No. 3 Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) at No. 15 West Virginia (5-1, 2-1), 7 p.m. ET: Coming off last week’s humiliating defeat at Texas Tech, Geno Smith and the Mountaineers head back to the fortress of Morgantown, but welcome a Kansas State team that has allowed only six passing touchdowns on the year.

Michigan State (4-3, 1-2) at No. 25 Michigan (4-2, 2-0), 3:30 p.m. ET: Both teams came into 2012 fairly overhyped and have each shown their flaws, but the battle for the Paul Bunyan trophy is one of the most compelling rivalries in college football. Michigan State has won the last four meetings, and limited Denard Robinson to 165 total yards last year.

Virginia Tech (4-2, 2-1) at No. 14 Clemson (5-1, 2-1) 12 p.m. ET: After back-to-back losses, the Hokies bounced back with an impressive win over Duke last week. A win here would get their seemingly-annual late-season surge started.

No. 10 Florida State (6-1, 3-1) at Miami (4-3, 3-1), 8 p.m. ET: The Hurricanes have stumbled the last two weeks, but their 3-0 start in ACC play means they’re in the driver’s seat in the division. Florida State has won three of the last four meetings in the rivalry, including the last two.

No. 1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0) at Tennessee (3-3, 0-3), 7 p.m. ET: To the credit of the .500 Volunteers, all three of their losses have against ranked teams, and they’ve all been hard-fought games. Still, this is Alabama.

Baylor (3-2, 0-2) at Texas (4-2, 1-2), 8 p.m. ET: The Longhorns have dropped their last two (against very good teams), but Mack Brown's squad can start to get its mojo back with a rivalry win.

N.C. State (4-2, 1-1) at Maryland (4-2, 2-0), 3:30 p.m. ET: Somehow Maryland, yes Maryland, is the only undefeated team in the ACC. The Wolfpack is coming off a bye week after a monumental upset of then-No. 3 Florida State and has won four of five. A win here would be huge for Maryland, which has two more very winnable games on deck.
