Weeks like this one are why being a college football fan is so much fun. The Week 7 slate is bursting at the seams with top-25 matchups and rivalry games. You know it's going to be a good Saturday on the gridiron when the first game of the day is a top-five clash between the defending national champions and No. 4 Ohio State.
No. 5 Indiana hosts the Buckeyes in a rematch of the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game and a possible preview of this year's conference title tilt. After that, we get a classic rivalry matchup when No. 6 Alabama faces No. 14 Tennessee in Neyland Stadium.
