Week 7 of the 2023 college football season is here and with it comes another batch of important games that will have a direct impact on how the division and conference races shake out in the weeks and months to come, and in how the final four-team College Football Playoff will eventually look, as well.

Today's schedule includes four games pitting ranked teams in head-to-head matchups, and follows an unusually active mid-week selection that saw Houston take down West Virginia on a Hail Mary, and Colorado lose an infamous 29-0 lead over Stanford.

What will Saturday's games hold in store as we cross the mid-season part of the schedule? Let's make our final game picks with the help of ESPN's College GameDay panel live from Oregon vs. Washington.

College football Week 7 picks today

Miami at North Carolina: A unanimous decision in favor of the Tar Heels to hand the reeling Hurricanes a second-straight loss and move into ACC title contention.
