Here are the best games from Week 7 in college football. (Taylar Sievert/Yahoo Sports)

It will be nearly impossible for Week 7 to match the chaos of Week 6, but the slate is loaded with exciting matchups.

It features the first matchup of the season between teams ranked in the top three, and the No. 1 team in the country plays in a famous neutral-site rivalry game. The day should be feisty.

These are the matchups that we will follow closely on Saturday. Follow all the action live below.

Time: 3:30 pm | Television: ABC | Line: Texas -14.5 | Total: 50.5

Both teams enter their Cotton Bowl rivalry game after weeks off. The Longhorns moved up to first place in the AP Top 25 after the Alabama loss and Quinn Ewers is back in the starting lineup. Oklahoma will start true freshman Michael Hawkins for the second straight game. If the Sooners are going to pull off an upset, Hawkins has to be fantastic and the running game has to get on track.

Time: 3:30 pm | Television: CBS | Line: Penn State -5.5 | Total: 50.5

This game lost some luster after the Trojans fell to Minnesota last week. That left them outside the top 25 and limited their chances of winning the Big Ten. However, it could still be a dangerous game for Penn State. Penn State’s offense looked much better in 2024 after an offseason coordinator change, and the defense allowed 12 points or fewer in four of its five games.

Time: 7:30 pm | Television: NBC | Line: Ohio State -3.5 | Total: 52.5

The marquee game of the weekend should be fantastic. Opposing defenses still haven’t figured out OSU’s two-headed rushing attack and a passing game that features freshman Jeremiah Smith. If the game comes down to quarterback play, Oregon could have the advantage. Will Howard has been solid for the Buckeyes, but Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel leads the country in completion percentage and has thrown for 1,449 yards.

Time: 7:30 pm | Television: ABC | Line: Ole Miss -3.5 | Total: 63.5

This game has all the characteristics of a shootout. The Rebels enter averaging 44 points per game, while LSU scores over 35 per game. QB Jaxson Dart has already thrown for 2,100 yards and LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier has thrown for 1,652 yards and 15 TDs in five games. The Tigers were out in Week 6 as the Rebels bounced back from their first loss with a resounding victory over South Carolina.

Time: 22:15 | Television: ESPN | Line: Kansas State -4 | Total: 56.5

Kansas State is a good measuring stick for what appears to be an improved Buffaloes team. The team has already matched its 2023 win total and is just two wins away from bowl eligibility. The biggest test for Colorado will be defense. Teams average over 150 rushing yards per game against the Buffaloes and KSU RB DJ Giddens and QB Avery Johnson each average 7.3 yards per carry.

Live21 updates

  • Safety South Carolina!

    The Gamecocks add two more points on the scoreboard after an error by Alabama’s Jalen Milroe! The Bama QB backed into his own end zone from the 12-yard line and then didn’t throw the ball to anyone, resulting in an intentional ground ball and a safety.

    South Carolina will get it back with all their timeouts and 1:30 left in the first half.

  • South Carolina Landing!

    The Gamecocks were facing a fourth-and-9 at the Bama 36-yard line and took a deep throw to the end zone and made it! It’s LaNorris Sellers against Mazeo Bennett Jr. for a score to cut into Alabama’s lead.

    It’s 14-7 Crimson Tide with less than 2 minutes left in the first half.

  • Clemson adds another TD

    After another interception in the first half, the Tigers went for fourth-and-goal and Phil Mafah delivered once again.

    Clemson now up 21-7.

  • Rutgers deep ball

    Meanwhile, in Piscataway, the Scarlet Knights are trying to take an early lead on Wisconsin and just made this deep shot.

  • Clemson strikes again!

    Clemson’s Kylon Griffin intercepted a pass from Wake Forest quarterback Hank Bachmeier just two plays later and the Tigers are in the end zone AGAIN on a short Phil Mafah run.

    What a quick turnaround for Clemson!

  • Clemson ties him up

    The Tigers respond in due course with a long drive of their own, capped by a 22-yard touchdown pass from Cade Klubnik to Antonio Williams.

    It’s 7-7 in Winston-Salem.

  • Wake Forest wins 7-0 over Clemson

    Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons are first on the board as they try to upset No. 10 Clemson.

  • Hawkeyes strike first in Iowa City

    After blocking a field goal attempt early in the first quarter, the Hawkeyes are now on the board first with a short touchdown run by Kaleb Johnson.

  • Army remains undefeated and will host UAB this week. Quarterback Bryson Daily just delivered this stiff arm and highlight reel sprint to the end zone as the Cadets take an early lead over Trent Dilfer’s Blazers.

  • The Hawkeyes are trying to bounce back from a blowout loss to Ohio State with a home game against Big Ten newcomer Washington.

    This will definitely help.

  • Bama scores fast

    A week after their surprising loss to Vanderbilt, the Crimson Tide started off on the right foot against South Carolina.

    The first drive of the game was 75 yards in nine plays and culminated with this touchdown run by Jalen Milroe.
