Summary

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve recap all of the action from Week 13 of the college football season. Starting with what happened on the Farm, the Big Man was THRILLED to see Frank Reich, Andrew Luck and the boys get a win. But the best game of the day was where GameDay was, as Oregon got past USC. Georgia Tech also got upset in the night slate, further complicating things for the ACC. Plus, thoughts on Notre Dame’s domination over Syracuse and who should be ahead: ND or Miami? Ohio State also dominated again, as the Buckeyes have simply steamrolled through B1G competition. Also, thoughts on Wisconsin, Washington State, Penn State, the G5, Vanderbilt, Utah, Oklahoma and more. Finally, when Christmas season truly starts and Steve’s goodbye message to Cal. | SVPod Approximate Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (0:38) Steve’s RAW emotion after Stanford beat Cal (4:53) Oregon gets past USC (21:21) Pitt upsets Georgia Tech (31:26) Notre Dame or Miami?
