by We’re coming to the end of the college football season, which means already exciting games have major implications for conference title games and bowl games. Top of the pack this week is No. 4 TCU’s visit to No. 18 Texas. In addition, the SEC has No. 7 LSU, No. 9 Alabama and No. 1 Georgia playing road games.
Here’s what I’m watching.

College football: No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas
The Horned Frogs earned some respect this week, moving up to No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings after extending their undefeated record to 9-0. Although TCU is only one of four remaining undefeated programs left, the betting markets make them an underdog in Austin. Why will the 6–3 Longhorns be favored? Quarterback Quinn Ewers is back healthy, running back Bijan Robinson is virtually unstoppable and the Texas defense is much improved from 2021.

HIDDEN GEM:
College football: No. 15 North Carolina at Wake Forest
If you thought the Washington-Oregon game was going to be high-scoring, this ACC matchup will likely blow the whistle. Those programs combined for 113 points in UNC’s three-pointer last season and 112 in the Tar Heels’ six-point win in 2020. With talented quarterbacks Sam Hartman for Wake and Drake Maye for Carolina, there should be little danger this the trend reverses.
