A pair of breakout quarterbacks going head-to-head against each other in the SEC headlines Saturday's slate of college football games.

That matchup features a marquee quarterback showdown as Keelon Russell leads No. 7 Alabama into Starkville to face Kamario Taylor and No. 16 Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have emerged as one of the SEC's biggest surprises through four weeks, thanks in large part to Taylor, who is tied for the national lead with 14 touchdown passes.

No. 14 Iowa hosts "College GameDay" and No. 6 Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium for the top Big Ten game of the day. Jeremiah Smith, fresh off a career-high 217 receiving yards and four touchdowns last week, enters the top-15 matchup on the brink of setting multiple Buckeyes receiving records.
