We did it y'all. We made it. It's GAME WEEK! It's less than a week 'til it's Saturday In Athens and all is right with the world. Seth and James bark about:
- Excitement about college football being back and why a college football Saturday ain't much different than church on Sunday
- Sam Hartman's debut for the Irish and why he might be James and Steve Hutchinson's long-lost triplet
- Carson Beck gearing up for his first start as QB1 and why the intangibles will matter as much as the physical tools
- More attrition in Georgia's running back room and why Cash Jones's name keeps coming up
- Predictions on the Dawgs record, who makes the CFP, and rushing, receiving, sacks and interceptions leaders
