Summary
College Football upset alerts are everywhere as week 2 approaches. Tonight we take a look at games like Illinois vs Duke, James Madison vs Louisville, Ole Miss vs Kentucky, Oklahoma State vs Oregon, USF vs Florida, and Arizona State vs Mississippi State. Where do things stand with Kalen DeBoer and Alabama? Josh Pate and Cole Cubelic discuss whether the Tide can pull the nose up on the season. The month of September has several huge matchups on the horizon including Oregon vs Penn State, Alabama vs UGA, Texas Tech vs Utah, Texas A&M vs Notre Dame, and Florida facing both LSU and Miami. The Week 2 edition of the JP Poll caused so much chaos Josh has decided to release his personal rankings for the first time ever. Where are Ohio State and Texas? Could Miami be top 5? What about Tennessee?

| 0:19.5 | Week two, huh? |
| 0:27.9 | Sure is... Sure is quiet out there. It's a little bit too quiet. I would even go as far as to say |
| 0:36.8 | suspiciously quiet. It's one of those weeks people tell you you can afford to do yard work. You can afford to have a social life. |

| 1:29.3 | I have listened, as the future commissioner of this great sport of ours, I have listened to people |
| 1:33.7 | complain about the JP poll, and I know once upon a time I told you we weren't going to bend on this, |
