Can Texas take revenge against Georgia, and why has Carson Beck been so good lately? Is Oregon really the best team in the country? SMU deserves a playoff spot regardless of Saturday's results, and Clemson could be a bid thief. Cam Skettebo for Heisman? Boise State-UNLV win-and-your-in game. Later, Chris has coaching carousel updates, including West Virginia and UCF's top candidates, FSU, Michigan and Oklahoma's coordinator changes, and more!
