It’s Week 8 of the 2023 college football season. The slate has two headliners with major College Football Playoff implications.
The No. 11 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 17 Tennessee Volunteers meet for their usual rivalry game on the third Saturday in October. Both fly under the radar despite each team only having one loss on the season.
Texas faithful will have significant interest in the game. The Longhorns’ biggest win on its resume took place in Tuscaloosa, where Texas dominated Alabama in its own building. In my estimation, the Crimson Tide winning out would be far more beneficial to the Longhorns than if the Oklahoma Sooners finish the regular season 12-0.
In the Big Ten, one team’s playoff hopes could come crumbling down. No. 3 Ohio State hosts No. 7 Penn State.
Let’s predict Week 8.
