ESPN will air the only matchup of undefeated teams this week when the NC State Wolfpack and Clemson Tigers face off (Oct. 20 at 3:30 p.m. ET). NC State will be trying to reverse history, as they are winless at Clemson since 2002, including an overtime loss in 2016, and have just one victory against the Tigers in the last 14 matchups.
ESPN will feature another matchup of ranked conference foes in primetime, as No. 5 LSU hosts No. 22 Mississippi State in an SEC West showdown under the lights of Tiger Stadium (Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. ET). The two teams have split their last four meetings, including the Bulldogs earning their most decisive victory in the 111 matchups between the two squads last season with a 37-7 victory.
