College football live scores, games, updates: Notre Dame vs. Navy and more

College football live scores, games, updates: Notre Dame vs. Navy and more

Week 9 features five matchups between teams ranked in the AP Top 25.

These are the highest-scoring matchups so far this season, meaning we’re in for another great college football Saturday.

Here’s what we’re keeping an eye on today. All times are Eastern and all odds are from BetMGM.

Time: Noon | TV: ABC | Line: Notre Dame -12.5 | Overall: 51.5

The Midshipmen have been absolutely dominant in their 6-0 start. Navy ranks fourth in the nation with 44.8 points per game and opponents are averaging just 19.7 points per game. Admittedly, Notre Dame is by far the toughest team Navy has seen this season. The Fighting Irish continue to battle injuries as they are missing five starters.

Time: 3:30 p.m. | TV: CBS | Line: Oregon -21.5 | Overall: 54.5

The oddsmakers clearly like Oregon, as the Illini are the last remaining currently ranked team on Oregon’s schedule. Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel and running back Jordan James will have to contend with an Illinois defense that is giving up just 18 points per game and has forced 13 turnovers.

Time: 3:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Alabama -16.5 | Overall: 51.5

The Tigers’ chances of pulling off an upset could be slim as QB Brady Cook and leading rusher Nate Noel may miss the game due to injury. Former Arizona State and Notre Dame QB Drew Pyne appears to be in the starting lineup against an Alabama team desperate to bounce back from its second loss of the season last week against Tennessee.

Time: 4:15 p.m. | TV: SEC Network | Line: Texas -18.5 | Overall: 53.5

The newly ranked Commodores host the Longhorns at home, three weeks after pulling off a major upset over Alabama. Can Vandy shock the world again? Much will depend on the play of dual-threat QB Diego Pavia a week ago against a Texas team that suffered a bad loss to Georgia.

Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas A&M -2.5 | Overall: 53.5

These are the only teams without an SEC loss this season, giving the winner a glimpse into the conference title game. LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier has been one of the most productive QBs in the country and will face an A&M defense that has defended the pass very well.
