We’ll learn plenty about the SEC in Week 9.
No. 8 Ole Miss got things started early in the day with a vital road win over No. 13 Oklahoma to move to 7-1. The afternoon window then provided the fireworks as No. 10 Vanderbilt held on to beat No. 15 Missouri after the Tigers’ last-gasp Hail Mary attempt came up just short of the goal line. No. 4 Alabama then eked out a road win over South Carolina and No. 22 Texas needed some late theatrics of its own to topple Mississippi State in overtime.

Here’s how to watch college football this week. (Scroll down for live updates.)
