Week 6 was college football at its absolute best. Upsets, overtime, controversy, rivalry hate, and enough chaos to make a case for one of the wildest Saturdays in years. Unranked Oklahoma stunned No. 1 Texas 27-24 in the Red River Rivalry, Kentucky went for two in overtime to knock off LSU, and Georgia survived Alabama in a heavyweight SEC showdown that came with a controversial non-call. Indiana escaped Nebraska, while UCLA continued its surge with a win over Oregon.

Old-school college football royalty meets the new kid on the block. Ohio State has spent decades ruling the Big Ten, but defending national champion Indiana has officially crashed the party. The Hoosiers are 6-0, riding a 22-game winning streak and fresh off a 20-17 escape at Nebraska. Ohio State, meanwhile, sits at 5-1, with superstar receiver Jeremiah Smith leading an offense that's averaging nearly 45 points per game.
And there's history here. Indiana stunned Ohio State 13-10 in last year's Big Ten Championship Game, snapping a losing streak against the Buckeyes that stretched back to 1988. Now Ryan Day's crew heads to Bloomington looking for payback, while Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers have a chance to prove that college football's new power isn't going anywhere. Old money meets new money. Noon kickoff. Buckle up.
Odds per DraftKings
Spread: Ohio State -3.5 (-108) | Indiana +3.5 (-112)
Over/Under: 50.5 (Over -118 | Under -102)

No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish at No. 8 BYU Cougars
Saturday, October 17, 7:30PM ET | ABC
How to watch with Sling: Watch ABC with Sling Blue or the new Sling Select package in designated markets.
Two undefeated teams. Two very different college football traditions. And one massive Saturday night game in Provo. No. 2 Notre Dame heads west at 6-0 after absolutely dismantling Stanford 58-7, while No. 8 BYU is 5-0 and coming off a 24-10 win over Iowa State.
The Irish have certainly looked like a national championship contender, but their competition hasn’t been elite. Now comes their first big test of the season, and winning at BYU is no casual road trip. The Cougars get a top-two team under the lights in one of college football's rowdiest environments, with a chance to make a serious statement of their own.
By the time this one ends, somebody's perfect season is over.
Odds per DraftKings
Spread: Notre Dame -10 (-110) | BYU +10 (-110)
Over/Under: 46.5 (Over -115 | Under -105)
Moneyline: Notre Dame -380 | BYU +300
No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide at No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers

The Third Saturday in October means Vols vs. Tide, and it rarely needs much help generating drama. This year is no different. No. 6 Alabama heads to Knoxville looking to rebound from its first loss of the season, a 20-17 heartbreaker against Georgia. No. 14 Tennessee enters at 5-1 after surviving Arkansas 24-17 on the road.
Alabama has dominated this rivalry historically, but Tennessee has won the last two meetings in Knoxville, including that unforgettable 52-49 shootout in 2022. Now the Vols get another shot at the Tide in Neyland Stadium, while Alabama suddenly has very little room for error. Nothing like a trip to Rocky Top when your playoff hopes could use a nice, relaxing Saturday afternoon.
Odds per DraftKings
Spread: Alabama -8.5 (-110) | Tennessee +8.5 (-110)
Over/Under: 51.5 (Over -115 | Under -105)
Moneyline: Alabama -325 | Tennessee +260
Auburn Tigers at No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs
Saturday, October 17, 3:30PM ET | ESPN
How to watch with Sling: Watch ESPN with a monthly subscription to Sling Orange or Sling Essentials
Welcome to the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, where Georgia and Auburn have been making each other miserable since 1892. The top-ranked Bulldogs return to Athens at 6-0 after a hard-fought 20-17 victory at Alabama, a win that vaulted them to No. 1 in the AP poll. Georgia's offense is averaging a whopping 46.2 points per game, and Kirby Smart's team looks every bit like a national championship contender.
Auburn, meanwhile, enters at 3-2 after a bye week and a 24-14 loss to Tennessee. The Tigers have lost nine straight to Georgia, and snapping that streak between the hedges would be a monumental upset.
Georgia is the overwhelming favorite, but after what we witnessed last Saturday, maybe we should all retire the phrase "sure thing" before it embarasses us again.
Odds per DraftKings
Spread: Auburn +20.5 (-102) | Georgia -20.5 (-118)
Over/Under: 49.5 (Over -108 | Under -112)
Moneyline: Auburn +900 | Georgia -1600
