Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin react to the LOADED college football Week 4 slate. The guys begin with Crops' MASSIVE win at Michigan that has clear College GameDay implications. How Iowa pulled off the walk-off win as Hank Brown tossed the game-winning score. Then onto Knoxville where Texas got it done in a place that is difficult to do so. SVP also adds his thoughts on Colin Simmons' controversial and penalized celebration. LSU and Georgia picked up blowout SEC wins but Oklahoma and Texas A&M... yikes. Florida delivered in The Swamp taking down fourth-ranked Ole Miss in a game that showed what the Jon Sumrall Gators are all about. And how about Wisconsin! The Badgers went into Happy Valley and pulled off the upset that the Badger program desperately needed. Oregon went on the road and defeated USC by two touchdowns in an emotional one that saw Dante Moore get knocked out of the game by Desman Stephens II, who celebrated after the fact. SVP and Steve share their thoughts on Stephens' antics... Plus, Jake Dickert and Wake Forest proved Steve right with a big upset win at Louisville, Super Kamario Taylor kept his great season going as Mississippi State takes down Missouri, Alabama dominated South Carolina behind Keelon Russell, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State breezed past Illinois, Boise State and Cincinnati got good wins, Oklahoma State flexed its muscle late at West Virginia en route to a big win and Notre Dame and Miami continued to roll. Finally, SVP shares his thoughts on Maryland's 51-point loss to UCLA and Steve gave a full rundown of the Knoxville experience and how the College GameDay crew beautifully navigated and incredibly difficult day.
