After a midseason loss to Alabama, Georgia has bounced back well and enters this matchup as heavy favorites. Conversely, Florida’s tough schedule and struggles have led to uncertainty regarding Coach Billy Napier’s future, making this game pivotal for their program’s direction.

The evening wraps up with an important ACC clash between the No. 18 Pitt Panthers and the No. 20 SMU Mustangs, both undefeated in conference play. This matchup could have significant implications for the ACC title race.
