There are only two matchups between ranked teams this week, and one of them is tonight at 7:30 PM. Fifth-ranked Auburn travels to the Little Apple to take on Bill Snyder's Wildcats. Kansas State is currently sitting at 20th in the AP Poll, so this isn't exactly a cakewalk for last year's national runner-up. Another note on K-State:
Half of the K-State roster vs. Auburn -- 58 players -- will be former or current walk-ons. Fifty-freaking-eight. http://t.co/CJXIvsEAsY

The other game between ranked teams pits #22 Clemson against top-ranked Florida State in Tallahassee. Jameis Winston's half-game suspension could add some spice to this rivalry, although the Seminoles are loaded.
Around the B1G, we have yet another week for conference teams to embarrass represent themselves on national television. Iowa visits Pittsburgh, Maryland takes on former Big East foe Syracuse (on ESPN3 lololol), Utah travels to the Big House against Michigan, and Nebraska hosts Miami in a classic matchup. Indiana also travels to Columbia to take on #18 Missouri, but after losing to Bowling Green, I'm not sure hopes are very high in Bloomington right now. Here's the full schedule:
