Seven SEC battles are on tap this weekend, as teams across the conference look to separate themselves from the pack.
The chaos begins with the Florida Gators traveling to DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium to take on the Texas Longhorns, as both teams look to bounce back from disappointing losses in Week 6. Up the road in College Station, the Texas A&M Aggies host their final non-conference contest of 2026 against The Citadel, after suffering a 27-6 blowout loss to Mizzou.
Mississippi State will call Baton Rouge on Saturday morning as the Bulldogs face No. 22 LSU off a bye week. With Kamario Taylor and Fluff Bothwell's status still up in the air, the Tigers could send Jeff Lebby and company back to Starkville with their second loss of the season.
Some
of the SEC's oldest rivalries will take place in Week 7, including Auburn taking on Georgia between the hedges and Alabama traveling to Neyland Stadium for a showdown against the Vols.
Another reunion of sorts is slated for Saturday in Oxford, as former Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons looks to lead Mizzou to another massive conference win. To do so, the Tigers' defense must shut down arguably college football's most electrifying quarterback, Trinidad Chambliss.
