Carla and Crappy Show: A Chill In The Air Edition

It’s Week 8 of the college football season … and it finally feels like football weather. (And for one of us, that’s true both inside the house as well as outside. Gotta love furnaces!)

We begin by recapping the insanity that was Week 7, including Florida's offensive inconsistencies, a poorly timed trip to the nacho line, and anxiety over October performances. Then, AJ explains the cause of his heartburn in this week’s #Pac12AfterDark report.

And finally, we break down the rest of this week’s action.

Michigan at Michigan State (12 ET, FOX): The two Teams Up North roll into this rivalry game on high notes. Michigan dominated Wisconsin last week; Sparty stunned Penn State at Beaver Stadium. (Yep, one of us is still bitter about that. You can probably guess who.) Can Michigan State pull off two big wins in a row? Is Michigan as improved as they look? Should be a great one in East Lansing.

NC State at Clemson (3:30 ET, ESPN): So, the Wolfpack has very quietly worked its way into an undefeated season and national ranking. (Who knew?) But the Tigers are quite the test … and the first one that NC State has seen all year. Ryan Finley (who must be a 12th-year senior at this point) faces his toughest test of the season against a top-5 Clemson defense.

Mississippi State at LSU (7 ET, ESPN): Yes, we’re talking about LSU yet again … but can you blame us after the performance the Tigers had against Georgia last week? LSU needs to be careful that this isn’t a letdown game (because, you know, Alabama looms); Mississippi State is hoping that Nick Fitzgerald can just run the ball for a zillion yards again. We’ll see how that plays out against an LSU defense that baffled Jake Fromm last weekend.

So, grab your parka and your fuzzy hat … find yourself a hot chocolate vendor … and settle in for a great Week 8.
