Hour 2: Candy Corn

real spooky right now around the world of college football.

Another weekend? Let me tell you what.

There's no greater feeling right now in college football than being on bye.

Because you watch the rest of the sport descend into madness.

And if you were a Notre Dame fan, an Ohio State fan, a Georgia fan, you got to just kick your feet up and know it's not going to be us this week.

Because once again, down goes Frazier.

BYU a week after ascending to number two and beating Notre Dame.

They go down and lose on the road to UCF.

Cincinnati upends previously unbeaten Texas Tech on the road as well.

So a gnarly weekend across the sport.

Tennessee loses to South Carolina.

It was messy.

Yeah, you had two BYU, seven Ole Miss, eight Texas Tech, 11 Tennessee, 15 Iowa, and 16 USC.

All losing.

And again, right before the first college football playoff poll comes out, which again, that comes out November 3rd, which will be dismantled four days later because of the schedule of the slate of games on November 7th.

So, I mean, it's not going to settle down for a while.

It's not, but that's good context for what we're staring at right now.

Because you're right, next Tuesday, the first batch of rankings comes out.

And it's almost immediately going to be supplanted, I grant you.

But with what we've seen already, the craziness in college football, it is shaping up after last year's 12-team playoff foray for the first time that wound up with the Notre Dame and Miami debate at the end of the season.

I think we're trending towards an even messier decision being made.

And we got a window into that this week with the AP poll.

Our friend Nicole Arbach over at NBC Sports, who does a phenomenal job as a college football insider and analyst there, pointed out this week in the AP poll, BYU loses and drops back below the Notre Dame team that they beat two weeks ago.

Notre Dame checking in, rounding out the top five, Miami at number one, Ohio State back at number two, and then Georgia, Indiana, Notre Dame, Utah sitting there at 7-0, getting a late-night win at home against Houston, followed by unbeaten UCLA and then BYU and Kentucky sitting there at seven and one up over the Alabama team that beat them by double digits not all that long ago sitting there at the 10 spot so do you have a problem with those inconsistencies because Nicole pointed those out we are still close enough to the games that happen themselves on the field should that still be a big factor and will the committee consider that

well I mean Alabama and Kentucky I have less of an issue with because Alabama has two losses And Kentucky just has the one to Alabama.
