The dust has finally settled on a week of college football that few saw coming.

Penn State and Texas are now unranked after starting off as preseason favorites. The top three (and most of the top 10) continue to hold strong. And this week, fans await another batch of must-watch games.

Among them: Oklahoma traveling to the Lone Star State for the Red River Rivalry, a top-10 Big Ten Matchup, Michigan versus USC, Alabama facing another tough road test and more.

As per usual, The Lead is back to give you all the information you need to plan out your college football-watching schedule.

Here is how you can watch every single game in Week 7 (writer’s note: all game odds courtesy of FanDuel):
