 RJ Youthful FOX Sports University Football Expert Michael Cohen College Football and College Basketball Author The knock on No.  2 Ohio State is that the Buckeyes have actually had a soft routine thus far this period.  That adjustments this Franklin's No.  13 Penn State Nittany Lions will invite Ryan Day's Buckeyes to Delighted Valley in a vital Large Ten competition on Saturday.  The video game begins Week 9 of the college football weekend as the featured video game on "Large Twelve Noon First" on the various other crucial video games on the Saturday slate is a Big 12 face-off in between No.  9 Oklahoma State and No.  22 Kansas State.  Right here's what we're anticipating enjoying in several of the largest competitions this weekend.  SATURDAYWhat are you seeing in No.  2 Ohio State at No.  13 Penn State? Youthful: This is a possibility for the Buckeyes to do away with the arising narrative that they haven't played anyone all season, with their very first top-25 matchup and on the road against the Nittany Lions.  Since 2012, Penn State has defeated Ohio State as lot of times as Michigan has-- once-- and never in the Ryan Day period.  If the Buckeyes keep their current kind, there's no reason to think they desperate the Big 10 crown or perhaps-- gasp-- their very first national title because 2014.  Surprisingly, this 2022 Ohio State team looks a lot like 2018 Clemson.  Peep video game: 2018 Clemson: Scored 44. 3 factors per game, Permitted 13. 1 factors per game15-0, nationwide champs2022 Ohio State: Scores 49. 6 factors per gameAllows 14. 9 points per game7-0Clemson played 2 rated challengers in the regular season en path to the 2018 nationwide title: NC State and Boston College.  If the positions hold, Ohio State will certainly play two rated challengers in the normal period: Penn State and Michigan.  Clemson has actually shown all OSU has to do is : Provided the extraordinary depth in Ohio State's getting corps, a natural topic of discussion weekly is how the opponent's cornerbacks will certainly defend the sort of Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr.  and Julian Fleming.  Any additional production they obtain from No.  1 wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is still recuperating from a hamstring injury, feels like a bonus offer given the cornucopia of skill around him.  This week's competition is appealing as a result of the standout entertainers at Penn State in cornerbacks Kalen King and Joey Porter Jr. -- two players yet to allow a getting goal this season, according to Pro Football Emphasis.  King has the country's third-highest protection quality at 88. 9 and limitations opposing quarterbacks to an NFL passer rating of 62. 3.  Porter places 20th in coverage grade at 79. 8 and limits opposing quarterbacks to an NFL passer ranking of 53. 4.  The only college in the country with 2 cornerbacks rated more than Penn State's duo is Virginia, whose tandem of Anthony Johnson and Fentrell Cypress II rank 10th and 11th, respectively.  Can Penn State upset Ohio State? RJ Young is joined by Geoff Schwartz to sneak peek the most significant matchups in Week 9, including the Huge Midday competition between Penn State and Ohio State.  What are you looking ahead to seeing in No.  9 Oklahoma State at No.  22 Kansas State?Cohen: This game is everything about the large image.  2 weeks back, Oklahoma State failed versus TCU in a battle of undefeated Large 12 teams.  Then the Cowboys reacted with a come-from-behind win over Texas to keep their slim hopes of a College Football Playoff berth afloat.  Based upon the existing rankings, today's date with Kansas State represents the last chance for head instructor Mike Gundy's group to excite the committee by knocking off a ranked opponent.  Oklahoma State will require assistance to get to the playoff, but the Cowboys aren't dead just exact same 30,000-foot view is instructional when projecting Kansas State's future, albeit for a really various reason.  The Wildcats shed their leading 2 quarterbacks to injury in a 10-point loss to TCU last weekend, which propelled freshman Jake Rubley into action.  The lack of quality bordering that begins versus Oklahoma State is something, but the lasting health of starter Adrian Martinez and backup Will Howard lug significant implications for the trajectory of Kansas State's period as a : With Texas Christian left as the last undefeated team in the Large 12, this is a chance for Oklahoma State to firmly place itself right into the second area for the Huge 12 title game.  K-State hasn't exposed who will certainly begin at quarterback on Saturday after both Martinez and Howard left the video game versus TCU with leaves the door open for the OSU defense to star in this video game and placed with each other a controling performance just days before the CFP choice board discloses its preliminary positions on Tuesday.  Oklahoma State gets on the rise RJ Young shares his Week 9 Leading 25, including ideas on Oklahoma State after a sway Texas.  What passions you most in No.  8 Oregon at Cal? Youthful: Nobody requires design points if they're gon na make the CFP greater than the Ducks do.  After losing their season-opener to Georgia by 46 factors-- or 4 more than the Ducks have balanced in Pac-12 play-- it befits UO to emphatically do away with Justin Wilcox's Golden Bears by 3 TDs as they continue their march toward a possible location in the Pac-12 title : The theme of winning with style is definitely critical for Oregon as head coach Dan Lanning's team attempts to distance itself from the 49-3 pounding it suffered through Georgia to start the period.  Can they win that method against Cal? The numbers suggest it's feasible.  Cal rankings 83rd in complete protection at 392. 1 yards per video game and surrendered 476 lawns in a loss to Washington's high-powered infraction last week.  Huskies' quarterback Michael Penix Jr Rams Shop.  tossed for 376 lawns and two ratings, and 7 of his receiving targets captured a pass of 15 lawns or more.  The Bears are linked for 84th in sacks with 13, just four of which have actually come in the last three games.  That means Oregon QB Bo Nix should have lots of time to sling about No.  19 Kentucky at No.  3 Tennessee? Cohen: This is another intriguing offense-versus-defense competition.  There's no doubting Tennessee's firepower this period with the best scoring offense in the country and more gains of 40-plus backyards than anyone in FBS, with 21.  The next-closest Power 5 group is Ohio State with 14 gains of 40-plus lawns.  Quarterback Hendon Hooker is in the thick of the Heisman Trophy race alongside Ohio State quarterback C. J.  there's lots to be stated for Kentucky's protection under head train Mark Stoops, whose last 2 stops prior to arriving in Lexington were stints as the defensive organizer at Arizona and Florida State.  The Wildcats are 10th in total defense among Power 5 institutions and have restricted several explosive offenses well below their averages.  This includes holding Ole Miss to 399 lawns in a three-point loss, allowing just 279 backyards to Florida and maintaining Mississippi State in check with 225 yards last week.  Youthful: The Vols are the only team balancing a lot more factors per video game and yardage per video game than the Buckeyes.  What's even more? UT does not need the round for lengthy to obtain to 40 or 50 points-- regardless of who it plays.  Last season, they needed simply 14 mins of ownership to set up 45 on Kentucky in Lexington.  But this season the Vols are playing with an assumption to make the SEC title game for the very first time given that 2007.  Let's see if Smokey and the Vols can go quest.  Previewing Kentucky vs.  Tennessee RJ Young and Geoff Schwartz share their thoughts concerning the future game between Kentucky Wildcats and Tennessee Volunteers.  What's worth watching in No.  10 USC at ArizonaYoung: USC strolls right into a prospective trap game versus Arizona with star linebackers Eric Gentry and Shane Lee, and pass receiver Jordan Addison taken into consideration "day-to-day" with Grinch's protection will certainly also have to manage among one of the most gifted pass-catchers in the sporting activity for a successive week.  In their loss to Utah, tight end Dalton Kincaid racked up 16 catches for 234 yards-- while enabling more than 500 yards of offense.  Arizona wideout Jacob Cowing is an authentic Biletnikoff Honor prospect with 53 catches for 737 yards.  He's captured at the very least 6 comes on every game the Wildcats have actually played, and will likely play a large duty if the Wildcats are to pull off their initial top-10 trouble because defeating No.  10 USC in 2012.  Cohen: The skill inconsistency between these 2 programs is broad.  At Southern California, head trainer Lincoln Riley's roster has three previous five-star leads and 35 previous four-star prospects to rate 11th in the 247Sports Group Talent Composite.  At Arizona, where head train Jedd Fisch is looking for the institution's first winning season considering that 2016, the Wildcats have no former luxury prospects and 11 former four-star leads to rate 49th across the country.  However while the possibilities of a distress are slim-- as of Wednesday early morning the Trojans were preferred by 15. 5 factors-- Fisch has the kind of wide-ranging experience to create an offensive tactical plan that may problem a USC team outside the leading 70 in overall protection.  Fisch's resume consists of stops with the Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots.  He sprinkled university work in between and has Minnesota, Miami, Michigan and UCLA on his CV.  The football expertise is there for Fisch to take on the Trojans also if the roster fails.  Why the Wolverines are genuine Joel Klatt reacts to Michigan's dominant 41-17 sway Penn State.  And lastly, what captures your eye in Michigan State at No.  4 Michigan?Young: Will the touch hold? Michigan State is a 22. 5-point underdog to the Wolverines.  Considering that 2008, however, Michigan State is 10-4 against Michigan, including 5-2 in Ann this a get-right game for 3-4 MSU? If it is, Spartan quarterback Payton Thorne and pass receiver Keon Coleman will certainly need to form a duo much more dynamic than peanut butter and jelly because the Michigan company of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards has revenge on its : At the start of last season, the Michigan football order of business included beating Ohio State for the first time considering that 2011, winning the Huge Ten title for the very first time given that 2004 and reaching the University Football Playoff for the very first time duration.  Outside of Schembechler Hall, reporters asked yourself just how close head trainer Jim Harbaugh had become fired after an 11-8 record both previous periods and 4 successive dish losses.  Such lofty goals looked like wishful thinking for a group that had not been also component of preseason top-25 Harbaugh's team resisted the odds and bewildered the masses by surging towards the top of university football while achieving all three objectives.  The only point the Wolverines didn't do last period-- besides winning the national title-- was defeat their in-state competitors Michigan State.  Last October's 37-33 loss in East Lansing, at which point both teams were undefeated, left an open injury that still hasn't recovered.  This is a retribution ready Michigan, and the Wolverines have the firepower to win extra: College football Week 9: By the numbersJim Harbaugh dismisses James Franklin's 'whining' concerning tunnelWhy competitors from Pac-12, Huge 12 face steep climb to CFPCheck out the latest Huge Ten Power Positions'They're buying in': This defense is why Ohio State employed Jim KnowlesMichael Cohen covers college football and basketball for FOX Sporting activities with an emphasis on the Big 10.  Youthful is a national university football writer and analyst for FOX Sporting activities and the host of the podcast "The Top College Football Show.
