It’s Week 11 of the college football season … and nothing makes sense.

Sure, MACtion is back, and we’re as excited about it as ever. And yes, the Big 12 looks like it’s definitely going to enjoy a potential buffet this weekend.

So why, then, is Carla wearing a “Yay Feetball” sweatshirt during the week when she hates college football? What was Penn State’s fourth-quarter goal-line play calling all about? What happened to Clemson? And Texas A&M? And Pitt? And Wisconsin?

Well, friends, we don’t have answers for everything. But we can provide some hope.

And that is, in the midst of all the chaos, the Carla and Crappy Show has finally made the big time. Carla will be the “celebrity” guest picker on Blue Raider Extra Point this weekend, live from the Grove on MTSU’s campus in Murfreesboro prior to the Liberty game. (Right now, the stream is scheduled to begin at 9 ET Saturday morning and will be available on the True Blue TV app on your streaming device or the MTN Sports YouTube channel. We’ll update as we get more details.)

To celebrate, we break down the entirety of the CUSA slate (so that Carla has good notes to take with her), which includes Kennesaw State at UTEP (4 ET, ESPN+), Jacksonville State at Louisiana Tech (4:30 ET, CBSSN), Western Kentucky at New Mexico State (6 ET, ESPN+), and of course, Liberty at MTSU (1 ET, CBSSN).

But also? We now have Carla and Crappy Show merch. Carla needed something branded to wear on the show, which AJ was all about creating. This means that, yes, friends, very soon, you too will have the ability to have your very own Yay Feetball shirt (once we figure out how to get the shop set up). Stay tuned to carlacrappyshow.com (which is also a thing that works now!) for more details.

And then, oh yeah, right, we still have games to discuss. A lot of games.

After we break down the initial College Football Playoff rankings (because those, ahem, also happened on Tuesday), AJ gives us a slightly abbreviated #GroupOfFiveAfterDark report, which still includes some dandies: Arkansas State at Louisiana (5 ET, ESPN+), No. 25 Army at North Texas (3:30 ET, ESPN2), and UNLV at Hawaii (9 ET, CBSSN) to name a few.

The big boy slate is pretty stellar as well:

No. 3 Georgia at No. 16 Ole Miss (3:30 ET, ABC): No consensus here. This game is loaded with mystery and huge conference implications.

Michigan at No. 8 Indiana (3:30 ET, CBS): Ten Win-diana? Yeppers. And at least one of us thinks it will be a statement win, too.

South Carolina at Vanderbilt (4:15 ET, SECN): Uh oh. The Gamecocks letdown game is in Nashville. Diego, are you ready? (We think it’s possible.)

No. 11 Alabama at No. 15 LSU (7:30 ET, ABC): With Saban no longer on the sideline, can Bama keep its Bedlam-esque streak alive? In Death Valley? Or do we see a purple Brian Kelly?

Washington at No. 6 Penn State (8 ET, Peacock): The forecast calls for a whiteout in Happy Valley. Welcome to the Big Ten, Huskies? We’ll see.

We wrap things up with a quick edition of How Will the Big 12 Eat Itself This Week? (still not trademarked), which features some prime buffet options, including No. 20 Colorado at Texas Tech (4 ET, FOX) and No. 9 BYU at Utah (10:15 ET, ESPN). Also, Crappy has his eye on Purdue at No. 2 Ohio State (Big Nude, FOX), and AJ and Carla are extremely vested in Robert Morris at Duquesne (Noon ET, radio only).

So, there you have it. Nothing makes sense. But we’re hoping we can provide you a bit of levity and hope in the chaos, both in college football and … well, you know. Enjoy the games this weekend, watch Carla on Saturday morning, and we’ll see you back here next week. Cheers, yinz.

It’s Week 10 of the college football season and friends? For what we believe to be the first time in the 13-year history of The Carla and Crappy Show, there are no games that kick off after 8 p.m. ET Saturday. Yes, really.

No, AJ is not OK.

But when we reflect on last weekend’s action, AJ starts us off on a good note, as his week was bookended by two spectacular wins by Kennesaw State (on Tuesday) and Hawaii (technically on Sunday). Carla actually stayed awake for most of Boise at UNLV and was thoroughly impressed by Oregon. (Quack.) Crappy noted big wins by both Ohio and Carnegie Mellon.

Then, even without proper After Dark games, AJ walks us through his #GroupOfFiveAfterDark report, featuring Georgia State at UConn (7 ET Friday, CBSSN), Toledo at Eastern Michigan (Noon ET, ESPNU), MTSU at UTEP (3:30 ET, CBSSN), Georgia Southern at South Alabama (7:30 ET, ESPNU), and Colorado State at Nevada (8 ET, CBSSN). And in this week’s edition of How Will the Big 12 Eat Itself This Week? (not yet trademarked), we’re all super intrigued by Texas Tech at No. 11 Iowa State (3:30 ET, ESPN).

After that, we get to the Big Boy games. And we start with a doozy.

No. 4 Ohio State at No. 3 Penn State (Big Nude, FOX): Carla’s feeling better about her Nits entering this game than she has in recent memory. But Crappy’s Bucks have won 11 of the last 12 meetings between these two. One of these teams is going to escape with a win. And one of us is going to hate college football next week.

No. 19 Ole Miss at Arkansas (Noon ET, ESPN): All the stats say Ole Miss wins. So why do we think Wooo Pig might actually pull this off?

Air Force at No. 21 Army (Noon ET, CBS): Army is still nationally ranked, and we respect the troops. (Army wins this game easily.)

Minnesota at No. 24 Illinois (Noon ET, FS1): Bert’s bunch got throttled by Oregon last week. (Quack.) Can the Gophers row the boat in Chambagna?

Florida vs. No. 2 Georgia in Jacksonville (3:30 ET, ABC): The Dawgs looked every bit a national title contender in Austin. Which version of Georgia shows up for the Definitely Not a Cocktail Party?

No. 13 Indiana at Michigan State (3:30 ET, Peacock): Dig out your streaming password. They’re going to do it. We’re going to get Nine Win-diana.

No. 10 Texas A&M at South Carolina (7:30 ET, ABC): Is this really a trap game for the Aggies? We’re not sure we’re buying that argument.

No. 18 Pitt at No. 20 SMU (8 ET, ACCN): This game has major ACC title game implications. Yes, that’s also a real thing. And we don’t reach a consensus on the outcome.

And yes, there’s one final game that we absolutely must discuss.

Vanderbilt at Auburn (12:45 ET, SECN): Diego Pavia? It’s time. Darkness versus light. Goodness over evil. Go do the dang thing and send the Dores bowling. Do it.

While AJ desperately scours the DIII schedule in search of a true After Dark game (he does actually find two of them!), Carla notes two other games of interest: Louisville at No. 11 Clemson (7:30 ET, ESPN) and USC at Washington (7:30 ET, BTN). And Crappy closes things out with a public service announcement from all of us: Go vote.

Enjoy the football this weekend, boys and girls. And much to AJ’s chagrin, enjoy that extra sleep on Saturday night. Cheers.

It’s Week 9 of the college football season, and boy, was last weekend a lot of fun.

North Texas at Memphis was the fireworks factory that we expected. Georgia went full beast mode and dominated in Austin. And even the home radio announcers were incredulous about Indiana’s throttling of Nebraska.

Also, we now live in a world where Indiana and Vanderbilt are ranked, and The Team Up North isn’t. Everything is weird in 2024.

And now this week? We have some discomfort ahead, especially if you are fans of certain programs. Ahem.

AJ gets us started with his #GroupOfFiveAfterDark report, including our new favorite segment, How Will the Big 12 Eat Itself This Week? (Should we trademark that? We probably should.) Notable games include No. 17 Boise State at UNLV (10:30 ET Friday, CBSSN), Tulane at North Texas (Noon ET, ESPNU), and No. 11 BYU at UCF (3:30 ET, ESPN). Also, we regret to inform you that there is in fact a true Hawaii test this weekend, which means, yes, you will need to caffeinate both Friday and Saturday nights. Just be ready for that.

And then, on to a loaded slate of notable games:

No. 12 Notre Dame vs. No. 24 Navy at MetLife Stadium (Noon ET, ABC): Can the Middies knock off the Irish? Maybe? (We hope so.)

Washington at No. 13 Indiana (Noon ET, BTN): This game’s on the Big Ten Network because no one in their right mind would have predicted this game to be so big … or that the Hoosiers would be the ranked team in this matchup. Do we get to Eight Win-diana?

No. 20 Illinois at No. 1 Oregon (3:30 ET, CBS): The Ducks handled business in West Lafayette, and now Bert and crew are coming to town.

No. 21 Missouri at No. 15 Alabama (3:30 ET, ABC): Is this Bama’s get-right game? Or maybe a better question, is Bama going to have a get-right game this season? And will Brady Cook play for Mizzou?

No. 5 Texas at No. 25 Vanderbilt (4:15 ET, SECN): Yes, friends, Vandy is one win away from bowl eligibility. One thing we know for sure? There will be many cowboy boots on Nashville’s West End on Saturday afternoon.

No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M (7:30 ET, ABC): The Tigers just keep finding ways to win football games. The Aggies have been scary at home. No consensus on this one.

No. 3 Penn State at Wisconsin (7:30 ET, NBC): Guess what? The Badgers are officially annoying again, just in time for the Nittany Lions to come to Madison. Can Wisconsin catch PSU looking ahead? (Carla certainly hopes not.)

Outside of that (if that’s not enough for you), AJ’s keeping an eye on North Carolina at Virginia (Noon ET, CW) and Florida State at No. 6 Miami (7 ET, ESPN), because what if this is the weekend that Miami FOs? (If you don’t get that reference, listen to our Week 8 episode.) Carla’s got her eye on a true Big Ten After Dark situation as Rutgers heads to USC (11 ET Friday, FOX). And, of course, Crappy’s got Nebraska at No. 4 Ohio State (Big Nude, FOX) and Buffalo at Ohio (Noon ET, CBSSN).

It’s going to be another great (albeit uncomfortable!) weekend of college football. But next weekend? Hoo boy. Buckle up. You’re not going to want to miss next week’s show. Cheers, friends.
