It’s rivalry week in college football and there is a lot on the line for teams in the national title hunt.
The biggest game of the weekend will take place at No. 6 Auburn as the Tigers host No. 1 Alabama. Both teams are still heavily in the mix for a playoff spot. The winner will finish on top of the SEC West and earn a spot in the SEC Championship game vs. Georgia.
Here’s a look at the top 10 heading into the weekend:

Top 10:
1 Alabama 11-0 @ No. 6 Auburn
2 Miami 10-0 @ Pittsburgh
3 Clemson 10-1 @ No. 24 South Carolina
4 Oklahoma 10-1 vs. West Virginia
5 Wisconsin 11-0 @ Minnesota
6 Auburn 9-2 vs. No. 1 Alabama
7 Georgia 10-1 @ Georgia Tech
8 Notre Dame 9-2 @ No. 21 Stanford
9 Ohio State 9-2 @ Michigan
10 Penn State 9-2 @ Maryland
You’ll notice that 8 of the top 10 teams are on the road vs. rivals this week. What that almost certainly means is that this list will look very different on Sunday.
Some things to keep in mind:
– Clemson will be playing Miami in the ACC title game; winning at South Carolina is no gimme
– Auburn/Alabama will be playing Georgia in the SEC title game
– Ohio State will be playing Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game
– Oklahoma will still have a Big 12 title game vs. TCU/Iowa State
– Notre Dame has a tough road trip this weekend
