Season 6
Episode 29
Published 3 days, 10 hours ago
Description
Week 8 was more eventful than it had any right to be. Mike Wade, Mark Franzen and Darren Steadman break down what we actually learned. Texas beat No. 7 Ole Miss 34–27 but lost three of its best NFL prospects to injury. Utah had to rally past Houston 21–13. And BYU fell right into the big-win letdown spot we’ve been warning about all season.
In this episode:
- The parlay debrief: 5 of 8, with two legs lost by the hook
- Four quarters of takeaways: Michigan’s QB crisis, why the national champ won’t come out of the Big Ten, a playoff race with 25+ teams still alive, missing the Pac-12, the coaching hot seat, Bear Bachmeier’s Heisman hit, BYU still the class of the Big 12, and LSU as the team nobody wants to play
- Darren’s homework assignment: is 2026 shaping up like 2007?
- Homer check: Duke 19, Virginia 16 · Virginia Tech 20, Clemson 16 · LSU 38, Auburn 17 · South Carolina 27, Tennessee 24 · Minnesota 13, Iowa 10
- Plus the post-game hang
