Week 9 is the last college football weekend before the College Football Playoff committee starts revealing its top 25 rankings. Enjoy these numbers next to teams' names while they last, because a lot of them will change!

Below, a full schedule for your Saturday, with TV and streaming info, all arranged in order of watchability. That's a subjective combination of stakes, quality, competitiveness, and what else is on at the time.

These games themselves will do plenty to change the rankings, with three ranked vs. ranked games and nine other ranked teams playing away from home. The weeknights got us started, with Virginia Tech beating Pitt in an ugly, entertaining game and USF knocking off No. 22 Navy and maybe knocking the AAC out of the New Year's race.

Today's headliners: Washington-Utah, Nebraska-Wisconsin, Clemson-Florida State, and some big rivalry games.

Notes on the WATCH THIS games:

  • Hi, it's late October and West Virginia still has a straight path to the National Championship. Oklahoma State hasn't been anything special, but this is a long road trip and still one of WVU's toughest opponents yet. Per S&P+, WVU is one of the likeliest unbeatens to go down this weekend.
  • Remember when we told you Stanford-Washington was the biggest Pac-12 game of the year? Turns out it might be this one! Either UW beats its first actually good opponent of the year, or the Utes are suddenly a Power 5 conference's top Playoff contender. The Huskies are two-score favorites in Salt Lake City.
  • IMO, Nebraska-Wisconsin is the weekend's second most important game. Probably not the biggest (Clemson-FSU) and probably not the best (your team's game), but consider the stakes: If NU wins, the undefeated Huskers should rank in the top 10 (they already do, because voters like records with zeroes in them). If UW wins, the Badgers have a shot at becoming the first-ever two-loss Playoff team. This has more winner-take-all potential than even Washington-Utah, because
  • Clemson-FSU will be big and great, but the stakes just aren't quite what we'd hoped for. The Tigers can afford a loss and still win the ACC Atlantic, and the Noles' highest goal is probably an Orange Bowl, with two teams ahead of them in the division. Still! Big environment, growing rivalry, and tons of talent.
  • The late-night is a little underwhelming on paper, but one of these games will get dumb. Stanford-Arizona could be like 19-17, but that game-winning field goal clank will be really weird!
