College football predictions and schedule for every Week 8 game of the 2016 season. Alabama will once again be in the spotlight as they welcome Texas A&M to Bryant-Denny Stadium.

---

Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee: these are the contenders that have stepped into the ring against Alabama only to have the Crimson Tide deliver knock-out punch after knock-out punch. The defending champs will face perhaps their best challenger this week when they host Texas A&M in the week’s only top-1o matchup.

The Crimson Tide have won three straight against the Aggies since Johnny Manziel led A&M to an upset in Tuscaloosa in 2012. Since Manziel left, the Crimson Tide have outscored the Aggies 100-23.

The SEC also has the only other two ranked matchups of the week, as Arkansas will travel to The Plains to face a hot Auburn team, while LSU will welcome Ole Miss to Tiger Stadium.

The action begins on Thursday with a trio of games, including Miami traveling to Virginia Tech and undefeated Boise State hosting BYU.

Below is the complete college football schedule, as well as predictions for each game.
