After a tense Week 7 in which we (confidently) got a number of predictions very wrong, let’s now try to answer some important questions:

• How close is Wisconsin to breaking through against a top 10 team? What ultimately helped Ohio State seal the win vs the Badgers?

• After demolishing Tennessee, can anyone keep it close vs Alabama in the SEC?

• What new things went wrong for Notre Dame in their loss to Stanford?

• How did North Carolina bounce back to beat Miami on the road?

• What the hell is happening with the Arizona schools?

• Who’s leading USC’s turnaround?

• Is Michigan State losing to Northwestern a new Big Ten normal?

• What did Arkansas do vs. Ole Miss that ultimately proves us (and many others) so wrong?

• Why is West Virginia considered to be even with Oklahoma and Baylor atop any and all Big 12 conversations?

...and much more!
