Many teams are hitting the halfway mark of their schedule in Week 6 of the college football season. This week presents some of the more odd ranked matchups you’ll see between some teams that have very rarely showed their face in the AP Top 25 the past several years. Eighth-ranked Tennessee gets it started against No. 25 LSU. The story of this game is the Volunteers’ offense against the Tigers’ defense, which features a bunch of NFL talent for both squads.
Seventeenth-ranked TCU is taking on—wait for it—No. 19-ranked Kansas. Kansas hasn’t been ranked for 13 years, and it’s also been nearly 13 years since you’ve been able to stomach sitting through the entirety of a Kansas game.
