Summary
The coaching carousel is spinning a little faster after the news that Florida pulled the plug on the Billy Napier era. In this college football podcast episode, we take a look at some of the early candidates for the job and glance around college football for which openings might pop up next.
We also harness our inner Gen Z and debate which college football relationships we're hard- and soft-launching after eight weeks of the regular season. Plus, we reveal the latest Verballer Top 12 poll and react to the ordering in the new AP Top 25. Which current team in the top 12 will get bounced by season's end?
And finally, we take an advanced look at three of the biggest games in Week 9, as Ole Miss travels to Oklahoma, Iowa State is a home favorite against undefeated BYU and LSU hosts Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
