College football Week 7 - Scott Van Pelt's Winners

We went 4-4 last week — not sure how. But that's what it was. I always feel obligated to make some kind of declaration at the start of the segment, so here are this week's: This is the oddest collection of whatever this is that I can recall. Most favorites, I think ever. Feels almost like I didn't pick the games. Make you feel confident? Me either.

Van Pelt's pick: Oklahoma (-9)

OK — first GPG game of the year — General Principle Game, if you've forgotten. Oklahoma has surrendered 145 points in its past three games. Top-10 preseason, the Sooners are now in last place in the Big 12. They were last seen getting humiliated by rival Texas to the tune of 49-0. Kansas, meanwhile, is ranked and is coming off a stirring battle with unbeaten TCU. Oklahoma is a 9-point favorite. OK — sure. On general principle, I lay the points in this spot because it's so preposterous at face value.

SVP: 17-7 all time when picking teams favored by more than a TD

Wisconsin (-7.5, 49.5) at Michigan State noon ET, Spartan Stadium, East Lansing, Michigan

Van Pelt's pick: Michigan State (+7.5)

Feels like a last stand of sorts in East Lansing — not for Mel Tucker or anything like that — but certainly in a season where the Spartans have lost four straight with Michigan in Ann Arbor on deck. Spartans either fight in this one against Wisconsin or… I don't know what.

SVP: 12-8-1 all time when picking matchups of unranked Big Ten teams

Western Kentucky (-8, 67) at Middle Tennessee 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, Johnny «Red» Floyd Stadium, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Van Pelt's pick: Middle Tennessee (+8)

Wheels have fallen off the bus for Middle Tennessee after it shocked Miami. Attention Blue Raiders: time to defend the home turf of Murfreesboro as the Hilltoppers
