Welcome into the program. This is Breaking the Huttle. I'm Joel Clevver. The show is brought to you by Dr. Pepper. It is the official drink of fans though. We are ready to celebrate college football with you and we're going to get a lot of reaction today. Urban Myers is going to be on the show. I'm going to break down and Michigan their performance against Minnesota.

0:29.0

Last week, we're going to get to your social media reaction. That's coming up later, but first it's my top 10 here are the top 10 teams in college football. Let's get right to it at number 10. I've got Cincinnati, the Bearcats and their Luke fickle has done a heck of a job. He's 26 and five in the last two and a half years. And I got to tell you they are playing really good football back to back 11 win seasons. And this is a team that's got Memphis this week. Remember, they lost twice to Memphis late last year trying to avenge those losses.

0:59.0

At number nine, I'm going with BYU, the Cougars. They've got four games left, folks. Oh, that's it. Only four games left. If they go into feed it, I think they should go to the New Year six. That's my personal opinion. Zach Wilson continues to impress 78% 321 yards per game 16 touchdowns and only one interception. Good on you. Zach Wilson. Michigan is at number eight for me. That's how much they impress me. And I will get into all of those reasons later in the show. Big break down on film. Stay tuned for what Michigan did well.

1:28.0

And that win against Minnesota at number seven. I've got Texas A&M folks Texas A&M has some real opportunity to put pressure on Alabama. I know that they didn't beat Alabama, but I think they're going to force Alabama to win the rest of their games in order to win that division or at least not to slip up too bad.

1:47.0

Let's see what Jalen Wattles injury does to Alabama. But here's why Jimbo Fisher is 20 and 10 in his tenure as the Aggie head coach. But if you look closer, he's 18 and two against teams that are not in the top 10 in the country.

2:02.0

18 and two in his tenure with the Aggies. That's pretty good. And guess what? There's not a ranked team left on their schedule. So watch out for the Aggies going down the stretch.

2:11.0

I've got Oklahoma State Oklahoma say that's a big win against Iowa State a week ago. I love what they were able to do. Chuba Hubbard got loose a little bit. Their defense is playing well given up only 12 points per game. Now they will be tested. They have not faced a very good offense as of yet. They face Texas this week. Texas is averaging 45 points per game.

2:31.0

I've got Georgia at number five. Obviously they're lost Alabama knocked them down a little bit. They got to solve that quarterback issue with Stetson Bennett. But this is a really talented team. And now we get down to business here in the next couple of weeks. They've got Kentucky and Florida.

2:44.0

I think they're their biggest competition in the east. Notre Dame for me is the fourth ranked team in the country after that 45 to three beat down. And I know I put them on upset alert. If you will, we'll get to that a little bit later in the program. My fault guys. My fault.

2:59.0

Pit clearly wasn't ready. I've got Bama at number three. A lot of Bama people are apoplectic that I've got Bama at number three. But for the sole reason that Jalen Waddle who's a big part of your offense is out.

3:10.0

I'm a little worried for Alabama, although I don't know how worried. I don't know if anyone's going to be able to stop them. Just really quickly slayed Bolden will be the guy stepping in for Jalen Waddle. And this is a guy that was a quarterback in high school.

3:22.0

He was the Gatorade player of the year in the state of Louisiana. And he went for six catches for 94 yards last week, stepping in for Waddle.

3:30.0

Being a former quarterback, look for them to use him in creative ways, Wildcat, kind of Edelman like with the New England Patriots.

3:37.0

And two and one is Ohio State and Clemson. Not a lot of people will be surprised with that. Clemson, listen, are you not entertained? Davos, like, what do you want from me? Right?

3:46.0

Like, why we're having a press conference like we lost? What are you? Are you not entertained in Ohio State? There's only one concern for me for Ohio State. And that's the fact that their one game was not anywhere close to what it was a year ago.

3:58.0

We're trying to replace JK Dobbins. That's going to be very tough. Trace Sermon, the transfer from Oklahoma and Master Teague, who was the backup to Dobbins a year ago.

4:06.0

They only averaged a little over four yards per carry against Nebraska. Dobbins on the year averaged 6.6 yards per carry.

4:13.0

So there's a delta there that they're going to have to make up and they certainly are going to want to run the football a little bit more effectively.

4:19.0

So there you have it. There's my top 10 teams in the country as I see it here going into Halloween.

4:25.0

Pleased to be joined now by our colleague here. Big noon kickoff's own coach Urban Meyer coach. What's going on, man?

4:32.0

Great to see you, Joel. Yeah, listen, I got to tell you it was so good to be back in the big 10 watching the big 10 games, whether it was on TV or we were there live in the shoe.

4:43.0

And that's where I want to start because clearly Ohio State's the favorite in the big 10 and rightly so. They're so talented from what you saw on Saturday from their performance against Nebraska.
