Week 7 College Football Picks

After last weeks crazy group of games, Week 7 can prove to be just as wild with a some great games, including 5 matchups between ranked teams. Let's hope for more chaos!

*Note I won't be picking every Top 25 matchup, just the ones I feel are the most important*

Friday Game:
Washington State (2-4) @ 25 Stanford (3-2)- Stanford is coming off of a disappointing loss to rival Notre Dame in a game they know they should've won. Even with two losses this Stanford defense is still one of the best in the country, allowing only 8.6 points a game (first in the FBS). They should take care of a mediocre Washington State team at home in this PAC-12 North matchup. Stanford 30 Washington State 14

2 Auburn (5-0) @ 3 Mississippi State (5-0)- Last week was possibly the best ever in the state of Mississippi. This week...not so much. I expect a great Auburn defense to stand tall and beat Mississippi in a close one. Auburn 33 Mississippi State 27

3 Ole Miss (5-0) @ 14 Texas A&M (5-1)- Ole Miss is coming off of a great game in which they upset Alabama. But their undefeated season stops in College Station as Texas A&M and their high potent offense is too much. Texas A&M 37 Ole Miss 30

9 TCU (4-0) @ 5 Baylor (5-0)- TCU has been one of the surprise teams this season. Baylor has a great offense as well as an underrated defense. Baylor beats TCU behind a good game from Bryce Petty. Baylor 40 TCU 28

7 Alabama (4-1) @ Arkansas (3-2)- Alabama was stunned against Ole Miss and are going to be angry playing Arkansas. Alabama wins this game behind their strong rushing attack. Alabama 37 Arkansas 20

USC (3-2) @ 10 Arizona (5-0)- The Wildcats are coming off of a huge upset against the Oregon Duck, but are surprising underdogs in this game vs the Trojans. At home Arizona beats an inconsistent USC team. Arizona 38 USC 31

13 Georgia (4-1) @ 23 Missouri (4-1)- Georgia will be playing without star running back Todd Gurley following his suspension. Missouri pulls off the upset at home. Missouri 28 Georgia 24

18 Oregon (4-1) @ 12 UCLA (4-1)- Both teams are coming off disappointing losses at home that hurt their playoff hopes. Look for Oregon to get back on track and exploit UCLA's inconsistent defense. Expect a big game from Mariota here. Oregon 45 UCLA 35
