| 0:00.0 | On today's college football inquire, it's the Big Ten in the SEC versus all of Congress, it seems like. Plus, Notre Dame AD Pete Vivacqua doesn't want a Super League, but he did tell us what it would look like. The schedule he named sounds kind of amazing. Also, Texas versus Texas Tech, Steve Sarkeesian versus Joey McGuire, who will win the War of Words because they're probably not going to play a game. |
| 0:21.3 | But Texas Tech might schedule a pretty good game later anyway. |
| 0:24.4 | We'll talk about it all on today's College Football Enquirer. |
| 0:31.1 | This is the College Football Enquirer with Ross Dellinger and Stephen Godfrey. |
