College Football

Saturday’s primetime showdown in Death Valley is officially a top-10 matchup according to polls. The Coaches Poll and the AP poll kept Clemson at No. 5 and NC State moved up No. 10 to seal the marker for the event that will bring ESPN’s College GameDay to town (the game at 7:30 p.m. on ABC).  It was Georgia’s turn to be a little shakier this week with a 39-22 home win over Kent State, while Alabama (55-3 over Vandy) and Ohio State (52-21 over Wisconsin) cruised in conference play and Michigan held off Maryland, 34-27, at home.
