ESPN's Bill Connelly on why college football's November will be UPSIDE DOWN

The college football coaching carousel is picking up speed, and we've got another round of major changes to unpack. Dave Aranda is out at Baylor, Drew Mehringer has been dismissed as Oregon's offensive coordinator, and the speculation surrounding openings at NC State and Maryland is getting more interesting by the day. We discuss what went wrong, where these programs go next, and which names could emerge as potential replacements.

Then, it's our final installment of Bill-toberfest! ESPN's Bill Connelly joins us to make sense of a college football season that refuses to settle down. Which contenders are for real? Are there warning signs for Indiana? Is Miami as good as its record suggests? How interesting is the middle of the Big 12? And how chaotic could the SEC's championship and College Football Playoff races become?

We also dig into Kentucky's surprising success, Georgia and LSU's championship prospects, Utah's ceiling, Arizona's emergence, and the teams whose underlying numbers tell a different story from their records. Plus, Bill reveals how this unpredictable season has influenced his SP+ model.
