Crappy may be ready to talk baseball, since his Buckeyes had a less-than-successful trip to Eugene last weekend, but Carla and AJ — with the help of an Aaron Judge homer — brought Crappy down to earth in time to go through another week of college football, when several teams seem destined to FAFO (if you don’t get the reference, our friends at Urban Dictionary can help you, uh, find out).

Crappy may be ready to talk baseball, since his Buckeyes had a less-than-successful trip to Eugene last weekend, but Carla and AJ — with the help of an Aaron Judge homer — brought Crappy down to earth in time to go through another week of college football, when several teams seem destined to FAFO (if you don’t get the reference, our friends at Urban Dictionary can help you, uh, find out).
We always look back before we look forward, and Week Seven was a spectacular one, especially if you enjoy tight finishes — as seen by K State at Colorado, Penn State at USC, Bama at South Carolina, Ball State at Kent or the aforementioned Ohio State visit to Oregon, a painful thing for Crappy. But the best news from last weekend? Vandy getting yet another SEC win at Kentucky. Bowl eligibility for the ‘Dores is within reach.
And for Week Eight? AJ gives us his weekly accounting of how the Big 12 is going to eat itself and reasons why we should eschew the FBS ranked matchups Saturday evening for North Texas at Memphis (7:30 p.m., ESPNU) — and its 66.5-point AJ Fun Index — and the FCS Game of the Century: No. 1 South Dakota State at No. 2 North Dakota State (8 p.m., ESPN2). This is why you need multiple screens, boys and girls.
Editor’s note: The Carla and Crappy Show failed to notice this week’s New Mexico at Utah State game (4 p.m., truTV) and its AJ Fun Index of 77.5 points. The Carla and Crappy Show regrets the error.
And then — Week Eight’s Big Boy games, all on Saturday:
No. 6 Miami at Louisville (Noon, ABC) The Canes have done a lot of FAing this season. Is this the weekend they FO?
Nebraska at No. 16 Indiana (Big Nude, Fox) The Huskers are vastly improved this season, but are they ready for Curt Cignetti’s undefeated Hoosiers (and their newfound home-field advantage)?
East Carolina at No. 23 Army (Noon, ESPN2), Charlotte at No. 25 Navy (3:30 p.m. on CBSSN) We covered these games together, not as a slight of either program, but as a celebration that our service academies, together in the Top 25 for the first time since 1960, still have a place in the FBS world in 2024.
No. 7 Alabama at No. 11 Tennessee (3:30 p.m., ABC) The loser of this game will be facing a second conference loss — and a confirmed disaster of a season. Also: Hey, Kalen — maybe dress up a little?
No. 24 Michigan at No. 22 Illinois (3:30 p.m., CBS) The Team Up North is a three-point favorite in this game, and if you’ve watched any college football this year — and we’ve seen a bit — you know that this is a joke.
8 LSU at Arkansas (7 p.m., ESPN) Hoo Pig has been the SEC’s pain-in-the-ass team this year. Can they smoke the Tigahs at home?
5 Georgia at 1 Texas (7:30, ABC) As is the case with Alabama-Tennessee, one team will be walking off the field in Austin with a second SEC loss. And that’s not going to be the Longhorns.
But wait — there’s more! AJ advises us to keep an eye on Oregon’s visit to Purdue (8 p.m. Friday, Fox), where bizarre things happen after the sun goes down (just ask Crappy). With Penn State on a bye, Carla will be on upset watch with South Carolina at Oklahoma (12:45 p.m. Saturday, SEC Network) and No. 12 Notre Dame at Georgia Tech (3:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN). Crappy doesn’t have an Ohio State game to watch this weekend, but that’s OK — his attention will be on the 100th Battle of the Bricks, as his Bobcats visit hated rival Miami (3:30 p.m., ESPN+) and hope to hold their spot atop the MAC.
Enjoy this week’s games, boys and girls — it’s sure to be a fun weekend.
