Double-digit upsets such as Vanderbilt beating Alabama and Arkansas taking down Tennessee highlighted Week 6, and all that chaos helps set up a massive Week 7 college football schedule. There’s at least one game every day from Tuesday to Saturday and the Saturday slate is arguably the best of the year thus far, highlighted by No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Oregon. The Buckeyes are 4-point favorites in the latest Week 7 college football odds via SportsLine consensus.
Other notable Week 7 college football lines include No. 1 Texas vs. No. 18 Oklahoma (+14.5) in the first ever SEC version of the Red River Rivalry, No. 9 Ole Miss vs. No. 13 LSU (+3) and No. 4 Penn State vs. USC (+5.5) in the 3:30 p.m. ET CBS game.

Top college football predictions for Week 7
One of the top college football picks Marshall is recommending for Week 7: He’s backing No. 7 Alabama (-21.5) to bounce back from its shocking loss to Vanderbilt and win and cover against South Carolina at noon ET on Saturday. He also likes the Over (51) in that matchup.
“Even with the loss to Vandy, the Tide are still 13-7 ATS since late 2022 and they’re also on 12-2-1 Over run since early last season,” Marshall told SportsLine. “The Gamecocks are 2-1 as dogs this season, but were only 2-5 when getting points in 2023.” See which other picks to make here.
