In this episode, we break down the big matchup between Ohio State and Penn State, wonder whether Oregon-Michigan can get cheesy, debate the possibility of South Carolina dumping Texas A&M, and bask in the glow of what should be a great game between Pitt and SMU matchup.

College Football Week 7 Reaction: Big Ten Bangers, SEC Nailbiters & the Big 12 + ACC Blender Oct 13, 2024

Show notes

College Football Week 7 was an absolute joy. In this college football podcast episode, we overreact with a list of opinions after watching a full day of games that raised more questions than answers. In the Big Ten, Oregon edged out Ohio State in the main event of the weekend, but Penn State's overtime win over USC wasn't far behind. In the SEC, a handful of nailbiters drove the discussion, with Ole Miss losing to LSU at night, Alabama and Tennessee barely surviving, and Georgia's defense taking off in the second half against Mississippi State. In the Big 12, the return of Cam Rising left a lot to be desired as Utah lost to Arizona State, but Iowa State and BYU continued asserting themselves as the conference's top dogs. And in the ACC, the so-called "middle class" of teams continued to grow, making for an increasingly interesting conversation down the stretch. We highlighted the best of Week 7 and also read your tweets, played your voice messages and handed out some hardware for the best performances of the week.
