This bye week teased all kinds of chaos. While we didn't have a full blood week, we had what I'd like to term as a flesh would, with Wisconsin playing the part of the Black Knight, finding his limbs quickly dismembered.

I roll solo on this show to break down everything that happened while we were all eating cheeseburgers, including Notre Dame sliding into the top spot of a rather impressive statistical category.

I'm not really sure how to describe this episode as it went even more off the rails than our typical bye week endeavors.

Jack Crosby of CBS Sports joins Eddie, Shane, and I for an audio adventure of epic proportions.

We talk football, how to cook a steak in a beer cooler, pro wrasslin', Baby Metal, anime, and seemingly everything under the sun for far too long.

The only thing that we can guarantee is that I stayed up far too late editing the podcast because Jack's audio somehow time traveled repeatedly. Thankfully we have a coherent copy after far too much work.

Well...as coherent as this insanity can be.

Notre Dame may be on a bye, but the picks pod takes no weeks off!

Eddie and I look to continue riding our October hot streak by picking another 14 games. The slate may not be loaded, but you need to enjoy something while enjoying your cheeseburgers and, hopefully, watching all the chaos erupting all around the college football world.

As we have with any Notre Dame night game, Shane and I hopped on the channel for a true post-game show.

This week, there was loads to talk about as the chaos has truly begun with Georgia falling, the SEC being involved in an actual entertaining shootout, and Notre Dame ending up in a dog-fight with their biggest rival.

Start off your bye week with us, bask in the glow of beating SC for the third year in a row, and get that Michigan hate brewing.

Yes, there is three full minutes of a cold open in this episode. Clearly, we've had far too much success and smooth sailing, so everything came crashing back down in spades during our live recording. Those three minutes are a small sample of the sheer panic I had while trying to get everything working again.

Thankfully, I managed to not just get the live stream audio fully functioning again, but somehow managed to edit a coherent (well, for HLS anyways) episode and sim.

...and now that the sim has ended, I wish I had just rage quit.

Enjoy?

The last week of college football was the calm before the storm. There are four top-25 games, one of which is a top ten affair, and another which is a heated rivalry.

Oh, and to top it all off, Notre Dame takes on Southern Cal.

It's going to be a big week. Get ready with us.

With seven teams in the top 25 on a bye, a handful more involved in non-competitive blowouts (including Notre Dame!), and multiple top 25 teams falling out of the rankings due to upsets, it was a weird week.

It wasn't a blood week nor was it boring, but more a calm before the storm for what looks like a loaded week 7.

Shane and I navigate our way through the week, a cathartic blowout of BVG, and set our sites toward Southern Cal.

The most accurate prediction tool in all of sports had…well, let's just say it had some surprises. There's really no explaining or even teasing this. It has to be seen or heard.

With a double bye week season we were bound to have a week or two with a bit of a lighter slate. This week is one of those weeks with only 10 games on our docket.

But it doesn't matter if the weeks are jam-packed full of games of the week of the year of the century, a blood week waiting to happen, or just a scattering of interesting matchups. Picks must be made and the altar of GAMBLOR must be visited.

After a noon slate that was just full of weird and ugly, we were treated to a tease of an upset of #1 (and they aren't #1 anymore so kinda happened?), and then transitioned to straight murder in the prime-time slate.

I'd like to think that the Notre Dame defense really kick started the massive destruction in the second half against Virginia. The argument would probably be a little bit stronger with some better offensive execution, but I guess Irish fans can't have everything that they want.

Come join Shane and I on this journey of blowouts, sacks, and Pat Fitzgerald struggling to figure out how math works.
