College Football Nerds

The theme of the bowl season is conference isolation. Utah played no power 5 teams out of conference, but did have a common opponent with Ohio State in Oregon. Will CJ Stroud, Olave and Wilson put together a more efficient scoring attack? Or will this powerful Utah defense force the Buckeyes to waste a lot of yards?

Baylor is coming off of a huge win in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game over Oklahoma State. Ole Miss handled their rivals to end the season with 10 wins. Will a healthy Gerry Bohanon benefit Baylor more than Matt Corral getting some healthy teammates back and getting healthy himself? How does conference isolation impact our predictions?

Let's talk CFP, what happens now that Baylor won, and how Alabama was able to shock the Bulldogs.

Oklahoma State is coming into this one sky high after defeating Oklahoma. Can they repeat their success against Baylor from game 1? Will Bohanan play, and if he doesn't, will Baylor still have a good shot at getting the W?

Michigan is riding high after their big win over Ohio State. The data shows that Hassan Haskins and Cade McNamara may be in for a bit of a tough day offensively. But Michigan's got a powerful defense of their own. Will it be enough to win?

Alabama comes into Atlanta with an 11-1 record but a shaky and battered offense. Will the Crimson Tide defense be enough to slow Stetson Bennett and this highly efficient UGA offensive attack? Will Bryce Young be able to find just enough points to get the win vs this nasty Bulldog defense?

Lincoln Riley is taking his talents to USC in a crazy college football season and leaving Oklahoma fans in shock. We talk about what pushed him to make this move and what it means for both the Trojans and Oklahoma Sooner programs.

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk Ohio State losing to a hyped up Michigan team, and Bryce Young's come from behind win vs Auburn.

Auburn's coming in off of a disappointing loss where TJ Finley had to take the reigns for an injured Bo Nix. Alabama lit up the score board and the stat sheet vs Arkansas, but struggled again defensively. Are Auburn fans ready to replace Harsin? Can Alabama put both offense and defense together in a game when it counts?

Oklahoma coming into Stillwater fresh off a win vs Iowa State, while the Cowboys are looking to strengthen their playoff hopes with a win over the Sooners. Will Caleb Williams come to play or might Rattler be the better option here? Can Spencer Sanders find enough offense to survive and advance?

CJ Stroud and this Ohio State offense are coming in to Ann Arbor off of a fresh dragging of Michigan State. Has Michigan's offense found something after putting half a hundred up on Maryland? Will that defense be able to slow Treveyon Henderson, Chris Olave, and Garrett Wilson enough to stay within striking distance for Cade Mcnamara and Hassan Haskins to do their thing?

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk Oregon losing to Utah, Ohio State dragging the Michigan State spartans, Alabama vs Arkansas, and the shaping up playoff and Heisman race

Alabama coming off of a dominating win of New Mexico State, but have to face a ranked and ready Arkansas team. Will the Alabama offense we saw earlier in the year show up, or will the Alabama offense vs LSU be the one we see? How will Odom attack Bryce Young? Can Jefferson find enough offense two weeks in a row to get a win?

Ohio State is coming off a proper pounding of Purdue while Michigan State lost to them a week prior. We talk about how just looking at those two outcomes is fool's gold when matchups win the day. Will CJ Stroud go off again in his push for a Heisman trip to NY? Can Kenneth Walker have his 2nd Heisman moment of the season?

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk Baylor taking down Oklahoma from the ranks of the unbeaten, Georgia cruising again vs a conference opponent, and Ohio State putting up a massive number vs Purdue

The Big 10 finally starts to sort itself out. After trying to wrap our heads around why this isn't a ranked matchup, we then try to wrap our heads around how anyone will score. The health of Michigan players like Corum and Penn State's Clifford are a major factor.

Georgia is still powering ahead as the #1 team in the nation. Stetson Bennett has been named the starter over JT Daniels. Can he keep this offense going against Hendon Hooker and the Tennessee Vols who look to put up an offensive number of their own?

Ohio State is coming off of a somewhat disappointing win over Nebraska, while Purdue is riding high after taking down #3 Michigan State. Can Purdue slay another highly ranked dragon? Or will the Buckeyes keep marching toward the playoffs?

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk Alabama struggling vs LSU, Wake Forest and Michigan State losing their undefeated status, Oregon in a dog fight with Washington. Ohio State wins ugly vs Nebraska.

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk CJ Stroud and Ohio State struggling offensively vs this Penn State defense. Georgia's defense smothers the Florida Gators, and Auburn is in control vs an Ole Miss team without Matt Corral.

Both Michigan and Michigan State roll into East Lansing undefeated. Mel Tucker may be auditioning for the LSU job, but either way he looks to move his squad to 8-0 with Kenneth Walker III leading the way. Corum and Haskins try to bolster Cade McNamara's QB player to bring another win over the Spartans back home.

Georgia's coming into the cocktail party #1 while Florida is reeling from the LSU loss. Will Stetson Bennett be QB1 in this game or will we see the return of JT Daniels? Will Brock Bowers continue impressing in this UGA offense and find another gear? Will we see Emory Jones or will it be the Anthony Richardson show?

Matt Corral and the Ole Miss Rebels are coming into Jordan Hare Stadium banged up and exhausted. Can they put together enough offense and defense to escape Auburn with a win? Bo Nix and this Auburn offense seem to have found something halfway through the season, will they be able to win if it turns into a track meet?

Penn State is coming off of a crushing loss to Illinois. Ohio State absolutely handled business vs Indiana. Can CJ Stroud take the next step in evolving this Ohio State offense it a juggernaut against a great Penn State defense? Will Sean Clifford find some magic against an OSU defense that's been porous at times?

We're talking all the action of the day - let's talk Ohio State walking Indiana. Alabama up 7 over Tennessee at the half, the big Illinois win over Penn State, Iowa dropping Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma getting pulled through by Caleb Williams
