Utah (1-2, 1-2 Pac-12) at No. 21 Colorado (4-0, 3-0), 9 a.m., Ch. 5/69:

King is 11th.

Colorado has been a

surprise this season under first-year coach (and Helix High alum) Karl Dorrell. The Buffaloes still have a chance to play for the Pac-12 title next week but they’ll need to win this game and then hope Dorrell’s college alma mater,

UCLA, knocks off USC later at the Rose Bowl. If the Buffs and Trojans both wind up undefeated,

USC would advance based on a higher College

Football Playoff ranking.

No. 9 Georgia (6-2, 6-2, SEC) at No. 25 Missouri (5-3, 5-3), 9 a.m., SEC:

Considering

they’ve been outscored this season, it was surprising to see the Tigers jump into the CFP

Top 25 rankings this week. Then again, it’s also surprising Georgia is ranked as high as it is with two losses. The Bulldogs are technically still alive in the SEC East, though they need to beat the Tigers and Vanderbilt and get some help. But both teams are trying to end the season on high notes and, if there are bowl games, improve their positioning for one of those prizes. The Tigers have won three straight and five of six. RB Larry Rountree III needs 165 yards to reach 1,000 for the season.

No. 25 Wisconsin (2-2, 2-2 Big Ten) at No. 19 Iowa (5-2, 5-2), 12:30 p.m., FS1:

The Hawkeyes

are averaging better than 37 points during their five-game win streak, their longest since the magical 2015 season that saw them go 12-0 in the regular season. Wisconsin has had a bumpy ride. Graham Mertz had one of the best starting debuts in FBS history against Illinois but hasn’t come close to duplicating that 20-for-21 performance. The Badgers, ranked as high as No. 9 before having three games in five weeks canceled because of COVID-19, have scored a combined 13 points in losing their last two.

No. 17 North Carolina (7-3, 6-3 ACC) at No. 10 Miami (8-1, 7-1), 12:30 p.m., Ch. 10:

This game

— Miami’s first at home in 49 days — is going to play a big role in deciding the ACC’s bowl lineup. Both teams still have a shot at getting to the Orange Bowl. Miami would ensure a topthree ACC finish with a win, alongside Notre

Dame and Clemson. North Carolina would get to eight wins for the first time since 2016 with a victory. UNC’s Sam Howell ranks fifth in Pro

Football Focus grading this season — one spot above likely No. 1 overall draft pick Trevor

Lawrence of Clemson — while Miami’s D’Eriq

Boise State (4-1, 4-0 MW) at Wyoming (2-3, 2-3), 3 p.m., CBSSN:

Depending on the results

of Friday’s late game between Nevada and San

Jose State, the Broncos could need a win today to reach the Mountain West championship game next week. They haven’t played since Nov. 21 after games against San Jose State and

UNLV were canceled for COVID-19 reasons.

Wyoming is coming off a loss to New Mexico.
