The college football season is heating up. What are the best games for the Minnesota Vikings to watch this weekend with NFL Draft implications on the line?

Week 7 of the 2019 college football season features a ton of incredible matchups. Several of the nation’s top programs are squaring off on Saturday as they near the final stretch of their schedules.

The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released in less than a month and Saturday’s games will have an enormous impact on the initial standings.

The NCAA is a portal to the NFL for a ton of young men. The NFL Draft is creeping around the corner and the Minnesota Vikings have a bit more tape on some potential prospects.

Will the Vikings look for a young quarterback to replace the hot-and-cold Kirk Cousins? Do they still want to stock up on defensive backs?

There are so many great games this weekend that will not make this list. That said, these are the games to watch this weekend in college football.
