Greg McElroy breaks down his TOP 10 takeaways from Week 9 of the college football season. Starting with Texas A&M’s dominant win over LSU in Baton Rouge, Greg acknowledges that THIS is the moment the Aggies have officially arrived. Alabama and Vanderbilt continued to show they can win in a variety of ways, with Bama showing great competitive character on the road. Ole Miss did so as well, and Greg has the Rebels as borderline playoff locks. Indiana and Oregon seem that way, too, but there is a clear gap between those teams. Finally, Greg explains why Texas isn’t dead yet, how it could be a WILD finish for the ACC, goes through the Big 12 and Heisman races and takes a look at YOUR bold predictions. | Always College Football Approximate Timecodes: (0:00) Intros (2:26) Texas A&M has ARRIVED (10:31) Alabama weathered the Sandstorm (16:04) Ole Miss is going to the CFP (22:00) Vandy is a legit title contender (26:51) The gap between IU and Oregon is growing (32:37) Texas isn’t dead yet (36:55) It’ll be a WILD finish in the ACC (42:54) Big 12 race is WIDE OPEN (48:21) G5 CFP race was sent into tailspin (52:01) Heisman update (56:44) Looking at YOUR bold predictions (58:39) Thanks for watching Learn more about your ad choices.

SVP and Stanford Steve are back with a LIVE recap of the CFB Week 9 slate. Starting with Texas A&M’s DOMINANT win over LSU in Baton Rouge… exactly how good are the Aggies? And what to make of LSU’s disappointing season. The second most impressive win of the day came in Norman as Ole Miss took down Oklahoma, changing the narrative around the Rebels’ program. Texas survived Starkville, but SVP can’t get over how unconvincing the Horns continue to look. And what a brutal, brutal stretch for Miss State. Changing gears to the Big Ten, Indiana continues to roll, Michigan continues to trend up and, hey, rank Washington. The Big 12 is wide open but the guys have a team they’re keeping a close eye on. And then in the ACC, who knows. The guys break down all that and more, with a special debut for Scott: Manager of Lighting & Pet Supplies. | SVPod Approximate Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (5:40) Texas A&M-LSU recap (15:01) Vandy-Mizzou recap & Nashville experience (23:28) Indiana keeps dominating (26:52) Hypothetical IU-Ohio State line (28:39) Oregon eases past Wisconsin (30:17) Ole Miss changed the narrative with win over OU (39:13) BYU passes test in Ames - and it was wild (47:55) Cincinnati is playing at a HIGH level (49:21) Alabama survives the Cockpit (57:15) Texas pulls off comeback at Mississippi State (1:00:00) More brutal run for Texas or MSU?
