Banner Society's Steven Godfrey joins Alex and Richard for a discussion about the Egg Bowl and its many political implications. The group discusses the Iron Bowl and can't land on whether Alabama will destroy Auburn or the Tigers will make it messy. (Could be both!) Then: detailed breakdowns of a week of media sniping between BYU/Washington and Clemson/FSU, some Q&A, and a tasting menu for the weekend. Happy Thanksgiving. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. This is a public episode.

A 30-minute-ish sprint through one of college football’s most exciting weekends of the year. Notre Dame’s win over Clemson was entirely legit. Florida put it on Georgia. The Big Ten is a mess, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Justin Fuente ruined Virginia Tech with horrible game management. BYU vs. Cincinnati is the game America needs right now. Believe in Arizona State even after they blew a game to USC. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
