Carla and Crappy Show: The Agree to Disagree Edition

It's Week 7 of the 2020 college football season and, well, we still have no idea. (Stop us if you've heard that before.) We head into the weekend with a whole bunch of headscratchers and unknowns. Since we recorded this episode on Tuesday evening, the status of the weekend's marquee matchup has been left in doubt due to a headline-stealing positive Covid test. LSU at Florida has been postponed for that same reason. What do we know? Carla says after reviewing last weekend's games, there's a clear top team in the country. Crappy thinks that the Big 12's defensive issues have spread into the SEC.

Meanwhile, AJ has an abundance of really good #GroupOfFiveAfterDark matchups to dive into this weekend.

But then? For the first time in, well, as long as we can both remember, Crappy and Carla are on opposing sides in every matchup. If that's not the epitome of 2020, we're not sure what is.

No. 8 Cincinnati at Tulsa (Noon ET, ESPN2): It's Tulsa's first home game of the season ... and homecoming to boot. Cincy's sitting pretty at 3-0 and statistically is better than Tulsa in all categories. Yet, according to one website, Tulsa has a 59 percent chance of winning this game. Huh. Carla takes Cincy; Crappy takes Tulsa. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This was all correct until Thursday, when the game was postponed. Enjoy the discussion anyway.)

Boston College at No. 23 Virginia Tech (8 ET, ACC Network): BC has managed to fly under the radar while playing solid football. The Hokies are powered by their run game; BC happens to be pretty darn good against the run. Tech is favored by double digits. Why? Crappy's all in on an Eagles upset; Carla hesitantly takes VT at home.

No. 3 Georgia at No. 2 Alabama (8 ET, CBS): The SEC's two top teams go head-to-head, and that matchup between Alabama's offense and that stealthy Bulldog defense should be spectacular. Carla goes against her better judgment and takes Georgia in a stunner; Crappy thinks the Tide can do just enough on defense to win. And now, thanks to Nick Saban's positive COVID test, no one is sure whether this game will actually happen. Stay tuned.

We're even on opposite sides on Sunday as our two favorite NFL teams go head-to-head ... which yes, we mention at the end of the show. (How could we not?) So, yeah. Hang in there, boys and girls. It could be a bumpy weekend, but we're here with you all the way ... even if we can't agree on anything. Enjoy whatever football happens, yinz guys.
