There Are Three Top-25 Teams On Upset Alert For Week 11

With the College Football Playoff rankings set to be updated in just a few days, the stakes are incredibly high for Week 11.

For starters, No. 7 BYU and No. 8 Texas Tech will square off at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. The winner of this game will be in the driver's seat to win the Big 12. ESPN Analytics gives the Red Raiders a 60.9% chance of coming out on top in this top-10 battle.

No. 4 Alabama, meanwhile, will take on LSU in a rivalry game that lost a bit of steam due to Brian Kelly's departure. There's no doubt fans in Baton Rouge will be pulling for an upset though.

Speaking of upsets, there are three games in particular that are on our radar.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore throws a pass before the game as the Oregon Ducks host the Wisconsin Badgers on Oct. 25, 2025, at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.

No. 9 Oregon vs. No. 20 Iowa

If Oregon quarterback Dante Moore plays up to his potential, there won't be an upset this Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. Of course, that's easier said than done when you're facing Iowa's defense.

Iowa is coming off a 41-3 win over Minnesota where the defense forced three turnovers. Getting pressure on Moore will be pivotal in order for the Hawkeyes to take down the Ducks.

A loss this Saturday would certainly hurt Oregon's chances of making the College Football Playoff, so it's fair to say the heat is on.

No. 3 Texas A&M vs. No. 22 Missouri 

Texas A&M has looked like the class of the SEC this season, make no mistake about it. That being said, Missouri has a defense capable of keeping Marcel Reed in check. The dual-threat quarterback has 1,972 passing yards, 349 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns.

The real question is whether or not true freshman Matthew Zollers can handle Texas A&M's defense. He'll be replacing quarterback Beau Pribula due to injury.

“It’s about playing to what his strengths are,” Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said. “Are there things that we’re going to add? Probably not. But are there things that he’s more comfortable with than maybe Beau was? Absolutely."

If Zollers plays well, Missouri will have a chance to pull off the upset.

Auburn vs. No. 16 Vanderbilt

On paper, Vanderbilt should have no issue getting past Auburn. However, we can't overlook the impact a coaching change could have on a young locker room.

Maybe, just maybe, Auburn interim coach DJ Durkin will give his squad a spark on the road against a Vanderbilt team that's coming off a deflating loss to Texas.

Earlier this season, Auburn was hanging tough in games with Oklahoma and Texas A&M. There's no question there's talent on this roster.
