Oh, and Andy and Ari wager a 24-hour fast for charity on the outcome of this Pac-12 skirmish. Will USC surprise Notre Dame?

Week 7 picks: Is Orgeron out with a loss? Caleb Williams or Spencer Rattler & bet payoff

Is Oregon a bounce-back candidate after dropping an OT nail-biter to Stanford? Has Andy really changed his mind about Scott Frost? Ari's body is ready for Texas-Oklahoma St. If LSU succumbs to Flordia, will it be the end of the Coach O era in Louisiana? Can Levis and the Wildcats pressure unflappable Georgia? Is Ole Miss on upset watch? Plus, is it Caleb Williams' time at Oklahoma?Follow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Ari on Twitter: @AriWassermanSave 50% on a subscription to The Athletic by visiting: theathletic.com/andystaples Hosted on Acast.
