Until Saturday: A show about college football

Ari returns from Paqui Hell to join Andy in a breakdown of college football's third week of action. Should Alabama remain the country's top team after narrowly dodging Florida? If not, who should preside over the top-25? Nebraska nearly won a game they tried to avoid? Is Ohio State really a contender? Will a G5 team make this year's playoff? Penn State smells blood in the Big Ten's waters. Plus, Andy's theory on college football's competitive equilibrium in 2021.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.
