Week 7 College Football Playoff predictions: UCLA rises to the top of the Big 10

The Week 7 college football landscape shifted dramatically after a volatile weekend, with UCLA emerging as the Big Ten’s most compelling contender. The Bruins stunned Oregon in a road upset, capitalizing on Dylan Raiola’s struggles under center to secure their first win under first-year coach Bob Chesney.

Now undefeated, UCLA’s manageable schedule and Chesney’s playoff-proven experience—having led James Madison to the CFP last season—have vaulted them into serious title conversation. Meanwhile, Texas’ title hopes took a major hit after falling to Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, exposing offensive inconsistencies and raising doubts about their championship legitimacy amid a grueling SEC gauntlet ahead.
