Week 11 might be the most important week of 2017’s regular season, maybe even topping HATE WEEK in overall stakes, if not raw emotion. As always, it takes a while to get rolling, but Saturday is so loaded, “three top-10 games” really undersells it.

Below, the Watch Grid attempts to sort your weekend based on each time slot’s watchability.
Early shift
The almost certain Big Ten East title game, backed by a group that would’ve been a good-enough heap of East Coast nooners anyway. That Big 12 game could end up being for a spot in the conference title game.
Middle shift
Either UGA clamps even harder on the No. 1 ranking and sustains a scenario in which it loses the SEC title game and still makes the playoff, or Auburn’s bid to become the first-ever two-loss playoff team is officially a thing. Elsewhere, Wisconsin faces its toughest test yet (by far?).
Pre-late shift
Bama stomping on MSU will probably not be funny, but here’s what will be: That’ll suddenly become Bama’s best win on the entire year so far.
Actual late shift
One rule of The Watch Grid: Only one WATCH THIS game at a time. That rule has to be broken this week, obviously. Either the Canes shut down their many skeptics, or the Irish move within two wins of a certain playoff trip, and there’s a Big 12 eliminator at the same damn time. Even the worst game in this group has Khalil Tate in it. Let’s get after it.
