    Week 7 featured some high-profile matchups even if the week lacked some of the upsets and drama from last week. The No. 1 Texas Longhorns faced their Red River rivals in the Oklahoma Sooners . The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes faced their toughest opponent yet in the No. 3 Oregon Ducks .

    The Longhorns started slow in Dallas but eventually pulled off a resounding win. The 34-3 win was Texas fourth-largest margin of victory in the series. Quarterback Quinn Ewers returned from injury and had an efficient performance while running back Quintrevion Wisner rushed for 118 yards and a score. The Longhorns don't get much time to revel in the rivalry win or the corny dogs. The Georgia Bulldogs come to Austin in Week 8.

    The new-look Big Ten was on full display as well. The No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions rallied from a 20-6 deficit to defeat the USC Trojans in overtime . Then, the big one in Eugene lived up to the billing. The Ducks and Buckeyes traded big plays throughout the game and clutch kicks in the fourth quarter. Oregon's Atticus Sappington hit the game-winning field goal with 1:47 to play and the Ducks' defense finished off the Buckeyes . Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel had 373 total yards and three touchdowns.
