Predictions for every FBS game in Week 9.
Week 9 of the 2017 college football season features plenty of intriguing matchups, as conference play is in full effect with just six weeks of games remaining, and Athlon Sports is ready with complete predictions, preview and picks for the ninth weekend of action. The Week 9 slate kicks off on Thursday night with four games, including Eastern Michigan at Northern Illinois and Stanford taking on Oregon State in Corvallis. The Friday slate features three contests, as Florida State hopes to rebound from last week's loss to Louisville with a victory over Boston College, while Tulane takes on Memphis in a key AAC matchup. A full schedule of action is on tap for Saturday. Notre Dame is once again in the spotlight with a contest against NC State, and Ohio State hosts Penn State in the weekend's top game. Additionally, Oklahoma State-West Virginia, Georgia-Florida, Mississippi State-Texas A&M, Utah-Oregon, Georgia Tech-Clemson, Washington State-Arizona, USC-Arizona State and Michigan State-Northwestern are other key matchups slated to take place on Saturday.
