There weren't as many surprising results during Week 9 as we've grown accustomed to this season, but some surprising teams continued to make their mark.
Georgia Tech remained unbeaten by thumping Syracuse, Vanderbilt beat Missouri to improve to 7-1 for its best start since 1941, Indiana rolled over UCLA to stake its claim as the best team in college football, and Navy won again, moving to 7-0.
All four of those teams are in the mix for the College Football Playoff, something few would have foreseen a couple of months ago.
As with last season's inaugural 12-team CFP, the five highest-ranked conference champions, plus the next seven highest-ranked teams, will make the field. Unlike last year, the four highest-ranked teams (not necessarily conference champions) will be awarded first-round
