There weren’t a lot of surprises in the college football world from Week 9. Oregon rolled past Illinois to remain atop the rankings. Boise State, a favorite to make the College Football Playoff from the Group of Five, won a close game against UNLV despite running back Ashton Jeanty rushing for a paltry 128 yards. Alabama bounced back in a big way by blanking Missouri. Vanderbilt was at it again, giving a fifth-ranked Texas team all it could handle. Unlike Alabama, Texas did just enough to escape Nashville with a win. In a game that could determine who plays for an SEC championship, Texas A&M orchestrated a phenomenal comeback by shutting down LSU in the second half.
