The Wheel Route - 20.32 (WEEK 13 RECAP)
We emerge from our turkey-induced naps to bring you a two-man recap of Week 13, which while fairly chalky also had its share of fun moments; Vanderbilt continues the spinning of this year’s coaching carousel.

In addition to the games that were played this weekend we’ve got plenty of off-the-field topics to cover including Dabo Swinney Saying Stupid Things, taking the temperature of Justin Fuente’s seat in Blacksburg, and our annual Thanksgiving-week culinary discussion.
CFB Week 12 continues to see games postponed/canceled due to the ongoing pandemic - games picked = Indiana @ Ohio State, Cincinnati @ UCF, Wisconsin @ Northwestern, Oklahoma State @ Oklahoma, and Michigan @ Rutgers. Bachelorette talk also returns (53:20)!
Week 11 didn’t provide much in terms of drama or chaos on the field but we did get our first major coach firing of the year on Sunday night - join us as we recap the games that took place & mourn the loss of Big Bill Muschamp.
On the docket this week we’ve got a sparse board of games to look forward to in Week 11 as well as two Bachelorette episodes to review, including the season shift we’ve all been waiting for. CFB picks made = Miami @ Virginia Tech, Louisville @ UVA, Oregon @ Washington State, Wisconsin @ Michigan, and California @ Arizona State.
Time for a thorough breakdown of all the weekend’s biggest action with special focus paid to a the cocktail party in Jacksonville, our lead candidate for Game-of-the-Year in South Bend, and an absolutely hilarious series of events in Blacksburg.
2-man show this week with Jason on the DL due to work and no Bachelorette content due to our elections; games picked = BYU @ Boise State, Liberty @ Virginia Tech, Florida vs Georgia, Clemson @ Notre Dame, and Tennessee @ Arkansas.
We’re happy to report that our picks fared much better this weekend; interesting performances leading up to next week’s Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, the Big 12 no longer has an undefeated team, and more non-P5 schools are climbing into the Top-25.
Welcome to another hybrid episode, this time saving the Bachelorette fireworks for the 2nd half of the show (47:30). Games picked = UGA @ Kentucky, Memphis @ Cincinnati, UCF @ Houston, LSU @ Auburn, and Ohio State @ Penn State.
We’re back to discuss the B1G’s first weekend back, which went about as expected unless you were Penn State or Michigan State. Our picks saw mixed results, but we’ll be back later this week to right the ship as well as to talk more Bachelorette.
Join us to discuss the first round of dates and continued drama with Clare, as well as take a look ahead at our first week of CFB involving the B1G this year. Games picked = FSU @ Louisville, Oklahoma @ TCU, Iowa State @ Oklahoma State, Michigan @ Minnesota, and Cincinnati @ SMU.
Week 7 is in the books and while there wasn’t too much chaos, we did see some interesting results on the board that we take a closer look at. Our picks this week had mixed results but we’re eager to improve on that performance.
Welcome to the first of many hybrid Bachelorette/College Football episodes for this year, as we first review the first episode of Clare’s journey to find love then switch over to CFB content (39:00). Games picked = BYU @ Houston, Pitt @ Miami, UCF @ Memphis, Georgia @ Alabama, and Navy @ ECU.
The Bachelorette is back in action so it’s time once again to draft squads for Claire’s (and Tayshia’s?) upcoming journey. Can Emily or Jordan capture the crown for the first time, or will Logan pull off the 3-peat?
Week 6 was a tough one for our personal schools but overall gave us a very entertaining Saturday with high drama in the Big 12 and SEC; apologies to all listeners who faded our picks!
Week 6 provides several intriguing matchups particularly in the SEC and ACC with multiple ranked-vs-ranked games across the board. Games picked = Florida @ Texas A&M, Virginia Tech @ UNC, Texas vs Oklahoma, Tennessee @ Georgia, and Miami @ Clemson.
Time to discuss a weekend of games that was more entertaining than perhaps we expected. Can anyone in the ACC hang with Clemson? How much longer will Miss St results be over-analyzed? Will Oklahoma make a bowl game?
Not a terrific schedule for this weekend but we’ve still got a top-10 SEC matchup and some intriguing ACC matchups to discuss; bonus tangent to briefly pay respects to the best tweets of all time.
Week 3 gave us some upsets of top-10 teams, good results for the Hoos and the Gators, as well as a much better week of picks for the boys. Bonus weekend shenanigans discussion!
This week we’re sprinkling in a little golf and pork belly talk with our football content, which includes a brief review of Week 2, an ACC preview, & picking Kentucky at Auburn, Louisville @ Pittsburgh, Army at Cincinnati, FSU at Miami, and Tennessee at South Carolina.
