SI’s Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde examine the biggest powerhouses for the upcoming weekend of college football action.
The rising Notre Dame Fighting Irish will face the #6 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. This has the potential to be a career-defining match for Marcus Freeman as a win could push him out of Brian Kelly’s shadow.
The #10 ranked Oregon Ducks host the #19 ranked Colorado Buffaloes in a marquee Pac-12 matchup on Saturday. With the latest news of Travis Hunter’s injury keeping him sidelined for the next three to four weeks, the guys think the Ducks might be too much for Colorado.
Lane Kiffin isn’t going into Alabama quietly, as the Ole Miss head coach has already performed two troll jobs on the Crimson Tide. Kiffin started stirring the pot by saying he had a source in Tuscaloosa who told him Alabama defensive coordinator Kevin Steele wasn’t calling Alabama’s defense. This statement drew a swift response from Nick Saban, who denied the claim. Kiffin also posted a video of Taylor Swift performing her song “Castles Crumbling.” The song contains lyrics that hint at a power’s fall from grace and the end of a dynasty. Another shot at Saban and a not-so-dominant Alabama team?
The ACC has a huge matchup this weekend between #4 ranked Florida State and Clemson. The show notes that this could be the chance for Mike Norvell and Florida State to finally return to the top of the ACC by taking down Clemson.
In the Big Ten, Michigan State has announced it is beginning the process of firing head football coach Mel Tucker following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a female staff member. Pat and Dan dive back into the saga and believe this will truly be the end of Tucker at MSU.
Finally, the People’s Court is hearing a case involving a Florida man, an excavator, and a Walmart.
