The Triple Option

Show Notes

College football chaos: Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame and Indiana all fall as Ohio State football faces life without Julian Sayin and Alabama vs Tennessee ends with Josh Heupel lighting the cigar in Knoxville.

Will the real No.1 team in college football please stand up? Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II and Rob Stone break down a wild Week 7 that shook the Top 10, Ohio State's QB1 injury scare, Tennessee's statement win over Alabama, and what it all means for the CFP race.

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel joins the show live from Knoxville after beating the Tide for the third time, the guys debate a potential 24-team playoff expansion, ask if college football has a refereeing problem, plus Mark picks his Dawg of the Week (and it's a Bear after BYU's upset of Notre Dame), and a look ahead to Houston at Utah, Ole Miss at Texas, and USC at Wisconsin.
