    There are not many intriguing, ranked matchups in Week 6. One of the few games between ranked teams involves the Missouri Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies.

    Other SEC matchups include the Tennessee Volunteers at the Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers at the Georgia Bulldogs, Ole Miss Rebels at the South Carolina Gamecocks, Alabama Crimson Tide at the Vanderbilt Commodores and Florida Gators at the UCF Knights.

    On a recent " Always College Football " episode, Greg McElroy released his "Giant Killers" for Week 6. He listed Arkansas, Florida, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Texas Tech Red Raiders as his "Giant Killers."

    McElroy quickly clarified that while he picked Tennessee to win, the Volunteers did not want to mess around in Fayetteville. McElroy was in the broadcast booth for a game at the venue in 2021 with Arkansas facing the No. 15 Texas Longhorns, which the Razorbacks ended up winning 40-21.

    ESPN favors the Volunteers by 13.5 points on the road.

    "I already told you I'm taking Tennessee, but I wouldn't want to mess around with Arkansas," McElroy said. "You catch them on the wrong night. I've done a game there in Fayetteville before when Texas came to town, and Texas wasn't as good as Tennessee, and they got run out of the gym. Be careful; Arkansas is going to be bouncing off the walls because of that. It's a huge opportunity for Sam Pittman."

    No. 4 Tennessee enters the matchup with its highest AP ranking since 2022, wherein it was the second-ranked team in the country. Despite recent rebirths, Tennessee, the Ole Miss Rebels and Missouri Tigers have never made the College Football Playoff.

    Tennessee and Arkansas meet for the first time since 2020 this season. The Razorbacks have a three-game winning streak in the series dating back to 2011

    Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN+.
