    There are not many actual ranked-versus-ranked matchups in Week 6 of the college football season. However, the matchup between the No. 9 Missouri Tigers and No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies is the one game where that is the case.

    The Penn State Nittany Lions, Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Miami Hurricanes, Tennessee Volunteers and Michigan Wolverines are the top 10 teams who play unranked matchups this weekend.

    The biggest upsets of Week 5 were the Ole Miss Rebels losing to the Kentucky Wildcats and the Arizona Wildcats taking down the No. 10 Utah Utes. And on Saturday morning, Paul Finebaum mentioned one game in Week 6 that is not getting enough attention while on "SEC Nation."

    Finebaum issued a warning to fourth-ranked Tennessee ahead of its matchup with the Arkansas Razorbacks. While Finebaum noted that the atmosphere may not be as challenging as it was against the Oklahoma Sooners or NC State Wolfpack, he still called it a "tricky" game.

    "...Going in, I thought they had to beat Alabama," Finebaum said. "That is not necessarily true anymore, but they can't slip up tonight because this is a tricky game. They should beat Arkansas, but it's not as high profile as what Tennessee had at Norman a couple weeks ago or even the NC State game, and they don't need a nightmare."

    Tennessee is a 14-point favorite per ESPN , but it has a three-game losing streak against the Razorbacks, dating back to 2011. The last meeting occurred in 2020, and Arkansas won by a score of 24-13.

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