The Week 9 college football schedule features a whopping five ranked vs. ranked matchups, including No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M on Saturday night. Texas A&M is a 3-point favorite in the Week 9 college football odds as it looks to extend its six-game winning streak. Other top-25 showdowns this weekend include No. 24 Navy (+11.5) vs. No. 12 Notre Dame, No. 15 Alabama (-14) vs. No. 21 Missouri, No. 1 Oregon (-21.5) vs. No. 20 Illinois, and No. 25 Vanderbilt (+18) vs. No. 5 Texas.  

Vanderbilt knocked off then-No. 1 Alabama at the beginning of October, and it has added wins over Kentucky and Ball State since then. The Longhorns are coming off their first loss of the season, falling to then-No. 5 Georgia at home last week.
