College football week 7: Can the Tennessee Vols beat the Alabama Crimson Tide?
USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg and Dan Wolken break down the top match up of week 7 in college football.No fewer than six matchups of ranked opponents highlight the Week 7 schedule. There are three games featuring unbeatens with a record of 5-0 or better. That has happened only one other time on the same college football weekend – in 1993.
The headliner of Saturday is No. 1 Alabama paying a visit to Tennessee. The Crimson Tide have dominated the rivalry, winning the last 15 matchups, but faces uncertainty at quarterback with Bryce Young's status in doubt. He'll be needed to match the high-powered Volunteers who rank second among Bowl Subdivision teams in scoring.
Not far behind is the Big Ten showdown that sees No. 4 Michigan hosting No. 10 Penn State. Both the Wolverines and Nittany Lions are hoping to keep pace with Ohio State and each boasts an impressive defense. This shapes up as a defensive struggle that goes deep into the fourth quarter.
