Carla and Crappy Show: The Identity Crisis Edition

2018-08-29

We're back for the 2018 college football season ... and the seventh year of the Carla and Crappy Show. We start the show with a look at our waaaaay-to-early picks for the 2018 CFB final four. A couple of those are easy, and the others ... well, not so much. Does the cloud over Urban hold back the Buckeyes? Will the B1G East beat itself to death? Can the Pac 12 return after a year out of the mix? And oh yes, there are games: No. 6 Washington vs. No. 9 Auburn in Atlanta (3:30, ABC):...

We're back for the 2018 college football season ... and the seventh year of the Carla and Crappy Show.

We start the show with a look at our waaaaay-to-early picks for the 2018 CFB final four. A couple of those are easy, and the others ... well, not so much. Does the cloud over Urban hold back the Buckeyes? Will the B1G East beat itself to death? Can the Pac 12 return after a year out of the mix?

And oh yes, there are games:

No. 6 Washington vs. No. 9 Auburn in Atlanta (3:30, ABC): Washington has the look of a title contender, but Auburn was good enough to thump Alabama a year ago. Which team wants this one more?

No. 14 Michigan at 12 Notre Dame (7:30, NBC): Two stout defenses. Two offenses that might only muster field goals. Two head coaches who don't seem to have a coherent thought about what they want their offenses to be. First team to double digits wins.

No. 8 Miami vs. No. 25 LSU in Jerryland (7:30 Sunday, ABC): Miami rolled through its bowl game against ND and is in the AP preseason Top 10 for the first time since 2004. LSU seems to be content to have a quarterback who can throw the football.

All this and a shoutout to the Greater Nashville Knockdown (#goblueraiders) -- welcome back to college football, boys and girls.
