Week 8 Picks: Clemson vs Syracuse, UCLA at Oregon & can Alabama bounce back + a CFP update

Andy, Ari and Nicole pick the week eight games against the spread. Also, Nicole finally pays off the cottage cheese bet she made on Washington-UCLA. There are a lot of interesting games this week, including a What-Does-Vegas-Know-That-We-Don't line in Texas-Oklahoma State and a very big spread in UNLV-Notre Dame. Plus, can Bryce Young and Alabama avenge last week's loss to Tennessee in a matchup against Mississippi State? Is Clemson the most underrated top-5 team in the country, and is Syracuse their biggest roadblock to the CFP? Is College Station nearing DEFCON 5? Before the gang picks Saturday's games, Nicole reports on takeaways from the CFP management committee's meeting about an accelerated 12-team postseason.
