🤔 When will the undefeated's fall?

Fifteen teams remain unblemished through Week 6, three more than last season. Our own Stan Becton predicted when each undefeated will suffer their first loss of the year.

Here are the four teams he has going down in Week 7:
*Undefeated teams are bolded

  • No. 6 Oklahoma vs. Texas
    • While Texas dropped out of the AP poll for the first time since 2023 this past week, it is still a dangerous team that will certainly be amped for a rivalry matchup with the Sooners. The Longhorn's season could be on the line this weekend, as no team made the College Football Playoff last season with three losses. 
  • No. 7 Indiana at No. 3 Oregon
    • One team must walk away with their first loss in this matchup, and Becton predicts the Hoosiers will fall in a tough road match with the Ducks. In Indiana's only road game this season, it squeezed past a the Big Ten's worst passing offense by just five points. Curt Cignietti's squad will have a tall hill to climb if they want to escape Eugene undefeated. 
  • No. 14 Missouri vs. No. 8 Alabama
    • The Tide are one of the hottest teams in the nation, knocking off Georgia on the road before taking down Vanderbilt last weekend. Missouri hasn't been tested this season, owning the worst strength of schedule in the SEC. 
  • North Texas vs. No. 24 South Florida
    • North Texas has the 132nd ranked strength of schedule — fifth worst in the FBS. Meanwhile, South Florida has already taken down two ranked teams in Boise State and Florida, while also suffering a loss to now-No. 2 Miami. The Bulls have been battle-tested far more then the Mean Green, and in a strong American conference vying for a Group of 5 CFP bid, this game could be pivotal come December.

🚍 GameDay headed to Eugene

The ESPN College GameDay crew is headed to Eugene, Oregon for the only top 10 matchup of the week between No. 3 Oregon and No. 7 Indiana. The two teams have only met three times in their long history and just once this century in 2004. 

The Ducks are coming off a bye week, two weeks removed from upsetting then-No. 3 Penn State in Happy Valley in 2OT. It seems as though Dan Lanning has found another gem under center, as Dante Moore has propelled himself to the top of Heisman discussions with 14 touchdowns and just one interception through five games. The redshirt sophomore has been sacked just once all season and is connecting on almost 75% of his passes. 

On the opposite sideline, the Hoosiers are once again putting together another strong season, ranked in the top 10 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history. College football fans should be in store for a quarterback duel with Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, also sitting atop the Heisman watch. He has thrown for 16 touchdowns to just one interception, also tacking on two scores with his legs. 

However, as shiny as the two quarterbacks have looked this season, each will be facing a top-10 pass defense in the FBS. Oregon's is second in the nation, allowing a ridiculously low 104.8 passing yards per game, while Indiana sits at eighth, allowing 157.3. The Big Ten clash will feature two top-10 scoring offenses versus two top-10 scoring defenses, making this afternoon matchup must-watch TV.

🍿 Week 7 games to watch

It's sad to think we are at the halfway point of the season, but that just means the stakes get higher and higher as we inch closer to the CFP rankings. We have some pivotal conference clashes this weekend that will certainly reverberate come playoff season. Let's break it down:

The noon slate kicks off Week 7 with a bang as we get two ranked matchups involving two top-10 teams. No. 1 Ohio State goes on the road to No. 17 Illinois as the Fighting Illini look to knock off the Buckeyes for the first time since 2007 — OSU has won nine straight by an average of 24.4 points. Over in the SEC, No. 8 Alabama travels to No. 14 Missouri as the Tigers try to stay perfect. 

But the afternoon slate is where Week 7 shines as No. 3 Oregon and No. 7 Indiana matchup in a pivotal Big Ten showdown in Eugene. At the same time, the 121st edition of the Red River Rivalry between No. 6 Oklahoma and Texas will be going down at the Cotton Bowl Stadium. The Longhorns are in desperate need of a win after suffering their second loss of the season to unranked Florida last weekend. 

To close out Week 7 in the night slate, a historic Rose Bowl rivalry is reignited between No. 15 Michigan and Southern Cal as the Wolverines try to stay perfect in the Big Ten. Also at 7:30 p.m., Auburn hosts No. 10 Georgia in the 130th rendition of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry, dating back to 1892.
