Jeffrey Wright interviewed USA Today Senior SEC Reporter Blake Toppmeyer on Friday (9/26) in advance of the weekend action:
This week’s Top-25 slate serves up a gauntlet: Ohio State at Washington headlines as the only No. 1 test, while Penn State vs. Oregon pits No. 3 vs. No. 6 in what could decide playoff pecking order. LSU at Ole Miss and Georgia vs. Alabama are brutal SEC battles with major implications. Texas A&M vs. Auburn adds intrigue in the SEC West. Indiana at Iowa tests the Hoosiers after their huge statement win. USC at Illinois, Notre Dame at Arkansas, and TCU at Arizona State round out marquee showdowns. Lesser ranked but still dangerous: Iowa State vs. Arizona, Vanderbilt vs. Utah State and more fill out the weekend. Many games feature ranked vs. ranked or ranked vs. dangerous underdog, meaning no Top-25 team will have easy sailing.
