In an episode of the Until Saturday podcast, college football analysts Ari Wasserman, David Ubben, and Chris Vannini delved into the highly anticipated games of Week 9. From Oregon's clash with Utah to Georgia's showdown against Florida, and Ohio State's road game against Wisconsin, the trio discussed these crucial matchups and made their picks against the spread.

First up on their discussion was the game between Oregon and Utah. Wasserman expressed his belief in not underestimating Utah, questioning whether they might surprise everyone and emerge victorious in the Pac-12. However, Ubben countered, stating that he doesn't view Utah as a strong team, despite their 6-1 record and top 15 ranking. Ubben highlighted Oregon's impressive performance on both offense and defense, emphasizing their ability to go toe-to-toe with Utah. In the end, both Wasserman and Ubben sided with Oregon, with Wasserman particularly confident in their victory.

Next, the analysts turned their attention to the rivalry game between Georgia and Florida. Wasserman pondered whether there is true parity in college football this year or if Georgia will continue their dominant streak. Vannini chimed in, noting that while Florida has shown improvement, Georgia remains the stronger team. Ubben added that the outcome of the game hinges on Georgia's performance, as when they are focused and sharp, they are unbeatable. Ultimately, Wasserman and Ubben both favored Georgia to win comfortably, though they hoped for a competitive showing from Florida.

The final game discussed was the matchup between Ohio State and Wisconsin. Vannini regarded this as a trap game for Ohio State, cautioning that Wisconsin can be a challenging opponent at home. He pointed out that while Wisconsin has been disappointing this season, they tend to rise to the occasion for games like this. Ubben expressed skepticism about Wisconsin's ability to score against Ohio State's defense, leading him to tentatively choose Ohio State and lay the points. The analysts also highlighted the low over-under of 43.5 for an Ohio State game, signaling a shift in Ohio State's approach as they rely on a strong defense.

Though other games were mentioned during their discussion, such as Oklahoma at Kansas, Texas at BYU, and Tennessee at Kentucky, the focus of their analysis centered on the aforementioned matchups.

College football fans now eagerly await Week 9 to see how these games unfold and whether the analysts' predictions hold true.
