The Triple Option

Notre Dame vs Miami, CJ Carr, Ohio State vs Oregon, Utah vs BYU, Alabama vs LSU and College Football Playoff rankings shake up an epic Week 10 weekend.

Notre Dame doesn’t play anyone? Well, they heard you and took down the top ranked Miami Hurricanes behind a Heisman worthy performance from CJ Carr. Urban Meyer and Rob Stone debate how high the Irish can climb in the College Football Playoff rankings and how far the Hurricanes will fall after the upset in South Bend.

Plus Utah head coach Morgan Scalley drops by after their massive Holy War win over BYU in the Utah vs BYU rivalry, Urban tells Ohio State fans why there is still hope after their loss to Oregon, and why LSU won’t be sniffing the playoff this season after getting embarrassed by Alabama. The guys then break down the newly minted 24-team College Football Playoff format, the extinction of Conference Championship games, Coach being the newest member of the Florida Gator Ring of Honor, and preview Utah vs Arizona, Texas vs LSU, and USC vs Indiana.
