On this episode of CFE Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey, and Ross Dellenger react to USC pulling off a massive upset over No. 2 Ohio State. What does this signature victory mean for Lincoln Riley’s future with the Trojans? Plus, the crew discusses Miami’s narrow escape against North Carolina, and Godfrey makes a passionate case to permanently retire the phrase "barely beat."
From there, ahead of the selection committee unveiling the first official CFP rankings on Tuesday, the guys dive into Andy’s latest 12-team bracket projection. Why is Notre Dame on the outside looking in? What should the committee do with the logjam of two-loss SEC contenders like Alabama and LSU? And will the Big Ten end up cannibalizing its own postseason bids before Week 10 sorts out the field?
To round out the show, the guys check the thermostat on college football's hottest coaching seats. Has Mike Norvell’s time at Florida State officially come to an end? How much time is left on the clock for Matt Rhule at Nebraska and Brent Venables at Oklahoma?
