The 2021 college football season is entering a pivotal stage. Teams are simultaneously running out of time to prove their College Football Playoff-worth while at the same time entering the toughest part of their schedules.
Welcome to Week 11.

This week, four games will feature top-25 teams, including two with realistic hopes of making the playoff. Those two are No. 8 Oklahoma at No. 13 Baylor (a game that will directly impact the Big 12 championship race) and No. 19 Purdue at No. 4 Ohio State. The Buckeyes can't afford to become the latest top-five victim of the Spoilermakers in 2021, considering they already have a loss to No. 3 Oregon.
The other two games don't feature playoff-eligible teams, but will still have significant impacts in their respective conference championship races. No. 12 Wake Forest will host No. 16 N.C. State in a game that most likely determines who wins the ACC Atlantic division. The other is No. 11 Texas A&M at No. 15 Ole Miss; neither team can challenge for the CFP in 2021, but the Aggies are still in contention for the SEC West division championship, so long as No. 2 Alabama drops one of their two remaining conference games to No. 25 Arkansas or No. 17 Auburn. The Aggies have to take care of their own business first.
Sporting News breaks down how to watch those games and more in Week 11. Here's everything you need to know:
