AP Top 25 Report- Post Week 9
Michigan (6-2) won its rivalry game against Michigan State 31-20 in East Lansing and moved up four spots. UM’s November schedule includes Purdue, Northwestern, and Maryland, before the Wolverines will look to make it five straight against archrivals Ohio State in Ann Arbor to end the season.
Week 9 of college football has largely unfolded as expected, even with several close calls. No. 7 Georgia Tech rolled past Syracuse 41-16, No. 4 Alabama edged South Carolina 29-22, No. 10 Vanderbilt beat Missouri 17-10 and No. 2 Indiana cruised to a 56-6 rout of UCLA.
Vanderbilt's 17-10 win over Missouri on Saturday was its best win yet, but it wasn't a wildly successful performance. The Commodores had nine fewer first downs, were outpossessed by nearly 13 minutes and the Tigers outgained them by over 100 yards.
