Summary

Greg McElroy is here to get you ready for week 9. With a daunting schedule ahead, is this a must win for Oklahoma at home against Ole Miss, should Indiana be worried about a resurgent UCLA team, does Alabama have anything to worry about going against a struggling South Carolina team and can Texas A&M get their first win in Baton Rouge since 1994? Plus, BYU is a ranked underdog at Iowa State, Missouri and Vanderbilt are both in the thick of the CFP race and Michigan is looking for their longest win streak over Michigan State (3 games) in almost 20 years! Weekends like this ALWAYS have upsets we don’t see coming. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
