After a tumultuous Rivalry/Hate Week, Dan and Ty convene to try and answer the following questions:

• How were QB Jarrett Stidham and Auburn able to play a complete game against Alabama and come away with a comfortable win?

• What was the turning point for Ohio State going to Ann Arbor and walking away with a win vs. Michigan?

• Did Pitt expose anything new about Miami in its shocking win over the Hurricanes?

• Where are Notre Dame fans frustrated with the Irish after their late fade at Stanford?

• With a healthy track record of doing so in the past, what did this year’s comfortable Washington win in the Apple Cup entail?

• Now that Virginia Tech is again the winner of the Commonwealth Cup, when will Ty make good on his promise to dress up as a pilgrim?

• Who on Oklahoma deserves our thoughts and prayers?

...and much more!
