Is College Football’s AP Poll BROKEN? CFB Week 3 Preview

The megaboard is HERE, and Andy & Ari take you through the best of this week's posts, but first, there's a discussion to be had regarding the AP Poll. On Tuesday afternoon, the talk on social media was swirling around the AP Poll after a voter placed Florida 2 spots higher after its loss to USF. How should the AP Poll be regarded? Is it necessary in this era of college football? Does it even matter? The guys dive deep into this conversation.

To kickoff the megaboard, we take a look at LettermenRow, where the Buckeye fans are keeping a close watch on Michigan QB Bryce Underwood after his first 2 starts for the Wolverines.

Later, the fellas head to Columbia, South Carolina to discuss the matchup between the Gamecocks and Commodores in Williams-Brice Stadium. Kicking off at 7:45 on the SEC Network, this game has the elements to be very competitive. With two dynamic quarterbacks and a sense of optimism for both programs, there's no telling what will happen under the lights on Saturday night.

Afterwards, the guys discuss USC before its trip to Indiana to take on the Boilermakers of Purdue. While this is the CBS game of the week, Lincoln Riley and the Trojans have looked really good the first 2 weeks of the season. Are the Trojans for real this season? Will they be able to take care of business against Purdue on Saturday?
