It’s Week 8 of the 2025 college football season, and The Extra Point College Football Podcast is loaded with storylines. Jacob and Daniel break down Georgia’s win over Auburn, the importance of composure, and Kennesaw State’s rise under Jerry Mack. Then it’s on to the coaching carousel—who’s next to be fired—and a debate on whether James Franklin is Penn State’s Mark Richt or Gus Malzahn. The guys discuss Indiana’s incredible run under Kurt Cignetti, reveal the updated XPR Rankings, and highlight key games and uniform matchups. Finally, they make their picks against the spread for LSU–Vanderbilt, Georgia–Ole Miss, Alabama–Tennessee, and Notre Dame–USC.
