The Week 7 college football schedule looks like one of the best of the year, with high-profile rivalry games like Texas vs. Oklahoma and critical top-25 matchups like Ohio State vs. Oregon and Ole Miss vs. LSU. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 2 in the AP Top 25 while the Oregon Ducks are ranked No. 3, and the winner of Saturday’s matchup in Eugene could have the inside track on winning the Big Ten championship. The latest Week 7 college football odds list Ohio State as the 3.5-point favorite while the over/under is at 52.5 points.
Meanwhile, No. 1 Texas is a 14.5-point favorite over No. 18 Oklahoma while No. 9 Ole Miss is a 3.5-point favorite over No. 13 LSU in the Week 7 college football lines.

Top college football predictions for Week 7
One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 7: No. 11 Notre Dame (-24) cruises to a blowout win over Stanford in a 3:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. Notre Dame was the significantly better side when these teams met last season, covering the spread as a 26-point road favorite in a 56-23 win. The Fighting Irish have won 10 of their last 12 home games, and they have covered the spread in six of their last eight games overall.
Stanford has struggled dating back to the end of last season, covering just twice in its last eight games. Additionally, the Cardinal have been consistently bad away from home, going 5-11 against the spread in their last 16 road games. SportsLine’s model expects those trends to continue on Saturday, as Notre Dame is scoring more than 40 points and covering the spread in 60% of the latest simulations.

Another prediction: Vanderbilt covers as 13.5-point road underdogs against Kentucky in a 7:45 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. The Commodores are coming off their biggest win in program history, knocking off No. 1 Alabama as 22.5-point home underdogs. The win improved Clark Lea’s program to 3-2 and gave Vanderbilt its first win over an AP Top 5 program in school history.
New Mexico State transfer Diego Pavia went 16-for-20 for 252 yards and two touchdowns without an interception while also rushing for 56 yards in the victory. Pavia has thrown for eight touchdowns without an interception so far this season and has also rushed for 335 yards and two touchdowns. Vanderbilt also won the turnover battle 2-0 against Alabama and that’s a big reason why the model has the Commodores covering in over 60% of simulations.
