Power Auer: Is Michigan signal stealing like Spygate? CFP rankings preview & Penn State in purgatory

Until Saturday: A show about college football - A podcast by The Athletic

Nicole and Chris make an in-depth inspection of the Michigan in-person scouting controversy to kick off the Power 5 (2:00). Can we determine yet how much Connor Stalions' actions impacted UM? Is this situation similar to the Patriots' 'Spygate' scandal? The duo also discuss helmet comms coming to the sport, Dan Enos out at Arkansas, and they preview the CFP rankings ahead of next week's first reveal (6:00). Will Penn State always be stuck in a state of good but not great? An inquisitive fan asks that, and others ask more, in the Open Bar segment (16:00). Cheers to Alabama (30:15)! Chris is on the rocks with Pat McAfee. And what could the fallout of the Wolverines' scandal (37:00)? Lastly, mouse traps in locker rooms that are used as motivation - peak college football (48:15).
