Week 7 of College Football Is Here – And the Stakes Have Never Been Higher!
This Saturday, the 2025 college football season hits its stride with explosive matchups that could reshape the playoff picture. But here's where it gets controversial: Are we already witnessing the rise of this year's national champion, or will underdogs shake up the rankings?
Blockbuster Games You Can’t Miss
FOX's Big Noon Kickoff crew is live in Champaign as the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) clash with No. 17 Illinois (4-1). Will the Fighting Illini pull off a historic upset, or will Ohio State’s dominance continue? Meanwhile, in a gritty SEC showdown, No. 8 Alabama (4-1) battles undefeated No. 14 Missouri (5-0) – a game that could redefine the conference hierarchy. And this is the part most people miss: Missouri’s flawless record isn’t just luck; their defense is quietly among the best in the nation.
