Watch guide for week 8 of college football: Huge ranked matchups throughout the weekend
The weekend is once again nearly upon us, college football fans. Now nearly midway through the season, storylines and title favorites are beginning to take shape.
This weekend figures to be a big one for said storylines and title favorites, however. We have some huge ranked matchups on the docket in the SEC, and some games that will no doubt be fun watches either way. Without further ado, let's jump right in.
What to watch in college football week 8: Early slate
First screen: Auburn @ 19 Missouri (12 PM ET/11 AM CT, ESPN)
Auburn is coming off of a bye week, and Mizzou is anxious to prove themselves. The Alabamian Tigers are in the middle of a three-game road trip and still searching for answers on offense, while their counterparts are a little more established. I think Mizzou takes this one, though not without some heartburn for fans. Prediction: Missouri 27, Auburn 17
Second screen: 6 Miami (FL) @ Louisville (12 PM ET/11 AM CT, ABC)
Cam Ward and the Hurricanes are continuing their hard charge at an ACC title, and this might be the single biggest challenge left for them before they inevitably make it to Charlotte. Louisville is on a bit of a skid after a strong start to the season, having dropped games to SMU and Notre Dame and escaping a scare against UVA. I think the Hurricanes make quick work of this one. Prediction: Miami 41, Louisville 27
