College football picks against the spread, Week 9: Oregon-Utah, Colorado-UCLA and more
Behold, the final weekend of the regular season before the College Football Playoff committee releases their inaugural ranking.
After Week 8 provided us with close calls for many of the nation’s top teams — Washington, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas and Alabama — the title contenders will have one more chance to make a first impression on the committee.
The initial rankings don’t mean much in the long run, but you’d rather be in the playoff race than out of it at this point. That makes this weekend ripe for more college football chaos.
Let’s make some picks.
