College Football Week 7 Schedule: TV and Live Stream Info for Every Game
It is hard to imagine things getting any crazier than the past week of college football, but Week 7 will certainly try.
Week 6 saw a number of ranked teams go down, including five of the Top Eight teams in the country. This caused a major shift in the polls and in current projections for the College Football Playoff. The SEC West still has three teams near the top of the rankings, but they are not exactly the teams you would expect, as Auburn, Ole Miss and Mississippi State are the undefeated squads.
This week is certain to create just as much excitement with a few more big-time conference matchups throughout the weekend.

Top Games to Watch
No. 2 Auburn vs. No. 3 Mississippi State
Many people have a problem with the preseason polls because they often keep more deserving teams from cracking the top until the teams ahead of them lose.
Heading into Week 7, Florida State remains the No. 1 team in the nation after winning last year's national title. However, Auburn has arguably been even better this season, excelling on both sides of the ball. The team showed off its complete effort with a 41-7 win over LSU.
ESPN's Paul Finebaum believes the Tigers should be the No. 1 team in the nation:
The statistics back this up, as ESPN's Football Power Index has a decent separation between Auburn and the rest of the country:
Auburn is the most efficient team in the nation and one of just five teams with a plus-10 rating on both offense and defense. That means each unit makes a big contribution toward blowing teams away, which makes it no surprise the Tigers have outscored teams by an average of 27.6 points per game this season.
However, another one of those five balanced teams is Mississippi State, which will look to continue its recent track record of knocking off Top 10 teams when it hosts Auburn.
The Bulldogs went on the road to beat then-No. 8 LSU before knocking off then-No. 6 Texas A&M at home. In both games, the squad went up at least three touchdowns before giving up some late scores to make it appear closer than it was.
It is no surprise ESPN will be on hand for the festivities in Starkville:
Auburn has been great this season, but this will be a tough battle on the road to remain undefeated.
No. 9 TCU vs. No. 5 Baylor
Baylor has done a good job running up the score on opponents once again to start this season, but the Bears have not faced anyone of note.
In fact, none of the opponents on the schedule so far have a winning record on the season.
On the other hand, TCU cared enough to put another power-conference opponent on the schedule, defeating Minnesota 30-7. Interestingly, that is the Gophers' only loss in five games.
TCU continued to impress with an upset win over No. 4 Oklahoma thanks to 318 passing yards and two touchdowns by Trevone Boykin. This was not a fluke for head coach Gary Patterson, who is used to this type of success against top teams, according to Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports:
The Horned Frogs have a lot of talent and have a chance to surprise a Baylor team that is not ready for this type of opponent.
There is also some extra motivation for the two teams in a game that has become a bit of a rivalry in the Big 12. Last season, Patterson had some choice words for Baylor coach Art Briles. "If that's what class is, then I don't want to be it," Patterson told reporters after the game.
Thus, it is no surprise Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty has been looking forward to this game.
"Really even before, every time we play it seems like we don't like each other, I guess that’s the making of a rivalry," the quarterback explained in a press conference earlier in the week. "We circle them on the schedule when it comes out."
As if there wasn't enough intrigue already, this game could be physical from start to finish on Saturday.
