College Football Playoff predictions: Who's most likely to make the field - ESPN
Week 7 of the college football season saw three more teams fall from the ranks of the undefeated. The Oregon Ducks lost to the Indiana Hoosiers, the Oklahoma Sooners lost to the Texas Longhorns and the Missouri Tigers fell at home to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
How will this season's top games affect the College Football Playoff chase? What are the current odds for the top four? The Allstate Playoff Predictor has the answers. Check back every week as the odds are updated following that week's games.
The Hoosiers reached the College Football Playoff in 2024, but not without questions after losing their only game against a ranked opponent. IU silenced some critics by beating the Ducks in Eugene. The Hoosiers defense held the Ducks to just 267 total yards and forced two turnovers.
The Hoosier join the Ohio State Buckeyes as the only remaining undefeated Big Ten teams. The Buckeyes' lone blip against the Illinois Fighting Illini was allowing 16 points when they hadn't given up more than nine all season. In the 34-16 win, Ohio State QB Julian Sayin was 19-of-27 for 166 yards and two scores.
The SEC also has just two unbeaten teams remaining. The Texas A&M Aggies took care of business at home, beating the Florida Gators 34-17. The Ole Miss Rebels, who entered the week as the highest ranked SEC team surprising struggled against the Washington State Cougars. QB Trinidad Chambliss accounted for three scores and the Rebels defense held up just well enough. Ole Miss will get tougher tests over the next two weeks with trips to face the Georgia Bulldogs and OU.
