College football live scores, updates: Illinois at Oregon, Texas at Vanderbilt and more
Week 9 features five matchups between teams ranked in the AP Top 25.
It’s the most ranked matchups so far this season, which means we could be in store for another great Saturday of college football.
Here’s what we're keeping an eye on later today. (Scroll down for live updates.)
No. 5 Texas at No. 25 Vanderbilt
Time: 4:15 p.m. | TV: SEC Network | Line: Texas -18.5 | Total: 53.5
The newly ranked Commodores get the Longhorns at home three weeks after pulling off a huge upset over Alabama. Can Vandy shock the world again? A lot will depend on the play of dual-threat QB Diego Pavia, who faces a Texas team coming off an ugly loss to Georgia a week ago.
No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M
Time: 7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Texas A&M -2.5 | Total: 53.5
These are the only teams without an SEC loss this season, so the winner will have an inside track to the conference title game. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier has been one of the most productive QBs in the nation so far, and he'll face an A&M defense that has defended the pass very well.

End of Q1: Alabama 3, Missouri 0
We'd love to share highlights of this game, but there haven't been any.
The Tide have the lead, but the Tigers have the ball at midfield. Missouri QB Brady was listed as doubtful for the game, but he's playing.

Here's where things stand as the first wave of games hits halftime:
- Yahoo Sports Staff
Halftime: Notre Dame 31, Navy 7
The Irish add a field goal just before the break in a game they've dominated thus far.
Navy didn't have a fumble all season coming into this game. It has three in the first half in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
- Yahoo Sports Staff
Halftime: Ohio State 14, Nebraska 6
The Cornhuskers made it a one-score game as time expired in the first half with a long field goal by John Hohl.
- Yahoo Sports Staff
Navy misses FG
Now it's the Midshipmen missing an easy field goal just before the halftime break. It's been a weird and undisciplined game so far for Navy.

Touchdown Ohio State!
Freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith has his first score of the game on a 60-yard deep ball from Will Howard.
