They also delve into a scenario where Alabama is a one-loss SEC Champion that's being compared to a one-loss Big 12 Champion Texas. Also, the pair react to CFP committee chairman Boo Corrigan's explainations for FSU, and Oregon still being ranked ahead of Texas. Later, Nicole and Chris appraise the Michigan State and Texas A&M hirings. Plus, the two discuss the remaining head coaching vacancies from easiest to hardest, Sean Lewis rumors, Fran Brown to Syracuse, and the POPTART BOWL!

Auerbach and Staples Coaching Search Firm LLC & The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Part: Andy and The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach hop on mic after USC's drubbing by the hands (wings) of the Oregon Ducks (1:00). And though it was a notable day for the Pac-12, it wasn't so much for Clay Helton (3:00). Will FSU part ways with Willie Taggart? If so, who are candidates who could fill the head coach void? The coaching search firm of Auerbach & Staples is here to discuss (5:50). Georgia answers its critics (18:30), and SMU/Memphis was what we all craved (22:15). Andy then welcomes in The Athletics' Florida writer, Will Sammon, and Georgia writer, Seth Emerson, from The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party (26:30). The group chats if Florida has reached its ceiling (28:30), the impact of Georgia's run game (32:00), how will Florida view this season (35:00), and what improvements does Georgia need to make to compete for a playoff spot (37:30)? by Until Saturday: A show about college football
