Take the Points

Updated 11-07-17 

Throughout the 2017 season, we will attempt to figure out the greatest college football team of the past 25 years. Each week, the last segment of our podcast will be dedicated to one of these hypothetical match-ups, with the winner advancing in our bracket. The Greatest Teams of Our Lifetime championship will be determined during our National Championship Game podcast in January. Visit the podcasts page and start with the 2017 season preview episode to listen from the beginning.

Dan and Tom look back at Notre Dame’s blowout of USC and project which teams will make the playoff. They predict the best games of week 9, including Penn State vs. Ohio State, Georgia vs. Florida and a lot more.

This week, we move into Round 2 of the Greatest Teams of Our Lifetime bracket with a game between the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers against the 1999 Florida State Seminoles.

Each week of the 2017 season, we’ll break down one game from this hypothetical bracket until we figure out the best college football team of the past 25 years. If you’re just discovering this bracket, you can go back to our week 1 episode to listen from the very start.

Tom, Dan and Ryan begin the show with a quick recap of a crazy week 7 in college football, then preview the biggest games of week 8, including Penn State vs. Michigan, Alabama vs. Tennessee and a lot more. We bid a premature farewell to Butch Jones and try to decide which major program coach should be next on the chopping block.

This week’s Greatest Teams of Our Lifetime matchup pits Ken Dorsey, Ed Reed and the 2001 Miami Hurricanes against Cam Newton and 2010 Auburn. We recap the two magical seasons and decide who would win this hypothetical game.
