Dan Wetzel's Week 3 College Football Podcast: What will be Big Ten's fate?

Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated joins this week’s Dan Wetzel College Football Podcast. Andy is a return guest and writes the weekly column “Punt, Pass and Pork,” which deals with college football and barbeque.

This week’s topics include, but are not limited to:

• The implosion of the Big Ten and how the league can get itself out of this malaise.

[Also: Listen to all of Dan Wetzel's podcasts here]

• Whether Michigan State can climb back into playoff contention and why, if they are a suitable choice, it’s important for the future of college football that they aren’t significantly punished for losing at Oregon.

• Is Brady Hoke doomed at Michigan?

• How good is BYU and can it really contend for a playoff spot with its schedule?

• Why there are so few good games this weekend when every college administrator and television executive is so quick to talk about their individual and collective marketing genius.

• Georgia at South Carolina is the best game of the weekend on paper. Are the Bulldogs so good they can roll through a place that’s become a house of horrors for them?

• Did USC AD Pat Haden really do anything that wrong?

There’s more, including game selections involving Tennessee-Oklahoma, Iowa State-Iowa, UCLA-Texas and others.
