No. 4 Boise State at Idaho
When: Thursday
Where: Kibbie Dome, Moscow, Idaho
Time: 9 p.m.
TV: ESPN2/ESPN 3D
Buzz: With forty years of in-state rivalry between these two schools, it’s not hard to figure out there is no love lost between these two schools. The Broncos have claimed 11 straight victories in the series including the last six matchups in Moscow with the winner claiming the Governor’s Cup. Boise State has won 22-straight games, the longest winning streak in the nation. Keep an eye on QB Kellen Moore. The redshirt junior has already claimed three school records and is making a case for the Heisman Trophy.

Georgia at No. 2 Auburn
When: Saturday
Where: Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Alabama
Time: 3:30 p.m.
TV: CBS
Buzz: If you are looking for the definition of a trap game, this one would be it. Undefeated and ranked No. 2 in the BCS, Auburn could be looking past the struggling Bulldogs to their big Iron Bowl showdown with Alabama on November 26. Top it off with rumors and innuendos surrounding Heisman Trophy quarterback Cam Newton and his eligibility, and you can see where Auburn is ripe for a loss. Georgia has the No. 2 rushing defense in the SEC (106.4 yards per game) and will need to slow down the league’s No. 1 rushing offense (307.2 ypg) led by Newton (114.6 ypg).

No. 20 Virginia Tech at North Carolina
When: Saturday
Where: Kenan Memorial Stadium, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Time: 3:30 p.m.
TV: ABC
Buzz: It’s pretty simple for Frank Beamer and Virginia Tech. Beat the Tar Heels on Saturday and hope for a Miami loss to Georgia Tech to clinch your fourth ACC Coastal title in six years. A loss by the Hokies gives Miami and North Carolina a sliver of hope for a division title. This one features a matchup of two of the best quarterbacks in the ACC. Tyrod Taylor (258.1 ypg) and T.J. Yates (254.4 ypg) rank No. 2 and No. 3 respectively in total offense.

No. 23 South Carolina at No. 22 Florida
When: Saturday
Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Florida
Time: 7:15 p.m.
TV: ESPN
Buzz: South Carolina travels to Gainesville and a date with Florida with the Eastern Division on the line. The winner gets a trip to Atlanta for the Dec. 4 SEC Championship Game. For the Gamecocks, a trip to the title game would be the first in school history. Florida knows what they need to do to get back to Atlanta. The defense must stop Marcus Lattimore and find away to run the ball against the conference’s No. 1 rushing defense.

No. 1 Oregon at California
When: Saturday
Where: Memorial Stadium, Berkley, California
Time: 7:30 p.m.
TV: Versus
Buzz: On paper, this one doesn’t even seem to be close. Cal has owned the Ducks, winning four of the past six meetings including three straight in Berkley. But games aren’t played on paper. Oregon leads the nation in scoring offense (54.7) and total offense (567.2 ypg) and with Heisman Trophy candidate running back LaMichael James, the Ducks don’t look like they will slow down any time soon. James is 15 rushing yards away from passing Jonathan Stewart for second all-time in Oregon history.
