Week 7 of the college football season is already here. And teams are preparing to kick things into extra high gear as bowl season and the College Football Playoff will be here before you know it. And as the season rolls along every win and loss becomes more important. One of the key matchups in Week 7 will be the Oregon Ducks taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes in a matchup of the second and third-best teams in the country.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are a team that has become synonymous with the College Football Playoff. And with an undefeated record to this point in the season, Ryan Day and company look primed for a return to the big dance. One player who will be key in this marquee matchup will be Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard. Howard has lit up opposing defenses this season. So far he has accrued 1248 passing yards and has a touchdown touchdown-to-interception ratio of 12:3
As for the Oregon Ducks, they are looking to return to glory. They have not scored a bid for the College Football Playoff since 2014. But this year they appear to be on the fast track back to the big dance. The Ducks are undefeated to this point in the season, but this will undoubtedly be their biggest test. They have beaten two top-25 opponents en route to a 5-0 record, but this will be their first matchup against a team ranked in the top ten.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
