This week's slate features a mix of conference rivalries and potential upset opportunities that could shake up the rankings and impact bowl game prospects.

One such game sees the USC Trojans traveling to Seattle to face the Washington Huskies. Both teams sport 4-4 records and are looking to secure bowl eligibility in their inaugural Big Ten seasons.

In the SEC, the 7-1 Texas A&M Aggies visit 4-3 South Carolina Gamecocks in what could be a defensive struggle, with A&M looking to maintain its perfect record in SEC conference play.

The ACC features the undefeated Miami Hurricanes hosting the Duke Blue Devils. Miami's high-octane offense will be tested against Duke's stingy defense in this David vs. Goliath matchup.
