CFB Week 12
THE PLAYOFFS LOOM LARGE! Ross and Reade hop on the mics to discuss 2 important west coast matchups and the outlook of the main playoff contenders. Will USC stay alive in the conversation as they take on UCLA on the road. Oregon looks to bounce back after a devastating loss to Washington as they host Utah. Georgia, Ohio St, Michigan, TCU and Tennessee seem to be our most likely candidates for the 4 spots, but who will fill them? None of these 5 teams play a cupcake this week and will face teams anxious to take down a giant. Sleepwalking will do you no favors. Do Clemson, UNC, Oregon and USC have legitimate arguments to have a spot? Will LSU become the first 2 loss team to make it if they can beat Georgia? So much is still up in the air and the guys try to make sense of it all.
