Texas A&M is going to dump a good coach without a particularly good reason, Georgia-Georgia Tech is an underrated rivalry, Miami is Snoop Dogg, and Michigan is doing exactly what we thought this year.

Yes, playing cupcakes before rivals is lame. Yes, let's can the moral indignation. And then let's move on because Rivalry Week is upon us.

Bud Elliott sits in to talk about recruiting, de-recruitment, development, where Arkansas and Tennessee went wrong, and how to make it through a dreadful Week 12 slate with your sanity intact.

Bill and SB Nation's Matt Brown chat about Ohio, Michigan's newfound offense, Wisconsin's high floor, UCF's awesome play, and the way Miami makes potential CFP matchups fascinating.

Week 11 is the biggest weekend yet for the college football season, Randy Shannon is no Ed Orgeron, Penn State and Ohio State have massive disappointments to respond to, and Hard Rock Stadium will ROCK on Saturday night.

Jason Kirk stands in for Godfrey for a chat about Arkansas State's sense of reality, Michigan State's ability to drag you to its level, UCF as an uncontroversial top-10 team, and Vegas giving Ohio State even more love than the computers.

CFP rankings! Coaching carousel! Piesman front-runners! Charity exhibitions! Announcements! We’ve got a lot to cover this week.

Fresno State has a top-25 résumé, Miami is the king of drama, Paul Chryst has a large computer monitor, and Penn State went Full Moorhead on Saturday night.

Mike Gundy is comfortable in his own skin, Memphis-Navy might be the biggest game of the week, the Big 12 is a wonderful fireworks stand, we have all ruined Josh Allen, and Auburn's going to do something dumb.
