1. No. 9 Missouri (4-0) at No. 25 Texas A&M (4-1), Noon, ABC
Does this game deserve the top spot? It’s more or less here by default. Missouri is lingering in the top 10 despite some wobbly wins over Boston College and Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M is barely hanging on in the Top 25, tied with UNLV for the final spot. Yet it’s still an important game. Is Mizzou a legit top-10 team or merely a paper tiger? Do the Aggies have enough to work their way back into Playoff contention? I get it if the knee-jerk reaction is to wince at this being the best game of the weekend, and maybe I’m a college football populist for this take, but I like that an early October meeting between Mizzou and a rebuilding A&M has some meaningful big-picture stakes involved.
