Week 9 was packed full with thrillers, from No. 14 Wisconsin's win at No. 25 Indiana, to No. 17 Butler pulling off the upset over defending champion and No. 1 Villanova, and everything in between, including Notre Dame up-ending No. 8 Louisville, and No. 3 Baylor staving off Oklahoma State to stay unbeaten.
