It's a somewhat light week in College Football this Saturday, but there are still several matchups worth paying attention to this weekend. Here's what I've got my eye on in the SEC and Big 12.
Tennessee at Florida (2:30, CBS)
Prospects: Vernon Hargreaves III (CB, Florida), Jonathan Bullard (DE, Florida), Demarcus Robinson (WR, Florida), Cam Sutton (CB, Tennessee), Pig Howard (WR, Tennessee), Jalen Reeves-Maybin (LB, Tennessee)
10 games. Florida has won 10 straight games against Tennessee. Will the streak end this weekend? There is no reason it shouldn't. Tennessee is just flat out better. We'll see if they can get over the mental hump today.
In one of the better individual matchups of the day, Cam Sutton will take on Demarcus Robinson. Sutton has passed nearly every test that he's had since his freshman season, garnering him some top 20 talk. Vernon Hargreaves III will take on Marquez North and a host of other Vols' receivers. Josh Dobbs would be wise to stay far away from VH3.
Mississippi State at Auburn (6:30, ESPN2)
Prospects: Duke Williams (WR, Auburn), Montravius Adams (DL, Auburn), Chris Jones (DL, MSU), De'Runnya Wilson (WR, MSU), Will Redmond (CB, MSU)
What a mess Auburn has become. Jeremy Johnson has been a total disaster, so Gus will head in a new direction this weekend with Sean White. They'll get a stiff test as Mississippi State rolls into town. The Bulldogs don't have the defensive talent that they had last season, but they still have Chris Jones and Will Redmond -- two potential top 100 picks. Redmond has an intriguing matchup ahead with Auburn's Duke Williams. We'll see if Auburn can get Williams more involved this week.
Texas A&M vs. Arkansas (Arlington, TX) (6:00, ESPN)
Prospects: Germain Ifedi (OT, TAMU) Ricky Seals-Jones (WR, TAMU), Alex Collins (RB, Arkansas), Hunter Henry (TE, Arkansas), Denver Kirkland (OT, Arkansas)
After ending the 2014 season as one of the hottest teams in the nation, Arkansas has kicked off 2015 as one of the coldest. Back to back losses to Toledo and Texas Tech have Bret Bielema's seat boiling hot. This week won't be any easier.
Arkansas shouldn't have any problem running the ball with Alex Collins. He went for 170 yards last weekend against Texas Tech and should replicate that success this week. Arkansas will have plenty off issues trying to slow down A&M's red hot offense, however. Kyle Allen should be in store for a big game against a subpar secondary.
TCU at Texas Tech (3:45, Fox)
Prospects: Josh Doctson (WR, TCU), Aaron Green (RB, TCU), Le'Raven Clark (OT, TTU), DeAndre Washington (RB, TTU)
Here's Texas Tech's chance to prove that they belong. They'll get the Frogs at home with a shot to knock them off and improve to 4-0. This game should be one of the best watches of the day. The over under has been set at 85. 85!
It was just one year ago that TCU dropped 82 points on the Red Raiders. Think Kliff Kingsbury wants revenge? He's found his quarterback in Patrick Mahomes and should be able to hang touchdown for touchdown with TCU. Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson should light up the scoreboard today. Doctson is one of the best receiving prospects in the country. His hands, leaping ability and body control are just ridiculous. Watch for him to show out today.
