Week 11 Features Key College Football Matchups

Week 11 features several consequential college football matchups, including Louisville-Georgia Tech, Clemson-Syracuse, Virginia Tech-SMU and Auburn-Arkansas. Louisville has won three straight ACC games while Georgia Tech has lost three in a row; the Yellow Jackets are weighing a quarterback change after Alberto Mendoza’s struggles, and ESPN’s FPI gives them a 12.3% chance to win. Georgia Tech could exploit Louisville’s vulnerability to big plays, though the Cardinals have an explosive offense and the Yellow Jackets have struggled on both sides of the ball. Clemson seeks a third consecutive win against Syracuse, whose returned quarterback Steve Angeli has helped the Orange score at least 30 points in two recent games; Clemson will look to build on a turnover-heavy win over Florida State. Virginia Tech and SMU, both in the ACC title race, meet after contrasting recent results, with the Hokies needing better offensive-line protection against SMU’s pass rush; Auburn hosts Arkansas seeking to end a two-game skid, with defensive consistency and a reshuffled offensive line among its concerns.
