Show notes

Gary Parrish and Kyle Boone recap big wins from Duke and Arizona and discuss the ACC and Big 12 as a whole. Then, the Big Ten has an undefeated team in Nebraska but popular opinion is they aren't the best team in the conference. Plus, the SEC rates well but doesn't have a team at the top of the sport. Will that change?

(1:00) Duke smokes Louisville and is control of the ACC

(11:16) Arizona stays perfect against BYU. Are you convinced they are the best team in the sport?

(24:22) Nebraska is undefeated! Best story in the sport. But the Big Ten is not that simple

(34:59) SEC ranks as a top conference, but has zero great teams

(39:58) Must watch games the next few days
