Please use this thread to discuss all 2026 CFB games that are played in Week 9 of the season (10/30 & 31), with the exception of the PSU - Purdue game, which will have its own game thread.
Illinois-Maryland is bragging rights for @BobPSU92 and me. As big as they come.Early day lineup isn't great
Texas Tech-Arizona (go Cats!) could have playoff implications
Iowa-Wisconsin is interesting just to see if either are legit--would be an insanely important game next year
Duke-BC is big for the coaches...Manny needs that win
My bald spot is elite.BC-Duke Manny's hair is still elite
Bad football can be entertaining.Illinois-Maryland is bragging rights for @BobPSU92 and me. As big as they come.
Dang, you rarely see a sequence of three straight bad plays like this. Second and eight, Illinois has a guy run a short curl at the sideline, an easy first down and the ball is thrown way wide, incomplete. Third down they go for a bomb, dropped in the end zone, hit the guy in the numbers, not an easy catch but it was right there. Then a missed field goal.Bad football can be entertaining.
Maryland also playing their first game with their new coach.Watching Cal at NCState only because i put some $$ on NCState to cover. Some observations... NCState offense is pretty bad. Dave Clawson is a really good analyst.
Guess we’re seeing the typical Notre Dame-Navy script once again.That sucks--Navy needed the lead at the half to make it interesting--probably blows up now
Trying way too hard--they beat USC last week and they're 5-3. This is college football in 2026--not sure why you and others continue to act surprised. See BYU-UCF then Baylor-UCFYeah Wisconsin is a really good team LMFAO. Told you all they were nothing better than a middling team. All the lame-0s claiming they were a potential Playoff team - laughable nonsense.
Yep, two weeks in a row with come from behind wins. Angeli has a nice receiving corp there.Nice win by the Cuse
