Guaranteed Picks for College Football: Top 25 for Week 7

This should be a monster week of college football; one of those magnificent weeks where the top 25 is turned on its ear.  With four games matching ranked foes against each other, and no fewer than a half dozen facing stiff competition, expect a number of upsets.  After this weekend, the National Championship picture may end up clearing up a bit; It may just as well be a disaster.  It should be a great weekend to be a fan.

Arkansas Razorbacks (3-2) at #1 Florida Gators (5-0)

Is Arkansas ready for another upset?  Not likely, but this game should be closer than most think.

#4 Virginia Tech Holies (5-1) at #19 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-1)
