But the grab-bag weeks, where you don&#8217;t know ahead of time what the main story will be and there are countless games and storylines to track, are even better.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to one hell of a Week 9 grab bag. To be sure, we&#8217;ve got big games: LSU and Texas A&amp;M, for instance, will play for the label of Surprise SEC Co-Favorite, and there are five ranked-versus-ranked games in all. But the subplots are legion. No. 3 Penn State has to visit maybe the hottest team in the Big Ten. Two of this season&#8217;s early darlings &#8212; Indiana and Navy &#8212; step into the spotlight. Boise State and UNLV meet in the biggest Group of 5 head-to-head game of the year. <a data-player-guid=\"6b4b2712-040d-3857-a7b7-c0133583a871\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/player\/_\/id\/5084180\/diego-pavia\">Diego Pavia<\/a> and Vanderbilt welcome another top-five team to Nashville; they couldn&#8217;t do it again, could they?<\/p>\n<p>Throw in another week of tight Big 12 matchups, diminished-but-salty rivalry games like Miami-Florida State and Michigan-Michigan State and the biggest smaller-school weekend to date, and you&#8217;ve got yourself one hell of a weekend.

The Tigers travel to College Station for one of three games that seem quite a bit more important than they might have a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"espn-plus-container-wrapper\" data-behavior=\"espnplus_login\">\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/insider\/story\/_\/id\/41980193\/college-football-week-9-preview-lsu-texas-alabama-oregon-notre-dame\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Connelly, ESPN Staff WriterOct 25, 2024, 07:00 AM ET Close Bill Connelly is a staff writer for ESPN.com.
