Week 9 Results: A&M, Ole Miss, Alabama

Week 9 of the college football season saw Texas A&M remain the SEC's only unbeaten with a 49–25 road win at LSU; No. 8 Ole Miss defeated No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12 Vanderbilt upset No. 14 Missouri, and No. 17 Tennessee routed Kentucky, while Florida and Georgia were idle. A&M quarterback Marcel Reed had two passing and two rushing touchdowns — including a 41-yard TD scramble — and KC Concepcion added a 79-yard punt-return score, strengthening Reed’s Heisman case as LSU’s offense faltered late. Alabama edged South Carolina on a pair of gadget plays by Germie Bernard, including a 42-second, game-winning direct-snap touchdown, leaving South Carolina needing upsets to salvage bowl hopes in its final conference home game at Williams‑Brice Stadium. At the Division III level, Cortland extended its streak to six with a 31–7 win over St. John Fisher, while Ithaca, Alfred State and Hartwick posted notable Southern Tier results. Betting and broadcast notes included Fox Sports’ best bets and College GameDay guest picks that largely favored A&M, and the weekend featured regional previews such as the Magic City Classic and Arizona State’s upcoming game at Houston.
