Summary
Oklahoma tried to hide a receiver. The refs said it was fine. So what exactly happened in Norman? The guys debate whether smart coaching or bad officiating decided Auburn-Oklahoma.
Plus, Vegas doesn't trust the voters: LSU's ranked 4th, but getting points at Ole Miss. The crew picks the big games and Ralph takes four straight road teams because he's learned nothing. Bruce buys Indiana stock, Stew questions Miami's title chances, and everyone wonders if James Franklin can finally beat a good team in the White Out.
