Welcome to the weird, wild world of college football, where the rankings are always in a state of flux.
Texas’ loss to Georgia last weekend allowed Oregon to make the leap to No. 1 in the AP poll for the first time since 2012. The Ducks will attempt to hold onto the crown when they face No. 20 Illinois in a Week 9 Big Ten showdown.
The Longhorns, who dropped down to No. 5, will have to turn the page quickly, as they will hit the road for a battle with No. 25 Vanderbilt. Elsewhere in the SEC, No. 15 Alabama will take on No. 21 Missouri, and No. 8 LSU will meet No. 14 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in a primetime matchup.
Here is everything you need to know about the Week 9 schedule, including TV and streaming options for the biggest games.
Is there a college football game tonight?
There will be multiple games to watch on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the typical Saturday slate. Two ranked teams (No. 19 Pittsburgh and No. 17 Boise State) will be in action on Thursday and Friday.
