The SEC is the headliner once again in Week 11.
The only two games featuring ranked teams both come in the SEC and also serve as elimination games for both the SEC championship and the College Football Playoff. No. 3 Georgia visits No. 16 Ole Miss in the afternoon before No. 11 Alabama takes on No. 14 LSU.

Beck has shown up when Georgia needs him to, however, and a frantic defensive front could pose a problem for the Rebels. Just look at how Georgia dominated Texas in the trenches in Austin and how Kirby Smart said after the game that his team had been doubted. Given that Georgia is a slight favorite in this one, it’s harder for Smart…
