Week 9 featured five games pitting AP Top 25 teams against each other, and the biggest one featured No. 14 Texas A&M rallying for a 38-23 win over No. 8 LSU, which puts the Aggies at 5-0 in SEC play and alone atop the conference standings. The Aggies came back from a 10-point halftime deficit after inserting Marcel Reed in at quarterback in the second half.
It was all chalk most of Saturday. No. 12 Notre Dame took advantage of six turnovers by No. 24 Navy in a 51-14 blowout. No. 4 Ohio State and No. 13 Indiana quelled any upset fears by holding on at home in Big Ten battles. Then No. 1 Oregon, No. 3 Penn State and No. 5 Texas took care of business later.
Otherwise, Saturday seemed like a showcase for personal achievements, with Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith becoming the first freshman in 19 years to catch a TD in each of his first seven games and Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel moving into the No. 2 spot in all-time touchdown passes.
And in the nightcap, Colorado became bowl eligible with an impressive 34-23 win over Cincinnati. The Buffaloes are now 6-2.
