There are 20 games featuring a ranked team on the Week 12 college football schedule, including the No. 10 Texas Longhorns versus the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs.

Houston (2-0) narrowly moved ahead of Purdue (2-0) in the Associated Press Top 25 poll Monday, taking over the top spot after season-opening victories over Lehigh and Towson.

This meeting between the Panthers and Fighting Irish will be the 10th in the series' history where both squads are ranked and the first such meeting since 1991.
