It’s time for your Week 9 tasting menu!

Today’s topics:

  • Nothing better than west coast kickoff times.
  • Thursday and Friday night should actually be fun! Utah! Indiana-Minnesota bowl elimination game! App State-Georgia Southern!
  • The Saturday morning shift is all about desperation — Bobby Petrino vs. Wake Forest, Purdue vs. hangovers, Arkansas and Vandy have their best chance at SEC wins.
  • Is Florida ready for a game as big as this week’s Cocktail Party?
  • The evening table is set for Texas-Oklahoma State, but ... which Texas will show up? And which Oklahoma State?
  • #AskPAPN: FAU’s struggles, Tee Martin’s debatable quality, Kendal Briles’ future, Godfrey’s rooting interests, etc.
