Summary

There could be some CFP clarity after this weekend OR things could get even more convoluted. With GameDay in town, Pittsburgh will try to end Notre Dame’s CFP dreams as the Irish stand under the college football microscope, Texas heads to Georgia looking to keep their CFP hopes alive (even with a loss they could still beat A&M and make things VERY interesting), while Alabama welcomes Oklahoma to town a year after the Sooners ended the Tides playoff dreams. BYU, Louisville and Virginia are looking to bounce back and stay alive in conference races, while Texas A&M and USC try to keep things rolling. McElroy breaks it all down for you in his week 12 previews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
