The Solid Verbal

So, yeah, there's a lot going on. In this college football podcast episode, we react to the news that Penn State fired James Franklin after a 3-3 start—a move that seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago. We dive into what went wrong, why Pat Kraft pulled the trigger now, and who's next for the Nittany Lions. Beyond the Franklin fallout, we reveal the latest Verballer Top 12 poll results and dissect the AP Poll's biggest movers. Then we turn our attention to Week 8's marquee matchups: Ole Miss at Georgia in a massive SEC showdown, Tennessee traveling to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama, and the always-entertaining USC-Notre Dame rivalry game under the lights. We're making picks, breaking down matchups, and yes, irresponsibly picking upsets. We also touch on other coaching moves (RIP Trent Dilfer and Trent Bray), debate Illinois' playoff chances, talk through our Fan Commenter Power Ratings, and introduce a potential new "Haters Tier."
