The College Football Playoff committee put Notre Dame at No. 11, and now No. 1 Miami comes to South Bend. Is this an elimination game for the Irish? Jake and Will break down CJ Carr and the Notre Dame offense, the injuries piling up on the Irish defense, and whether anyone can slow down Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney.

It might be the best Saturday of the season, so the guys also preview the Holy War, where BYU and Utah meet as top 10 teams for the first time, and Georgia at Ole Miss. Then it is time for the Walk-On Weekly 10 presented by Battle Bets. Will won last week 6-4. Can Jake get even?

Topics discussed:

• Miami at Notre Dame: why the No. 11 ranking makes this a must-win for the Irish
• Notre Dame injuries on defense and the Leonard Moore vs. Malachi Toney matchup
• BYU at Utah: Bear Bachmeier vs. Devon Dampier and Morgan Scalley’s first Holy War as head coach
• Georgia at Ole Miss: Trinidad Chambliss without Kewan Lacy against Georgia’s defense
• Why the College Football Playoff has not ruined the regular season
• Walk-On Weekly 10 picks: West Virginia at Texas Tech, UCLA at Minnesota, Texas at Missouri, Oregon at Ohio State, Kentucky at Tennessee, Iowa at Northwestern, Alabama at LSU, Georgia at Ole Miss, BYU at Utah and Miami at Notre Dame

Is the Big Ten a fraud? The first College Football Playoff rankings are out, and Jake and Will do not hold back. Alabama is No. 5 with two losses, undefeated UCLA is No. 8, and Wake Forest sits all the way down at No. 16. The guys go through the full top 25 and debate whether the committee got any of it right.

Then it is on to the Big Ten. Ohio State lost 30-18 at USC with a true freshman at quarterback. Indiana needed a 60-yard field goal to force overtime against Minnesota before winning 23-16. Iowa shut out Wisconsin 30-0. Seven teams now sit at two conference losses, and Will makes a bold call on how the Big Ten will do in the playoff.

Topics discussed:

• The first CFP rankings: Alabama at No. 5, UCLA at No. 8, Wake Forest at No. 16
• Is the No. 2 ranking cursed? Notre Dame, BYU and Ohio State lost in three straight weeks
• USC 30, Ohio State 18: what went wrong for the Buckeyes without Julian Sayin
• Indiana survives Minnesota in a game with two 60-yard field goals
• Conference title races in the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC and SEC
• Texas Tech 34, Arizona 26: J’Koby Williams and Tommy Castellanos run wild
• Iowa State 51, Oklahoma State 49
• Iowa 30, Wisconsin 0
• Mike Norvell is out at Florida State, and the Brian Kelly memes return

The preview episode drops Thursday with Utah vs BYU, Miami vs Notre Dame, Georgia vs Ole Miss and the Walk-On Weekly 10 presented by Battle Bets.
