College football’s Week 7 is here, and the stakes are higher than ever. With conference rivalries heating up, some teams are fighting for redemption after brutal Week 6 losses—but here’s where it gets controversial: can they bounce back, or will the pressure crush their season?
Let’s kick things off with No. 8 Alabama, who’s riding a wave of momentum after securing a 2-0 SEC record with wins over Vanderbilt (30-14) and Georgia (24-21). Now, they’re eyeing a third consecutive victory against a ranked opponent, this time No. 14 Missouri. But here’s the twist: despite being favored, the Crimson Tide’s projected margin of victory is less than a touchdown. Heading into Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Alabama holds a 63.4% win probability, with a predicted final score of 28-24. Is this a trap game for the Tide, or will they prove their dominance once again? Catch the action live on WEAR at 11:00 a.m. and decide for yourself.
Switching gears, No. 25 Florida State is in a precarious position as they host unranked Pittsburgh in Tallahassee. The Seminoles are 0-2 in ACC play, and their quarterback, Tommy Castellanos, has thrown five interceptions in his last three starts—a far cry from his early-season form. And this is the part most people miss: despite their struggles, FSU still holds a 77.1% win probability against the Panthers, who are fresh off a blowout win over Boston College (48-7). Will Castellanos find his rhythm, or will Pittsburgh pull off the upset? Tune in on ESPN at 11:00 a.m. to find out. The projected score? Florida State 42, Pittsburgh 20.
Meanwhile, unranked Florida is riding high after a stunning Week 6 victory over the Texas Longhorns (29-21). This weekend, they face another Texas powerhouse, No. 5 Texas A&M, at Kyle Field. Historically, the Gators have won two of their three matchups in College Station, but this time, the odds are stacked against them—they enter the game with just a 26.1% win probability. Is this a recipe for an upset, or will Texas A&M’s dominance prevail? The projected score is Florida 27, Texas A&M 30, but don’t count the Gators out just yet. Watch it unfold on ESPN at 6:00 p.m.
Finally, Auburn returns to Jordan-Hare Stadium after a bye week to face No. 10 Georgia in one of college football’s most storied rivalries. The Tigers have struggled in conference play this season, falling to Oklahoma and Texas A&M, and now they face a daunting challenge: Georgia has won the last eight meetings straight. Can Auburn break the streak, or will the Bulldogs continue their dominance? This game is more than just a matchup—it’s a battle for pride. Who do you think will come out on top?
