College football spent Saturday shredding everybody’s confidence. Scott and Marc inspect the wreckage, roast the coaching decisions and build a betting card with more dogs than an animal shelter.

ON THE SHOW
• Georgia falls, Tennessee beats Bama, and Ryan Day’s play-calling sends Scott searching for the complaint department.
• Texas needs Arch support. Sark’s leadership, QB development and playoff path get examined with absolutely no bedside manner.
• Notre Dame’s résumé, BYU’s atmosphere and the difference between playoff ambition and roster depth.
• Field storming: celebrate after the clock hits zero—or Scott would like your school to receive a multimillion-dollar invoice.
• Replay transparency, NFL QB prospects, and why the drill-sergeant coaching routine needs updating.
• A tribute to veteran coach Chuck “The Breast,” Amato, plus the weekly reminder that chaos is why we watch.
