Beale Street will be on another level Saturday morning, as ESPN's College GameDay comes to Memphis. And later in the day, two of the American Athletic Conference's premier teams will collide in SMU and Memphis -- two national top-25 opponents.

There isn't much else to say, as the game is expected to be a super-competitive primetime matchup on ABC.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Previewing SMU vs. Memphis

Both teams will be looking to bounce back from close victories. Houston pushed SMU to its limits, but the Mustangs pulled out a 34-31 road win last Thursday. And Tulsa had Memphis' number until a 29-yard missed field goal in the closing seconds resulted in a 42-41 Memphis victory.

Saturday will be one of the best tests for both teams' defensive units. Combined, SMU and Memphis are scoring 82.5 points per game.

The HillTopics has all of your gameday needs for tonight's showdown listed below. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
