Summary

Andy and Ari Wasserman cover the upcoming college football slate. Great, now that you know that, here's where it gets saucy...well...not really because Andy doesn't use sauce when he tears into over 100 juicy, savory, delicious Chick-fil-A nuggets in this week's payoff pod (:30). The guys set the framework for the challenge before jumping into lines for the Pac-12's opening weekend (9:45). Is USC the conference favorite? What can we expect from the Trojans against Arizona State? Will an Oregon team that's lost key contributors this off-season be able to handle Stanford (14:45)? The duo also discuss the position the conference is in follow the Cal-Washington cancellation (20:30). Ari is amped for Big Ten talk! Who ya got in Michigan-Indiana (26:00)? Will Milton and co. bounce back after last week's stunning loss to Michigan State? Can Indiana keep rolling? Should we expect Ohio State to breeze past Rutgers, or is this not the Scarlet Knights of the past (41:00)? Double-down on Clemson? Can DJ Uiagalelei power the Tigers past ranked Notre Dame (44:15)? Who will be the biggest shrimp at the world's largest cocktail party (49:30), and does Florida's lesser recruiting class, compared to Georgia, already put them at a disadvantage? Plus, Texas-West Virginia, Texas A&M-South Carolina, Tennessee-Arkansas and BYU-Boise State (1:00:30)!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Andy Staples show.
0:10.3	It is a Friday payoff edition.
0:12.7	Once again, I have made a bet, and I have lost that bet, and now I must pay up.
0:17.1	But this one, we had some interesting twists getting here. I chose Oklahoma State last week.
0:24.1	My co-host, Ari Wasserman, chose Texas. The Longhorns won, so I lost. And that means that I must pay up.
0:31.9	Now, this, we decided was going to be a kind of a choose-your-own adventure, and we were going to have the
0:36.7	listeners choose what I did.
0:38.1	And we did get some good suggestions.
0:39.7	We had one listener suggest that I eat a giant bag of marshmallows while we record the podcast.
0:45.5	We had one listener suggest that I do the entire podcast with my feet in a bucket of worms.
0:51.3	That's Take Casey, former Florida tight end and now an analyst for the
0:55.7	Florida Radio Network. And also, we had someone suggest that I take the Albert Hainsworth
1:01.9	conditioning test that Mike Shanahan gave him when he was trying to cut him, which I have no
1:05.4	idea if I could pass or not. But, Ari, you were the one who suggested what we ultimately
1:10.7	wound up deciding on because we had a conversation
1:13.9	on wednesday and you brought it up and i was like we got to try that you said you said you had a
1:21.3	friend who tried to eat a hundred chick-fil-a nuggets at once and failed and i said i think i can do that
1:27.0	and he you said i'm not so sure if you can.
1:29.2	So we now sit with a tray of 120 chick-fil-a nuggets and we're going to see if I can.
1:34.8	Yeah, the one thing I've learned about our bets is that you always not only complete the bet,
1:38.9	but then you show-boat at the end.
1:40.1	That's like your MO.
