Week 9 of the college football season brought more clarity as teams made their final statements before the release of the first College Football Playoff Rankings on Oct. 31. No. 7 Texas and No. 14 Notre Dame were among those who handled business convincingly, both winning at home by at least four scores. No. 1 Georgia. No. 4 Florida State, No. 8 Oregon and even No. 18 Louisville also put the selection committee on notice with impressive victories, but not everyone was smiling. Things didn't come easy at times for No. 10 Penn State, No. 5 Washington or even No. 3 Ohio State in wins against unranked opponents, and No. 6 Oklahoma's loss at Kansas was a disruptive outcome in the CFP race. The Sooners were the last remaining undefeated team in the Big 12, so their defeat eliminated the potential for five undefeated Power Five champions at the season's end.
