John Canzano is in talking about the CFP rankings and how much stock we should buy into the rankings. Canzano questions the committee on how they are coming up with the rankings and thinks that the committee is very careful with their wording. Later, Canzano previews the Oregon vs Iowa game and wonders if Iowa has a coaching advantage over Oregon. Oregon State head football coach Robb Akey joins the program to discuss the Beavers two-game win streak and if Oregon State can continue the winning ways against Sam Houston State. Akey discusses what the team has been working on since the win over Washington State. Akey talks about the locker room and what the players have to play for, even though they aren't in a conference and have no chance at a bowl game. Akey previews Sam Houston State and tells Canzano that even though they have zero wins on the season, he expects the Bearkats to be dangerous and maybe pull off some trick plays. The Des Moines Register's Tyler Tachman joins the program to discuss the Iowa Hawkeyes vs the Oregon Ducks game upcoming this Saturday. Tachman discusses the love that the Iowa Hawkeyes program has from all of its fans in Iowa. Tachman discusses the strengths of this year's Iowa team are. Tachman says that Iowa fans hold hope for a win over Oregon this weekend. Tachman discusses how consistent head coach Kirk Ferentz has been at Iowa, and how that has helped build the program. Former Washington State football coach Jim Walden joins the program to discuss Washington State's loss to Oregon State and what head coach Jimmy Rogers is up against as the head coach of Washington State. Walden discusses how difficult it is for a head coach to coach a team that isn't in a conference. Walden thinks that Washington State may have played their worst game of the season in the loss to Oregon State. Walden was also the coach of Iowa State, and tells Canzano the difficulty it is to play against Iowa, especially when you are playing on the road at Iowa City. Walden discusses why coaches would never want a long layoff when it comes to the CFP. The 5 at 5 and much more!
