College Football Playoff picks after Week 7

Week 7 of the college football season saw three more teams fall from the ranks of the undefeated. Oregon lost to Indiana, Oklahoma lost to Texas and Missouri fell at home to Alabama.

The Hoosiers reached the College Football Playoff in 2024, but not without questions after losing their only game against a ranked opponent last season. IU silenced some critics by beating the Ducks in Eugene. The Hoosiers' defense held the Ducks to just 267 total yards and forced two turnovers.

The Hoosiers join Ohio State as the only remaining undefeated Big Ten teams. The Buckeyes' lone blip against Illinois was allowing 16 points when they hadn't given up more than nine this season. In the 34-16 win, Ohio State QB Julian Sayin was 19-of-27 for 166 yards and 2 scores.

The SEC also has just two unbeaten teams remaining. Texas took care of business at home, beating Florida 34-17. Ole Miss, which entered the week as the highest-ranked SEC team, struggled against Washington. QB Trinidad Chambliss accounted for three scores, and the Rebels' defense held up just well enough. Ole Miss will get tougher tests over the next two weeks with trips to face Georgia and OU.
