By Ross Dellenger, Senior College Football Writer, Yahoo Sports: Week 9 brought us a fairly boring daytime college football schedule of games.
And a nightcap to remember!
The playoff race tightened considerably with some wild Saturday night results. The Aggies of Texas A&M checked into our Top 10 after storming back to beat LSU. Are the Tigers out? Perhaps. The SMU Mustangs remained in the playoff race with an overtime victory over Duke, which likely slipped out of any playoff considerations. Penn State remained undefeated by ruining any small playoff hope that Wisconsin had. The Buckeyes survived a scare from Nebraska, eliminating the Huskers.
TCU, down 13 points midway through the fourth quarter, put together a fourth-quarter blitz to knock out in-state rival Texas Tech. Notre Dame eliminated Navy from the list of FBS unbeatens (there are now eight undefeated teams left).
And then there are the Indiana Hoosiers, who soared to 8-0 for the first time in more than 50 years. Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns followed the loss to Georgia with a survival at Vanderbilt, and Kansas fumbled away a game to rival Kansas State, which keeps its CFP and Big 12 title hopes alive.
Onward to the Top 10!
