# College Football Week 6 Games: 10 Biggest Matchups to Watch

**Las Vegas, Nevada, 2026-10-07.** College football Week 6 features two ranked-vs-ranked matchups, led by Georgia vs Alabama. CFB Vibes ranks the 10 best games with kickoff times, TV, streaming, radio and model predictions.

## 10 Best College Football Week 6 Games to Watch

College football Week 6 games are headlined by No. 2 Georgia at No. 6 Alabama, one of two ranked-vs-ranked matchups in the CFB Vibes top 10 games to watch.

The list ranks the week's two games between ranked teams, then eight in which a ranked team is favored by no more than 80%. The CFB Vibes model simulates each game 10,000 times to set its win probability.

| Rank | Matchup | Kickoff Time | TV | Spread | CFB Vibes Win Probability |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | No. 2 Georgia at No. 6 Alabama | Sat., 7:30 p.m. | ABC | Alabama -1.5 | Alabama 55% |
| 2 | No. 21 UCLA at No. 13 Oregon | Sat., 3:30 p.m. | CBS | Oregon -11.5 | Oregon 76% |
| 3 | No. 19 USC at Penn State | Sat., 7:30 p.m. | NBC | Penn State -1.5 | Penn State 55% |
| 4 | No. 22 Houston at Kansas State | Sat., 3:30 p.m. | FOX | Kansas State -2.5 | Kansas State 56% |
| 5 | No. 20 Iowa at Washington | Fri., 9 p.m. | Not listed yet | Washington -3 | Washington 57% |
| 6 | Texas A&M at No. 14 Missouri | Sat., noon | ABC | Missouri -3.5 | Missouri 59% |

| 10 | No. 1 Texas vs. Oklahoma | Sat., 3:30 p.m. | ABC | Texas -7.5 | Texas 69% |

*Times Eastern. Ranks in team names are the AP Top 25 (Week 6). "Spread" is the betting market's point spread, averaged across books, so it can land on a quarter point. "Win Probability" is the CFB Vibes model's pregame chance to win as of Oct. 7, 2026, the same number each game page shows. Both move until kickoff.*

## How CFB Vibes Ranks the Biggest Games

- Up to six games between two AP Top 25 teams, highest combined ranking first, then games in which a ranked team is favored by 80% or less, closest first, until there are ten. That order is the Rank column.
- Win probabilities come from the CFB Vibes model, which simulates each game 10,000 times from the betting market's point spreads. A game with no line is not priced and cannot make the list.
- The spread is that same market line, averaged across books. The team with the minus sign is favored to win by that many points.
- TV and streaming are the listings the site's schedule feed carried for each game, the same ones on every team's How to Watch page. A game with no carrier listed yet says so.
- Radio is each program's season-long network and flagship station. Availability can vary by game.
