No. 8 Alabama at No. 14 Missouri — 11 a.m. on ABC
Missouri enters week seven still undefeated, but remains stuck in the middle of the AP poll, having played only one conference opponent so far. The Tigers will host No. 8 Alabama on Saturday in Columbia for what could be their biggest test of the season.
Sophomore running back Ahmad Hardy, who has led the nation in rushing yards through five games, has powered Mizzou’s offense amid quarterback injuries. Head coach Eliah Drinkwitz will rely on the ground game to control tempo against the Crimson Tide.
Alabama continues to build momentum behind redshirt junior quarterback Ty Simpson and a physical defense led by senior linebacker Deontae Lawson. The Tide’s front seven has dominated opponents in recent weeks, and Missouri’s offensive line will face its toughest challenge yet.
Florida at No. 5 Texas A&M — 6 p.m. on ESPN
Holding a 2-3 record, the Florida Gators will enter week seven hoping to build on last week’s upset victory over Texas. Sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway, who threw for a season-high 298 yards and two touchdowns against the Longhorns, leads the offense, with freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson serving as his primary target.
No. 5 Texas A&M, who boasts an undefeated record, will present a stiff challenge for the visiting Gators. The Aggies’ defense is anchored by pass rusher Cashius Howell, a redshirt senior defensive end who leads the Southeastern Conference with seven sacks. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed and the wide receiver duo of sophomore Mario Craver and junior KC Concepcion have been instrumental in the Aggies’ offensive success, with 958 receiving yards between the two.
A strong performance could show that the Gators belong in the SEC, with Saturday’s game at Kyle Field testing Florida’s ability to sustain momentum.
No. 10 Georgia at Auburn — 6:30 p.m. on ABC
Georgia enters week seven with a 4-1 record, hoping to extend its eight-game winning streak against rival Auburn. In what’s known as the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry,” Georgia and Auburn will meet for the 130th year.
Redshirt junior quarterback Gunner Stockton continues to impress, throwing for 196 yards and one touchdown in last week’s victory over Kentucky. Redshirt freshman running back Chauncey Bowens added 70 yards on the ground, leading a balanced offensive attack.
Auburn has shown resilience despite close losses to Oklahoma and Texas A&M. Meanwhile, junior quarterback Jackson Arnold leads the Tigers’ offense, and senior running back Damari Alston provides a steady ground game. Auburn will look to capitalize on its home-field advantage and disrupt the Bulldogs’ trajectory.
