The Committee: Big 12 Playoff Hopes, UCLA’s Resurgence & a Massive Week 7

Can the Big 12 get multiple teams into the College Football Playoff? And is UCLA’s remarkable resurgence for real? Trent Condon and Emery Songer break down the biggest storylines in college football ahead of a massive Week 7. Pete Mundo of Heartland College Sports joins the show to discuss the Big 12’s playoff hopes, BYU’s pivotal matchup with Notre Dame, Texas Tech’s early-season concerns, and the conference’s growing separation between its top teams and the rest of the league. Then, Zachary Anderson-Yoxsimer of Locked On Bruins joins the program to break down UCLA’s surprising start, the impact of Nico Iamaleava’s injury, and whether the Bruins can sustain their momentum in the Big Ten. Plus, the guys debate the College Football Playoff outlook for the Big Ten, evaluate Iowa’s path forward, and preview some of Week 7’s biggest games, including Alabama-Tennessee, Missouri-Auburn, Oklahoma State-Houston, BYU-Notre Dame, and Nebraska-Oregon.
