It’s Week 8 of the college football season, and yes, Ellie, “yay, feetball” indeed.
It’s here. The weekend that Carla and Crappy have been anticipating since … oh, the end of last season.
Penn State. Ohio State. Drew Allar. Kyle McCord. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. And … Daequan Hardy? (Who?)
But before we get completely lost in that game, there are other matters at hand. Carla gleefully explains the Stanford Postulate (it lives!) and recaps an Oregon/Washington game that absolutely lived up to the hype. Crappy, meanwhile, offers his thoughts on USC/Notre Dame and takes some time to recap his (chilly and soggy) trip to Ithaca to watch Cornell (and, more importantly, starting RB Drew Powell) last weekend. The Big Red Bears host Brown this Saturday (Noon ET, ESPN+).
Then, AJ joins us with an absolutely loaded #GroupOfFiveAfterDark report that begins on Thursday and continues nearly non-stop through late Saturday night, including an after-dark FCS game that’s absolutely worth caffeinating for. (Shout out, Big Sky!)
And then … to the games at hand. But not that one. We’ll save that one for last.
No. 17 Tennessee at No. 11 Alabama (3:30 ET, CBS): Bama is absolutely mortable this year … but the Vols haven’t been great on the road.
No. 16 Duke at No. 4 Florida State (7:30 ET, ABC): If this game was in Durham, we might have different opinions. Also, the line is real silly here.
No. 14 Utah at No. 18 USC (8 ET, FOX): They have a fantastic defense, but without Cam Rising, the Utes just aren’t quite the same team. USC might be done nationally, but not this week.
Finally …
No. 7 Penn State at No. 3 Ohio State (The Biggest of Nude Saturdays, FOX): It goes without saying that Carla and Crappy have lots of thoughts about this one. Carla’s pleased with her Nits’ confidence entering the Shoe, while Crappy boasts about his Bucks’ play last weekend against Purdue. The Fun Index on this game is silly low … but it might be on point. All we know for sure? One of us is going to be quite unhappy next week.
To wrap things up, Carla offers a reason to be interested in No. 2 Michigan at Michigan State (7:30 ET, ABC). Crappy’s too amped to have a final thought. Yep, really. That’s how big this game is.
So, here we go. Enjoy the “feetball” this weekend … and come back next week to see whether or not we’re speaking to each other. (Ha!) Cheers, yinz!
