Summary
Payoff pod! Ari tosses a shot of Woodford Reserve mixed with store-brand mustard down his hatch, and all Andy does is watch gleefully because, you know, #PittsTooLegitToQuit. The guys canvas the week nine slate including Oregon-Colorado. Will the Ducks continue their waddle to a 12-1 record? If so, which 12-1 squad do the guys believe would make the playoff, Oregon or Ohio State? Caleb Williams will be the first to test out Texas Tech's new regime. Will he and the Sooners bounce back after an uninspiring win? Ari's still off the Texas wagon, but are they so bad that they're a three-point underdog to Baylor? Will Pitt continue to be legit versus Miami? Plus, Notre Dame's uphill climb to 11-1; will Flordia cover against Georgia; will Ole Miss-Auburn be a shootout, and Michigan-Michigan State is like the Spiderman pointing meme.
