College football's Week 9 didn't hold anything particularly shocking. The Texas-Oklahoma State game matched the adjusted stats over the rankings, although the Longhorns nearly pulled the game out late after getting ambushed in a 17-7 first quarter for the Pokes. Georgia rolled over Florida in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, while Washington State maintained their charge for their first Pac-12 title by defeating the Cardinal on a late field goal.
Penn State desperately needed a win against Iowa with this week's road trip to Michigan still looming and then a home date with Wisconsin immediately following that contest, and they got it.
