Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin give their reactions to Week 8 of the college football season. It was a thriller in Austin as Texas held on to defeat Ole Miss, giving yet another SEC team two losses. Texas Tech is no longer unbeaten as Cincinnati pulled off the big upset in historic Nippert. To cloud the Big 12 waters even more, BYU fell at UCF to leave the conference with one unbeaten remaining: Utah. Speaking of un-beatens, there aren't many. Miami dominated Pitt to remain perfect and UCLA cruised against Sparty. Shoutout Wisconsin for a major home win over USC, as the Luke Fickell doubters are quiet but the Lincoln Riley doubters are as loud as ever. What to make of the USC coaching situation and if the guys are feeling a change could be coming. A change was made at NC State after Stanford won on Friday, and Minnesota pulled off the upset over Iowa casting serious doubt on any chance the Hawkeyes had at making the dance.

Tennessee suffered a loss in one of the biggest results of the day, as South Carolina pulled it off thanks to several Tennessee penalties and mistakes, especially late. Tennessee is one of seven 2-loss SEC teams, including LSU who dominated Auburn. Both Tennessee and LSU have a bye before facing Kentucky and Alabama, respectively, on a loaded slate on November 7. Plus, full reaction from Indiana's win over Michigan, Alabama-Texas A&M, Vanderbilt-Kentucky, live reaction of Utah-Houston, Virginia Tech-Clemson, Oklahoma State-Colorado, Arizona-Iowa State, Northwestern-Rutgers, Cal-SMU, Boise State-Washington State, Oregon-Illinois and more.
