Of college football's four remaining unbeaten teams (Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, UTSA), three play away from home in Week 11. While the Bearcats get a 2–7 South Florida team, the Bulldogs travel to Knoxville to meet 5–4 Tennessee and the Sooners get arguably the stiffest test, a trip to 7–2 Baylor.
Oklahoma needs to start racking up quality wins to improve its playoff ranking, after checking in at No. 8 for the second week in a row. A win over the Bears would certain help its cause. Michigan, meanwhile, also has a big game on its hands against Penn State in Happy Valley. The Wolverines moved up to No. 6 in the CFP rankings this week, one spot ahead of a Michigan State team they recently lost to.
No. 9 Notre Dame also travels this week, taking on Virginia in a game that would end its lingering playoff hopes should it fall in Charlottesville.
