No. 2 Ohio State (11-0) vs. No. 2 Michigan (11-0): 12 p.m. on FOX
BetMGM spread: OSU -7.5
One of college football’s best rivalries gains even more attention with both teams being undefeated. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud could boost his Heisman Trophy chances with a big game on Saturday.

No. 15 Notre Dame (8-3) vs. No. 6 USC (10-1): 7:30 p.m. on ABC
BetMGM spread: USC -5.5
USC could climb into the College Football Playoff with a little bit of luck and late-season wins over the Irish and in the Pac-12 Championship game.

No. 5 LSU (9-2) vs. Texas A&M (4-7): 7 p.m. on ESPN
BetMGM spread: LSU -9.5
The LSU Tigers are on the doorstep of the playoff and will likely get in if they can beat Georgia in the SEC Championship game. The Aggies would love to add some shine to a miserable season (1-6 in the SEC) with an upset on Saturday.
