What was the difference between the Huskers and Hawkeyes? Matt Rhule to Lincoln... we will brush a little upon it!

MICH/OSU What transpired in Columbus?! How shocked are we with the outcome? Are there aspects we overlooked on either side? What should the CFP look like when all is said and done?

Welcome to Episode 47.2! We are previewing the 3 B1G games that will decide the East & West Divisional crowns! NEB/IOWA Dalton was wrong, and NOT JUST ONCE?! We'll take it! Can Nebraska be the stick in the spokes of the Hawkeye bandwagon? Is the defense good enough to win in spite of the offense's ineptitude? Is there a chance, even with a win, could AT LEAST one Ferentz not be coaching at Iowa next year? PUR/IU Must-win for Purdue (will know if it's for the West) Rivalries are weird, COULD the Hoosiers derail ANY chances or take the Bucket from the Boilermakers? The Bucket IS enough to want to beat IU, in Sam's experience! HALFTIME: Beer'd Al Podcast & From the Middle Podcast MICH/OSU The Wolverines try to get back-to-back wins over Ohio St. First "REAL" test for both, winner expected to be slotted into the CFP Does Michigan trust JJ McCarthy enough for him to be expected to win? As always... #HEADLINES!

Welcome to Episode 48.2! We are previewing the only B1G game! Purdue v. Michigan PUR QB Aidan O'Connell lost his brother earlier this week. Would anyone blame him if he chose NOT to play? Do we think he'll play? Blake Corum is out, and Mazi Smith has been charged with a gun crime. ----Will there be a detraction from the overall Wolverine performance? Does Purdue have any shot? Does a Purdue win hurt Ohio St. if USC wins & the Buckeyes don't make the #CFP? CFP Rankings What can happen that would change the top 4: UGA, MICH, TCU, USC? Should a team be punished for losing what has been acknowledged, by the committee, as a "bonus game?" Who is in "no matter what happens?" TCU has more "good wins" than multiple top 5 teams. Notre Dame was better than what most thought they were after losing to Marshall. 2 of their 4 losses are to top 5 teams (OSU & USC) Beat #9 Clemson What would a playoff team w/more than 2 losses look like in an expanded playoff scenario, this year? CFP Expansion Rose Bowl agrees to amend the final two years of the current CFP contract in order to start an expanded playoff (12 teams) as early as next year! Is this a good thing? Sam urges the CFP to give a certain group of the 12 teams a reward! #HEADLINES!
