Week 8 of the college football season saw three more top-10 teams fall as BYU, Ole Miss, and Texas Tech all lost, setting the stage for another unpredictable Week 9. The latest odds feature several high-profile matchups, including No. 6 Utah visiting Cincinnati as a 6.5-point favorite, No. 13 Texas Tech hosting No. 22 Arizona at -3.5, No. 3 Georgia favored by 12.5 over No. 17 Florida, and USC taking on No. 2 Ohio State in their first Big Ten meeting with the Trojans as 6.5-point underdogs.
SportsLine's computer model, which enters Week 9 on a 68-59 run on top-rated picks, projects Oregon to defeat Northwestern 30-21 as a 3.5-point favorite. The Ducks are coming off a 21-10 loss to Illinois that led to the firing of offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer, while Northwestern rides a four-game winning streak against mostly struggling Big Ten opponents. The model also backs multiple underdogs to win outright across the Week 9 slate. Full picks, odds, and exact score projections for every FBS game are available via SportsLine.
