Week 9 of the college football season provided plenty of excitement, and a handful of upsets to boot.
The most notable upset came courtesy of unranked Kansas, who welcomed No. 6 Oklahoma to town and dispatched the College Football Playoff contenders, 38–33. Elsewhere, No. 17 North Carolina fell to unranked Georgia Tech for its second consecutive loss as a double-digit favorite.
No. 1 Georgia took care of business in emphatic fashion with a 23-point win against rival Florida, while No. 3 Ohio State and No. 5 Washington survived tough road tests to continue their undefeated seasons.
