It’s a particularly cranky episode of PAPN today. You can’t say we didn’t warn you.

Topics:

  • The Pac-12 is in a not-great place at the moment, but are we sure it’s because Washington and USC aren’t big enough?
  • You were the biggest name on the board for hiring a new coach, UNC, and you chose an ESPN color commentator?
  • There’s a lot wrong with college football, but conference title games probably shouldn’t go on the list.
  • Brent Venables really might just not want to be a head coach.
  • LSU-A&M was amazing. The post-game stupidity was even more amazing. Blaming the Egg Bowl for it was [galaxy brain].
  • Hey, Auburn. Cranky, huh? That’s fine. We are too.
  • Yes, technically an 0-12 team could be No. 1 in S&P+. Technically.
