Dan Wetzel, Pete Thamel and Pat Forde begin in Tennessee where the second-year head coach, Jeremy Pruitt, showed again that he isn't ready for the SEC as an early morning call involving one of his players and a police officer didn't show the Vols' head man in the best light. (3:50)

The guys then dive head-first into the huge slate of Week 7 games. In Dallas, Oklahoma is set to take on Texas in the annual Red River SHOOTOUT. Is the Texas State Fair the drunkest atmosphere that doesn't involve LSU fans? (14:35) Pat, Pete and Dan also debate which wacky deep-fried foods they will guzzle when they step foot on the fairgrounds. (22:11)

Speaking of LSU, the Tigers host the seventh-ranked Florida Gators in the highest-ranked matchup of the weekend. Who will prevail in the heavyweight battle between the LSU offense and the UF defense? (30:43)

The guys also give you the in-depth analysis you didn't know you ever needed on the Fat Bear Week Bracket (35:56) before they throw out their picks against the spread. (40:15)
