CFB WEEK 8 PREVIEW SHOW | CIGNETTI EXTENSION, TOP MATCHUPS | 10/16/2025
We open with the bombshell: Indiana extends Kurt Cignetti (reported 8 years, $93M), and the crew debates what it means for IU’s ceiling, the Mark Cuban factor, and where Cignetti ranks nationally right now. From there, we sprint into a loaded Week 8 slate—matching strengths/weaknesses, key matchup data, and where the spread/value actually sits.
What’s inside
Cignetti stays at Indiana: Legacy play, portal mastery, and why the Hoosiers’ last two seasons stack up historically.
Coaching tree talk: Saban → Kirby → Lanning, plus which “CEO-type” head coaches travel well without blue-blood advantages.
Penn State fallout: James Franklin reaction, discipline issues, and what’s next (including a GameDay interview note).
Miami vs Louisville (Fri): Elite ‘Canes front vs. Miller Moss volatility, ATS trends, and why Miami's first half might be cleaner than the full game.
LSU at Vanderbilt: Styles clash—Vandy’s run game vs. LSU’s front; turnover battle likely decides it, with differing leans on side vs. Over.
Georgia vs Ole Miss: Dawgs at home, second-half chokehold, and why UGA’s defensive front + first true road start for Trindon Chamberlain matter.
Texas Tech at Arizona State: Red Raiders’ trench edge; how Sam Leavitt’s status swings ASU’s upset chances.
USC at Notre Dame: ND’s trench advantage vs. Lemon/Maiava explosives—Irish to win, but is the number too big?
Alabama vs Tennessee (Third Saturday in October): Simpson Heisman surge game? Vols’ leaky pass D and why Bama’s team total is live.
Holy War (Utah–BYU): Physical, coin-flip vibes; small lean to the home Cougars vs. Utes’ trench grit.
