Six different games will have AP top 25 ranked teams on both sides of the field as the Week 7 college football action gets underway today, setting up another upheaval in the polls midway through the season, and now College GameDay has locked in their picks.
Consequential matchups in the SEC, the Big 12, and the Big Ten will once again force pollsters to reassess the national rankings, and will give College Football Playoff selectors some key information when forming their 12-team bracket in the near future.

Who We Like in College Football's Week 7
Ohio State over Indiana. The Hoosiers look more beatable this time around, and their secondary should have some issues containing Jeremiah Smith on a consistent basis.
Texas over Florida. Arch Manning avenges the loss to the Gators, who are facing a three-game losing skid after that great start.
LSU over Mississippi State. Already at two losses, Lane Kiffin’s team has the defense to contain Kamario Taylor and take a needed positive step in SEC play.
Miami over Florida State. Mike Norvell moves one step closer to unemployment against a Hurricanes offense that leads college football in scoring.
Alabama over Tennessee. Bama’s defense has the bodies up front to repel the Vols’ efficient ground game.
Ole Miss over Missouri. Mizzou will test the Rebels’ secondary in Austin Simmons’ return to Oxford, but Trinidad Chambliss outguns him at home.
Notre Dame over BYU. Not having LJ Martin in the backfield deprives the Cougars of a vital playmaker against a strong Irish defense.
