What happened in Week 12? Find out here as we struggle to remember most of it. More importantly, week 13 is upon us.

Week 10 was like the extra side of fries we didn't order. We're happy to get them, we sure enjoy them, but we shouldn't get used to things like that happening all the time. Mark and Jason both try to maintain some semblance of professionalism and not get too giddy about Iowa's complete domination of a certain Ohio team - pardon me, a certain THE Ohio team. Also, if you want to know how Michigan State keeps winning, Jason has some provocative insights that will make you go "Hmm...

Week 9 happened and threw some more wrenches into the cogs of this season. Or maybe cogs were thrown into the wrenches. Something was thrown somewhere and now is Penn State who we thought they were? Is TCU? Is Iowa State the prohibitive favorite to win it all? Mark and Jason discuss that Georgia should only be ranked above Alabama in median income, education, life expectancy, and areas like that... not college football.

We process the sheer mayhem wrought by Week 7 of the college football season. You thought giants were slain last week? Well, this week a team riding high atop their immortal steed named "National Championship" was felled by a team whose mascot is a ****ing orange. Nothing makes sense anymore. Does anyone even read this? Who am I? What world is this? Is this a joke? Is Ashton Kutcher in the bushes?

In the morning we @ProcessingCFB tweeted out "To those who might be sad re: the lack of top tier matchups this weekend, it's comforting to remember how bad the matchups were 4 weeks ago." But really no one needed to feel bad about the lack of excitement because there wasn't any. I suppose fans of Tennessee, LSU, Louisville, Kansas State and a number of others can feel bad. But if you are a fan of college football excitement, this week had it. Join us as we talk about the chaos. Plus we have a special listener guest this week!
