Results of the 9th week of university football: 9 big winners and 9 losers

With the 9th week of college football in the books, almost all October games in this sport are too. November is the month that makes the champions. This weekend gave us a bit more idea of ​​what these champions could be and a great idea that some teams are terrible.

Dozens and dozens of teams are literally winners and losers every week. But here is a list of extra special winners and losers after a long football weekend.

Georgia

The spring break that followed the LSU's assassination of the Dawgs apparently did them good. Jake Fromm has responded to numerous calls for his bench (including here) by completing 17 of his 24 passes for 240 yards, three goals, and no choice or fumble – all against a defense coming in 9th in Passing S & P +.

In addition, it is clear that the Dawgs are now favorites to win the SEC East. Florida has been sent as a threat, leaving only …

Kentucky

Winners in Missouri, thanks to an interference call from Fringy Pass and a final clutch game on lost time that has been announced. The Wildcats could be in the top 10 for a game against the Dawgs next week. Kentucky! A participant in a game of the top 10! In week 10!

Mark Stoops was obviously not ready to ride the crowd afterwards, and Kentucky literally broke a ceiling tile with his body …

… but he is finally victorious.

I do not think Kentucky will win Georgia, but the game will be in Lexington. It's conceivable, despite the extraordinary appearance of the Dawgs by defeating UF and despite the victory of Kentucky against Mizzou.

State of Washington

The Cougars came back 28-14 to win at Stanford. They remain the Pac-12's only hope in Playoffs, and it feels like they're part of the Fate Team these days. I think it is the year when they will beat Washington in Apple Cup.

North West

Because the Wildcats beat Wisconsin and Iowa lost to Penn State, the Northwest is now the only Big Ten West leader, totally controlling his fate in the league. NU would be a light snack for the Ohio State or Michigan in a Big Ten Championship Game, but who cares?

It's week 10 now and Northwestern is heading up a Power 5 division. They should hold a parade throughout downtown Evanston. This is all unknown territory.

Georgia triple option teams

Thursday, Georgia Southern hosted for the first time his hated rival, Appalachian State, the Top 25 of the AP. The story of Southern Georgia is final: the program is usually good when it offers the triple and bad option when it is not. Well, they ran triple against App State and ran more than The state of enforcement in 34-14 mode will allow Eagles scammers to be ranked among the top 25 in the foreseeable future.

The same night, Paul Johnson – the former South coach and long-time scion with triple option – took his Georgia Jack Yellow Jackets to face Virginia Tech. The Jackets defeated the Hokies without a pass. This is one of the most horrific losses Virginia Tech has ever suffered, delivered in 78 games played by GT.

Also on Saturday, FCS Kennesaw State, who runs Johnson's flexbone, defeated Charleston Southern, 38-10.

Mystery novel 2009 Dark places

Author Gillian Flynn's book found its place in the spotlight when a shirtless Florida fan read it during his team's loss to Clemson.

Will Muschamp

South Carolina beat Tennessee, placing it 7-0 against the Vols.

WHO IS YOUR GOD NOW, TENNESSEE?

The same guy as before: Will Muschamp.

The state of Arizona

Herm Edwards, who started the season as a punchline, has led the Sun Devils to a road victory against US Blueblood. Meanwhile, Kevin Sumlin's Wildcats got off to a bad start, but are now 4-5 after giving Oregon one of their worst five trips to Tucson in the past 12 years.

Clemson

The Tigers were supposed to handle the Florida State with relative ease, as favorites at 18 points. They looked much better than that in a 59-10 swirl. Trevor Lawrence and Tee Higgins are incredibly good together, and Clemson will be the cabinet No. 2 in the playoff standings released Tuesday. This team can play with Alabama in revenge that everyone sees coming.

Texas

The Longhorns visited a Oklahoma State team that was already part of the Big 12 race in prime time. They made a lot of mistakes all night long. Kicker Cameron Dicker was penalized early in the game to help set up a touchdown and ended with a series of unsportsmanlike penalties when the match started.

They left quarterback Pokes Taylor Cornelius record the most impressive start of his career and beat him with his two times belatedly, despite the fact that Cornelius was not an active QB and that his torso was almost entirely epaulettes. (One of those points was what happened as the winning touchdown of the third goal and the tenth of the end of the tenth goal.The other was a match goalkeeper sealing a third and six.)

UT is still in a strong position in the Big 12, but the Horns are not in the playoffs before two other really tough games against West Virginia and Texas Tech.

Bobby Petrino

There is a non-zero chance that Petrino's has already won its last game as Louisville coach, despite a takeover that is expected to yield about $ 14 million.

Louisville has been bad all year. But it's bad, and then there is "give up 56 points in the first three quarters of defeat against the team that was number 113 in the country in shots per game." Louisville is now this second type of problem, after Wake Forest destroyed the Cardinals in their own home. It was embarrassing, but the biggest problem is what's left in the program. If you bet on the last Louisville record, 2-10 might not be a bad choice.

Wisconsin
Iowa

The Badgers, a hilarious playoff pick for pre-season dark horses, are underperforming for a change. Not having quarterback Alex Hornibrook hurt them, but it's still hard to explain the defeat against the Northwest that made two touchdowns close to Rutgers' the week before. Wisconsin does not even intend to play in the New Year's bowl and will probably lose four or five games, with tough matches still to be played at Penn State and Purdue.

The Hawkeyes, a surprisingly legitimate playoff contender up to now, are now out of this race because they found themselves on the wrong side of this salty feast at State College.

The rest of ACC

For a month now, it is clear that this conference is calling Clemson and a group of people. But NC State lost to Syracuse a week after not claiming to compete with the Tigers, and Virginia, now the only leader in the Coastal division, clearly shows that this conference has exactly a good team. Quick! Can you say who is the second best team in ACC? If you've answered Syracuse, Boston College, or the Clemson scouting team, you may be right.

USC

Trojans did not have JT Daniels. Redshirt rookie Jack Sears started in his place. It does not matter. This team is far too mediocre for USC. A boring home defeat against Arizona State only reinforces the idea that Clay Helton may not be able to win anything serious.

Colorado

The Buffaloes lost a 28-point lead in the second half to Oregon State, which did not win. In a way, Colorado has not even experienced the worst advance of the last decade. But he set up the Buffs, who started 5-0 against exclusively bad teams, to finish 6-6 (or may be 5-7), depending on how they manage in a few tossup games.

TCU

Frogs lost to Kansas through a bout fumble. That said all you need to know about the status of the program, but I have another thought: Gary Patterson is 58 years old and ranks last in the Big 12 with a tiebreaker with those same Jayhawks. What are the odds for Patterson to once again bring TCU into a serious competition around the Big 12, now that Texas is competitive? It seems unlikely, as formidable as he did. (But we all said that, right?)

The perception that the Ohio State is good

The strength of the Buckeyes calendar does not matter for the playoff race. They have a defeat and if they do not lose again, they will rank in the top four. If they lose again, they will not do it.

But they look weaker now than they had done on Friday, even though they were about to happen. This is because TCU was, at one point, supposed to be OSU's winning conference win. It is now clear that the Frogs are bad and the only thing impressive that the Buckeyes have done is to narrowly win a victory against a Penn State team that almost took its third defeat on Saturday.

For this reason and for many other reasons, it is difficult to feel good about it.
