Summary

The weekend we have all been waiting for is here and so is McElroy to give you the only previews you need. Can Florida St continue the run game dominance at Virginia, will Illinois bounce back after last week's embarrassment or is USC too much to handle? Are Notre Dame and Ohio State on upset alert, can Texas A&M keep it going and will LSU be able to get the road win at Ole Miss? Plus, Gunner Stockton and Georgia welcome Ty Simpson and Alabama where the Tide will look to avoid their 2nd loss before October and Drew Aller, James Franklin and Penn State search for a signature win over Dan Lanning and #6 Oregon.
