These five teams are on upset alert heading into Week 11 of the college football season against pesky opponents.

What would college football be without big-time upsets? The sport would still be awesome, but watching overwhelming favorites lose to underdogs never gets old. All season long, that has been happening and 2016 has been kind to fans.

Last week, there were a couple of big upsets that caught the attention of college football fans. One happened to be the Mississippi State win over No. 4 Texas A&M as well as the Arkansas victory against No. 11 Florida.

The Aggies were the surprise team in the first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings, coming in at No. 4 even though they had one loss. They were slotted ahead of undefeated Washington. Clearly Texas A&M was overrated.

As for Florida, the Gators had been lightly-tested all season long but they hit the road to take on Arkansas and lost a tough one.

There could be a number of upsets this week with conference play winding down and the regular season just three weeks away from concluding. There are teams out there playing with absolutely nothing to lose, and that’s when top teams go down in upset fashion.

Alabama almost fell victim to an upset in Week 10 as they traveled to Death Valley to take on the LSU Tigers and squeaked out a 10-point victory.

Who will be on this week’s upset alert? The Crimson Tide might just roll to an undefeated regular season with no problem, but there might be another unbeaten team that made this list.

Let’s take a look at the Week 11 upset alert.
