Week 9 is officially in the books, and what a Saturday for the underdogs! . . . to flirt with an upset and then invariably lose to the heavy favorite.

Join us, while the we break down the final Saturday slate before the first College Football Playoff committee ranking, and how said slate will inform said ranking.

Week 9 may be the worst schedule of the season, but there are still a number of potential upsets, even if not of the earth-shattering variety.

Technically, TCU, Clemson and Oklahoma State are all playing in potential upset games, too. Plus, y'know, college football is college football. To the preview!

Man, it's the worst schedules that yield the most unlikely upsets, eh?

Well, is Utah losing to a USC team who's favored by 6.5 really an upset? What does Florida State's loss mean? Is Lane Kiffin the next Miami coach? How's Burgerville's pumpkin spice milkshake?

All that and more in The College Football Podcast's Week 8 recap.

Look, no; Week 8 is not a great schedule of games. But you know what's worse? The middle of May.

So sit back and embrace the first of two straight weeks of mediocrity with the boys, who preview the road to the Fun Belt championship, the battle of A&M and Ole Miss, the insane line of Utah-USC, and everything in between. As far as awful slates go, it's a pretty good one.

The latest Separation Saturday is behind us, and one clear favorite to win the national title has emerged: Iowa, obviously.

Or wait, no; that can't be right. In the latest episode, the boys tackle that very issue, while recapping one of the season's best weeks yet.

Well, it's official: The 2015 college football season is halfway over. I mean, presuming you don't count the week that solely contains Army-Navy. (We don't.) Naturally, the season's going exactly how we thought it would be at this juncture. Florida and Utah in the playoff? Who didn't have that?

Today, the boys preview the season's midpoint action, a pretty strong slate from top (Bama-A&M, LSU-Florida) to bottom (something involving Kansas or North Texas, I s'pose). Enjoy.

It was a tumultuous Week 6 for teams and coaches alike, notably Oregon and Oklahoma and, very much especially, Steve Sarkisian and Randy Edsall. So how do you make sense of the craziness?

In the absence of Ja Rule, the CFP boys are here to break down the best and worst from a pretty memorable slate.

Back in August, would you have guessed that Northwestern-Michigan would be the Week 6 game with the biggest playoff ramifications? Us too.

The boys look ahead to a surprisingly robust slate this weekend, starting out with a decent Thursday night game. I mean, as far as robustness in football goes, anyway.

What a weekend, eh?

In Week 5, four of college football's top ten fell, leaving some expected playoff contenders reeling and at least one squad wildly overrated. The boys look back over a Saturday for the books, and attempt to figure out how it affects the landscape going forward.

The boys tackle the Week 5 preview, a slate that already features make-or-break games for a couple of potential national title contenders. Alabama and (probably) Clemson, looking at you.
