    Former ESPN analyst David Pollack revealed his predictions for the Week 7 college football slate on the latest episode of his podcast, mentioning that one of the top teams in the nation may be on upset alert.

    While detailing some big-time matchups like No. 2 Ohio State versus No. 3 Oregon, No. 4 Penn State versus USC and No. 1 Texas versus No. 18 Oklahoma, Pollack put one SEC team on upset alert.

    He believes No. 13 LSU may have the strength to take down No. 9 Ole Miss. Given the Tigers' homefield advantage, Pollack made it clear that he sees a scenario where LSU comes out on top.

    "LSU at night is a great recipe," Pollack said . "We've seen that for years and years."

    However, Pollack hasn't bought into the Tigers' defensive ability, so he questioned how they'd be able to stop one of the most explosive offenses in the country behind Ole Miss quarterback Jaxon Dart.

    "But man, when I look at LSU's defense, I don't know how they're going to continue to get stops," Pollack explained.

    Ole Miss heads into the Week 7 matchup against LSU as 3.5-point favorites , with the money line set at -170 in favor of the Rebels.

    Dart and the Ole Miss Rebels have been stretching the field all season. They're averaging 44.5 points per game behind 13 touchdowns and 2,100 passing yards from Dart.

    He's been one of the top quarterbacks in the country all year, throwing just two interceptions while completing 73.4% of his pass attempts.

    Dart's ability to extend plays through the air, as well as Ole Miss' elite running back in Henry Parrish Jr., who's recorded nine touchdowns and 570 yards on the year, has people like Pollack skeptical of the Tigers pulling off an upset.

    But, as Pollack explained, anything is possible for the Tigers when they're playing under the lights.
