Summary
College Football week 8 upset alerts are here and it begins with Oklahoma vs South Carolina. Can Brent Venables pull one out over Shane Beamer? What about Utah vs BYU and Texas Tech vs Arizona State? Josh also touches on Texas A&M vs Arkansas, Texas vs Kentucky, and Louisville vs Miami. The week 8 edition of the Commissioner’s Poll drops tonight as we get updated rankings. Where is Indiana? Is Miami still #1 over teams like Ohio State, UGA, and Alabama? 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. Cole Cubelic joins the show to discuss that and a big weekend ahead. All that plus early best bets on the Ramen Noodle Express.
