Andy and Ari discuss Clemson's remaining schedule and whether anyone can stop the Tigers from going 13-0. If they do, they'll make the playoff. But are they good enough to beat any of the other teams that might make the CFP? Later, Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer joins the show to discuss his hardball questions to Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz about the performance of offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz. Doug also chimes in on Ferentz's comment Tuesday that he's glad he doesn't have Doug's job. Lastly, where does Alabama fit in the CFP ranking pecking order? Could the Crimson Tide pull rank on undefeated teams because of the program's track record?

Andy, Ari and Scott Dochterman dig a little deeper into a topic that has been bugging Andy and Ari for a while: double-digit year, mostly or fully guaranteed coach contracts. Texas A&M is experiencing buyer's remorse with Jimbo Fisher now, but history tells us Michigan State, Penn State, LSU, USC, Miami or a combination of all of those will experience the same pain. So what's an AD to do? The guys look at the current job openings (and some that might come open) and try to devise a strategy that could land a quality coach without putting the school on the hook for a decade.

The Athletic's David Ubben and Brody Miller recap week 8 in the SEC.
Brian Kelly is exceeding expectations in year 1 at LSU (6-2).
Jimbo Fisher is floundering in year 5 at Texas A&M (3-4).
Shane Beamer has South Carolina on a 4-game win streak.
The week 9 slate is headlined by the Cocktail Party (UF vs. UGA) and the Beer Barrel (UK vs. UT).

South Carolina handed Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies yet another loss. Is it time Texas A&M seriously considered parting ways with Jimbo, or is his buyout damming that choice? Clemson dodged Syracuse's upset bid, but is there now growing apprehension about DJ Uiagalelei's ability to help this team win? TCU, Oklahoma State, and LSU all strung together comeback wins, all of which were impressive. On the topic of LSU, Jayden Daniels is thriving at his new school, as is Bo Nix as Oregon danced circles around UCLA. Plus, Penn State and Alabama earn much-need get-right wins.

Andy, Ari and Nicole pick the week eight games against the spread. Also, Nicole finally pays off the cottage cheese bet she made on Washington-UCLA. There are a lot of interesting games this week, including a What-Does-Vegas-Know-That-We-Don't line in Texas-Oklahoma State and a very big spread in UNLV-Notre Dame. Plus, can Bryce Young and Alabama avenge last week's loss to Tennessee in a matchup against Mississippi State? Is Clemson the most underrated top-5 team in the country, and is Syracuse their biggest roadblock to the CFP? Is College Station nearing DEFCON 5? Before the gang picks Saturday's games, Nicole reports on takeaways from the CFP management committee's meeting about an accelerated 12-team postseason.
