College Football Week 7: Betting odds, lines, and more

The Pac-12 has been one of the most interesting conferences in college football this season in what will be its swan song as it is currently constructed. With seven teams ranked in the AP Top 25, a top-10 matchup like No. 6 Washington vs. No. 10 Oregon is bound to arrive this weekend. Both teams enter Saturday afternoon’s clash undefeated and exit the encounter. The game will also feature two of the best quarterbacks in the country in Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix.

Another heated rivalry will be shown in prime time as current Heisman Trophy favorite Caleb Williams, No. 11 USC Sam Hartman and No. 21 Notre Dame face off. Also, with No. 25 Miami reeling after a shocking defeat at the hands of Georgia Tech, the Hurricanes now travel to Chapel Hill to battle Drake May and No. 12 North Carolina. Week 7 of the 2023 College Football Playoff could include some surprises.
