College Football Schedule: Week 6 features weak conference schedule

There are few games featuring ranked teams this week, as the bulk of the conference matchups are duds, at least on paper.

Jerry Lai-USA TODAY Sports

We've come an awfully long way in just five weeks of college football. Before week one, few people would have predicted that the matchup between Michigan and Northwestern would be one of, if not the best game on the schedule for week six. However, that's where we are, with that being one of just two games between ranked teams this week and the only one that kicks off before 10 PM on the East Coast.

The other game is in the Pac-12 and pits another pair of surprising unbeaten teams, as Cal travels to Utah for a top-25 contest between the conference's only remaining teams without a loss on the season.

Here are the big games kicking off today.
