Week 7 will set the course for the rest of this year's College Football Playoff race.
Several times in this space this year, I've lamented a particular week's slate barely mattering to the CFP race, barring an implosion by a contender against a much weaker opponent. No one would make any such assertions about this week, where we have several games with two teams who could at least conceivably make a playoff run facing each other.
In fact, four of the 10 scheduled games with the highest impact on the CFP race this season are in Week 7, according to the Allstate Playoff Predictor.
