Key Games in Week Seven:

Tennessee at Georgia

The Vols come into Athens sitting at 4-1 and ready to duplicate their beat down of the Bulldogs for the second straight year. The Dawgs enter as the number one team in the nation and will be looking to keep their title hopes alive and exact some revenge on the Vols in the process.

The Vols will rely on their strong ground game and Arian Foster to carry the day. They have to find a way to keep Georgia's offense off the field and Foster will be a big part of that.

The Dawgs on the other hand will try and slow down Foster and not turn the ball over like they did in Knoxville a year ago. One big difference is Knowshon Moreno wasn't a big part of the offense when the Dawgs lost to the Vols last season.

The Vols will come in with a lot of confidence stemming from last season's win over the Dawgs, but don't look for a repeat performance this time. Playing at home and undefeated, Georgia will be ready for this game and look for Moreno and company to come away with the win.

Winner: Georgia

Oklahoma vs. Texas (Dallas)

The annual Red River Rivalry brings us another soon to be great game. The Sooners and the Longhorns will come into this game undefeated and Big 12 title hopes on the line.

The Sooners will be rolling along with Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray and will be looking to continue their dominance over the Longhorns in recent years. Bradford should be able to exploit the revamped Longhorn secondary.

The Longhorns on the other hand will be looking to knock the Sooners off of the Big 12 pedestal in 2008. How big of an impact can new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp make in his first year? The answer to that question could be the difference in the ball game defending Bradford and Murray.

In what looks to be another great game in this rivalry, the big question will be can the Longhorn defense that struggled at times last season stop the Sooner offense enough to upset the Sooners? Texas has a great shot at the upset here, but the Sooners have too many returning players and too many weapons. They should get the job done in a close game.

Winner: Oklahoma

LSU at Florida

Last year's classic game between the Tigers and the Gators in Baton Rouge will be tough to top, but this won't be far behind. The Tigers will come in with one loss and be looking to get right back in the national title hunt with an upset of Florida. The Gators will be trying to stay undefeated on the season.

LSU will bring a very talented team into Gainesville, but their new quarterback will be stepping into a whole new situation when he heads to Gainesville. It will be crucial for the LSU defense to keep the powerful Florida offense in check so the new quarterback doesn't have to light up the scoreboard to win.

The Gators will be looking to stay undefeated and keep their title hopes alive with a win. Tebow and company should be able to move the ball and put up some points to keep the pressure on LSU's offense to keep up.

While LSU's defense is more than capable of keeping them in the game, don't look for LSU's offense to be able to keep up in this one. Florida's offense will be too good in the long run.

Winner: Florida
