There was a lot to unpack after the wildest weekend of the college football season.

MIchigan and TCU were two of the biggest winners of the weekend. How do these two unbeatens look heading into the second half?
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg address all these storylines and look ahead to the biggest matchups in Week 8 during the latest version of College Football Fix, the USA TODAY Sports weekly podcast that releases every Tuesday during the season.
