A pair of ranked showdowns highlight this week's slate of college football.
The Florida State-Miami football rivalry is set for another chapter with the third-ranked Hurricanes taking on No. 18 Florida State in Tallahassee. The Seminoles can avenge last week's upset loss to Virginia with a statement win over Carson Beck and company.
In Tuscaloosa, No. 10 Alabama looks to keep its momentum following a win over Georgia; the Crimson Tide welcome in No. 16 Vanderbilt. Diego Pavia and the Commodores pulled off a stunning takedown of Alabama last season, and they'll aim for another program-boosting win this go-around.
The Sporting News has everything that you need to know about the Week 6 schedule, including TV and streaming options for every game.
