Let’s talk about the concerning wins of top teams, great September coaching jobs, crazy numbers, and Georgia’s realness.

On the latest episode of Wake Up, College Football, Dan Rubentein and Richard Johnson address the following questions with 100 percent correct answers:

• Which coach has done the best job early on, especially given specific challenges to his team? Duke’s David Cutcliffe trying to help the Blue Devils bounce back against a deep ACC? Lincoln Riley of Oklahoma taking over a top-five program from a legendary coach? Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente starting over at QB after the unexpected departure of Jerod Evans? What about Kliff Kingsbury and Texas Tech and the sudden defensive improvement?

• How will we fare on Ryan Nanni’s mini-game show testing our ability to spot extreme stats?
