College football’s changes, from Michigan to Ohio State to Auburn to USC; plus Zombie Shehan and the playoff committee: College Football Survivor Show

Listen to The College Football Survivor Show with Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL, USAC -- Two episodes of The College Football Survivor Show have Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah diving right into the thick of everything happening in college football.

On the show available wherever you find podcasts, Shehan is having flashbacks to 2014 when his soul was sucked from his body by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, and Doug is having so much trouble with committee thinking, he’s talking like British royalty.

It’s not great. But Shehan and Doug examine the playoff stakes for No. 3 TCU, No. 4 USC and No. 5 Ohio State this weekend. Then they talk about conference title games and what purpose they serve now and in the 12-team playoff world.

On the bonus episode for Apple Podcast subscribers, Doug and Shehan look at the changes in college football after looking at the shifting balance of power in the SEC a few weeks ago.

First, Michigan’s win over Ohio State -- have the Wolverines passed the Buckeyes, and which team is more prepared for national battles? Is Michigan a version of rising Georgia and Ohio State a version of slightly fading Alabama? Plus, Shehan digs in on his guy J.J. McCarthy.

In the second segment, the discussion turns to what USC is doing to the Pac-12, and whether Clemson has officially fallen back to the pack in the ACC. Is Florida State on Clemson’s heels there? And is Utah a Pac-12 version of Michigan that could still foil the Trojans?

Finally, it’s a look at three major coaching hires: Hugh Freeze at Auburn, Luke Fickell at Wisconsin and Matt Rhule Nebraska. Were they the right guys for those jobs?
