In addition to that, Penn State is headed to Columbus to face off with the Ohio State Buckeyes. And of course we cannot forget the 'Cocktail Party' happening in the SEC between the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators.
Reacting to all the action from week 8 of the College Football season. Biggest winners include: The Ohio State Buckeyes, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Iowa State Cyclones. As for the biggest losers of the week: The Clemson Tigers stink. Penn State is absolutely falling apart. Which Purdue team is the real team? NC State blew it against Miami. And Utah failed to live up.
Oklahoma seems to have found a new starting quarterback as they continue to roll with Caleb Williams. Ole Miss gets a big win against Tennessee. Cincinnati Bearcats continue to blow the doors off their opponents. The Texas Longhorns continue to collapse in epic fashion. And what are the Florida Gators doing?
What a week it was! The Red River Showdown lived up to the hype, and more. Texas jumped out to the early lead, but what a comeback by Oklahoma. Cincinnati Bearcats kept their undefeated season going strong. Josh Heupel has the Tennessee Volunteers looking great. And what happened to BYU?
Heading into week 6 of the College Football season, there are plenty of games to get excited about this weekend. Penn State versus Iowa should be a fantastic matchup. Can Maryland bounce back against Ohio State? Both Arizona State and Stanford are coming off big wins, who maintains that momentum with a win? And of course there is Oklahoma versus Texas in another Red River Rivalry matchup.
Reacting to all the madness that happened during week 5 of the College Football season. Cincinnati goes into South Bend and beats up on Notre Dame. Kentucky gets wild and beats Florida. Iowa absolutely blasted Maryland. Arizona State shut UCLA out in the second half for a big win on the road. Georgia destroys Arkansas, and Alabama is still Alabama.
Great selection of games coming up with week 5. Iowa Hawkeyes at Maryland Terrapins. Michigan Wolverines at Wisconsin Badgers. Arizona State Sun Devils at UCLA Bruins. Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats. Arkansas Razorbacks at Georgia Bulldogs. Cincinnati Bear Cats at Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Ole Miss Rebels at Alabama Crimson Tide.
First and foremost, oh how the mighty have fallen. The Clemson Tigers lose to NC State. The North Carolina Tarheels were embarrassed by Georgia Tech. USC continues to struggle. UCLA captured a nice bounce-back win. And despite the many doubters, Notre Dame just keeps winning.
Hard to believe week 4 of the College Football season is already here. We break down some of the best matchups this week: Arkansas Razorbacks vs Texas A&M Aggies. Florida Gators vs Tennessee Volunteers. Oklahoma Sooners vs West Virginia Mountaineers. Clemson Tigers vs North Carolina Tar Heels. Wisconsin Badgers vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Best weekend of college football so far. West Virginia proved themselves with win over Virginia Tech. Notre Dame got a good win against Purdue. The BYU Cougars with back-to-back big wins. Ohio State Buckeyes struggle to put away Tulsa. UCLA loses a close one to Fresno State. Florida State was blown out by Wake Forest. Miami Hurricanes downgraded to an afternoon shower. Oh, and the Clemson Tigers STINK!
Week 3 is here, and USC has already fired Clay Helton. In a Big 10 versus SEC battle Penn State takes on Auburn, and we both think the Nittany Lions get the win in a close one. Another game that interests us is Virginia Tech traveling to Morgantown to take on West Virginia, and we give the edge to the home team in this one. Plus more ranked on ranked action with BYU set to take on the Sun Devils of Arizona State.
Week two of the College Football season did not feature as many big matchups as the first week, but it was full of some unexpected outcomes. Notre Dame nearly losing to Toledo. Ohio State looking pitiful while losing to Oregon. Florida State losing to FCS Jacksonville State literally as time expires.

College football is "officially" back with Week 1 of the season set to kickoff Thursday night with a matchup of two of the top and most well known group of five programs, as Boise State takes on UCF. Biggest game of the week in terms of ranked versus ranked will feature the #5 Georgia Bulldogs facing off against #3 Clemson. Can Ohio State avoid thinking ahead to Oregon and take care of business against Minnesota? Is Texas football back? All that and more.
First and foremost, HAVE FUN WITH IT. That being said, we cover some of the other basics of success. What is the right number of leagues to be in? How many leagues is too many? Drafting in the first round is easy, but the real difference is determined by capturing added value in the rounds that follow. Never underestimate the power of the waiver wire.
Haps and Fresh discuss the teams they each consider to be on the rise, and those that are heading in the wrong direction. Both agree that the Las Vegas Raiders are on the decline, following their ongoing struggles to capitalize via the draft. Plenty of bold takes with Fresh including the Denver Broncos on his list of rising teams, while Haps feels that the San Francisco 49ers are fading fast.
It's all about the money, and we have yet another prime example of that fact. College football is in a bit of disarray with the recent developments regarding Oklahoma and Texas leaving the Big 12 in favor of the SEC. In what seems to be an attempt to respond, the Big 10, ACC, and Pac-12 announced an unofficial alliance.
Haps and Fresh share their thoughts on which college football programs are on the rise, as well as those that are fading fast. Then comes a discussion regarding which college football stadiums that the guys would most like to visit for a game and why.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Irrational Confidence podcast. This is our take on sports. The right take in the most important take there is out there. We're going to be talking College football this week as we are getting closer and closer to the new college football season.
