No. 8 LSU travels to No. 14 Texas A&M in a pivotal SEC showdown with both teams hoping to take control of the top spot in the conference standings. Over the past two weeks, the Tigers outlasted Ole Miss and crushed Arkansas to get back into national contention after a slow start.

The Orange have excelled on the road, picking up wins at UNLV and N.C. State. Ohio State transfer Kyle McCord, who ranks second in the nation with 360 passing yards per game, should light up the Panthers’ 95th-ranked pass defense. Pitt’s four wins against Power Four teams have come by an average of just over four points per game.
