On Saturday, there will be three notable college football matchups between teams with unbeaten records.
This marks the second time in college football history that there are three matchups with a 5-0 record playing each other.
College football researcher and co-host for ESPN’s College GameDay Chris Fallica pointed out the significance of the Week 7 slate in a tweet.
Saturday is the 2nd time in CFB history there are three matchups of teams 5-0 or better on the same day – 5-0 Penn State at 6-0 Michigan, 6-0 Alabama at 5-0 Tennessee and 5-0 Oklahoma State at 5-0 TCU…

The unbeaten slate of teams going head to head will include Penn State (5-0) at Michigan (6-0), Alabama (5-0) at Tennessee (5-0), and Oklahoma State (5-0) at TCU (5-0).
A B1G matchup will square off between No. 10 Penn State and No. 5 Michigan in Ann Arbor. This game will be one B1G showdown to not miss, as both teams are in the top 10, respectively.
An anticipated matchup between these two teams will provide some excitement on the field, as Penn State heads to Ann Arbor an underdog by a touchdown.
Week 7 will roll on and at the end of Saturday, we will then have three of those teams left unbeaten. Who will it be? We shall find out on Saturday with these historical matchups.
