Colin is joined by Josh Pate, ESPN college football analyst and host of Josh Pate’s College Football Show.

They start by discussing why college football doesn’t start with marquee games on Week 1, and Josh argues that schools and even conferences shouldn’t handle the scheduling (4:30). They argue that Lane Kiffin deserves tremendous credit despite not winning the big games (8:30).

They preview USC vs. Oregon (11:30), and discuss the top quarterback prospects and both agree they aren’t convinced that Arch Manning deserves to be in that category (16:30).

They review Josh’s latest power rankings and why Josh still has Ohio State ranked #1 (27:00), and where Oklahoma stacks up in the SEC (31:00). Finally, they dig into the decline of Colorado under Deion Sanders and why it didn’t bother them that Deion declared he’s going to cut some players midseason (35:00).
