Kirk Herbstreit names top-performing teams in Week 8 of college football
Kirk Herbstreit’s name has not been far from mind for Oregon Duck fans so far this year.
Earlier in the year, Herbstreit went against Oregon by picking the Arizona Wildcats against the spread in that matchup. This past week, Herbstreit was on campus in Eugene with the “College GameDay” crew, and he might have made a few more enemies after being the only member of the show to pick UCLA to win the game.
After all of that, it appears that Herbstreit might be trying to right some early wrongs based on who he included among his top-ranked teams in Week 8 of college football. Take a look:
