Our college football Week 7 preview, with notes on a bunch of games as the season hits its halfway point. Just a few of the games in here:

* USF at North Texas, a potential Game of the Year in the American with playoff implications on both sides

* Ohio State at Illinois, a potential test for the Buckeyes but probably just another chance to flex how good they are

* Alabama at Missouri, where at least one of us thinks the Tigers can do it

* Texas vs. Oklahoma: Will Texas be able to block for Arch Manning? It’s an open question, as is John Mateer’s availability

* Iowa State at Colorado, where it looks like Deion Sanders is winding it down

* Arkansas at Tennessee, a showcase spot for Bobby Petrino

* Georgia at Auburn, a chance for Auburn to show what it’s got up front

* South Carolina at LSU, which looks less enticing than it once did

* Arizona State at Utah, with Big 12 title ramifications

* THE MAIN COURSE, PRESENTED BY MODELO: The great Dan Rubenstein of The Solid Verbal podcast joins us to talk about Indiana-Oregon and the Ducks’ continued rise under Dan Lanning
