Until Saturday: A show about college football

Andy and Ari react to week 11 of the college football season. In vintage Texas fashion, the Longhorns lose to Kansas 57-56 in Austin. Ari admits he was wrong about Texas! Are there regrets about firing Tom Herman? Andy is speechless about Florida’s performance against Samford. This Gators win feels very much like a loss. Where does Florida even go from here? Michigan holds on to beat Penn State; would Nittany Lions fan be upset if James Franklin left Happy Valley for another job? What is Penn State’s ceiling as a program? Ohio State put the hammer down on Purdue; the Buckeyes look to be clicking at the highest level. And finally, Oklahoma is handed their first loss of the season to Baylor.

How are we 11 weeks in already? Where has the time gone, and have the FBS commissioners gone and found a compromise for all schools on the fence about a 12-team playoff?

Will Baylor end Caleb Williams and co.'s undefeated run? Who has the advantage in Michigan-Penn State? In another Big Ten showcase...which I didn't think I'd be typing...will Purdue add to their resume of upsets by beating Ohio State? Will Tennessee prove more competitive versus Georgia than originally thought? Is Texas A&M the nation's hottest program at the moment?Check on The Andy Staples Show on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3F7cnCdFollow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Ari on Twitter: @AriWassermanSave 33% on a subscription to The Athletic by visiting: theathletic.com/andystaples Hosted on Acast.
