College Football Week 7 Betting
College football is like any other sport when it comes to a copycat element. The newest trend is to fire a struggling head coach in-season and replace him with a staff assistant in the hopes of jumpstarting a salvation attempt for a bowl game, if not more. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, Wisconsin Badgers, and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have all gotten a bump after changing horses in midstream. Thus, there are likely to be more such moves in the weeks ahead.
In addition to changing coaches fast when things are not going well to save a season, there is another benefit. The coaching carousel will have another wild ride in 2022. And teams that whack their current coach will be at the front of the line when it's time to hire the new guy. Subsequently, the new coach can save the December early signing day recruiting class and work on the transfer portal. Also, the new coach will have a head start at hiring assistants.
Week seven offers another outstanding lineup of games. One of the most interesting in the early window is the Kansas Jayhawks at the Oklahoma Sooners. Speaking of the coaching carousel, Kansas coach Lance Leipold is the hottest brand going. By contrast, Oklahoma rookie head coach Brent Venables is already on the hot seat after losing three consecutive games. Last week OU was mauled against the hated rival Texas Longhorns.
FOX Big Noon Kickoff could have the game of the day with the Michigan Wolverines hosting the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State and Michigan are undefeated. The winner will share first place in the Big Ten East with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
And in the SEC, a matchup of undefeated teams will occur on CBS. The Tennessee Volunteers will host the Alabama Crimson Tide in one of the great traditional rivalries. Tennessee looks like they can threaten an upset at Neyland Stadium. The Vols routed the LSU Tigers last week, while Alabama barely escaped the Texas A&M Aggies.
