Episode Details

The College Football Show is back for Week 8, and host Shane Barrett runs through a shaken-up AP Top 25, breaks down the best game on the board, and lays out the bets he is backing.

Shane opens with the poll: the risers, the fallers, the teams knocking on the door from just outside the rankings, and the ranked squads he has on upset alert, with plenty to sort through after a weekend of chaos at the top. Then it is on to his Game of the Week, Houston at Utah, a top-15 Big 12 showdown under the lights at Rice-Eccles with College GameDay in town. Dual-threat quarterback Devon Dampier and safety Jackson Bennee lead the undefeated Utes against Houston quarterback Conner Weigman and ballhawking defensive back Javion White in a matchup with real College Football Playoff stakes for both. Utah is favored, but Shane sees the game differently and breaks down exactly where the value sits.

He closes with his offensive, defensive, and special teams players of the week from a wild Week 7. There is a side he loves in the marquee game and plenty more before kickoff, so hit play to get it all first.

Topics covered in this episode: the AP Top 25 review, Houston at Utah, Devon Dampier vs Conner Weigman, the Week 8 upset watch, the Week 7 players of the week, and Shane’s best bets.
