SEC showdowns lead college football Week 9 picks for every Top 25 game

Nineteen games this weekend feature teams ranked in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The SEC hosts the only three matchups between ranked opponents.
No. 10 BYU, another undefeated team, faces a road test at Iowa State.

There’s a full slate of games on tap in college football this weekend. With only three ranked teams in an open date, there are 19 games involving teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll rankings for our panel of pickers to consider.

Of course, this also means there aren’t many matchups of ranked opponents. There are in fact only three, and not surprisingly they’re all in the SEC. No. 3 Texas A&M puts its unblemished record on the line at No. 19 LSU, No. 8 Mississippi heads to No. 11 Oklahoma, and No. 12 Vanderbilt plays host to No. 14 Missouri.

Other games of note include one of the other remaining undefeated squads, No. 10 Brigham Young, also hitting the road to Iowa State. Key contests in the Big Ten include No. 2 Indiana hosting resurgent UCLA and No. 23 Illinois traversing the Rockies to take on Washington.

Read on to see where our staff members think upsets might happen.
