The show rundown is as follows. A direct link to listen can be found here.
- News of the week: Georgia really cashed it in by winning so big over Mississippi State with a number of elite prospects in attendance. No. 1 QB Justin Fields, linebackers Channing Tindall and Adam Anderson, and elite guards Jamaree Salyer and Trey Hill. This is what coaches dream of — a great atmosphere, and a great performance. Georgia currently has the Nation’s No. 14 recruiting class, but will likely rise a lot by National Signing Day.
- IMG beat Miami Central: Miami QB commit Artur Sitkowski got benched, Alabama 2019 RB commit Trey Sanders played well, and it was a very good game.
- Separation Saturday: Are Alabama and Georgia the class of the SEC after destroying Vanderbilt and Mississippi State? Who would give Alabama a better game — Georgia or Auburn?
- Freshmen QBs: Georgia (Jake Fromm), Texas (Sam Ehlinger), Florida State (James Blackman), and Texas A&M (Kellen Mond). How were they in high school, and how are the teams making them work?
- The FBI college hoops investigation: How much of this goes on in football? What does $150K for a basketball player who is likely a one-and-done suggest a football player could be worth?
- If all college football players came back to school, who would win the national title? (Teasing Bud’s upcoming article)
- Was Butch Jones’ rant inspired because of a question about one of his players punching another?
- Re-visiting our hot seat talk from Week 4: Kevin Sumlin’s Texas A&M Aggies beat Bret Bielema’s Arkansas Razorbacks, Barry Odom’s Missouri Tigers got crushed at home by Gus Malzahn’s Auburn team, Ed Orgeron’s LSU Tigers struggled against Syracuse, Jim McElwain’s Florida Gators beat Mark Stoops’ Kentucky Wildcats, and Butch Jones’ Tennessee Volunteers struggled with UMass. Did anyone substantially alter their fortunes?
- What will we learn this week? Who is going to get upset? Texas (-6.5) at Iowa State, Miami (-6.5) at Duke, Nebraska (-6.5) at Illinois, USC (-4) at Washington State, Georgia (-7) at Tennessee, Mississippi State at Auburn (-9.5), Clemson (-7.5) at Virginia Tech, and Colorado at UCLA (-7), and Florida State (-7.5) at Wake Forest.
