College football Week 6: TCU-Kansas, Texas A&M-Alabama highlight the biggest games

With the Red River Rivalry and No. 1 Alabama hosting Texas A&M both taking place this weekend, naturally College GameDay is heading to Lawrence, Kansas, on Saturday.

In what would have seemed like a misprint just a few weeks ago, the No. 19 Jayhawks welcome in not only GameDay but the freshly ranked TCU Horned Frogs. The game features two of the most exciting stories of the season to date, and while many eyes will be on Oklahoma-Texas in Dallas, the matchup gives the Big 12 a second marquee game in early October.

Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher and Alabama's Nick Saban will finally meet after a long offseason of trading words -- both nice and not-so-nice -- but only Alabama comes into the game ranked.
