Until Saturday: A show about college football Buckeyes blow by Nittany Lions, Clemson escapes Boston College & Spartans stun Wolverines with Bill Landis & Colton Pouncy
In a weekend full of nail-biters, Andy and The Athletic's Ohio State scribe, Bill Landis, start today's show with Ohio State's commanding win over Penn State (1:00). Can anyone compete with OSU in the Big Ten? Was this performance expected out of the Nittany Lions? The duo take an early glance at the CFB Playoff picture and discuss who they believe are true contenders (5:00). The Trevor-Lawrence-less Clemson Tigers were tested in a conference bout against Boston College, though DJ Uiagalelei rallied his club and illustrated his remarkable ability (10:30). Andy and Bill admire some rarely-seen undefeated Big Ten teams (17:15) before chatting about where the winless Nittany Lions go from here (18:45). Will Wisconsin play Purdue next week (22:15)? How would another lost game affect, not only the Badgers, but the conference as a whole? Who's ready for some Pac-12 football (26:16)! Andy then welcomes in The Athletic's Michigan State penman, Colton Pouncy, to react to the Spartan's shocking win over Michigan (29:00). Was this a fluke win by Michigan State? How does this victory shape Mel Tucker's image following last week's loss? Is "Slick Rick" the conference's best kept secret? Is Michigan as good as we initially thought? What does the rest of the season hold for these two programs?
