ESPN writers rank the best teams in college football after Week 9 of the 2023 season.
Lawrence Arnold hauls in a big fourth-down reception, then Devin Neal scores the go-ahead touchdown to put Kansas ahead for good against Oklahoma. For other teams, wins and losses help positioning for conference championship runs or bowl positions.
The Buckeyes aren't the prettiest CFP contender, but they have grinded their way through a tricky road schedule and several physical games to remain perfect on the season. Wide receiver. continued to muscle his way into the quarterback-heavy Heisman conversation with another exceptional performance, recording six receptions for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
The Sooners held off a frantic UCF rally last week and survived, but they couldn't do the same against a Kansas team that took advantage of a Sooners defense that is suddenly struggling after looking rejuvenated early in the season. The Sooners committed three turnovers and had 11 penalties for 101 yards. After a weather delay, the Sooners leaned on the run, with quarterbackcompleting six of eight passes for just 41 yards and an interception in the first half.
After being tied at halftime with Colorado State, Air Force was able to pull away in the second half, however, scoring 17 unanswered points in the second half. Air Force running backfinished the game with 130 rushing yards and a touchdown, scoring one of the three rushing touchdowns for the team. Colorado State had success through the air, throwing for 297 yards and a touchdown, but Air Force limited Colorado State on the ground, holding the team to just 42 yards rushing.
After two weeks of progress, Utah's early-season offensive struggles returned in a dismal 35-6 loss to Oregon. The defeat doesn't mathematically eliminate Utah from the Pac-12 championship game picture; however, the chances of the two-time defending conference champion defending its title are now very low. It wasn't just the offense that was an issue Saturday against Oregon, either.
