College Football 2021: Top 3 under-the-radar games to watch in Week 11
By Shane Lunnen
Week 11 is upon us and with only three weeks left in the regular season, it should be a pretty decisive weekend in regards to conference title races. Time to enjoy as many games as possible as the season winds down.
Last week did not look great on paper but provided some exciting games and a lot of upsets. Two top 10 teams lost to unranked teams and five other ranked teams lost to unranked opponents.
The chaos of last Saturday led to a shakeup in this week’s Top 25 CFP rankings, which naturally of course has created controversy. This should all play itself out over the last few weeks of the season but fans are losing confidence in the playoff committee with their blatant inconsistencies.
All the games on last week’s under the radar list were not particularly close. It was fun to watch UTSA’s win over UTEP as they pushed their record to 9-0. At least the playoff committee ranked the Roadrunners this week.
Florida at South Carolina was also on last week’s list and wow, what a fall for the Gators. The Gamecocks were 20 point underdogs and won by 23. There is a lot of turmoil in Gainesville and Dan Mullen will need to find a way to not let the team completely bottom out.
Moving back to this week, there are four ranked versus ranked matchups with potential to be great. Here are three other matchups with interesting storylines and worth the watch on Saturday.
