As Saturday's Week 9 college football odds are finalized, key games and numbers are emerging. The Alabama–South Carolina game is nearing a 14-point spread in Columbia, while Texas–Mississippi State is steady at 7 points in Starkville, and Texas A&M–LSU is approaching a 3-point spread in Baton Rouge.
Totals have shifted due to pace swings and backdoor risk in games like Syracuse–Georgia Tech in Atlanta and Ole Miss–Oklahoma in Norman. Prime time games feature Wisconsin–Oregon in Eugene and Michigan–Michigan State in East Lansing.
It's a numbers day, not a narratives day: find flat 7s, respect 3/7/10/14, and shop every half-point before limits do the talking.
