It’s your weekly Sunday PAPN recap! We’re setting the timer and walking through the S&P+ top 25. That means talking about...

  • NC State and the PAPN Effect. (You too should buy air time for your school in the name of charity. Look what happens!)
  • Boise State’s Houston beef.
  • USC is so damn frustrating.
  • Tennessee is good and lucky and good and ridiculously lucky ... and 5-0.
  • LSU looked like what LSU is supposed to look like. And it looked effortless. The Orgeron Effect is real*
  • Holy crap, Washington.
  • Louisville proved itself a top-5 team in a loss.
  • Alabama outscored Kentucky 17-3 in the first half and 17-3 in the second.
  • Holy crap, Ohio State.

* Note: This bullet point will self-destruct if or when LSU does.
