Summary
Week eight is here and Andy and Ari do what they do best, make ill-advised bets! Is Pittsburgh legit? Andy better hope so because a mustard-infused shot of liquor awaits him if the Panthers fall prey to Clemson. The duo covers a couple of odd lines in today's pod; one being Iowa St.-Oklahoma St. Can Oregon win out? The road to a potential playoff berth for the Ducks continues with UCLA. Oh, and Andy and Ari wager a 24-hour fast for charity on the outcome of this Pac-12 skirmish. Will USC surprise Notre Dame? Plus, will Tennessee cover in Tuscaloosa; does Ohio State own the nation's best offense, and fishy NC St. vs. Miami line.

| 0:55.9 | this trap. This is for me, what Texas is for you. Not anymore. I'm willing to say. Oh, |
| 1:03.6 | yeah, that's right. You can't hear my lessons. You give it up. Well, if we've learned any lesson on |
