What began last week with the ramifications from the thrilling shootout between Oregon and Washington continued this week, with USC falling to #24 after a PAC-12 clash with now #13 Utah. Let’s take a look at the Week 9 College Football odds for the Top 25 ranked teams, in order to get a sense of where they all stand after last Saturday.
For weeks, the college football world (myself included) has been singing praises about the exceptional quality of the PAC-12 as the conference approaches its final season, with all schools except Washington State and Oregon State moving on to new horizons. Speaking of the Beavers, DJ Uiagalelei and company continue to make their way up the ranks, after securing wins against teams like UCLA and Utah in the last couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, the USC Trojans are in a freefall, going from being in the Top 5 just a few weeks ago to now ranking #24. After their loss to Utah, many are questioning why Caleb Williams, Lincoln Riley, and the team are still in the Top 25, particularly after other struggles against unranked teams like Arizona and Arizona State, as well as their nationally televised loss against Notre Dame.
Despite all the excitement happening on the West Coast, the Big 10 continues to dominate the Top 5, with Michigan and Ohio State ranking second and third. Speaking of the Wolverines, despite being the second-ranked team in the nation, many of the top offshore sportsbooks now consider Jim Harbaugh and his squad the odds favorites to win the College Football Playoff.
Time to look at the Week 9 College Football odds for the Top 25 ranked teams in the nation after the AP Poll was released on Sunday night. Heads up, we have four ranked teams on a bye, including #2 Michigan and only two games pitting squads on this list: Duke vs. Louisville and Oregon vs. Utah.
