The College Football season enters Week 11 as Mizzou hosts Oklahoma in primetime. Plus, Georgia at Ole Miss and Alabama at LSU highlight the Saturday SEC slate.

Week 11 of the College Football season is here as the No. 24 Missouri Tigers (6-2) return after their bye week hosting the Oklahoma Sooners (5-4) on a Saturday night in Columbia. No. 3 Georgia at No. 16 Ole Miss and No. 11 Alabama at No. 15 LSU highlight the SEC slate as the regular season heads down to the wire.

Let’s make some picks on another stacked Saturday: Standings recap after Week 10:

Chad Moller (38-12)

Sammy Stava (35-15)

(Odds Per FanDuel Sportsbook)

No. 24 Missouri Tigers (+2.5) vs Oklahoma Sooners (6:45 p.m. CST on SEC Network)

Sammy Stava: Mizzou’s fanbase has been pointing to this game all offseason. Even if it has been a little bit of a disappointment that the CFP is a long shot, it should still be a fun Saturday night environment in COMO, providing an advantage to the black and gold.

Regardless of if Brady Cook plays or not, I think Mizzou finds a way to win. It won’t be easy, it won’t be pretty, but 17-13 Tigers.

Chad Moller: I’m so bummed about Brady being injured, and I’m making this pick based on the assumption that he’s either out or hobbled enough that he’s very limited in what he can do. With that being the case, I say first TD wins in this one and I’ll go Oklahoma 10, Mizzou 6. If Brady was somewhere near healthy, I’d pick Mizzou to win.

Florida Gators at Texas Longhorns (-21.5) (11:00 a.m. CST on ABC):

Sammy Stava: The Longhorns got their scare out of the way against a good Vanderbilt team a couple of weeks ago in Nashville. While Florida put up a respectable showing against Georgia, the Gators might be out of gas after playing in an emotional rivalry game. Coming off a bye, it will be a big day from Quinn Ewers at home.

38-21, Horns.

Chad Moller: Wondering if Gator Nation is excited about the announcement made this week by Florida that Billy Napier is not being fired, but I know that typically does help a team relax a bit. I think that news helps fire up the Gators somewhat, but it won’t be enough to put them over the top here. Texas cruises, but Florida covers. UT 31, Florida 13.

No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (-2.5) at No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels (2:30 p.m. CST on ABC)

Sammy Stava: I think Jaxson Dart is playing at a higher level than Carson Beck right now, which gives Ole Miss a chance to win this, especially at home. However, this Rebels team lost to Kentucky at home earlier and it is extremely hard to pick against the Bulldogs — who are still the gold standard in College Football. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs find a way to win on the road with their defense as they still have that championship pedigree. 21-17, UGA.

Chad Moler: Beck will throw his customary three interceptions but Georgia will still take care of business – and the cover. Jawja 27, Ole Miss 24.

No. 11 Alabama Crimson Tide (-2.5) at No. 15 LSU Tigers (6:30 p.m. CST on ABC)

Sammy Stava: Saturday night in Death Valley with both teams looking to keep their playoff hopes alive? Sign me up. I usually side with the Tigers in LSU home night games, but with Alabama on a must-win mission to make the CFP, Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide get it done. 24-20, Bama.

Chad Moller: I’m torn on this game that features two teams who seem to play to the level of their competition. If they both do that Saturday evening, it’s going to be a great game and I’ll take the home field edge in this one. Death Valley will be smelling like corn dogs big time. Give me LSU 31, ‘Bama 30.

No. 9 BYU Cougars (-4.5) at Utah Utes (9:15 p.m. CST on ESPN)

Sammy Stava: The Cougars might be flying under the radar as an undefeated team. Utah’s season hasn’t lived up to expectations due to Cam Rising’s injury and the Utes have no answer at the quarterback position.

It will be challenging on the road, but BYU will keep their unbeaten season alive with a 31-20 victory in the Holy War.

Chad Moller: I so bigly want to pick Utah but they might be the one team in the country who is more impacted by losing their starting QB (Cam Rising) than Mizzou is without Brady Cook. Utah’s offense is putrid without Rising, and while their defense is decent, I just don’t see how they’ll keep up with BYU here. Would love to pick against ‘em, but I’m saying BYU 27, Utah 17.
