Summary

College Football week 8 predictions are here and it begins with Ole Miss vs UGA and USC vs Notre Dame. Will we see Lane Kiffin and the Rebels go into Athens and beat Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs? What can Lincoln Riley and the Trojans find in South Bend against Marcus Freeman and the Irish? Tennessee vs Alabama and LSU vs Vanderbilt are other big games in the SEC as Kalen DeBoer, Josh Heupel, Clark Lea, and Brian Kelly have big opportunities. Tuesday also marks the midpoint of the season which means it’s time for Josh to update his College Football Playoff predictions. The week 8 edition of the JP Poll drops tonight as we get updated power ratings. Where are teams like Ohio State, Michigan, and Miami? Do we still see Texas in the top 10? Hugh Freeze is facing considerable heat at Auburn as speculation about the hot seat has ramped up. All that plus early best bets on the Ramen Noodle Express.

1:41.2

be forewarned, I'm not letting go with some of these teams that are all but left for debt. I'm not letting go of some of them. So I've got that. I've got a brand new JP poll. We got a lot to talk about with Penn State. Some people have called my takes into question, Jesse. And Jesse has done very little to stand up for me in the Penn State world. So I've got to stand up for myself here.
