COLLEGE FOOTBALL, USA -- Two weeks into the college football season, two of the four teams that have dominated the college football playoff have a loss: Clemson and Ohio State. That makes for an interesting College Football Playoff Show.

On this episode, Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah welcome Tyler Kluver, a former long snapper for the Iowa Hawkeyes, to discuss Iowa, one of the intriguing new teams in the playoff mix after a hot start to the season with wins over Indiana and Iowa State. Tyler is a co-host of the Washed Up Walkons podcast about the Hawkeyes and helped us understand what Iowa needs to do to stay a playoff contender.

Iowa was already in the contender mix, though. Two new teams were voted in this week from the group of Florida, Penn State, Oregon and Ole Miss, while one team was booted out from the group of Iowa State, Ohio State, Texas A&M and Notre Dame.

Also on this show:

  • A very interesting stretch for Alabama over the next month with games against Florida, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Should the Tide be on upset alert?
  • The wild Texas A&M 10-7 win over Colorado last week. Can the Aggies hang around while playing their backup QB with starter Haynes King out?
  • The regular debate of whether Alabama or Georgia should be No. 1, with Doug and Shehan continuing to disagree.
  • A discussion about how much belief there should be in the Penn State Nittany Lions ahead of their game with Auburn this weekend.
  • How Oregon changed the tone for the Pac-12 with its big win at Ohio State last week.
