The Solid Verbal: Keep doubting Week 9 home underdogs at your own risk

It’s Week 9 and we think we know a good amount about most teams, but let’s ask some questions:

• Is there any hope for a struggling Michigan State to keep it close with a surging Jim Harbaugh and Michigan?

• Is Auburn being underestimated against Ole Miss?

• What weakness could Utah exploit against the clear class of the Pac-12, Washington?

• Can West Virginia keep up their all-around performance, particularly on defense, against a down, but still dangerous TCU?

• Is Ohio State blowing out Northwestern a sure thing?

• Other than the lack of Art Briles, how is this year’s Baylor team different on the field than previous Bear squads as they head to Austin to take on a troubled Texas?

• How do Florida and Georgia, two teams led by their defenses, stack up on a neutral field?

... and much more!
