The end of September brings some high-end conference matchups, including a potential National Championship-level matchup when Georgia and Alabama meet in SEC play.

Carson Beck and the Bulldogs had a BYE week after a close call on the road in SEC play, but it will be a tough test on Saturday in Tuscaloosa when the team faces the Crimson Tide, who have a Heisman Trophy contender in Jalen Milroe.

That game is the highlight of a loaded slate that features a road trip from Louisville to Notre Dame and a host of Big 12 action including, Arizona vs. Utah and Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State.
