In Part 2 of our College Football Rivalry Week extravaganza, we dive into The Game between Ohio State and Michigan and talk through what it'll take for the Buckeyes to break their four-game losing streak, and spitball the ways that Michigan could win their fifth straight in college football's biggest rivalry. We also unpack the implications of the Iron Bowl and debate a De Facto National Championship situation for Auburn and whether Deuce Knight can be an X-factor. Plus, Miami's huge road test at Pitt, a smaller-than-expected point spread with Oregon traveling to Washington, and an intra-Tennessee battle between Vandy and the Vols. And to make sure you're fully prepared, we go rapid fire through 17 other big games in Week 14.

MAILBAG TIME! It's been far too long since we answered questions from the Verballerhood, so we reached out to our community on Verballers.com and picked out some of our favorites. Would you take Ohio State or The Field in a hypothetical CFP bet? Which Group of Six team has the best chance of pulling a massive first round upset in the playoff? Which conference is actually the best? Which team's coaching opening is the biggest domino? Does being a "blue blood" program matter anymore? Could Utah still make the CFP and win a game? Plus, a look at the upcoming Week 13 slate, the ramifications of Week 14, and a quick chat about the latest Verballer Top 12.

Welp, we ran long... but we had a lot to unpack!

In this episode, a quick look back at some of the storylines from Week 11 (and beyond) that deserve a little more attention, including Nebraska's "professional" win over UCLA, Bear Bachmeier's measurables, Delaware's quiet season, the weirdness of Kentucky and Duke football, and something we're calling the Pitt Measuring Stick. Then, we pose six big questions for each other, taking a look at our favorite team outside the top four, the best landing spot for James Franklin, how to fix bad refs, the most and least trustworthy QBs, the best remaining game, and more. And finally, we close out with an extended look at Notre Dame's trip to Pitt and a revenge spot for Texas on the road against Georgia.
