Summary
We're still trying to process what just happened in Week 8 of college football. Over half the AP Top 25 was in serious peril, with nine ranked teams falling and four others barely escaping disaster. This wasn't just chaos – it was relentless, unforgiving madness from Tuesday through Saturday night.
We dive deep into the most significant results of the weekend, starting with Louisville's stunning upset of Miami on Friday night. Then there's Arizona State's win over Texas Tech, Vandy's home triumph over LSU, and a pair of impressive victories by Alabama and Georgia. Plus, Notre Dame ran over USC, Georgia Tech logged a workmanlike win over Duke and BYU won its third straight Holy War over Utah. We also dive into a handful of other honorable mentions across every conference and time slot.
And last but not least, we play your voice messages, answer the question that everyone is asking and pay sweet homage to the top performers of Week 8 with our Dude Alerts.
