In this episode, we preview an eventful slate of games, as Oklahoma looks to seal its playoff bid, USC aims to knock off Oregon, BYU hopes to make the Big 12 title game, and Louisville, SMU, Pitt and Georgia Tech are primed to be the ultimate agents of ACC chaos. Plus, we talk through James Franklin's move to Virginia Tech, Lane Kiffin's tour of LSU and Florida, and the latest batch of CFP rankings and projected brackets. And finally, a collection of awesome G6 games and an important Pat League Lightning Round.

MAILBAG TIME! It's been far too long since we answered questions from the Verballerhood, so we reached out to our community on Verballers.com and picked out some of our favorites. Would you take Ohio State or The Field in a hypothetical CFP bet? Which Group of Six team has the best chance of pulling a massive first round upset in the playoff? Which conference is actually the best? Which team's coaching opening is the biggest domino? Does being a "blue blood" program matter anymore? Could Utah still make the CFP and win a game? Plus, a look at the upcoming Week 13 slate, the ramifications of Week 14, and a quick chat about the latest Verballer Top 12.

Oklahoma knocked off Alabama in Tuscaloosa, giving the Sooners a signature SEC win and putting them in prime position to qualify for the College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, Georgia and Notre Dame padded their CFP cases with dominant wins, while both Texas A&M and Georgia Tech needed second half heroics to survive against conference foes. Plus, Virginia make quick work of Duke and helped clarify the ACC title chase, while the race for the coveted G6 playoff spot got significantly more interesting.

Week 12 is already here... try to keep up! On this episode, we react to the second batch of College Football Playoff rankings and an official "projected bracket" that includes Miami, leaves out Oklahoma and BYU, and teases the possibility of the first-ever Solid Verbowl. Then, we work our way through a loaded Week 12 slate, starting with lingering thoughts on Notre Dame vs. Pitt and Texas vs. Georgia and diving deep on Alabama's home test against Oklahoma, Iowa's trip to USC and an important ACC showdown between Virginia and Duke.

Welp, we ran long... but we had a lot to unpack! In this episode, a quick look back at some of the storylines from Week 11 (and beyond) that deserve a little more attention, including Nebraska's "professional" win over UCLA, Bear Bachmeier's measurables, Delaware's quiet season, the weirdness of Kentucky and Duke football, and something we're calling the Pitt Measuring Stick. Then, we pose six big questions for each other, taking a look at our favorite team outside the top four, the best landing spot for James Franklin, how to fix bad refs, the most and least trustworthy QBs, the best remaining game, and more. And finally, we close out with an extended look at Notre Dame's trip to Pitt and a revenge spot for Texas on the road against Georgia.

College Football Week 11 was a story of survival, domination, and conference shakeups.

Plus, we take a look at impressive showings by Georgia and Texas A&M, Alabama's lumpy win over LSU, Vandy's overtime shootout with Auburn, and the sudden rise of Zombie Kentucky.

Eat your broccoli and get ready for a loaded Week 11 slate, featuring top five teams on the road, sandwich games, interim coaches and plenty of potential chaos. On today's college football podcast episode, we deep dive the games we didn't discuss on Tuesday and break down a defanged Indiana vs Penn State matchup, a classic letdown-lookahead spot for Georgia, a road test for Texas A&M, and potential for the "After Brian Factor" to have an impact on LSU vs Alabama.

Our weird Sunday tradition of firing coaches midseason continued as Hugh Freeze was relieved of command by Auburn, adding another school to the growing list of Power Four job openings. In this episode, we discuss where the Freeze regime went astray and who might be next for the Tigers. Plus, we talk through major breaking injury news, as Dylan Raiola is done for the year after suffering a broken fibula against USC. In addition, it looks like Florida's Dallas Wilson, Louisville's Isaac Brown and Michigan's Justice Haynes are also set to miss significant time, if not the rest of the season. We also talk through the latest Verballer Top 12 and translate the results into an updated CFP Bracket as the initial committee rankings are set to be unveiled on Tuesday night. How close will our Verballer bracket be to reality? And to close things out, a deep dive into two of Week 11's biggest games, as BYU travels to Lubbock for a top ten showdown with Texas Tech and Oregon heads to Iowa City for a matchup with Iowa.

What a chaotic week in college football — and not just on the field. Between the YouTube TV–Disney dispute and a string of bizarre finishes, fans everywhere were forced to get creative to follow along. From Miami’s playoff hopes going up in smoke against SMU to Georgia Tech's road loss against NC State and Duke's shootout win over Clemson we had drama, penalties, and questionable officiating in equal measure. Plus, Georgia barely escaped Florida, Texas nearly coughed one up to Vandy, and Oklahoma won in Knoxville over Tennessee.Elsewhere, Texas Tech exploded in the second half against Kansas State, West Virginia capitalized on Houston’s fumble-fest, and Ohio State torched Penn State behind a nearly flawless Julian Sayin. Add in Indiana murdering Maryland, USC surviving Nebraska, and a bunch of quietly telling results across the Power Four, and it’s safe to say that College Football Week 10 lived up to the hype. We break it all down, plus play your Reverbs and close it out with the Dudes of the week.

We're on the verge of November and college football is absolutely humming. Week 10 brings us a slate loaded with meaty point spreads, flawed contenders, and opportunities for chaos. We dive into every major matchup, starting with the uncertainty surrounding Arch Manning's status for Texas-Vanderbilt. We debate whether Kansas State is back on track in time for a showdown with Texas Tech, if Oklahoma's offense can score 30 points, whether USC can finally win as a road favorite, and if Cincinnati is good enough to break down Utah's defense. Plus, we discuss Miami's trip to SMU, wonder how Florida's offense might look with a new playcaller, chortle with excitement over Navy vs North Texas, and marvel at the fact that both Penn State-Ohio State and Arizona State-Iowa State are weird afterthoughts entering November.

Dan is back from his travels and there is much to discuss! On this college football podcast episode, we react to the news of Brian Kelly's dismissal at LSU, what led to his unceremonious removal and what might happen next for the Tigers. Plus, we circle back to some of the biggest stories from Week 9 and wonder which teams are in their fully evolved state as we enter the final month of the college football season. And finally, we reveal the results of the latest Verballer Top 12 poll, talk through wild conference tiebreaker scenarios, and translate it all into a projected CFP Bracket.

Dan's at a fall wedding, so Ty flies solo to walk you through the most important storylines from Week 9. And what a Saturday it was—dubbed "Seatbelt Saturday" for good reason, with turbulence starting at 10:05 AM courtesy of Steve Sarkisian's reported NFL interest! Could it be real? Who knows, but the coaching carousel never stops spinning, apparently. But the biggest story of Week 9? Texas AM absolutely throttling LSU in what might be one of the most impressive performances we've seen all season, as Brian Kelly's seat is suddenly scalding hot. Also in SEC action: Ole Miss's strong defensive showing against Oklahoma, Alabama's near-miss against South Carolina, Vandy's rock fight with Mizzou, and more. Plus, a look at BYU's statement win at Iowa State, the potential for a spicy November for Cincinnati, and how Houston threw the Big 12 into even more chaos. And a quick run through the Big Ten, as Washington poured on the offense and beat Illinois, Iowa dismantled Minnesota. Last but not least, Memphis won a wild one with USF to make the American all the more intruiging.

College Football Week 9 comes with a warning label: Turbulence could be ahead for multiple teams facing brutal back-to-back road trips. In this episode, we dive deep into the Mizzou-Vandy showdown in Nashville, with the world buying into the 'Dores hype. We also tackle Alabama's trip to South Carolina, Illinois-Washington's fascinating Big Ten clash, the Kansas State-Kansas rivalry game, and whether Michigan State can finally show up against their in-state rival.

The coaching carousel is spinning a little faster after the news that Florida pulled the plug on the Billy Napier era. In this college football podcast episode, we take a look at some of the early candidates for the job and glance around college football for which openings might pop up next. We also harness our inner Gen Z and debate which college football relationships we're hard- and soft-launching after eight weeks of the regular season. Plus, we reveal the latest Verballer Top 12 poll and react to the ordering in the new AP Top 25. Which current team in the top 12 will get bounced by season's end? And finally, we take an advanced look at three of the biggest games in Week 9, as Ole Miss travels to Oklahoma, Iowa State is a home favorite against undefeated BYU and LSU hosts Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.

We're still trying to process what just happened in Week 8 of college football. Over half the AP Top 25 was in serious peril, with nine ranked teams falling and four others barely escaping disaster. This wasn't just chaos – it was relentless, unforgiving madness from Tuesday through Saturday night. We dive deep into the most significant results of the weekend, starting with Louisville's stunning upset of Miami on Friday night. Then there's Arizona State's win over Texas Tech, Vandy's home triumph over LSU, and a pair of impressive victories by Alabama and Georgia. Plus, Notre Dame ran over USC, Georgia Tech logged a workmanlike win over Duke and BYU won its third straight Holy War over Utah.

Plus, we unpack significance of Georgia Tech vs Duke as an ACC title tiebreaker, the road danger for Oklahoma and LSU -- two SEC teams that cannot run the ball -- traveling to South Carolina and Vandy, the underrated aspects of Texas Tech's quick rise, and the debate over whether Auburn can finally get a big win.

So, yeah, there's a lot going on. In this college football podcast episode, we react to the news that Penn State fired James Franklin after a 3-3 start—a move that seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago. We dive into what went wrong, why Pat Kraft pulled the trigger now, and who's next for the Nittany Lions. Beyond the Franklin fallout, we reveal the latest Verballer Top 12 poll results and dissect the AP Poll's biggest movers. Then we turn our attention to Week 8's marquee matchups: Ole Miss at Georgia in a massive SEC showdown, Tennessee traveling to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama, and the always-entertaining USC-Notre Dame rivalry game under the lights. We're making picks, breaking down matchups, and yes, irresponsibly picking upsets. We also touch on other coaching moves (RIP Trent Dilfer and Trent Bray), debate Illinois' playoff chances, talk through our Fan Commenter Power Ratings, and introduce a potential new "Haters Tier."

What an absolute rollercoaster of a Week 7. In this college football podcast, we do our best to make sense of it all. Indiana just went into Autzen Stadium and beat Oregon 30-20, holding the Ducks to 267 yards and looking like the more physical team in the trenches. We break down how Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers pulled off a statement win that has us reconsidering everything we thought we knew about both programs. Meanwhile, Penn State's season completely unraveled with a stunning 22-21 loss to Northwestern at home—their second consecutive loss as 20+ point favorites. We discuss James Franklin's future, Drew Allar's season-ending injury, and whether this program is heading for a complete reset. Beyond that, we cover Alabama's gritty road win at Missouri and Kalen DeBoer's lucky hoodie, Texas taking care of business in the Red River Rivalry, Ohio State's dominant performance over Illinois, and USC bullying Michigan. We also dive into Texas A&M's impressive 34-17 win over Florida that has the Aggies looking like legitimate SEC contenders, Pitt's road upset of Florida State, matching 20-10 wins for both Georgia and LSU, and all the other carnage from an action-packed Week 7 of college football.

College Football Week 7 is upon us, and we're diving deep into what might be the steeliest slate of the season. This isn't about flashy plays or explosive offenses—this week belongs to the teams willing to do the dirty work in the trenches. After walking back through some extra thoughts on Alabama-Mizzou, Ohio State-Illinois and Indiana-Oregon, we get down to business. In this episode, we break down every major matchup and the debates get heated as we disagree on nearly every pick, including whether Oklahoma can shock Texas, if Auburn can pull the upset in Jordan-Hare, and which team controls the trenches in Michigan vs USC. Plus, we preview BYU-Arizona, Iowa State-Colorado, and a loaded slate of under-the-radar games that could shape the playoff picture. Plus, as a special treat, ESPN's Chris Fowler joins us to discuss the season's biggest surprises, why he misses calling games out West, and more. We also get his take on the unpredictability of this college football season and what makes a great broadcast moment.

In this episode, we dive deep into three massive games: Ohio State's travels to Illinois, Alabama faces a rested Mizzou team, and Indiana takes on Oregon in a top-10 showdown with College GameDay in town. But before the picks, we walk back through our leftover thoughts from an eventful Week 6, reveal the latest Verballer Top 12, react to the latest AP Poll, make a case for Michigan as a sneaky Big Ten contender, talk through some way-too-early tiebreaker scenarios in the ACC and Big 12, and more!
