Week 9 is here and the FanSided staff is ready to make their college football picks and predictions for the week’s biggest games.

For the first time this year, our FanSided college football pick ’em has a new leader. I was leading since I started out with a 10-0 opening week but I have since been caught and we are in a tight race as we head toward the stretch run.

There isn’t a high quantity of marquee matchups this week but we have three intriguing matchups with Clemson at Florida State, Washington at Utah and Nebraska at Wisconsin that should decide the Big Ten West. Outside of that, we have a lot of good, albeit not necessarily must-see TV, unless you’re a fan of those teams.

With the Seminoles hosting the Tigers, we’ve brought in Jason Parker who is a site expert at Chop Chat, our Florida State team site, to make picks for the 10 biggest games of the week with the rest of the FanSided staff. Jason is on an island this week as the lone person to pick Dalvin Cook and the Noles over Deshaun Watson and the Tigers.

You can check out all of our picks below.
