We’re just over a week away from Halloween and spooky season has come a lot earlier for some college football programs than others. Nevertheless, a ton of teams are still in the mix for their conference championship games—and Saturday should do wonders for helping us thin the herd.
If you’re only into college football for the heavy hitters, Week 9 isn’t for you. But this Saturday features some of the most intriguing games of the season, including three matchups between Big Ten teams that sit at 5–2. That’s why we’re calling this “Contenders vs. Pretenders Week”—because it’s time to separate the real from what’s fake and a number of the best games to watch this week will help us do that.
