Pre Week 9 College Football Report

Okay, so where do the teams stand heading into Week 9 and who is playing whom this weekend?

Only a few upsets in Week 8. BYU was the only Top 10 to fall. They were joined by North Carolina and California in losing to unranked opponents. Several other ranked teams lost to higher ranked teams which resulted in their moving down in, and sometimes out of, the polls for Week 9. There are lots of new teams at the bottom of the list that were not there last week.

(Poll numbers are those of the teams entering Week 9. The numbers on parentheses after the teams’ names are their rankings after Week 8. Rankings are from the AP Writers’ Poll/the Coaches Poll/CBSSports.com in that order. NR= Not Ranked)
