About this listen

Week 9 is in the books, and as is the theme of the last couple of weeks, there are rumblings about a coaching change at another big name school. Nothing has happened yet, but the writing seems to be on the wall for LSU's Brian Kelly after #20 LSU lost at home to #3 Texas A&M 49-25. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what is going on in Baton Rouge and talk about when they think the move will be made. Then they talk about Mike Elko's Texas A&M team and the turnaround they've had in such a short time. The guys also discuss if #8 Ole Miss has clinched their spot in the College Football Playoff, #2 Indiana's dominant win over UCLA and #4 Alabama's continued struggles against unranked teams.

Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey chat about the strange situation that occurred before #22 Texas' 45-38 victory over Mississippi State. A report was put out that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is interested in pursuing NFL head coaching opportunities. This report was quickly shut down by Sarkisian's camp. The guys discuss what was so odd about this situation. Then they dive into Texas' victory, Arch Manning's concussion and next week's matchup with #10 Vanderbilt. They also dive into the tightly contested race for the Group of Five bid for the CFP. After Memphis took down #18 South Florida on Saturday, the guys discuss who looks to be the favorite to come out of the Group of Five. There is a lot of confidence in the American Conference.

Then, they look at the race of a different conference. The Big 12 conference to be specific. The guys break down this tightly contested race and chat about who they think could be standing atop of the Big 12 mountain top come the end of the regular season. Lastly, they preview Week 10's slate and the games that are already playoff elimination games.
