Historic Series Take Center Stage
Week 7 features several games that carry the feel of classic rivalries even if the timing is earlier than usual. The third Saturday in October brings Alabama and Tennessee together as top-20 teams with strong playoff implications. Georgia welcomes Auburn in the Deep South's oldest rivalry, where the visitors have managed only 60 total points across their past seven trips to the home stadium and have not won there since 2005.
Series Milestones Highlighted
Ohio State travels to Indiana for the 100th meeting in a series that began in 1901. The Wildcats have won 17 straight Sunflower Showdowns against Kansas. North Carolina and Duke renew their long-standing matchup, while Florida State heads to Miami as three-touchdown underdogs.
Recent History Adds Tension
Last season Indiana defeated Ohio State 13-10 in the Big Ten title game. Auburn enters with a nine-game losing streak to Georgia. These early tests allow programs to measure themselves before the traditional final weekend of the regular season arrives.
