Summary
The Athletic's Matt Fortuna and Chris Vannini join Andy to react to Week 3! The ACC, other than Clemson, is a complete dumpster fire. Will it be a cakewalk to the playoff for the Tigers? Are they out with a loss? USC loses to BYU in overtime and Clay Helton is on the hot seat. Urban Meyer should be choice A, B, C and D if and when Helton is fired. Kentucky & Michigan State both miss last minute FG's to lose at home. Pat Narduzzi makes a questionable decision vs. Penn State. UCF's pipeline of QBs from Hawaii continues to produce.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Andy Staples show. |
| 0:24.4 | Another crazy week of college football. |
| 0:27.5 | No massive upset, no kind of defining game. |
| 0:33.1 | I got to bring in one of the OG national writers for the athletic, Matt Fortuna, to help me figure |
| 0:38.0 | this out. Matt, you're the guy who writes the takeaways. What are we to take away from this |
| 0:43.6 | Saturday? Well, just this Saturday, I had the luxury of getting to watch all this unfold from the |
| 0:48.3 | comforts of my couch while our Max Olsing was weathering literal storms and figurative storms in Ames, Iowa. H storms. Hill storms, too. I mean, that did not look pleasant, nor did really the quality of play on the field for the most part there. But my takeaway was the ACC is in trouble. I mean, Clemson probably can't lose a game. And now I don't think they'll lose a game. I don't think they'll be favored by probably less than 10 or 15 points in any remaining game. But holy crap, I mean, this was just a bad weekend for a league that has had a lot of bad weekends over the last season a half. I mean, it was bad starting Friday night and Chestnut Hill and finishing Saturday night with, you know, I wouldn't say Florida State losing |
| 1:28.2 | to Virginia is the worst thing in the world because Virginia was the preseason coastal favorite. |
| 1:31.7 | But what's it say about Florida State that Virginia wins that game by seven points? |
| 1:36.3 | And my reaction is Virginia did even cover against Florida State. |
| 1:39.3 | I mean, it's just kind of really, really bad. |
| 1:41.2 | That says it all, although, I mean, the way that game ended now, |
| 1:44.8 | bad week for the conference office and the refs, too, because the ACC game that wasn't an |
| 1:50.0 | ACC game on Friday night, Wake Forest, North Carolina ends with an officiating mistake, |
| 1:54.9 | where they should have had one more second on the clock. Florida State, Virginia, |
| 1:59.8 | ends with an officiating mistake where they should have stopped the |
| 2:03.0 | clock to move the change with seven seconds and didn't stop it until four seconds. |
| 2:06.8 | And then Florida State doesn't clock the ball. |
| 2:10.8 | Now, Willie Taggart was asked about that. |
| 2:13.1 | They ended up running a wildcat play with Cam Acres. |
| 2:16.6 | He said he didn't know if the extra three seconds would have changed the decision. |
| 2:20.8 | Translation. |
