The Red River Rivalry features two quarterback prospects in Manning and Mateer. Both could use impressive tape in this high-pressure game to help their draft grades. Simmons is a first-round prospect who will be tested by dual-threat Mateer. McDonald could be a first-round pick, and he could be tested by Coleman, who could be a top-20 pick next April.
Maiava and Becht could be mid-round quarterback prospects with upside potential. Rojas was impressive in 2024 before he got hurt in 2025. He needs to be healthy and productive to rehab his draft stock.
UCLA vs. Oregon; Oct. 10, 3:30 PM ET CBS
The Prospects:
UCLA
- QB Nico Iamaleava, No. 9
- OT Garrett DiGiorgio, No. 72
Oregon
- QB Dante Moore, No. 5
- WR Evan Stewart, No. 7
- C Japan Underground, No. 72
- DE Matayo Uiagalelei, No. 10
- DT Bear Alexander, No. 1
- DT A’Mauri Washington, No. 52
- OLB Teitum Tuioti, No. 44
- LB Devon Jackson, No. 9
- S Koi Perich, No. 3
The Matchups:
Moore’s status was in question after he suffered a nasty concussion against USC. Even without Moore, this will be a great draft evaluation game, with Iamaleava taking on an Oregon defense with a defensive line made up of future NFL players. The Ducks defensive front has shined this year, and could use a more consistent and productive performance to help their draft grade.
Georgia vs. Alabama; October 10, 7:30 PM ET ABC
The Prospects:
Georgia
- FS KJ Bolden, No. 4
- CB Eillis Robinson IV, No. 1
- LB Raylen Wilson, No. 5
- OF Gabe Harris Jr., No. 0
- LB Chris Cole, No. 9
- QB Gunner Stockton, No. 14
- OT Earnest Greene, No. 71
Alabama
- OLB Yhonzae Pierre, No. 0
- LB Caleb Woodson, No. 7
- CB Zabien Brown, No. 2
- SS Keon Sabb, No. 3
- FS Bray Hubbard, No. 18
- WR Ryan Coleman-Williams, No. 1
- OT Jayvin James, No. 54
- C Racin Delgatty, No. 55
The Matchups:
There is plenty of NFL defensive talent on display in this rivalry game. The best draft matchup is Coleman-Williams taking Robinson and Bolden. Georgia has young talent to test Alabama’s secondary. Greene had a disappointing season in 2025, so he could use some good tape against a potential first-rounder in Pierre.
