No week of college football up to this point of the season will offer up more guaranteed changes in the top 25 than Week 7.
Six games will take place between ranked opponents, five of which have at least one undefeated team. Three of those matchups are battles of unbeatens, including two featuring top-10 opponents.
Needless to say, the Week 8 AP and Coaches polls will look a lot different at the top following Saturday, especially at the top.
That starts with No. 3 Alabama at No. 6 Tennessee, a rare undefeated meeting in the "Third Saturday in October" rivalry and first ranked matchup since 2016. The Crimson Tide are coming off a sloppy victory over Texas A&M without Bryce Young, and will look to get him back against Heisman Trophy hopeful Hendon Hooker and the Volunteers in a hostile Neyland Stadium.

In the Big Ten, No. 10 Penn State travels to The Big House to take on No. 5 Michigan in a pivotal matchup. The winner of that game still must go through Ohio State to claim the divisional championship, but the loser may find themselves in an unrecoverable position. This game will have an impact on how the Big Ten championship game forms.
The last meeting of unbeatens takes place in the Big 12, where No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 13 TCU are coming off tough Week 6 victories over Texas Tech and Kansas, respectively. The outcome of the game will leave only one remaining unbeaten Big 12 team, and only two teams undefeated in conference play (the other being Kansas State).
With that, The Sporting News has you covered on how to watch the top-25 slate of games in Week 7:
