Podcast 10-30-18 (College Football Playoff, Michigan review and Penn State preview)

This week, the duo dissect what to make of the College Football Playoff picture ahead of Tuesday night’s rankings unveiling. Lorenz makes his stump speech for non-SEC teams, while Shaw disagrees, though both agree on which teams Michigan — should it continue its winning streak and capture the Big Ten — needs to root for henceforth. Then, they revisit the wild Big Ten West, making their latest predictions at who wins as well as a look at the conference overall. After that, Lorenz and Shaw refocus on Michigan, fielding questions from listeners. Included are topics on surprises this season for the Wolverines good and bad, position groups of concern for Michigan in the future, a look at the Wolverines’ offensive identity moving forward and more. Finally, they preview No. 5 Michigan’s matchup against No. 14 Penn State, discussing what the Nittany Lions bring to the table with so much attrition from last season, how Michigan can stop Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley and other thoughts on the game.
