We discuss Colorado's Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy over Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, in the closest race since 2009, when Ndamukong Suh came in 4th behind Colt McCoy (3rd), Toby Gerhart, and the winner, Mark Ingram.

We pivot to the college football playoff, and tackle the first round matchups; highlighting the battle in the Hoosier state.

In this one we recap rivalry week, including:

- the 8OT thriller between Georgia and Georgia Tech in Athens,

- South Carolina squeaking by Clemson late

- Alabama winning the Iron Bowl again

- Texas dominating Texas A&M for a spot in the SEC Championship

- and of course the biggest upset in the history of The Game, with Michigan kicking a late field goal to win and getting into a brawl with Ohio State after a flag planting mishap

We also preview the Championship Games, including:

- The Boise State vs UNLV rematch in the Mountain West

- Arizona State vs Iowa State in the Big XII

- SMU vs Clemson in the ACC

- The Georgia vs Texas rematch in the SEC

- and Oregon vs Penn State in the B1G

The Big Ten makes up 80% of the Top 5, but has no other teams in the Top 25.

We talk about all of Week 8, focusing particularly on Georgia’s dismantling of Texas. What does Quin Ewers being benched for Arch Manning mean long term for the Longhorns? We also try to figure out what’s wrong with Alabama after their loss at Tennessee, and how seriously we all need to be taking Indiana.

Previewing Week 9, we ponder if Michigan can get right against Michigan State, wonder who’s the healthier team between Bama and Mizzou, predict the LSU / Texas A&M outcome, and more!

Last weekend we were at a wedding and unable to watch any college football live, but we did go back and watch the OSU / Oregon game in full, and compressed versions of other games. We still review Week 7 and preview Week 8 including Georgia / Texas, Michigan / Illinois & Alabama / Tennessee

Vandy did it. The Commodores upset the AP #1 ranked team for the first team ever, and the Alabama Crimson Tide for the first time since 1984. It wasn’t a fluke, they led the entire game, and put up 40. That win overshadowed Arkansas’ upset of #4 Tennessee. Chaos hasn’t been seen like that since 2007. We talk about it, preview the Ohio State / Oregon game, and Michigan a little bit more
