We’re fully into conference schedules across the country, and that’s usually the time the real contenders start to emerge and teams get tested on a more frequent basis.<\/p>\n

no. 2 Alabama is among that group this week with a trip to face No. 20 Arkansas. That’s one of five ranked vs. ranked matchups on tap this weekend, including two big ones in the ACC Atlantic. There is the potential for plenty of upsets, especially with several other ranked teams going on the road to face unranked conference foes, beginning with No. 15 Washington’s trip to UCLA on Friday night.<\/p>\n

This should be a really fun weekend.<\/p>\n

Time: Noon | TV: ESPN | <\/strong>Line: Ole Miss -7 | Total: 53.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Off to a 4-0 start and ranked No. 7 in the country, Kentucky is getting one of its best players back for a road showdown with No. 14 OleMiss. Chris Rodriguez, the team’s top running back, is back after a four-game suspension. Rodriguez could provide a jolt for an offense that has underwhelmed a bit to this point in the season. On the other side, Ole Miss is second in the SEC with 13 sacks. Offensively, Ole Miss has settled on USC transfer Jaxson Dart at quarterback after he split reps with Luke Altmyer early in the year. Off to a 4-0 start, the Rebels have leaned on their running game and are averaging 5.8 yards per rush as a team.<\/p>\n

Time: 3:30 pm | TV: CBS | <\/strong>Line: Alabama -17.5 | Total: 60.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

We haven’t heard much from Alabama since it nearly lost to Texas back in Week 2. After escaping Austin with a 20-19 win, the Crimson Tide posted back-to-back blowout home wins over UL Monroe and Vanderbilt. The Tide need to find some consistency at receiver as SEC play picks up, beginning with Saturday’s trip to Fayetteville. Arkansas opened the year 3-0 with wins over Cincinnati and South Carolina before dropping a heartbreaker to Texas A&M last week. Sam Pittman’s group is going to have to turn the page quickly with Alabama visiting Razorback Stadium.<\/p>\n
