The SCA CommunityWeek 9 college football schedule features just two matchups of Top 25 teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll. But a few highly rated squads face potentially challenging conference games that might at least make our panel of experts think a little.

There are two games matching ranked opponents. The Pac-12 features No. 13 Utah hosting No. 9 Oregon, and in the ACC a couple of teams in need of a bounce-back win square off as No. 21 Duke visits No. 18 Louisville.

At the top of the rankings, No. 1 Georgia takes on archrival Florida in their annual showdown in Jacksonville, and No. 3 Ohio State must avoid a post-Penn State hangover as the Buckeyes visit Big Ten West leader Wisconsin. At the bottom, No. 25 James Madison takes the field for the first time as a ranked team hosting a key clash in the commonwealth with Old Dominion.

Here's how our pickers see those games going, as well as the rest of the Week 9 contests involving teams in the rankings.
