As we hit the end of October, we are starting to get a more clear picture on the College Football Playoff candidates.

One of the several remaining unbeatens is Penn State, who will resume play after a BYE week with a road trip to face a revitalized Wisconsin team with backup quarterback Braedyn Lock reinvigorating the offense.

Elsewhere in SEC play there are a ton of consequential games on deck, with LSU travelling to face Texas A&M in a potential College Football Playoff elimination game.

The action gets started on Friday night with a battle of two of the arguably best teams in the Group of Five ranks when Boise State and UNLV meet in a showcase for the CFP.

Get started with Week 9 below with the opening odds for each game.
