Richard, Alex, and Rodger Sherman talk through a huge Week 12 in college football, highlighting a few dozen games that should be fun! Among the many topics discussed on this episode:

* Texas-Georgia, the real push-comes-to-shove spot for Arch Manning

* Iowa-USC, the ultimate test of what Lincoln Riley is building in L.A.

* Oklahoma-Alabama, where we think the Sooners have a good shot

* UVA-Duke, in which a backup QB stands in the way of Duke mounting a serious playoff push and creating a doomsday scenario for the ACC

* Is Miami back in the playoff race now? Might be! Why? Don’t know!

* Florida-Ole Miss, which the Rebels have to be glad is not in Gainesville

* UCLA-Ohio State, which is really just a chance to talk about the legal battle unfolding now between UCLA and the Rose Bowl

* Tennessee Tech-Kentucky, in what some are calling the most captivating Week 12 matchup ever between an FCS team and SEC team

* Richard’s big debut as a CBS Sports sideline reporter for UConn-Air Force

* Kennesaw State-Jacksonville State, CUSA game of the year?

* Boise State-San Diego State, MWC game of the year?

* THE MAIN COURSE, presented by Modelo: Pitt hosts Notre Dame for the Panthers’ biggest home game in many years … unless you’re Pat Narduzzi, who does not seem to think the game is that important

And much more! Produced by Anthony Vito.
