Summary
Can you believe we're 10 weeks into the college football season? Crazy. Speaking of crazy, Andy and Ari cover everything you need to know about this upcoming crazy weekend of college football games, including: Could UNC score the total, itself, versus Wake Forest, or will the Demon Deacons remain perfect? Is Michigan State ensnared in the perfect Big Ten slip-up game? Andy and Ari debate whether it's prudent to keep John Harbaugh and, subsequently, Michigan's status quo, or try to move on from him this offseason. Should they have done so a year or two ago? Saturday's Scott Frost's last chance...right? Jimmy Lake made some indiscreet and wacky comments about Oregon earlier in the week. The guys, with their 'podcasting prowess', dive into Lake's words. Plus, a big slate of SEC games featuring Auburn and Texas A&M, a button-pushing Florida-South Carolina bout, and can Josh Heupel continue to surprise fans and defy doubters?
