Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the biggest games that took place during college football rivalry week including Michigan’s win over Ohio State and Alabama’s last-second heroics over Auburn.
With Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh serving the final game of his three-game suspension, Sherrone Moore led Michigan to their third consecutive victory against Ohio State. The guys discuss how Michigan was able to win this game over their rival and how the narrative surrounding the team has to change. The Connor Stalions saga has dramatically decreased weight after the Wolverines proved they could win this game without Harbaugh on the sidelines. Ryan Day’s status as the head coach of Ohio State becomes much cloudier after this loss; Day has an incredible record, but his pattern of losses against blood-rival Michigan will undoubtedly cast pressure and doubt on his future.
The Iron Bowl did not disappoint at all this year; Auburn had Alabama on the ropes all game, but when the Crimson Tide needed some Milroe-magic, the quarterback came through big. The miraculous 4th & 31 touchdown pass from Jalen Milroe to Isaiah Bond kept Alabama’s playoff hopes alive as they are set to square off with Georgia this upcoming weekend in the SEC Championship.
The Washington Huskies showed guts in their Apple Cup win over Washington State on Saturday. Kalen DeBoer had an incredible play call on 4th & 1 on his own 29-yard-line to get the Huskies in field goal range. Washington is able to stay undefeated and this win has created an incredible matchup next weekend against Oregon in what could be the final Pac-12 championship game.
There are still eight teams with a legitimate chance to make the College Football Playoff, so the guys give their scenarios for who gets in and who gets left out when the season ends. Florida State continues to be a main catalyst for conversation as they stay undefeated, but without their starting QB Jordan Travis.
The coaching carousel has started up again and moves are already being made as Jonathan Smith is set to become the next coach for Michigan State, Mark Stoops was very close to leaving Kentucky for Texas A&M, Tom Allen is out at Indiana & Mississippi State still has a big decision to make for their vacant head coaching role.
To close out the show, Dan, Ross & Pat give out their Small Sample Heisman awards and as always, Say Something Nice.

Coach Day also lost to the ducks at home
Thanks fellas, for a reasonable, rational, well thought out take on Michigan and Ohio State. Michigan develops their talent better.
The Pac is the traditional leave out conference
Hi dear… Iam. A big fan of urs…❤❤❤iam. From kerala… Love u ..😊
Love your candid takes and out look on most stuff, I appreciate a good cfb discussion…. Go Blue!
Mich hasnt given up multiple TDs all season in either half and has never trailed all year in 2nd half and finally has only trailed for 23mins all season. Just insane
For Ohio State over the last several years, the more they've thrown the ball, the less effective they've been running it when they need to. One explosive back in Henderson. Too reliant on Marvin Harrison. Ebueka is supposedly a first round talent, but hasn't been a target.
Born on 3rd base, lost 3rd game to great Michigan Wolverine and going to hire 3rd PI firm soon
Hack Pat Forde still thinking Michigan uses ball boys to steal signs? He's a fucking joke.
Jim was bare chested with a fist of Prime Rib and one hand and a cold glass of Vitamin D milk in the other.
Dellenger's voice is smooth as butter. I could listen all day.
Michigan won by 20+ the last 2 years and only wins by 6?
Uh-uh-DUH
This guy thinks ncaa will do something in 24. Yeah ok still havent gotten the notice of allegations for burgergate and that started 2 years ago. I find it very unlikely ncaa will do anything anytime soon.
I’d argue with the fat guy that Michigan’s talent is every bit as good as Ohio State’s on this roster
Well Dan, Pat is still a scandal shrill.
It's like you guys have never listened to these Michigan players be interviewed. They are both smarter and better coached than any other team I have seen-that includes the sophomore Will Johnson. Forde is an embarrassment.
Day said LAST yr they chnged signs before game! Final: M 45 sleeznuts 23!
Forde yr an idiot! In 2018 NCAA stated "lil or no competit adv in pre scouting" So M is going to fall apart on a non competit adv chrg ! Forde yr biased!!!
EZ catch w WJ tackling Har arnd knees so Har chest was open fr EZ catch.
WJ was only a step behind Har!!
Plus Moore was O line and play caller !!!!
2018 Ms class rated #8, class rerated in 2021 – #3 !! Harbs has best total staff in US.
M has better TEAM not star talent!
Forde yr pitiful "Yr in disarray" where will you be to own up to Harbs signing extension!
Ryan Day = James Franklin with better talent
Why would the B1G suspend Harbs (after the NCAA told them there wasn't enough evidence to link Harbs w/ Stallions), if they thought the NCAA was gonna be the one dishing out punishment. Its funny to think y'all think he's dumb enough to ever be that close to something if there was something going on. Like my goodness its freaking ridiculous, advanced scouting and sign stealing has always been part of the game and to think Ryan day was so mad about losing he wanted to out the whole industry. Lets not even to mention the NCAA voted on disbanding the advanced scouting rule in 2021 and despite not disbanding ruled it provided "minimal competitive advantage".
