Let\u2019s take a look at all of the headlines from the ninth week of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sooner-loser\">Sooner Loser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be<strong> a shakeup in the top 5<\/strong> this week after the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners fell on the road to Kansas State. Despite a promising season up to this point, the Oklahoma defense let the team down, allowing 24 straight points in the second half to put the Sooners behind 48-23 early in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A late comeback effort wasn\u2019t enough, as Oklahoma lost 48-41. The Sooners <strong>can still win the Big 12<\/strong>, but they may not have enough quality wins to overcome a loss on their resume and get into the top four by the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tiger-battle\">Tiger Battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No. 2 LSU won the SEC\u2019s battle of the Tigers on Saturday,<strong> holding off No. 9 Auburn 23-20<\/strong> in Baton Rouge. The Bayou Bengals outgained Auburn by over 200 yards but still had to hold onto a slim lead late. The win keeps LSU undefeated heading into its showdown with No. 1 Alabama in two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Auburn <strong>now has two losses on the season<\/strong> but might have a chance to work its way into the College Football Playoff conversation with games left against Georgia and Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-he-back\">Is He Back?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Alabama, the Crimson Tide were fine with Mac Jones filling in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa against Arkansas on Saturday. After the game, Nick Saban <strong>gave positive news about Tagovailoa<\/strong>, implying that he might be back for the Nov. 9 game against LSU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saban said that Tagovailoa is <strong>on track to return to practice<\/strong> by the middle of next week after undergoing surgery to treat a high-ankle sprain. Saban tried to play down his quarterback\u2019s return to practice to manage expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Alabama head coach also noted that Tagovailoa\u2019s injury <strong>isn\u2019t as serious <\/strong>as the one he had last season when he required the same surgery before the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-run-continues\">The Run Continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The magical run for the Minnesota Golden Gophers will continue for at least a couple more weeks. The No. 17 Golden Gophers crushed Maryland 52-10 on Saturday <strong>to improve to 8-0 on the season<\/strong>. It\u2019s Minnesota\u2019s best start since 1941 when it won the national championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden Gophers will get next week off before playing host to No. 6 Penn State, which <strong>will also enter the game at 8-0<\/strong>. Minnesota also has to play Iowa and Wisconsin in November, but with a two-game lead atop the Big Ten West division, it is in the driver\u2019s seat for a spot in the Big Ten Championship Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"not-the-end\">Not the End<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Notre Dame will have a bad taste in its mouth after being blown out 45-14 against Michigan on Saturday night. The good news is that <strong>they\u2019ll get a shot at redemption<\/strong> against the Wolverines, but the bad news is they\u2019ll have to wait a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michigan and Notre Dame have agreed to continue their series in 2033 and 2034, <strong>keeping their storied rivalry alive<\/strong>. Both games will be early in the season with the Wolverines hosting in 2033 and Notre Dame in 2034.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another memorable college football weekend is in the books, even if it\u2019s one that a few teams across the country would prefer to forget.
