Summary
Six AP Top 25 games, including No. 5 Ohio State at No. 6 Indiana and No. 2 Notre Dame at No. 8 BYU, make Week 7 the season's biggest slate so far.
Indiana enters its biggest home game chasing a 23rd straight win, while Notre Dame-BYU pairs a dominant Irish defense with a Cougars offense missing injured star back LJ Martin.
The SEC adds three ranked tests: No. 16 Mississippi State at No. 22 LSU, No. 6 Alabama at No. 14 Tennessee and No. 13 Missouri at No. 9 Ole Miss.
LSU faces a near must-win at 4-2, Tennessee may lean on DeSean Bishop against Alabama, and Ole Miss-Missouri features transfer-fueled storylines on both offenses.
Beyond the headline games, Florida-Texas, Florida State-Miami and Oklahoma State-Houston could reshape SEC, ACC and Big 12 races.
