If looking for ranked contests to make Week 9 college football picks on, you’ll have to look at the SEC, as the conference has all three such matchups. No. 3 Texas A&M vs. No. 20 LSU (+2.5), No. 8 Ole Miss vs. No. 13 Oklahoma (-4.5) and No. 10 Vanderbilt vs. No. 15 Missouri (+2.5) will help shape the conference’s hierarchy, but there are intriguing matchups outside of the SEC. The latest Week 9 college football odds have No. 2 Indiana at -25.5 versus UCLA in the Big Ten, No. 9 Miami at -30.5 versus Stanford in the ACC and No. 11 BYU at +2.5 versus Iowa State in the Big 12.
The Group of Five shouldn’t be overlooked with any college football predictions either with South Florida of the American the highest-ranked team outside the Power Four. The 18th-ranked Bulls are favored by 5.5 points over a Memphis squad coming off its first defeat, according to the latest Week 9 college football spreads.

Top college football predictions for Week 9
One of the college football picks the model is high on during Week 9: Washington (-4.5, 53.5) covers versus No. 23 Illinois in a 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday kickoff. UW will host this contest, which is important to note as the Huskies have been one of the best home teams versus the spread under Jedd Fisch. Since he took over last year, Washington is 7-3 ATS at home and 6-2 versus the line as a home favorite. Illinois was embarrassed with a 53-point loss at Indiana earlier this year, and the Illini are coming off an 18-point loss — and failing to cover — at home versus Ohio State on Saturday. Add in that Washington has defeated Illinois in four straight meetings, and the model has the Huskies (-4.5) covering almost 60% of the time. See which other picks the model likes here.
Another prediction: Colorado (+13.5, 49.5) covers against Utah in nearly 60% of simulations Saturday at 10:15 p.m. ET. The Buffs upset then-No. 22 Iowa State in Week 7 before their bye, and Colorado is 3-1 ATS following a bye under Deion Sanders. On the other hand, Utah is just 1-5 ATS with a rest disadvantage over the last four seasons, and the Utes lost their AP ranking with a defeat to BYU on Saturday. Utah’s once vaunted defense has been exploited in recent weeks as it’s allowed an average of 204 rushing yards, and forced zero turnovers, over the last three weeks. With the running ability of Colorado QB Kaidon Salter, who’s averaging over 50 yards on the ground with three scores over his last four games, the Buffs have enough offense to stay within the line. The model also predicts the Under hits well over 60% of the time. See the rest of the model’s picks here.
