With the release of the initial College Football Playoff Rankings for the 2019 season this past week, the race toward the national championship is hitting the home stretch. The picture becoming crystal clear with the rankings release, the time has come to truly separate the contenders from pretenders as we navigate through the month of November. The much-anticipated action we have on tap in Week 11 will certainly play a huge part in creating that separation.
Kicking off the Week 11 action on Saturday will be a fourth-ranked ranked Penn State team that will be out to justify its spot in the initial CFP Rankings when it takes on undefeated Minnesota of the Big Ten West on the road. Then, of course, mid-afternoon will bring us the latest edition of the "Game of the Century" as No. 2 LSU squares off with No. 3 Alabama on the SEC on CBS in a game that once again not only carries SEC West implications, but national title ones as well. In the evening, No. 5 Clemson and No. 6 Georgia will aim to boost their resumes in the hopes of not being on the outside looking in for much longer.
There's a lot to cover with those games and everything in between. CBS Sports will be here every step of the way to update you with the latest scores, highlights and storylines throughout the day. All times Eastern

Jalen Hurts throws it into triple coverage, but it doesn't matter when CeeDee Lamb is in the vicinity. Lamb hauls in the 48-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring for Oklahoma.
Ed Orgeron is fired up after LSU's win over Alabama
Here's Illinois capping off its 25-point comeback. Largest in school history.
Wow, Illinois caps off largest comeback in school history with a 37-34 win at Michigan State. The Illini scored a go-ahead touchdown with five seconds left and are now bowl eligible for the first time under Lovie Smith.
Wisconsin survives a stellar fourth quarter effort from Iowa to come away with a 24-22 win. Badgers star running back Jonathan Taylor ran for a mind-numbing 250 yards on the ground. Jack Coan also threw a pair of touchdown passes for Wisconsin.
LSU survives second half rally from Alabama to come away with a 46-41 win. It was the most points that Alabama has given up since Oct. 25, 2003 against Tennessee in a five-overtime game. Clyde Edwards-Helaire scored four touchdowns for the Tigers, including three on the ground. Joe Burrow also threw for 393 yards and three touchdowns to give No. 2 LSU the victory.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire makes it three rushing touchdowns for the game. He keeps his legs churning and runs through Trevon Diggs. LSU leads Alabama 46-34 with just 1:37 left.
Tua finds Jerry Jeudy in the end zone on 4th-and-2 to keep Alabama's hopes alive. The Tide trail LSU 39-34 with 5:32 to go in Tuscaloosa.
Game on in Madison. I counted out Iowa a bit too soon it seems. The Hawkeyes made a fourth quarter rally and came to within 24-22, but were unable to convert the two-point conversion. About three minutes remaining.
Miami quarterback Jarren Williams throws an ACC single-game record six touchdown passes in a 52-27 win over Louisville. Somehow, Louisville outgained Miami 496-449 in total offense.
Another touchdown for LSU's Clyde Edwards-Helaire as he punches in another one on the ground. That's three total touchdowns on the day for Edward-Helaire. LSU leads Alabama 39-27 in the fourth quarter.
A walk-off filed goal gives Texas a 27-24 win over Kansas State. However, Texas had a go-ahead touchdown that was called back by an illegal shift penalty. If you had Texas and the points, that penalty was ... significant.
Virginia Tech beats Wake Forest 36-17. Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster gets lifted up by his players on the field.
Bama creeping back in this. One-score game in T-Town.
Wisconsin has extended its lead over Iowa 21-6. The Hawkeyes have yet to convert a third down. May need a non-offensive touchdown to get back into this one. Otherwise, might be curtains as we wind down the third quarter.
Quietly, Arizona State has chipped into its deficit against USC. What was a 28-7 game is now 28-20 in the third quarter. Trojans haven't scored any points in almost 20 minutes of game time.
Sure!
In non-Alabama news, Wisconsin has moved ahead of Iowa 14-6 as we near the half. This game has gone exactly as you'd expect, but the Hawkeyes are exchanging touchdowns for field goals, which isn't great.
Tua Tagovailoa gets picked off in the final minute of the second quarter. LSU makes Alabama pay with a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Clyde Edwards-Helaire. It's the first touchdown catch of Edwards-Helaire's career. Tigers lead 33-13 at the half.
Play was reviewed and confirmed to be a catch
LSU-Bama is pure entertainment.
Tua is back. The Alabama quarterback delivers a 64-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith, but the Crimson Tide miss the extra point. 16-13 LSU in the second quarter.
USC leads Arizona State 28-7. Quarterback Kedon Slovis had 297 pass yards and four touchdowns ... in the first quarter.
Iowa leads Wisconsin 3-0 after the Badgers missed a field goal. The Badgers look really pedestrian and quarterback Jack Coan can't get much going. Iowa's been allergic to touchdowns this year, but at some point Wisconsin has to wake up to avoid the upset.
Kansas State leads Texas 14-0 as we wind down the first quarter. Normally that wouldn't be too stunning but the Longhorns were as much as a touchdown favorite at home. Okay, then.
