Now the real fun begins.

The next four pressure-packed weeks will determine College Football Playoff participants, conference champions and berths in major bowl games. And with schedules backloaded in many leagues, the best games of the season are still ahead.

Week 11 starts the stretch run with four matchups involving ranked opponents.

The biggest one comes in the Big 12 with No. 4 Oklahoma visiting No. 18 Baylor. The Sooners are one of four unbeatens left in the Bowl Subdivision but face the toughest stretch of the season as they try to improve their standing with the playoff committee.
