College football games to look forward to in Week 9
The biggest game on the Week 9 college football slate features the Utah Utes hosting the Oregon Ducks in a battle between two excellent Pac-12 programs. But a meeting between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators in Jacksonville should also be fun. That rivalry has lacked juice in recent years, but there are reasons to believe the two will deliver a good game here. And overall, the Week 9 college football schedule has a bunch of enticing matchups. So, keep reading to see my Week 9 Games of the Week.

Week 9 Games of the Week
Last week, Oklahoma barely hung on in a 31-29 win over the UCF Knights. The Sooners now head on the road to face a Jayhawks team that had a bye week to mull over a 39-32 loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys on October 14. I’d expect Kansas to come out fired up in this one, but Oklahoma could still prove to be too much for Lance Leipold’s group. The Sooners haven’t lost to the Jayhawks since 1997. Oklahoma is on an 18-game winning streak against this Kansas team, and the Sooners won all of those games by double digits. The spread here suggests there could be a similar outcome this time around, which really wouldn’t be all that surprising. I’m not sure how the Jayhawks will be able to slow down Dillon Gabriel and this Sooners passing game. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s defense hasn’t looked as strong in recent weeks, but the Sooners are still 13th in the nation in scoring defense.
