I went 11-14 in Week 8 of the new College Football season.
The teams at the top of the college football rankings have been playing hot potato with about a dozen spots. There are still a couple undefeated teams out there, but it’s clear that teams with one, two, or maybe even three losses will make the College Football Playoff this season.
How will Luke Fahey fare as the new starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes?
