College Football Week 7 Schedule: Top 25 Teams' TV Schedule, Live Stream Info

The college football season marches to the midseason mark with a slate of Week 7 games that should give the playoff picture a sturdier mold.

The USC Trojans and Georgia Bulldogs were the only teams to tumble out of the Top 25 after Week 6, and 14 teams remain unbeaten. A pair of SEC showdowns between Top 10 teams highlight a Week 7 schedule that features five games between ranked opponents, tied for a season-high.

Here is a guide to catch those games and the rest of the Top 25 teams in action on Saturday.

No. 8 Florida at No. 6 LSU

The Florida Gators will march into Death Valley for a date with the LSU Tigers in a matchup between teams that each sit atop their respective SEC division standings. 

The Gators weren’t expected to be here this quickly. The Tigers were. 

Florida has been one of the surprises of the season under first-year head coach Jim McElwain. As Scott Carter of GatorZone.com noted, “a program so far from where it once was that a climb back to national relevance was just silly talk in 2015.”

But the Gators are 6-0 and have on their résumé convincing wins over Ole Miss and Missouri that catapulted them to the Top 10 this week for the first time since opening the 2013 season at No. 10. Saturday’s game will be the Gators first Top 10 matchup since defeating Florida State 37-26 to finish the 2012 regular season.

But Florida will be without starting quarterback Will Grier, who on Monday was suspended one calendar year after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, according to Edward Aschoff of ESPN. 

With Grier gone, the school’s athletic department announced that the Gators will turn to sophomore Treon Harris, who opened the season as the starter and went 4-2 over the final six games of 2014 in that role. Despite Grier’s absence, the Gators should still be taken seriously, as Woody Wommack of Rivals.com notes.

Harris will be in the midst of a matchup between two of the SEC’s top secondaries, arguably for the claim of DBU—a label for Defensive Back University. Each squad posted a video this spring on why it holds the claim, though Florida deleted its rendition. LSU’s can be viewed here.

The Tigers have emerged as a favorite for the College Football Playoff behind the legs of Heisman Trophy favorite Leonard Fournette, who became the fifth running back in FBS history to rush for 1,000 yards in the first five games of the season.

As a freshman, Fournette gashed Florida for 140 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-27 win at the Swamp last year. He reminded everyone of the performance in a cheeky Instagram post this summer.

Saturday should mark a renewal of one of the great cross-division SEC rivalries that has been largely one-sided since the Tim Tebow era at Florida. The Tigers have won four of the past five meetings and are 6.5-point favorites, but McElwain’s bunch has embodied a bravado that should keep it close.

No. 7 Michigan State at No. 12 Michigan

If the Gators are the most ahead of schedule in their proverbial rebuild, the Michigan Wolverines are right behind them. 

First-year coach Jim Harbaugh has his team well-positioned for a run at the playoffs, but Michigan faces a rugged roadblock this weekend against the Michigan State Spartans. The Wolverines have lost six of seven to their in-state rivals, but Harbaugh said his squad has put recent woes behind them, per Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com.

"

“(I) think about 'The Lion King,' Simba gets hit over the head and (he's told) 'the past can hurt,' " Harbaugh said. "'You can either run from it or embrace it and learn from it.' 

"Those seem like very wise words."

"

After a Week 1 loss to No. 4 Utah, Michigan is 5-1 and coming off three consecutive shutouts for the first time since 1980, according to the Associated Press, including a 38-0 rout of a very good Northwestern Wildcats team. 

The Wolverines have balanced their 29.5 points per game with one of the best defenses in college football. According to Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press, Michigan ranks first in third-down defense (18.8 percent),  second in total defense (181.3 yards per game), second in pass efficiency defense (76.6) and passing yards allowed (115.5 yards per game), third in rush defense (65.8 yards per game) and fifth in first downs allowed (75).

Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports writes that the Wolverines’ early success should come as no surprise.

"

Harbaugh has followed the same blueprint he -- and his staff -- used to transform his University of San Diego, Stanford and San Francisco 49er teams. His squads are relentlessly competitive and tough -- just like their leader.

"

While the Wolverines have been on the rise, the Spartans have steadily slipped. They opened the season at No. 5 but have dropped to seventh after narrow wins over Rutgers, Purdue and Oregon. Head coach Mark Dantonio, however, told WJR’s Paul W. Smith Show (h/t MLive.com) that he views his team’s performance as a sign of perseverance.

“We just continued to push through, and I think that's the mark of a champion," Dantonio said.

Michigan State's beleaguered offensive line has seen a slew of injuries, which will create challenges in protecting quarterback Connor Cook. And the Spartans defense, currently ranked 89th against the pass, certainly isn't what it was a year ago. But if it is able to halt Michigan's run game and force a high number of attempts from quarterback Jake Rudock, it may be able to turn the tempo in the Spartans' favor.

ESPN's College GameDay, the network’s popular pregame show, will be on site in Ann Arbor Saturday.
