There’s also an SEC night game that features 2 Top-25 teams, also on ABC, as No. 9 Ole Miss travels to Baton Rouge to face No. 13 LSU at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Rebels are an early 3-point favorite in Death Valley.
A tradition-rich SEC rivalry will be played out on Saturday night in Knoxville, where No. 8 Tennessee looks to bounce back against Florida at 7 p.m. on ESPN. The Volunteers are a robust 17-point favorite over the Gators.
Many eyes, for a change, will be on Vanderbilt in Week 7, as the college football world wants to see what the Commodores do for an encore after their upset of Alabama. Vandy heads to Lexington to face Kentucky at 7:45 p.m. on SEC Network. The Commodores are a 10-point underdog in a classic spot for a letdown after what happened in Week 6 in Nashville.
Meanwhile, Alabama, which dropped from No. 1 to No. 7 in Sunday’s new AP Poll, is a 22-point favorite in Week 7 at home against South Carolina at noon ET on ABC.
