Summary
Andy and Ari react to week 11 of the college football season. In vintage Texas fashion, the Longhorns lose to Kansas 57-56 in Austin. Ari admits he was wrong about Texas! Are there regrets about firing Tom Herman? Andy is speechless about Florida’s performance against Samford. This Gators win feels very much like a loss. Where does Florida even go from here? Michigan holds on to beat Penn State; would Nittany Lions fan be upset if James Franklin left Happy Valley for another job? What is Penn State’s ceiling as a program? Ohio State put the hammer down on Purdue; the Buckeyes look to be clicking at the highest level. And finally, Oklahoma is handed their first loss of the season to Baylor. Are the Sooners out of the CFP picture? Is the entire Big 12 conference out of it?
