Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI\\u2019s Pat Forde make their picks against the spread for the biggest games of Week 1 of the college football season.
To kick off the pod, Ross gives us an update on the latest from the yearly College Football Playoff meetings in Dallas. The guys dive into how the structure of the expanded playoff must include automatic bids in order to preserve the importance of the regular season, along with how the ACC/Big Ten/Pac-12 \\u201cAlliance\\u201d got to this point.
Nebraska has had a huge week in the news \\u2013 some good, some bad. First, the school set an attendance record for a women\\u2019s volleyball game at home against Omaha. Then, Nebraska football player Arik Gilbert was arrested after allegedly robbing a liquor store. But for Dan, Ross & Pat, the coup de gr\\xe2ce for Nebraska came after a man was pulled over driving with a full-sized bull riding shotgun.
South Alabama and Tulane face off this week in the \\u201cBattle for Mardi Gras,\\u201d and the guys dive into which team should have the title of the true Mardi Gras originators.
Wrapping up the show, the \\u201cRace for the Case\\u201d is back. The guys make their picks, leading off with the Florida Gators visiting the #14 ranked Utah Utes. Next, the Colorado Buffaloes face off at the #17 ranked TCU Horned Frogs in Coach Prime\\u2019s Power Five debut. The Battle of the Carolinas takes place this weekend between the #21 ranked UNC Tarheels and South Carolina Gamecocks in Charlotte, NC.
