Ohio State vs. Oregon highlights Week 7 college football matchups

The GIST: You may still be recovering from last week’s upsets, but Week 7 is coming in hot. We’re now halfway through the regular season, and a Top-5 matchup between new conference rivals isn’t the only game with sky-high stakes tomorrow.

No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) vs. No. 3 Oregon Ducks (5-0), 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC): The Buckeyes started the season with astronomical hype, but their weak schedule has made it hard to prove themselves. That all changes tomorrow when they visit the Ducks — led by Heisman candidate quarterback (QB) Dillon Gabriel — for a matchup with major postseason implications.

No. 1 Texas Longhorns (5-0) vs. No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners (4-1), 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC): The Red River Rivalry looks a little different this year as both teams bailed on the Big 12 to join the SEC this season. Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers is officially back from a Week 3 abdominal injury and is hungry to reenter the Heisman conversation.

No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions (5-0) vs. USC Trojans (3-2), 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS): Don’t be fooled by the Trojans’ shocking last-minute loss to Minnesota last week — this could still be tricky for the visiting Nittany Lions. Penn State’s offense is absolutely cooking, but they haven’t taken their show on the road in over a month, and USC rarely lets teams push them around in the Coliseum.

No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels (5-1) vs. No. 13 LSU Tigers (4-1), 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC): This should be a shootout between two of the nation’s most explosive offenses, helmed by elite QBs in the Rebels’ Jaxson Dart and the Tigers’ Garrett Nussmeier. Expect touchdowns on touchdowns as these squads duke it out for the upper hand in the cutthroat SEC.
