    Week 2 Reaction: Are Notre Dame, Michigan and Iowa out of the playoff? + Nebraska & Texas shine
    Sep 9 2024
    This Week 2 is going down in the history books. David Ubben, Chris Vannini and Damien Harris unpack a loaded Saturday, starting with #5 Notre Dame's shocking loss to Northern Illinois (4:00). Are the Irish out of the playoffs?! Texas DOMINATED Michigan in the Big House (15:00). Is Sherrone Moore at fault for the Wolverines' roster deficiencies? Arkansas blew it in Stillwater (22:15). Iowa's offense STILL looks pedestrian as the Cyclones nab the CyHawk Trophy (28:45). Ashton Jeanty is the Heisman frontrunner despite losing to Oregon (who has some issues - 33:15). Tennessee's defense is the real deal (39:30), Clemson had some pent up rage (44:00), and KU is in trouble (49:00). We recap our weekend picks (49:30) before answering your voicemails! Levi asks if that was the last game Auburn fans will see Peyton Thorne (53:00), John wants us to take accountability for doubting South Carolina (57:15), and Sam asks if Nebraska could be undefeated going into the Ohio State game (1:02:30). Shedeur criticized his O-Line in front of the media, but Damien thinks he showed a lack of leadership despite the hard truth (1:08:30). We look at the projected playoff bracket using Chris' rankings (1:14:00) before awarding our Heismans and Criesmans (1:19:00).

    Ranking Week 2 mood-swing games + Texas-Michigan preview with Cedric Golden
    Sep 4 2024
    Week 2 could make THESE college football fanbases moody. David Ubben and Sam Khan Jr. pinpoint the matchups that may make fanbases elated or irate. Colorado-Nebraska (2:00), Oklahoma State-Arkansas (13:00), UTSA-Texas State (25:00) and more clashes have some of the largest varience in fan moral. Florida State is an absolute mess (27:30). Later, Cedric Golden, columnist for the Austin American-Statesman, helps preview Texas' bout in the Big House (35:00). How will the Longhorns fare in the trenches against Michigan? How has Quinn Ewers grown this offseason, what's RB Jaydon Blue's skillset, and can UT's new DT tandem limit the Wolverines' ground attack? To wrap things up, it's another installment of Message Board Maniacs...the state of Florida is DOWN BAD, but there is ONE person who can save the program. And his name rhymes with Himbo Risher (57:00).
