After a wild Week 7, we're back with ESPN's Bill Connelly to make sense of a college football season that keeps getting stranger. With five of the top seven teams losing and quarterback questions piling up across the country, is there actually a great team in college football right now?
We dig into the fallout from Julian Sayin's injury at Ohio State, the struggles at Penn State under Matt Campbell, and the increasingly fascinating Big 12 race between BYU, Texas Tech and Utah. Plus, Bill weighs in on the Group of Six playoff picture, the Heisman race, and which teams might be better than their records suggest.
Then we tackle more of your questions, revisit some preseason expectations with a little trick-or-treat, and identify the teams lurking in the shadows that could turn November upside down. Plus, your Week 7 Reverbs!
