Welcome to SCtoC's Week 11 coverage of the 2017 College Football Season.
Every game of a team which we cover here will be followed up with a final score and stat summary when it becomes available. This will serve as the preview and game thread for the entire week's games.
We've also provided links to the official twitter accounts of each team in each match up. Often those accounts will have additional updates leading up to, during and after the games.
All times are pacific time. Times and broadcast information could be subject to change.

Previous: Huskies def. Oregon 38-3. Cardinal lost to Washington St. 24-21.
Head Coaches (overall records): Huskies - Chris Peterson (127-27). David Shaw (69-20).
Note(s): The Huskies are the Pac-12's most likely hope to reach the College Football Playoff.

Washington running back Myles Gaskin rushed 17 times for 123 yards and a touchdown in the Huskies' win over Oregon on Nov. 4. Stanford running back Bryce Love rushed 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in his first game back following a leg injury suffered in the Cardinal's win over Oregon on Oct. 14. Love, a Heisman Trophy candidate, is second in the nation in rushing with 1,456 yards on 151 rushes with 12 touchdowns. His 9.6 yards per rush is first among all FBS running backs. The Cardinal had won five straight before falling to Washington St. on Nov. 4.

Head Coaches (overall records): Bears - Earnest Collins, Jr. (23-51). Grizzlies - Bob Stitt (128-75).

Northern Colorado wide receiver Alex Wesley caught 7 balls for 144 yards and a touchdown in the Bears loss to Sacramento St. on Nov. 4. Montana is in a prime position for a FCS playoff spot, and they pretty much control their own destiny. By winning this game and taking care of Montana St. on Nov. 18, they should pretty much punch their ticket to the post season. Grizzlies' wide receiver Makena Simis rushed 19 times for 101 yards in his team's win over Northern Arizona on Nov. 4.

Weber St. Wildcats at Portland St. Vikings

Note(s): SCtoC has reached out to Weber St alum Damian Lillard, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, to see if he will attend this game. The Blazers are in the midst of a home stand and do not play on Nov. 11, therefore, Lillard could have the time off to attend this game. Weber St. quarterback Stefan Cantell completed 21 or 31 passes for 230 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Wildcats' win over Eastern Washington on Nov. 4. Making his first start, Portland St. quarterback Davis Alexander completed 30 of 51 passes for 409 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
