College football live scores, updates: Notre Dame at USC, Auburn at Alabama and more

How did we get to the final week of the regular season?

There’s a lot at stake for the College Football Playoff. Rivalry Week only features two games between ranked teams, but don’t let that make you think it won’t be a fun weekend of football. Just look at what happened in Week 13, when three SEC teams in the hunt for the playoffs all lost on the road to unranked opponents.

Here’s what we see the rest of the day. (Scroll down for live updates.)

Time: 3:30 p.m. | TV: CBS | Line: Notre Dame -7.5 | Overall: 51.5

The Trojans can help salvage a frustrating season and potentially end Notre Dame’s playoff hopes with an upset. The Irish are a very poor opponent for a USC defense that allows carries of more than five yards. Notre Dame’s running game is one of the best in the country as Jeremiyah Love has developed into a home run hitter. Love has 121 carries for 850 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas -5.5 | Overall: 48.5

It’s fantastic to see these two long-time rivals finally competing against each other again. And it gets even better with the stakes. The winner will play Georgia for the SEC title on December 7th. The Longhorns and Aggies haven’t played since 2011, when Texas needed a late field goal for a 27-25 win in College Station. That was A&M’s final game in the Big 12 before moving to the SEC.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: Fox | Line: Iowa State -3 | Overall: 51.5

Farmageddon has serious implications for the Big 12 title. Both teams are on course for the conference title, although Kansas State will know at kickoff whether it still has a chance. At 7-2, Iowa State is in the Big 12 title game against Arizona State. If the Cyclones lose, they are out of the title race.
