Week 8 in college football will be a busy one, with four showdowns of ranked teams on tap and a plethora of other key conference contests involving the US LBM Coaches Poll Top 25.

The SEC takes center stage with a trio of matchups of squads all within a game atop the standings. No. 1 Texas hosts fourth-ranked Georgia in prime time, No. 7 Alabama visits No. 10 Tennessee in a must-win affair for both, and No. 8 LSU hopes to avoid a road trap at Arkansas.

There is also a pair of unlikely ranked matchups in the Big Ten as No. 18 Indiana puts its unblemished record on the line hosting No. 25 Nebraska and No. 21 Illinois welcomes No. 22 Michigan. It will be an early start to the weekend with No. 2 Oregon and No. 13 Brigham Young in action on Friday night.

Our panel of prognosticators weighs in on who will hold serve and who will be bitten by the upset bug.
