A&M's Baton Rouge Curse, Houston's Big Test, and Baylor's Season on the Brink
Can Texas A&M win in Death Valley for the first time since 1994? Does Houston stop Arizona State from taking over Texas? Will the Baylor Bears save their season and maybe Dave Aranda's job?

Ready or not, we’re entering Week 9 of the college football season in the Lone Star State. This week is headlined by Power Four road trips with high stakes as Texas A&M travels to LSU, Texas heads to Mississippi State, and the upstart Houston Cougars take on Arizona State in Tempe. Baylor is on the road against Cincinnati, SMU heads to Wake Forest, and TCU travels to West Virginia, as well.
The slate is lighter in the G5 ranks as UTSA, Texas State, UTEP, and Sam Houston are idle. North Texas is a heavy favorite on the road against Charlotte and the Rice Owls are back in action with a game against UConn.
