Rivalry games took center stage in college football's Week 9.
The Michigan State Spartans outlasted Michigan 37-33 to prove that they're no one's little brother -- especially when you have Kenneth Walker III on the roster --while Georgia flexed its muscle against Florida to the tune of a 34-7 rout. Both Georgia and Michigan State now have an inside track to the playoff but with games against Alabama and Ohio State ahead, respectively, the path isn't completely paved yet.
The Group of 5's best chance at the College Football Playoff, the Cincinnati Bearcats, survived a mediocre first half at Tulane and rallied for a comfortable victory to stay undefeated and in the playoff picture.
