College football schedule: Week 9 Big 12 and top 25 game times, TV listings, live stream, and more
By Brian Spaen
There’s no Iowa State this week, and four Big 12 teams are sitting this week out, but there’s still plenty to chew on in Week 9 of the College Football season.

Kansas State and TCU will continue to battle for not only the Big 12, but to try to get back into College Football Playoff contention. They’ll be hosting a pair of other Texas squads with an identical 3-4 record and are looking for wins themselves to get into a bowl game.
Nationally, four of the top six squads will try to avoid road upsets. Three SEC West teams are on the road and Oregon plays in a neutral site game against California at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
If you don’t like the Big Ten, Pac-12, or SEC, I’d recommend you sit this week out. All three of those conferences take center stage in the top 25 matchups. Some games to watch that don’t involve the top six teams are Ohio State-Penn State, Arizona State-Washington, and a top 25 matchup between USC-Utah.
All games on Saturday unless noted. Big 12 games organized by time are listed first, then the rest of the Top 25 schedule is below in order by ranking.
