Ten best Week 9 CFB ATS bets

College Football

Entering 2008, the BYU Cougars were coming off consecutive Mountain West titles that featured unblemished conference records and identical 11-2 overall marks. Those performances had earned BYU only its second and third straight Las Vegas Bowl appearances, so the 2008 team came up with a new motto: Quest For Perfection. That squad bought in mentally for an undefeated season, making T-shirts and plastering the slogan everywhere. Naturally, when the first loss came -- a 32-7 midseason thrashing at TCU -- the team went in the tank the rest of the way, nearly losing at home to 24-point underdog UNLV the following week, covering just one game during the second half of the season and closing with an unsurprising loss in a fourth straight Vegas Bowl.
