Week 11 of the 2026 college football season sees the Alabama Crimson Tide in Nashville for a matchup against the Vanderbilt Commodores. Of the eight head-to-head SEC matchups, a giant clash of two conference foes competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff looms large in prime time, and other teams with playoff aspirations look to avoid damaging upsets.
Alabama (7-2, 5-2 SEC) rose two spots to No. 3 in Tuesday's updated College Football Playoff rankings. The Crimson Tide are No. 7 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25. Vanderbilt (4-5, 1-5) is unranked and is a heavy underdog against Alabama, but everyone remembers what happened the last time Kalen DeBoer's team went Nashville a week after notching a big conference win.
Elsewhere
in the SEC, Texas (7-2, 4-2) visits LSU (6-3, 3-3) in a prime-time showdown in Baton Rouge. It's a must-win game for Lane Kiffin and the Bayou Bengals after their 31-13 loss to Alabama at Tiger Stadium, a game that saw Keelon Russell lead the Crimson Tide on three touchdown drives in a span of nine minutes on the game clock.
Georgia (8-1, 6-1), the team that sits alone atop this week's CFP rankings, hosts Missouri (6-3, 3-3) at Sanford Stadium in the mid-afternoon window. Kirby Smart's team, which is also ranked No. 1 in the top-25 polls, has more than deserved its spot atop the rankings but looks to avoid a second upset loss at home this season.
Of the teams looking to bounce back from a loss in Week 10, Kentucky (7-2, 5-2) hosts Florida (5-4, 3-4) in primetime while Ole Miss (6-3, 4-3) visits Norman for a matchup against Oklahoma (5-4, 3-3). Kentucky suffered its second loss of the season last week in a 34-6 loss at Tennessee while Ole Miss was hammered 42-7 by Georgia at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
South Carolina (6-3 ,4-3) looks to stay hot and is seeking its fifth straight win since starting the season 2-3. LaNorris Sellers and the Gamecocks visit Arkansas in another prime-time kickoff.
