Here is the Week 9 college football TV schedule for the Top 25 games and predictions and breakdowns of the five best games of the week.

We’re getting down to the last month of the college football regular season and this is the time that the playoff contenders start to separate themselves.

The top teams in the nation had no problem in Week 8, with Alabama easily beating Tennessee at home, Penn State taking down Michigan in a home white-out and TCU pitched a shutout against Kansas.

Miami, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin were other top-10 teams to come out victorious heading into Week 9. The only real upset — which may not even be an upset — is No. 13 Notre Dame taking down No. 11 USC at home, but they seemed like the more complete team coming into the game.

Now we’re onto Week 9, where there are more fantastic matchups to better see the landscape in College football and start to pick the four playoff teams. Let’s take a look at the TV schedule for the Top 25 games, along with predictions and a preview of the five best games of the weekend.
