This is what we call a top-heavy lineup.

Just two matchups of ranked opponents, but both involve teams deep in the College Football Playoff race.

No. 3 Baylor remains outside of the top four teams, but the Bears can make a big impression with a home win against No. 11 Oklahoma, which has won four games by a combined 182 points since its loss to Texas.

Fresh off their defeat of LSU, No. 4 Alabama heads to No. 20 Mississippi State. The Bulldogs represent the last Top 25 opponent for the Tide on their path to the SEC championship game.
