With only three weeks left in the regular season of college football, every game is important for the teams wishing to get a bid to the College Football Playoffs.
After an intense week of matchups in Week 10, some teams are coming off of a season high and others a low.
For both sides, the games are in the past, and they can look forward to Saturday’s matchups.
Here are this week’s games to watch:
LSU vs. Florida
With both teams coming off of tough losses, LSU and Florida see Saturday’s matchup as a redemption opportunity.
LSU suffered its third loss of the season to Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Although the game was tied at half, it became clear who the winners would be after quarterback Jayden Daniels entered the medical tent for concussion protocol.
Without Daniels leading the Tigers, Alabama easily took the lead and won by two touchdowns.
Since the injury, Daniels played full contact in practice and is listed as probable for LSU’s matchup against Florida.
After the loss, LSU dropped five seeds to No. 19 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Although the Tigers aren’t expected to make the playoffs, they will likely gain another win on Saturday against Florida in Death Valley.
Florida faced an upset to Arkansas in its previous game. Although the Gators were expected to win by a field goal, the Razorbacks flipped the score.
Coming off of a 39-36 loss, the Gators aren’t expected to do much better against the Tigers. LSU is expected to win by at least two touchdowns, according to Sports Illustrated.
The game can be streamed on SEC Network at 6:30 p.m.

Ole Miss at Georgia
Ole Miss is traveling to Georgia on Saturday.
Georgia remains the only undefeated team in the SEC. However, Ole Miss is a close second with an overall record of 8-1.
The Rebels are riding a five-game win streak, with the most current being against Texas A&M.
In its previous game, the Rebels pulled off a close 38-35 win against the Aggies and are hoping to do it again against the Bulldogs.
Although Georgia is projected to win by almost five points, Ole Miss shouldn’t be overlooked.
In its game against Texas A&M, quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with receiver Tre Harris for 213 yards and handed off to running back Qunishon Judkins for 102 yards and three touchdowns.
With a solid offense, the Rebels have a fighting chance to be the first team to declare victory against Georgia.
With that being said, the Bulldog’s defense is known for shutting down offenses. Since the start of the season, the Bulldogs haven’t allowed a team to score more than three touchdowns against them.
The game is expected to be one of the most exciting matchups of the season.
It will be streamed on ESPN at 6 p.m.
Alabama at Kentucky
Alabama, ranked No. 1 in the SEC West and No. 8 in the CFP rankings, will travel to Kentucky to play the Wildcats on Saturday.
In its previous game against LSU, Alabama proved that their offense could execute, producing 42 points to win by 14.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe threw 219 yards and had 155 rushing yards on 20 carries with four touchdowns.
Alabama answered in crunch time, especially when it came to third downs, successfully completing 11 of 14.
With the Tide coming off of a win against LSU, the Wildcats shouldn’t be a problem for them, even with linebacker Deontae Lawson, safety Jaylen Key and wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks out.
Kentucky is 3-3 in conference play, compared to Alabama’s undefeated record.
In its previous game against Mississippi State, Kentucky held the Bulldogs to a field goal.
Despite head coach Mark Stoops describing the victory as “far from pretty,” the Wildcats secured their third conference win of the season.
Even with Kentucky’s previous victory, its matchup against the Tide will likely be one of the less exciting games of the week, as Alabama is favored to win by over 10 points.
The game can be streamed on ESPN at 11 a.m.
Auburn vs. Arkansas
After pulling off its first upset of the season, Arkansas will host the Tigers in Fayetteville, hoping to increase its win streak to two.
In its previous game against Florida, the Razorbacks proved their abilities and pulled off a 39-36 win in overtime.
Quarterback KJ Jefferson threw for 255 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He connected with receiver Andrew Armstrong, who had three receptions for 103 yards, averaging 34.3 yards per reception.
Auburn is riding a two-game win streak with its most recent against Vanderbilt.
The Tigers shut the Commodores down with a 31-15 win. Running back Jarquez Hunter led the game in rushing yards, rushing 183 yards on 19 carries with two touchdowns.
Both teams have struggled to produce wins this season, so the matchup should be a close one.
Auburn is projected to win by a field goal, but each team has a fair chance.
The game can be streamed on ESPN at 3 p.m.

Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State
After a tough loss on the road to Ole Miss, the Aggies will host Mississippi State in hopes of reviving their winning record in conference play.
After a back and forth lead the entire game, the Rebels defeated the Aggies by three points, worsening Texas A&M’s conference record to 3-3.
Despite the loss, quarterback Max Johnson continued to shine, completing 31 of 42 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown.
Mississippi State is coming off of another loss.
In their game against Kentucky, the Bulldogs only managed to score a field goal.
Quarterback Will Rogers has struggled to produce touchdowns and points in general. In their past three games, the Bulldogs have managed to score a combined total of 19 points.
The game isn’t expected to be close, as Texas A&M is favored to win by over two touchdowns.
The game can be streamed on ESPN at 6:30 p.m.
