Andy, Ari and Scott Dochterman celebrate getting past the halfway point of the season without really thinking much about the College Football Playoff because the season has been so darn interesting. Perhaps things narrow a bit after games like Syracuse-Clemson and UCLA-Oregon this weekend, but it feels like we have a few more weeks of just enjoying a lot of teams still being in the hunt for conference titles at this point. Later, we make Scott talk about Iowa's offense even though he really doesn't want to. Why? Because we may never see anything quite like this again. Plus, Ari weaves an elite segue into why programs shouldn't sign coaches to 10-year deals.

Nicole Auerbach and Chris Vannini discuss the latest news and notes around the sport of college football with their friend Grace Raynor from The Athletic.
Power Five:
1. Should Tennessee be number 1?
2. Is the Vols fundraising effort after the win fair or foul?
3. Hendon Hooker leads The Athletic's Heisman straw poll
4. Brett Yormark says Texas & OU will be in the Big12 through 2025.
5. The last Group of 5. undefeated falls
Happy Hour:
Is Clemson flying under the radar as a National Championship contender? Grace Raynor shares her thoughts on Dabo Swinney, the QB situation and Saturday's big game vs. undefeated(!) Syracuse. Cheers to this season being awesome.
On the Rocks:
Alabama all of sudden doesn't look like a Nick Saban coached team. Poor defense. Lack of discipline. What gives? Penn State loses another game vs. a top 10 team.
Last Call:
Cheers to Utah for its last second win and emotional tribute to Aaron Lowe and Ty Jordan. Jeers to the NFL for announcing a Black Friday game starting in 2023.

David Ubben and Brody Miller have reaction to the Saturday spectacle in Knoxville. The Vols upset over Bama will likely be the best game of the year. It's the best game/atmosphere David has ever seen in person. It's college football at its absolute best & reminds the guys why they love the sport. Time to talk about Tennessee and the playoff. Percent chance they get there?
Ole Miss is 7-0. Are they for real or do they come down to earth? Plus, the SEC West race. Who had Ole Miss as the last undefeated team?
LSU rally's after rough start at Florida. Will the Tigers play spoiler in the SEC West?
South Carolina vs. Texas A&M is the most fascinating game of week 8. If SC wins, the bottom truly falls out under Jimbo Fisher and suddenly SC is 5-2.
Picks of the week:
David: Mississippi State +21.5
Brody: South Carolina +3.5

Week 7 was absolutely dynamite! Andy and Ari breakdown a memorable Saturday, starting with Tennessee-Alabama. Are the Vols a CFP title contender?

TCU bent, but didn't break, against Oklahoma State; Andy saves $1K in USC's loss; Kentucky, Clemson, and Ole Miss push through, and Colorado won!

Andy, Ari and Nicole pick the week's best games against the spread! Can Sean Clifford and Penn State cover against Michigan in, arguably, both team's toughest tests in the season to this point? With Mohamed Ibrahim's status for Saturday up in the air, is the spread for Minnesota and Tanner Morgan too much vs. Illinois? Will history repeat itself in Auburn-Ole Miss, a matchup that's seen the Tigers win 8 of the last 9? Or is this it for Bryan Harsin? Jason Bean gets his shot to lead Kansas with Jalon Daniels injured. Are 9 points way too much for Brent Venables and OU? Can Hendon Hooker and co. upset Alabama? How about if Bryce Young plays? Plus, Will Rogers vs. Will Levis; Brian Kelly heads to Florida, are we riding with USC or Utah, and more!
