CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State is one touchdown catch away from tying the Big Ten career receiving touchdowns record but has yet to score against Indiana in two previous meetings; this Saturday's game in Bloomington could change that.
- The upcoming Week 7 features four matchups between AP Top 15 teams, including Ohio State vs. Indiana, Alabama vs. Tennessee, Ole Miss vs. Missouri, and BYU vs. Notre Dame, highlighting a highly competitive weekend in college football.
- Experts predict Ohio State to narrowly defeat Indiana, Texas to bounce back against Florida, and Alabama to pull away late against Tennessee, while a tight defensive battle is expected between Michigan and Penn State.
- The No. 8 BYU vs. No. 2 Notre Dame game is anticipated to be a low-scoring, closely contested matchup with BYU potentially covering the spread despite Notre Dame's favored status.
- Miami is favored to dominate Florida State based on strong performance trends, while LSU vs. Mississippi State is expected to be a lower-scoring game despite LSU being a heavy favorite.
