🔥 Week 7 NCAA Highlights: Saturday, October 11, 2025

🚨 Top-25 Clashes and Unexpected Surprises

No. 8 Alabama vs. No. 14 Missouri
In a classic SEC showdown, Alabama and Missouri were tied 7-7 as of the latest update. Both teams came out swinging in a high-stakes game that could tip the playoff scales. Alabama is also battling adversity off the field, announcing that linebacker Jah-Marien Latham and defensive lineman Jeremiah Beaman are out for the season due to practice injuries.

No. 1 Ohio State at No. 17 Illinois
The top-ranked Buckeyes faced a legit road challenge against a surging Illinois team led by standout QB Luke Altmyer. Known for his poise and accuracy, Altmyer tested one of the nation’s top defenses, and according to ESPN, this could be a pivotal performance in the playoff race.

No. 7 Indiana at No. 3 Oregon
It’s not often you get a battle of undefeateds in October, but No. 7 Indiana made the trip west to take on No. 3 Oregon in a potential Heisman-preview game. Per ABC7 Chicago, this game not only shook up rankings but added serious spice to the Heisman conversation.

Florida vs. No. 5 Texas A&M
Florida, fresh off a top-10 upset, had its sights set on another—this time against the powerhouse Texas A&M Aggies. The New York Times reported Florida needed to overcome the Aggies’ elite QB Marcel Reed and a defense that has only allowed one third-down conversion in the last two games. Let that sink in.

No. 24 USF vs. North Texas
What a comeback! USF roared back from a 21-14 deficit and put on an offensive clinic, scoring four touchdowns in just 3.5 minutes. That’s the kind of energy you want from your ranked teams heading into the heart of the season.

No. 17 Villanova vs. RV Elon
Don’t sleep on the FCS! Elon came into today’s game with more total offense (2,456 yards vs. 1,980) and more points scored than Villanova, and they were looking to prove they belong in the rankings conversation. Keep an eye on this one—it’s shaping up to be a classic.

🏈 Around the League: Notable News

• Michigan State is hurting on defense with two edge rushers and two starting secondary players sidelined ahead of their UCLA clash.
• Kansas State is also down key players, including star RB Dylan Edwards and DE Tobi Osunsanmi, just as they face a dangerous TCU squad.
• In the FCS, Central Connecticut State is gaining momentum after an overtime conference-opening win, while Robert Morris looks to regroup after a second straight loss.

🏆 College Football Playoff Picture Tightens

As CBS Sports notes, this weekend’s ranked matchups are critical for the College Football Playoff committee. The upcoming release of the first rankings will hinge heavily on today’s outcomes—and with so many undefeated teams still in the mix, every snap matters.
