It's Week 7 of the college football season and Carla and Crappy are both looking back at the first half of the season ... and still hoping someone would just beat Notre Dame already, dammit. (We're looking at you, Virginia Tech.)
After our first-half highlights and AJ's Pac-12 After ... Noon? report, we dive into three games with big-time implications this weekend:
Pitt at Notre Dame (2:30 ET, NBC): OK, so maybe we're just talking about this one because we REEEEAAAALLLLY want someone to beat Notre Dame. But, to their credit, the Panthers do have a history of winning one game each year that they have no business being in. Maybe this is the week? Or just wishful thinking on our parts? Probably the latter.
Georgia at LSU (3:30 ET, CBS): If Georgia wants any chance of making the playoff this year (because, you know, Notre Dame), it absolutely, under any circumstances, cannot lose this game. LSU's looking to rebound at home after its loss last week at Florida; we just wish this game was a nighttime kick. Anyhow, clear your schedules. Don't miss this one.
Wisconsin at Michigan (7:30 ET, ABC): We're salivating over this classic Big Ten matchup. It's strength-on-strength as Jonathan Taylor and one of the top rush offenses in the nation face off against the top-rated defense in the country. Michigan's an improved squad, but are the Wolverines' offensive struggles fixed? Insert shoulder shrugs here. This should be a low-scoring, bruising (and chilly!) game in the Big House.
So, grab a glass of cider and hunker down for a great weekend of college football, kids.
