The Solid Verbal - College Football Podcast: Recent Episodes
College Football, Ty Hildenbrandt, Dan Rubenstein
America’s College Football Podcast since 2008. Ty Hildenbrandt and Dan Rubenstein help you navigate the college football season with weekly recaps every Monday, previews every Wednesday, and everything else you need to know on Fridays. Listen along with thousands of Verballers around the globe, as Ty and Dan put their unique spin and sound on college football.
In this college football podcast episode, we continue our three-part 2026 SEC preview with deep dives on Georgia, Vanderbilt, Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida. Georgia enters the season with perhaps the cleanest case of any contender in the conference, while Texas has all the talent to make a run at the SEC title but also enough lingering questions, plus a brutal schedule, to make us hesitate. How much separates the league’s best teams, and which concerns are worth taking seriously?
We also dig into the growing Oklahoma hype and whether even marginal offensive improvement could make the Sooners significantly more dangerous, the latest attempt to build a functional offense around LaNorris Sellers at South Carolina, and a new era at Kentucky with Will Stein taking over for Mark Stoops. Vanderbilt begins life after Diego Pavia, while Tennessee forces us to reconsider whether we’ve been overlooking a roster that may be much closer to contention than we initially thought.
And then there’s Florida. Ty goes all in on Jon Sumrall, a loaded Gators defense and a roster he believes is capable of making real noise in the SEC. Plus: Gunner Stockton’s continued toughness, buff John Mateer, Forrest Gump back in the SEC, Dan's Tennessee marriage, Simone Biles playing linebacker, and Jon Sumrall’s potential for postgame hijinks.

In this episode, we kick off our three-part 2026 SEC preview by zooming out on a conference entering the season with plenty to prove. The SEC hasn't won the national championship in three years, six programs have new head coaches, and the league's move to a nine-game conference schedule promises to make an already difficult path to the College Football Playoff even more complicated. So, has the balance of power actually shifted to the Big Ten, or is the SEC positioned to take it back?
We sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a thick group of contenders. Georgia and Texas look like the safest bets near the top, but how much separates them from LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ole Miss? We debate Lane Kiffin's chances of putting LSU together immediately, Oklahoma's offensive ceiling, Alabama's unanswered questions, and whether teams like Tennessee and Florida are being overlooked. We also dig into South Carolina, Missouri, Auburn and Vanderbilt before trying to make sense of the conference's biggest rebuilds.
Plus: dubious beef becomes beef curiosities, what the SEC has in common with Detroit-style pizza, John Mateer apparently discovers Squatober, Will Stein gets plucky in Kentucky, and more.

In this college football podcast episode, we close out our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview with nine more teams and some of the conference's most difficult projections. USC has the offense, talent and expectations of a College Football Playoff contender, but can Lincoln Riley's team survive a relentless schedule while Gary Patterson rebuilds the defense?
The conversation gets especially spirited when we turn to the new eras at Penn State and Michigan. How quickly can Matt Campbell blend his Iowa State imports with the roster he inherited? Does Kyle Whittingham give Michigan an immediate coaching upgrade, and what will his staff unlock in Bryce Underwood? Along the way, we debate the talent level at Penn State, the offensive identities taking shape in Ann Arbor and State College, and whether either team can navigate a season filled with major swing games and playoff-level pressure.
We also dig into Bob Chesney's ambitious UCLA rebuild, the possibility of Illinois being overlooked, Minnesota's search for offensive pop, Maryland's attempt to give Malik Washington more help, and the upside and limitations of the new coaching staffs at Michigan State and Northwestern. Plus: Dan's Penn State slander, a save-the-date for the Minnesota Support Zoom, the return of Charles Chip Kelly, and a troubling sign from College Football 27.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview with a closer look at nine teams, beginning with the three programs most likely to determine the conference championship. Oregon has assembled another loaded roster, but is this finally the year Dan Lanning’s program gets over the hump? Can Ohio State maintain its defensive standard while building a new offensive identity under Arthur Smith? And how successfully can defending national champion Indiana reload around Josh Hoover and a wave of transfer portal additions?
We make our Big Ten championship predictions and examine the questions that could separate Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana once the College Football Playoff race begins. Then we turn toward the conference’s crowded middle. Is Iowa’s favorable schedule enough to overcome another uncertain quarterback situation? Can Washington’s promising but unproven roster deliver against better competition? And what happens when Nebraska pairs the unpredictable Anthony Colandrea with Dana Holgorsen?
We also discuss the stakes surrounding Luke Fickell at Wisconsin, Greg Schiano’s attempt to rebuild the Rutgers defense and Purdue’s difficult path toward meaningful progress. Plus: a spirited disagreement over Iowa, a possible resurgences for the RVO offense, suspicious Rutgers sandwich spots, the official installation of Ty as Chief Colandrea Officer, and more.

In this college football podcast episode, we open our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview by zooming out before diving into the individual team breakdowns. The conference has produced the last three national champions, enters the season with another wave of major coaching and coordinator changes, and features a surprising number of familiar quarterbacks.
We sort all 18 Big Ten teams into contender tiers and ask whether Ohio State, Oregon and defending national champion Indiana have separated from the field. Is USC talented enough to overcome its schedule and lingering defensive questions? Could Penn State, Michigan, Washington or Iowa emerge as the conference’s fourth College Football Playoff team? And how much faith should we place in new systems, new play callers and transfer quarterbacks across the league?
We also work through the crowded middle of the conference, where favorable schedules, volatile quarterbacks and major rebuilds make almost every projection feel negotiable. Plus: Sweet Lady Schedule, the Big Ten’s overarching theme of faith, Bob Chesney’s elite hairline, a renewed commitment to the Minnesota Support Zoom, and a fun announcement about the show's place in the college football media sphere.

In this college football podcast episode, we briefly step out of preview mode for a college football news reset. While we were working through the ACC and Big 12, the rest of the sport kept moving, beginning with another strange development at North Carolina. We discuss Mike Lombardi’s reported leave of absence, what it adds to the growing collection of Bill Belichick-era drama in Chapel Hill, and why Tar Heels fans did not exactly greet the news with despair.
Then we dig through the most memorable moments from SEC, ACC and Big 12 Media Days. Lane Kiffin contemplates mortality, Jon Sumrall brings an unmistakable level of intensity to Florida, Pat Narduzzi makes another bold conference comparison, and several SEC coaches begin building the case for nine-win College Football Playoff teams. We also consider Greg Sankey’s acknowledgment that conversations about an SEC and Big Ten breakaway are real, even if nobody is quite ready to explain where those conversations might lead.
Finally, with fall camps opening around the country, we look at the quarterback competitions worth tracking. What could a freshman starter mean for Tennessee? Is Alabama’s apparent favorite ready to take control? Which uncertain situations at Arkansas, Iowa and elsewhere could reshape an entire season? We also ask how many of these competitions are truly open and how many are exercises in keeping quarterbacks engaged during the transfer portal era.

In this episode, we finish our Big 12 preview with the conference’s final eight teams: Utah, Houston, TCU, Arizona, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, UCF and Cincinnati. This preview features plenty of teams on the cusp of a breakthrough or a frustrating step backward.
We start with Utah’s transition from Kyle Whittingham to Morgan Scalley and ask how much of the program’s familiar identity can survive a major staff and roster reset. From there, we dig into Houston’s contender case, TCU’s new quarterback and offensive coordinator, Arizona’s attempt to build on last year’s rebound, and Arizona State’s high-variance setup around a talented but unsettled offense.
Then, Ty makes the full-throated case for an Oklahoma State revival under Eric Morris and Drew Mestemaker, while Dan tries to keep expectations somewhere near Earth. We also break down whether UCF can make the Year 2 jump under Scott Frost and whether Cincinnati can survive massive turnover by leaning on one of the Big 12’s best offensive lines.
Plus: Wile E. Coyote branches, short quarterbacks, soufflé assembly and an impromptu summer tennis preview.

In this episode, we continue our 2026 Big 12 preview with the first full batch of team-by-team breakdowns. Texas Tech enters as the reigning conference champion and apparent favorite, but the strange offseason surrounding Brendan Sorsby and Will Hammond has made its path back to the College Football Playoff more complicated than it first appeared. We examine whether the Red Raiders can turn one dominant season into a repeatable model, and whether BYU has enough offensive growth and defensive muscle to finally close the gap.
From there, we move into the conference’s crowded and unpredictable middle. What will Kansas State look like with Collin Klein returning to lead the program? Can Dave Aranda and new defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman bring order to the chaos at Baylor before time runs out? We also consider whether Andy Kotelnicki can revive the Kansas offense, whether Brennan Marion’s Go-Go system is the answer for Colorado, and how quickly new regimes at West Virginia and Iowa State can start showing meaningful progress.
Plus, we discuss the booming transfer market for competent offensive linemen, the college football equivalent of a veteran left-handed relief pitcher, several dangerous schedule sandwiches, and much more.

In this episode, we begin our three-part Big 12 preview by taking a conference-wide look at the contenders, challengers and mystery teams shaping the 2026 season. Texas Tech enters as the defending champion and the clear center of attention, but does the conference’s best roster still have enough at quarterback and on defense to remain on top? We also examine why BYU feels like the safest alternative and whether Houston is ready to turn last year’s breakthrough into something even bigger.
From there, we sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a crowded middle class that may be deeper than either of us expected. How much should Utah’s infrastructure matter after major changes on the sideline and along both lines of scrimmage? Can Arizona, TCU or Kansas State stay in the championship race? Are we falling too hard for Oklahoma State’s potential, and how much faith should we place in Kenny Dillingham as Arizona State faces the conference’s most difficult schedule?
We also identify the players we are most interested in watching, debate several new quarterback situations and make our early Big 12 Championship Game predictions. Plus, the Monster Energy sponsorship inspires a shady monetization strategy, Willie Fritz becomes the world’s most dependable roofing contractor, and one verbal stumble launches a questionable new Cincinnati business venture.

In this college football podcast episode, we finish our three-part preview of the ACC by turning our attention to the defending conference champions and several of the league’s most difficult teams to project. Can Duke keep finding ways to win after another major quarterback change? Does Clemson have a real plan for getting back into the College Football Playoff conversation? And can Louisville once again rebuild its offense around a new transfer quarterback without losing ground near the top of the conference?
We also dig into James Franklin’s full-scale reboot at Virginia Tech, Ty’s increasingly dangerous belief in NC State, and a pivotal season for Brent Key at Georgia Tech. With new quarterbacks, rebuilt offensive lines, coordinator changes and transfer portal additions everywhere, how much confidence should we place in recognizable coaches and favorable schedules? Plus, we examine why Cal could become one of the most entertaining teams in college football, whether Syracuse can recover with Steve Angeli back under center, and what Bill O’Brien can realistically build at Boston College.
Elsewhere, Dan experiments with performance-enhancing inhalers, Ty launches Bros for Brohm, the Calgorithm gains strength, and we issue another annual warning about hiring Ted Roof.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 ACC preview with conversations about eight conference teams and Notre Dame. Is this finally the year Miami turns its loaded roster into its first conference championship? How high is the ceiling for an Irish squad with College Football Playoff expectations, a Heisman candidate at quarterback, and more talent than ever?
We also examine whether SMU is ready to take another step under Rhett Lashlee, whether Virginia can build on last season’s breakthrough with defense and small ball, and whether Pitt can turn another fast start into something more sustainable. Florida State enters a defining seventh season under Mike Norvell, while North Carolina begins Year 2 of the Bill Belichick experiment with Bobby Petrino running the offense. Wake Forest remains dangerous, strange and difficult to play, while Stanford begins a patient rebuild under Tavita Pritchard.
Plus: The Davis Warren Commission, Mid-Atlantic Hawkeyes, quarterback passport stamps, an unexpected amount of Train trivia, HGTV renovation metaphors, and an important reminder to wash your produce.

In this college football podcast episode, we begin our three-part 2026 ACC preview by zooming out and attempting to make sense of the conference as a whole. Miami enters the season as the clear favorite, with Darian Mensah taking over at quarterback and another roster built to reach the College Football Playoff. But can the Hurricanes finally win their first ACC championship?
From there, we sort the rest of the ACC into contender tiers and confront the question that defines the league this season: Who comes after Miami? We debate how much to trust Kevin Jennings and SMU, Jeff Brohm’s latest rebuild at Louisville, Clemson’s return to Chad Morris and the long list of possible challengers lurking in the conference’s crowded middle. We also examine the unusually unsettled quarterback landscape, widespread offensive line turnover, the arrival of James Franklin at Virginia Tech and the pressure facing Mike Norvell at Florida State.
Plus, we identify our ACC pet teams, search for surprise storylines and hold an entirely unnecessary conference nickname draft.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season.
The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order.
Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

In this episode, we kick off our 2026 conference preview series with Part 1 of our Group of Six rundown, covering the American, Sun Belt and MAC. With coaching changes, transfer portal churn, new coordinators and a whole lot of roster turnover, we try to figure out which teams are actually built to contend and which ones are more mystery box than finished product.
We start in the American, where UTSA, Navy, Memphis, Army, FAU, USF and ECU all have some version of a case, even if nearly every team comes with one glaring question. Then we move to the Sun Belt, where James Madison enters a new era with Billy Napier, Old Dominion has real intrigue, Louisiana and Troy headline the West, and nobody feels quite as loaded as last year.
Finally, we close with the MAC, where Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan appear to be the class of the conference, while Toledo, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Bowling Green, Ohio and Eastern Michigan crowd into a very meaty middle.
Plus: Dan’s questionable subtitle, a punny new vehicle at Coastal Carolina, Lunch Winfield, Goose Crowder, Sacramento State’s strange MAC arrival, Keldric Luster, and the looming joy of the Ball-Sac rivalry.

In this episode, we officially welcome ourselves back to college football with a full 2026 season primer. Before preview season begins in earnest, we reset the board with the biggest changes you need to know, from conference realignment, new teams, and bowl games to rule tweaks, the coaching carousel and a longer road to the national championship in Las Vegas. Consider this your intro course for the upcoming season.
We also run through the biggest names and roster moves shaping the season, including a huge crop of new head coaches, notable broadcast changes, the biggest transfer portal targets, and the quarterback storylines that could define the year. Plus, we look at early national title odds, conference favorites, Group of Six playoff contenders, and the broader themes we’ll be tracking all summer as our full preview series gets underway.
Also: the Ball-Sac rivalry, North Dakota State’s FBS arrival, the triumph of bike shorts, the return of the Poinsettia Bowl, and a joyous march in the Fleck Parade.

In this July Q&A episode, we open up the mailbag and tackle a wide-ranging batch of offseason questions. Which teams could become this year’s surprise contenders? Is Utah still a threat after major coaching and roster turnover? Can Texas Tech buy its way out of an old perception? And what do the NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rules mean for the future of roster building?
Plus, we talk portal spending, quarterback development, new coaching leashes at Michigan State, Penn State and Virginia Tech, college football’s value as a live-event experience compared to the World Cup, EA Sports dynasty strategy, social media guardrails, and sundae bars.

In this episode, we welcome Chris Fallica of Fox Sports, Big Noon Kickoff and Bear Bets to talk through college football from the perspective of a researcher, bettor, traveler and longtime media fixture. We get into how he studies the sport this time of year, what numbers actually matter, how the transfer portal has changed preseason projections, and why college football remains so difficult to evaluate in an era of super conferences, roster churn and wildly uneven schedules.
We also dig into the art of finding weird stats, the value of schedule spots, the eternal appeal of the letdown lookahead sandwich, and whether elevation deserves a bigger place in how we talk about home-field advantage. Plus, Chris shares a few early thoughts on teams he trusts and teams he is more skeptical of heading into 2026, with Indiana, Miami, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Florida State and Arkansas all coming up along the way.
Before the interview, we also react to the latest twist in the Brendan Sorsby saga after the NFL declined to hold a supplemental draft.

In this college football podcast episode, we react to the latest and likely final twist in the Brendan Sorsby saga, as the now-former Texas Tech quarterback backs off his NCAA lawsuit and turns his attention toward the NFL Supplemental Draft. After weeks of legal maneuvering, Big 12 pushback, public statements and fan frustration, we try to make sense of how the situation became untenable, what it means for Texas Tech, and where the Red Raiders go from here with Will Hammond now back in the spotlight.
Then, with preview season still a few weeks away, we open the window into the weirdest corners of college football fandom with help from the Message Board Geniuses (@BoardGeniuses) social feed. We dig through offseason fan brain at Texas Tech, Florida State, LSU, Washington, Oregon and beyond, touching on conference realignment fantasies, private investigator hypotheticals, Lane Kiffin’s housing situation, recruiting angst, national title expectations and one Auburn thread that probably should not have made it onto a college football podcast.
Plus: a new logo is on the way, Ty’s voice is still recovering, Dan pitches an “immersive college football experience,” and things end with an unfortunate discussion of fermented Japanese green plums.

In this episode, we examine the most interesting college football teams hovering around the bowl eligibility line in 2026. With win totals sitting at 5.5 or 6.5, these are the teams that could just as easily surge to 8-4 as stumble into 5-7, and we try to figure out which direction they’re headed before preview season officially begins.
We start with Florida and the Jon Sumrall reboot, then dig into Arizona State’s questions, Kentucky’s brutal SEC schedule, Minnesota’s surprisingly low win total, and Virginia Tech’s fascinating reset under James Franklin. Plus, we debate whether TCU has enough runway and whether Wisconsin is finally ready to clear the bar under Luke Fickell.
Also: Dan searches for a new lease, Ty searches for a Seattle soccer ticket, third-quarter sing-along traditions, the dangers of too many stadium sound effects, and how fuzzy June math led us directly to the today's concept.

Ty brings the pitches, while Dan and special guest Andy Staples play the investors, and decide which 2026 storylines are worth buying and selling. On the board: Brendan Sorsby's prospects at Texas Tech, the SEC's return to glory, the return of Gary Patterson, and a new Group of Six team crashing the playoff party.
Plus, the Sarks debate whether anyone other than Miami is worth backing in the ACC, whether Notre Dame is being set up as the sport’s most polished strength-of-schedule mirage, and which long-shot ideas still deserve emotional capital before the season begins.

In this episode, we welcome back our friend Richard Johnson from CBS Sports and Split Zone Duo for a conversation about the college football topics we talk about too much, and the ones we probably do not talk about enough. As preview season creeps closer, we zoom out on the sport’s offseason discourse and ask which arguments are useful, which ones are exhausted, and where the weird, fun, meaningful parts of college football might be hiding.
We dig into College Football Playoff format fatigue, the role of TV money and conference power, the constant hope that Congress can somehow “fix” college sports, the growing presence of gambling in broadcasts, and whether the Arch Manning conversation has swung too far in the other direction. Plus, we get into teams and coaches who deserve more attention, including Florida, UCLA, Michigan, and the broader world outside the SEC and Big Ten.
We also wander into West Coast scheduling thoughts, the need for more strange bowl game energy, Sacramento sports sadness, college football media golf rankings, and the inevitability of major news breaking whenever Richard goes to Europe.
And, right in the middle of our recording, news broke of Brendan Sorsby's reinstatement. (We react as best we can!)

In this episode, we step slightly outside our usual college football lane for a 2026 World Cup preview with ESPN’s Bill Connelly. With the tournament kicking off next week in North America, we put the tournament in terms that college football fans can understand and discuss the potential chaos of an expanded field, the "Indiana" of world soccer, and the constant tension between off-field disasters and on-field brilliance.
We dig into the U.S. Men’s National Team (USMNT), their upside, their flaws, their best college football comp, and what casual American fans should actually watch for when the games begin. Bill also walks us through the broader field, from favorites like France, Spain and England to possible sleepers like Norway, Turkey, and Mexico. Plus, we get into expectations for Canada, the randomness of the new knockout format, why this tournament could produce some truly strange outcomes, and much more.

In this June Q&A episode, we open up the Verballer mailbag and start looking ahead to preview season with some early college football summer loves. Which teams are we already talking ourselves into before the magazines arrive? Which programs are interesting, dangerous, confusing or just fun enough to pique our interest as the 2026 season gets closer?
We also dig into first-time College Football Playoff possibilities, the rising risk of major transfer portal investments, and whether Curt Cignetti’s championship run at Indiana was more impressive than anything Nick Saban or Kirby Smart ever did in a single season. Plus, we talk through what fans of rebuilding teams should actually look for in Year 1, why playoff expansion arguments still feel slippery, and which players or teams are perfect for showing off at a June cookout.
And, naturally, the episode eventually drifts into Brendan Fraser playing Dwight Eisenhower in a D-Day weather drama, bad old predictions, Drake Lindsey discourse, Arkansas despair, and Dan’s ongoing effort to make Ty regret his phrasing.

In this episode, we take a break from the usual offseason doom loop and focus on the things that still make college football worth getting excited about. With the 2026 season now inside the 100-day window, we lean into the joy, weirdness and ritual of the sport, from team entrances and tailgate footballs to bowl games as holiday escape hatches, overseas openers in Dublin and Rio, and the simple feeling of leaning forward on the couch right before kickoff.
We also get into the more specific quirks that make college football feel like college football: pylon cams, visor coaches, turnover props, weird eye black, old-school announcers, preview magazines, 68-degree noon kickoffs, coaches losing their minds on the sideline, late-night windows and the constant possibility that a huge favorite might get dragged into a game it has no business losing.
Plus, we look ahead to some of the real football reasons to be excited for 2026, including a loaded crop of star players, a monster Week 10 schedule, the evolving Group of Five playoff race and the SEC’s move to a nine-game conference schedule. Consider this a little kickoff yearning for the summer months, a reminder that, for all the sport’s problems, there’s still nothing quite like it.

In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport.
We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.

In this episode, we react to Tony Petitti’s public push for a 24-team College Football Playoff and try to sort through what it actually means for the sport. Is expansion really about access, regular-season stakes, and rewarding more teams, or is it mostly about television inventory, conference leverage, and the ongoing ESPN vs. Fox tug-of-war? We also talk through why the SEC’s preference for 16 teams suddenly puts some fans in the strange position of... rooting for Greg Sankey.
Then it’s time for an ACC vibe check, as we take a look at the conference before full preview season kicks into gear. Miami looks like the league’s clearest headliner, but after that, things get messy fast. We work through the conference’s biggest connective tissues, including offensive line questions, thin receiver rooms, quarterback uncertainty, Cal’s wide range of outcomes, Louisville’s favorable path, Georgia Tech’s possible regression, and whether Virginia Tech or NC State could turn into a surprise playoff-adjacent story.
Also included: Slices 'N Steps in NYC, illegal-streaming hypotheticals, Chili’s corn nostalgia, and the beginning of what may become a fully realized ACC-as-abandoned-mall taxonomy.

We’re midway through May, which means it’s time to start talking ourselves into, and out of, what the 2026 college football season could become. In this episode, we turn the month itself into a game with a Big Ten “Mayyyyybe” vibe check, asking which scenarios feel realistic, which ones feel like offseason nonsense, and which ones might look strangely prescient by November.
Could Ohio State’s schedule create a real College Football Playoff problem? Is Maryland quietly positioned to take a step forward? Can Wisconsin stabilize things for Luke Fickell, Iowa mess around with a playoff run, or UCLA become one of the more interesting teams in the conference under Bob Chesney? We also dig into Oregon’s internal coordinator hires, Michigan’s tricky first year under Kyle Whittingham, and USC’s unlucky, unforgiving schedule.
Along the way, there are schedule sandwiches, quarterback questions, offensive line concerns, coaching crush rankings, a surprising amount of hernia talk, and more.

We’re taking an early look at the 2026 college football schedule and doing a public service for the Verballerhood: figuring out which Saturdays deserve to be protected on the family calendar. From Week 0 appetizers to monster November slates, we rank the season week by week, identify the biggest projected matchups, and decide when it is safe to go outside and when it is absolutely not.
Along the way, we dig into the weeks that look especially dangerous for teams stuck between emotional rivalry games, cross-country trips, short weeks, and potential letdown spots. Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Oregon, USC, LSU, Ole Miss, BYU, Texas Tech and others all pop up as we sort through the best weekends, the sneaky ones, and the obvious trap-ortunities.
Plus, we discuss shared calendars, zhoug sauce, Trappy Valley, the revered Ball-Sac Game, how much of November should be blocked off, and several increasingly questionable strategies for preserving couch time during the best stretch of the season.

We’re back for Part 2 of our May Q&A, which means the offseason conversation gets both bigger and weirder. We start off with College Football Playoff expansion anxiety, including the possibility of a 24-team field, the future of conference championship games, and the growing gap between the people running the sport and the fans who love it.
We discuss the new marriage between Michigan State and Pat Fitzgerald, which leads us into a broader conversation about safe hires, risky hires, Transfer Portal recruiting, and what it actually means to rebuild in the modern Big Ten. We also touch on Texas, Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian, Florida State, Mike Norvell, and the kinds of expectations that can turn a normal season into a referendum.
We also spend some time on the quarterback and offensive coordinator pairings we’re most curious to watch, with stops at places like Georgia Tech, UCLA, Florida, Kentucky, and a few others. Which combinations are actually exciting? Which ones feel volatile? Which ones have the widest range of possible outcomes?
And because it’s an offseason Q&A, we find room for the important stuff: wearing your team’s gear when things are bleak, whether video podcasts have raised the appearance bar, and Dan’s surprisingly spicy take on wearing sneakers with suits.

In Part 1 of our big May Q&A, we dig into some of the biggest questions hanging over college football right now, starting with Brendan Sorsby’s uncertain status at Texas Tech and what it could mean for the Big 12 race. We also get into the new single-window transfer portal calendar, the changing value of internal player development, and how roster construction is evolving in a sport where continuity, money, scouting, and plain old luck all seem to matter at once.
From there, we zoom out to the SEC’s national championship drought, Texas’s non-conference schedule, the future structure of college football, and what a more stable version of the sport might look like by 2035. And naturally, we also find time for foot massagers, suspicious domain names, street-naming philosophies, and a little competitive geography talk.

Bill Connelly from ESPN.com stops by to walk us through the post-spring college football landscape, fresh off turning in 7,000 words on the MAC and kicking off his annual conference preview series. We get into how the portal era has transformed his prep work, why the SEC has become a "horizontal" conference of strong middles, and which conferences are hardest to make sense of right now. Bill evaluates the Big 12 after the Brendan Sorsby news, talks up a few mid-major teams to watch, and explains why he still doesn't fully trust Texas the way the rest of the country does.
We also dig into the Bob Chesney's roster build at UCLA, Oklahoma State's full offensive transfusion, Lane Kiffin's quarterback insurance policy, and what to make of the pairing of Bryce Underwood and Kyle Whittingham in Ann Arbor. Bill also shares his Alabama skepticism, his read on Indiana's encore, and why he's increasingly intrigued by Texas A&M.
And, to close things out, a little World Cup talk in advance of this summer's tournament.

Just as we hit record, news broke that Texas Tech's Brendan Sorsby, one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the transfer portal this cycle, is checking into a treatment program for a gambling addiction, and is under NCAA investigation dating back to his time at Indiana. In this episode, we lead off with what it means for Texas Tech, and why this story is bigger than just one player in an era where sports betting has never been more accessible.
Then, we're joined by fantasy football extraordinaire, Jason Moore of The Fantasy Footballers, for a crossover segment years in the making. Jason gives his advice for how our favorite college stars translate to fantasy football, talks through a uniquely thin fantasy class, and picks out his favorite landing spots among the biggest rookie names. Plus, he helps Ty through his issue of drafting too many rookies. When in doubt, just bet against the bad teams.

In this episode, we're joined by Cole Cubelic (SEC Network, McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning, The Cube Show) for an SEC vibe check. It's not a preview, just the temperature of the conference in late April. Cole pulls no punches on the reality facing SEC fan bases: Nick Saban's standards aren't coming back, sub-goals like winning the conference have been devalued, and we've collectively forgotten what a genuinely successful season looks like. Plus, we dive in the strange Kalen DeBoer hot seat chatter, Shane Beamer's underrated portal wizardry at South Carolina, why the Alex Golesh hire at Auburn matters more than who left in the portal, Texas's need for hard-hat glue guys to pair with its sports cars, and whether Lane Kiffin's LSU rebuild can actually cohere in year one.
We also discuss the loss of program continuity in the transfer portal era, the new nine-game SEC schedule as a gauntlet-within-a-gauntlet, and a big wave of defensive coordinator turnover that could make September interesting.

It's time for one of our favorite traditions: Our annual NFL Draft preview with Nate Tice of Yahoo Sports. Nate walks us through why the 2026 class should be defined by the word "useful" rather than "generational," how color-coded chips on his big board separate the truly elite from scheme-dependent prospects, and why the lack of consensus near the top could produce a first round full of surprises and trades.
We talked through the most accurate comps and comparisons for Fernando Mendoza, the incredible Ohio State defensive factory, the Ty Simpson versus Garrett Nussmeier conversation, Jeremiyah Love's place among recently drafted running backs, Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq and Dillon Thieneman, a loaded class of offensive linemen and much more.

Spring football is ongoing, and the quarterback battles are starting to tell us what 2026 might look like. In this episode, we work through a few of the most unsettled QB rooms in the country, from a four-way competition out West to a pair of SEC jobs where the depth chart has been rewritten since December. We also dig into the teams we can't stop thinking about heading into the summer, including Notre Dame, Oregon, Miami, TCU, and Oklahoma State's intriguing first-year project.

Today, we're taking a rare break from college football and dropping a long, off-topic episode to the feed. It's been nine years after the original Secret Garbage Bracket debuted, and we're bringing it back with an expanded 18-item field, two play-in games, and a fresh batch of submissions from the Verballerhood. The premise is the same as it was in 2017: take things that everyone seems to like, things that carry a high approval rating and rarely get questioned, and make the case that they're actually, secretly, kind of garbage.
This year's bracket covers a wide range of things from modern life, from everyday conveniences and travel staples to entire cultural institutions and lifestyle choices. There are heated debates, a few philosophical tangents, and at least one matchup that spiraled into something neither of us expected.

From the revenue arms race to jersey patches to the SCORE Act, Matt breaks down the big-picture forces shaping every athletic department in the country.

March Madness has a way of bringing old feelings back to the surface, and for college football fans, there's plenty of unresolved heartbreak left over from the 2025 season. In this college football episode, we introduce the Wiggum Scale, a Ralph Wiggum-inspired framework for rating the most devastating losses and collapses of the year. From Penn State's season-breaking double overtime loss to Oregon at a packed Beaver Stadium, to a South Carolina team that watched a 30-3 halftime lead against Texas A&M completely evaporate, to a botched extra point hold that may have cost Notre Dame a playoff berth, we make peace with more than a dozen moments that some fans may never want to feel again.

In this episode, we each picked eight transfers — four on offense, four on defense, one quarterback max — that we find most interesting heading into the 2026 season. Why these guys? It comes down to situation, scheme fit, prior production, and in some cases, just a gut feeling that something's about to click at the next stop.
We get into the players following their coaches to new destinations, the quarterback pickups nobody saw coming, the edge rushers changing conferences, and the linebackers ready to take over defenses. The big themes keep coming up: how much does coaching familiarity actually matter, can G5 numbers translate to a Power 4 schedule, and what happens when a proven producer lands in a more stable situation?

The second part of our Mega March Q&A is here, and we're going deep on the questions that (apparently) matter most to the Verballerhood ahead of the 2026 season. Which teams could make a surprising playoff run? Where will college football's inertia be broken next season? Has the rapid pace of change in the sport diminished our love for it? When will the NCAA stop begging for help from Congress? Plus, the greatest "big back" of all time, college football figure skating pairings, football power plays and more.

The Verballerhood's questions were so good that we had to split our Mega March Q&A episode into two parts. In Part 1, we look at Kalen DeBoer's future with Alabama, the value of playing time as a recruiting tool for non-blue bloods, and the college football moments over the last 25 years that we'd most like to change. Plus, we discuss whether TV networks can force teams to stop canceling marquee matchups, how the Big 12 can become a two-bid league in the CFP era, the conditions for optimal tailgating, and much more.

Chuck Klosterman has written about music, pop culture, and the nature of reality... but football is a different level of obsession. In today's episode, Chuck details his new book, Football, and digs into what makes the sport so culturally singular, why college football's pageantry and regionalism feel increasingly fragile, and why the blue bloods still need to matter for any of this to work.
In our wide-ranging conversation, we also touch on the television presentation of college football, the impact of NIL and the transfer portal on fandom, the insanity of Indiana winning a national championship, and the cautionary tale of horse racing.

In today's episode, we break down North Dakota State's historic move to FBS and the Mountain West, including the financial details, the NCAA's probationary period challenge, and why the Fargodome is a must-visit destination. We also unpack former Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos' new book, Crab Creek Chronicles, and what it reveals about the Scott Frost hire, Chip Kelly almost landing in Lincoln, and a secret meeting about Nebraska potentially returning to the Big 12
Most importantly, we play "Trend or Not a Trend" with six teams heading into 2026. Is Miami's high-level winning sustainable? Can Oklahoma's defense carry a middling offense deep into the SEC? Is Arizona's defensive leap here to stay? Where does Virginia go from here at quarterback? Is Texas A&M a playoff contender with that gauntlet schedule? Can USC get back to double-digit wins under Lincoln Riley?

With Valentine's Day around the corner, we take a look at the 2025 storylines we secretly loved. Whether scrappy teams held things together with gum and chicken wire, coaches who turned programs around overnight, or the moments that didn't make national headlines, we talk through the things that got our hearts pumping. Think Wisconsin winning games with their punter as the leading passer, Houston quietly going 10-3, Arch Manning actually getting better when pundits left him for dead, and much more.
In this episode, we share our own picks before opening it up to the Verballerhood, whose submissions cover everything from Kenny Dillingham staying at Arizona State to the absurdity of Lane Kiffin's move to LSU, Arkansas fans learning to love heartbreak, Indiana fans debating whether to protect their hearts or go all in on Curt Cignetti, and much more.

For years, you've asked us to do a Super Bowl preview. We finally did it, but with the only spin that makes sense for a college football podcast: looking at Super Bowl LX entirely through the stories, moments, and legacies these players built in college.
When the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots kick off Sunday night, it won't just be two NFL teams battling for a championship. It will be Sam Darnold's redemption story that started at USC, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's effortless brilliance that lifted Ohio State, Kenneth Walker dragging Michigan State to glory, and Drake Maye carrying on North Carolina's royal lineage. Join us as we break down both rosters, revisit the moments that made these players who they are, and enjoy Super Bowl 60 as one big college reunion.

The year ended with an absolute whirlwind for Michigan and Utah football. First, the Wolverines fired Sherrone Moore for an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. Within the next 48 hours, he was arrested and arraigned at a local courthouse, marking an unexpected twist as the story took a dark turn. Just two weeks later, the longtime coach of Utah, Kyle Whittingham, was introduced as Michigan's next head coach after succession plans led to an uneasy exit from Salt Lake City. In this episode, we talk with Dan Wetzel from ESPN and Sean O'Connell from ESPN 700 to go inside the ropes and understand what happened during a wild two weeks in December, what it was like to track the Moore news, how Whittingham ended up in Ann Arbor, and more.

Alabama's bizarre tumble into (and out of) the playoff. Two Group of Five teams crashing the party. And Lee Corso's farewell to College GameDay.

ESPN’s Max Olson joins the show to unpack a wild portal season, from $6 million quarterback price tags to the legal mess surrounding Demond Williams at Washington. Why are some schools like Indiana and Texas Tech winning the arms race while others remain quiet? We go deep on the mechanics, the money, and the "fire hose" of news currently reshaping the sport.

On Friday night, Indiana destroyed Oregon by a 56-22 score, leaving no doubt why the Hoosiers were the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. It was a dominant effort by Curt Cignetti, Fernando Mendoza, and a Hoosier defense that forced three first half turnovers. So dominant, in fact, that we're struggling to put it in historical context. In this episode, we walk back through the game, peek a bit ahead to the national championship game and, of course, give Dan a chance to sound off on a disappointing ending to Oregon's season.

What a finish! After 14 weeks of an incredible season, college football may have saved the best for last. In this episode, we walk back through the biggest storylines for all nine conference championship games in Week 15, starting with Indiana defying expectations and closing out a thin win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. Not to be outdone, Georgia layed the smack down on Alabama, winning the SEC for the second straight year and potentially throwing the CFP bubble into a state of disarray. Does the Tide still deserve a playoff bid? Speaking of chaos, the unranked Duke Blue Devils upset Virginia to take the ACC, opening up the possibility that the conference will be left out entirely with two Group of Five teams sneaking in the side door. And finally, Texas Tech took care of business and beat BYU for the second time this season by a 20+ point margin.

Can BYU avenge an earlier loss to Texas Tech and rally behind their newly re-upped coach? Will Georgia snap a three-game losing streak against Alabama and earn a first round CFP bye? What's the formula for a five-loss Duke to worm its way into the playoff? How big is the gap between Ohio State and Indiana? With a playoff spot on the line, should we favor North Texas or Tulane? And James Madison is gonna try to score like 70 points, right?
Plus, a look at the latest news as the coaching carousel continues to spin, with Will Stein taking the job at Kentucky, Collin Klein taking over at Kansas State, and Brian Hartline making the move to USF.

And to make sure you're fully prepared, we go rapid fire through 17 other big games in Week 14.

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.

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.

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. In this college football podcast episode, we unpack a crazy week with Indiana and Oregon on the brink of losing in tough road spots, with Texas Tech dominating another Big 12 opponent, and with both Virginia and Louisville losing at home and throwing the ACC into further chaos. 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. And finally, we play your voice messages, hand out our Dude Alerts for the top Week 11 performers, and muse over the latest G6 playoff scenarios featuring North Texas, USF and Tulane.

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. Plus, a muted but fascinating Florida State vs Clemson showdown, a monster G6 meet-up between Tulane and Memphis, and a true test of the Ty Jinx in Washington vs Wisconsin.
We also take a look at the first CFP Rankings and the projected playoff bracket, give you a handful of under-the-radar games to be aware of, keep you up to date on the upcoming Patriot League action, and offer some guidance for getting out of the house on a college football Saturday.

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.

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. Plus, we break down a huge matchup between USF and Memphis, a possible shootout between Baylor and Cincinnati, and the battle for Floyd of Rosedale between Minnesota nad Iowa.

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. We also dive into a handful of other honorable mentions across every conference and time slot.

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.

We're fired up for another week of bangers in Week 7! 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!

We thought Week 6 would be quiet. We were wrong. Dead wrong.
Three top 15 teams fell to unranked opponents in what might be the most chaotic Saturday of the season. We dive deep into Penn State's shocking 42-37 loss to UCLA—a team that fired its coach just days earlier. The loss raises serious questions about James Franklin's future despite his $50+ million buyout. Can this relationship be salvaged? We also break down Florida's inspired 29-21 upset of Texas in The Swamp, where the Gators' defense sacked Arch Manning six times and exposed flaws in the Longhorns' offensive line. Plus, Miami continues to look like a legitimate contender with a dominant road win over Florida State, powered by freshman sensation Malachi Toney and an elite defensive front.
Beyond the headline upsets, we analyze Alabama's methodical win over Vanderbilt, Cincinnati's offensive explosion against Iowa State, Bryce Underwood's career day against Wisconsin, and what all this chaos means for the playoff picture.
To close things out, Ty reveals his updated top 12 rankings, we answer live Verballer questions about Ohio State inevitability, the best G6 teams, and the champions of NIL, and finally, hand out Dude Alerts to standouts like Bear Bachmeier, Dallas Wilson, and Ty Simpson.

Welcome to Week 6, the start of Cocktober. We dive into a slate that's loaded with opportunities for offenses to establish themselves (or for underdogs to sneak in and steal one). We circle back and discuss the two biggest games of the weekend: Vandy traveling to Alabama and Miami making their first road trip to face Florida State in Tallahassee. Both have baggage, both feature ranked teams, and both could shake up the playoff picture.
From there, we explore the sneaky-important matchups that nobody's talking about enough: Iowa State's trip to Cincinnati, Kansas State trying to bounce back at Baylor, and Texas facing a desperate Florida team in The Swamp. We also hit on Notre Dame's chance to make a statement against Boise State, the letdown potential for Illinois, and why we're believers in some serious home dog action this week (looking at you, Cal and Virginia).
Plus, we've got our weekly Pat League lookahead, a breakdown of the optimal quad setup for Saturday, and a look at the Taylor Swift curse, bear coat turnover props, and more.

We're back from an incredible trip to State College, and we've got a lot of college football to unpack, starting with the news that Sam Pittman has been fired at Arkansas. With Bobby Petrino taking over as interim head coach, we discuss the likely candidates to permanently replace Pittman, including Rhett Lashlee, GJ Kinne, John Sumrall, Deion Sanders, and others.
From there, we dive deep into conference power rankings for all four major conferences. We go team-by-team through the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12, making some calls that'll probably upset you. We disagree on Georgia's placement after their home loss to Alabama, try to make sense of ACC chaos beyond Miami, figure out which Big 12 teams are actually good, and weirdly agree on a relatively orderly Big Ten.
We also share stray thoughts from Week 5 games we didn't get to discuss in detail—Ohio State's dominant defense, Ole Miss looking legit, LSU's offensive struggles, the USC-Illinois thriller, and why Mississippi State deserves more respect.
Finally, we break down two massive Week 6 matchups with early predictions. For Vanderbilt at Alabama, we explain why this revenge game might not go the way most expect. And for Miami at Florida State, we discuss why this spread has dropped significantly and why we're both taking the Seminoles with the points in their first true test.
Finally, we share our completely unfiltered experience from Penn State's Whiteout game between Oregon and Penn State. The crowd was ear-splitting and incredible—truly one of the best environments in college football. From the tailgate scene to the in-game atmosphere to the postgame chaos, we give you the full State College experience.

Join us for a very different reaction episode from an undisclosed audio bunker a few blocks south of College Avenue in State College, PA. In this college football podcast episode, we relive our experience at the Oregon-Penn State Whiteout game, the moments that won it for the Ducks and the ways that the Nittany Lions came back from the dead from a 14-point deficit to send the game into overtime. Plus, we give our snap judgement on other results around the country and listen to an all star batch of Reverbs.

Week 5 is absolutely loaded with monster games, and we're headed to Happy Valley for the Penn State-Oregon whiteout! In this college football podcast episode, we take another deep dive into the three biggest matchups of the weekend: Oregon at Penn State in what promises to be an electric atmosphere, Alabama traveling to Georgia in a crucial SEC showdown, and LSU heading to Oxford to face Ole Miss in another must-watch conference battle.
Beyond those headliners, we wonder if Ohio State might be in danger at Washington, whether USC can prove they're for real on the road at Illinois, if Notre Dame can stop Taylen Green, and if Auburn is trapped in perpetual limbo after another close loss. We also examine Indiana's statement opportunity at Iowa and dive into several intriguing home underdogs.
We also take a look at the latest news with Mike Gundy's sudden dismissal at Oklahoma State and John Mateer's thumb injury potentially sidelining Oklahoma's quarterback for up to a month.
Finally, we break down our Under the Radar Games worth watching, map out your optimal afternoon viewing quad for maximum entertainment, and identify the small window of opportunity to get errands done before the day's best action kicks off.

We're gearing up for a monster slate of games in Week 5 and our trip to the massive Penn State-Oregon contest this weekend. But first, we start with the news, including a tough season-ending injury for Syracuse QB Steve Angeli, a fine for the Orange for faking injuries, and the SEC's official ruling on Oklahoma's controversial trick-play touchdown. We also touch on the SEC's newly announced annual opponents for the next four years and share the heartbreaking news of former App State coach Shawn Clark's unexpected passing.
Then, we dive into the latest AP and Verballer Top 12 polls, breaking down the disparities and debating which teams are ranked too high or too low as we enter Week 5. From there, we ask whether we've seen enough to truly believe in five discussion-worthy teams: Florida State, Miami, Indiana, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma.
And finally, we turn our attention to a loaded Week 5 schedule, giving our full breakdowns and predictions for the three biggest matchups of the weekend (No. 4 LSU at No. 13 Ole Miss, No. 7 Alabama at No. 4 Georgia, and No. 3 Oregon at No. 5 Penn State).

It turns out that College Football Week 4 delivered some interesting tests! In this episode, we break down what it all means, from the rise of Texas Tech's impressive defensive showing against Utah to Indiana's demolition of Illinois and Oklahoma's win over Auburn. Plus, a closer look at why TCU should be on your radar, how Michigan can get the most out of its offense, what we learned about Miami in their win over Florida, and what Clemson's 1-3 start means for Dabo Sweeney. We also talk through a crazy interesting day in the Big 12, Memphis's run at the CFP, looming questions about Chris Ash and Notre Dame's defense, and more.
And, in addition, we answered live questions on YouTube, played your Week 4 Reverbs, and gave out Dude Alerts for the best individual performances from another great week of college football.

We're calling it "Sock'em in the Mouth Saturday" – and for good reason. Week 4 has all the makings of a weekend where untested favorites get their first real taste of adversity. In this college football podcast episode, we dive deep into how teams might respond facing their first legitimate punch in the mouth.
We circle back on games discussed earlier in the week (Texas Tech vs TCU, Auburn vs Oklahoma, Illinois vs Indiana) and pose the most important questions about other marquee matchups in Week 4. Can a struggling Florida team find any answers on the road against a red-hot, in-state rival in Miami? Is this the weekend that Nebraska officially joins the Big Ten and CFP discussion with a win over Michigan? In the Battle for the Iron Skillet, should we expect another 100-point shootout between SMU and TCU, or can either questionable defense find a way to make a game-winning stop? And in a classic "styles make fights" matchup, will Baylor's undeniable offense be enough to overcome its struggling run defense, or can Arizona State control the clock and grind out a win on the road? We ask the important questions for all the biggest matchups.
We also hand out our locks of the week (what could go wrong?) and break down why this might be the optimal weekend to plant yourself in front of the TV all afternoon.
Finally, we discuss why USC might be the biggest wildcard in college football, as Lincoln Riley's squad has quietly assembled all the pieces for a disruptive season, and we break down why the Trojans could be a talking point sooner than later. Plus, we address the Clemson situation after Dabo's animated press conference.

Plus, a spirited game of "Con" Air in which we figure out which issues are worth being concerned about at Texas, LSU, Notre Dame and other places, And finally, three early predictions for Week 4, as Texas Tech visits Utah, Jackson Arnold and Auburn travel to Oklahoma and Illinois goes to Indiana.

Week 3 delivered the kind of college football chaos we live for, and we're here to break it all down. We witnessed Texas A&M pull off a stunning road upset at Notre Dame in a 41-40 thriller that came down to the final seconds, with Marcel Reed and the Aggies finding a way to steal one in South Bend. Meanwhile, Georgia and Tennessee went to overtime in what might have been the game of the week, with Gunner Stockton making an absolutely ridiculous fourth-down throw to tie it at the end of regulation.
The madness didn't stop there. We saw Georgia Tech shock Clemson on a walk-off 55-yard field goal, LSU's defense stifle Florida's DJ Lagway in a 20-10 win, and the next chapter in Vanderbilt's surprising start with a dominant road win at South Carolina. From the SEC's wild weekend to surprising performances across every conference, we're breaking down all the biggest storylines, unexpected heroes, and what it all might for the playoff picture. Plus, we dive into our Dude Alerts and the most entertaining listener reactions from a week that had everything.

We're just a few weeks into the college football season and the picture is just starting to come into focus. In this college football podcast episode, we react to the latest AP Poll and our own Verballer Top 12 rankings, questioning whether voters are being bold enough with early-season movement. Should teams like USF be ranked higher after their impressive wins? And are teams like Penn State and Georgia too high?
We also bring back our beloved "Dunzo or Not Dunzo" segment to evaluate teams -- Arizona State, Kansas State, Virginia Tech and others -- that might already be cooked relative to preseason expectations. Finally, we dive deep into three massive Week 3 matchups: Georgia at Tennessee in a battle of undefeateds, Florida trying to bounce back at LSU in Death Valley, and Texas A&M visiting Notre Dame in what could be a statement game for both programs.

In this college football podcast episode, we dive deep into a wild Week 2 that left fan bases across the country questioning everything they thought they knew about their teams. Oklahoma's Jon Mateer looked like a folk hero in Norman, leading the Sooners to a convincing 24-13 victory over Michigan that showcased his incredible elusiveness and game management skills. Meanwhile, we break down what this win means for Brent Venables' program as they prepare for a murderous SEC schedule ahead.
But the upset of the day belonged to USF, who stunned Florida 18-16 in The Swamp with a last-second field goal. We take a look at what this loss means for Billy Napier's future in Gainesville and whether the Gators can recover from such a devastating home defeat. Plus, we cover the wild shootout between Baylor and SMU that went to double overtime, Army's shocking upset of Kansas State, and how teams like Penn State and Georgia looked surprisingly sluggish despite comfortable wins. From Missouri's Border War victory to Illinois' impressive road performance at Duke and Arizona State's road loss at Missisippi State, we give you our instant reactions to all the biggest storylines from a weekend that reminded us why college football remains beautifully unpredictable.
Plus, reactions from around the Verballerhood in the form of social posts and voice messages, as well as the weirdest things that happened in Week 2 college football.

Week 2 has big 2011 energy with lots of emotion, some heartbreak, and plenty of unfinished business.

We're back to break down the remaining drama from college football's opening weekend, as Miami delivered when the stakes were highest, knocking off Notre Dame 27-24 in a game that felt like a must-win for Mario Cristobal. In this college football podcast episode, we dive deep into how the Hurricanes won the line of scrimmage and why Notre Dame's offensive game plan was so confusing. Also, a recap of South Carolina's slugfest with Virginia Tech, the return of "Beamer Ball" as a winning strategy for Shane Beamer, the frustration of watching Kyron Drones, and new steam on the "LaNorris The Creator" movement in popular media.
Plus, a look back at our leftover observations from Week 1, a twin pack of early bird specials looking ahead to the CyHawk rivalry and Michigan's big road trip to Oklahoma, and a lookahead at a meaty Week 2 slate of games.

We're back after months away from a full slate of college football games, and Week 1 delivered exactly the kind of chaos we needed. In this college football podcast episode, we dive deep into the biggest storylines, starting with Ohio State's defensive masterclass against Texas in a 14-7 slugfest that left more questions than answers about Arch Manning's readiness for the spotlight. Meanwhile, Florida State pulled off the upset of the day, dismantling Alabama 31-17 behind Tommy Castellanos and a Gus Malzahn offense that looked nothing like last year's disaster.
We also break down LSU's statement road win at Clemson, Auburn's ground-and-pound victory over Baylor, and all the smaller storylines that are reshaping our preseason expectations. From quarterback controversies to defensive surprises, we cover the games that mattered most and react to your tweets and voice messages.

IT'S. GAME. WEEK! Join us as we power rank the most interesting matchups on Thursday and Friday of an extended holiday weekend of Week 1 games and take an advanced preview of two of the biggest contests as Texas heads to Ohio State and Clemson hosts LSU in the Death Valley Invitational.
After reviewing some extra takeaways from Week 0 – including why we shouldn't overreact to early season rust – we break down the news that Bryce Underwood has officially been named Michigan's starting quarterback. How should this affect our read on the Wolverines in 2025?
Then, we rank the five most intriguing of the 28 games being played on Thursday and Friday, from Auburn-Baylor as a potential Friday night thriller to the sneaky-good matchup between Boise State and USF. We close out by tackling two monster games: Texas traveling to Columbus as slight road favorites in a College Football Playoff semifinal rematch, and Clemson hosting LSU as a four-point favorite.

College football is back! The season officially starts this weekend with Week 0, and we're here to break down all five games, including the big Farmageddon matchup between Iowa State and Kansas State in Ireland.
But first, we talk through some of the biggest quarterback battles across the country, with news of CJ Carr winning the job at Notre Dame, Julian Sayin taking the reins at Ohio State, Ty Simpson getting the nod at Alabama, and Bear Bachmeier becoming the first true freshman to start at BYU.
Then, a quick chat about the College Football Playoff committee's decision to use "enhanced metrics" to put more weight on strength of schedule, the potential short- and long-term impacts of the move, and whether the new numbers will be personally sponsored by Greg Sankey. We also circle back to Michigan's punishment by the NCAA, which was handed down at the end of last week, and unveil our preseason Verballer Top 12.

It’s that time again—the season is on the doorstep, and we brought in ESPN’s Bill Connelly to help us make sense of the chaos ahead. From his new SP+ rankings with a dozen teams clumped near the top to the Arch Manning hype train and a logjam of unproven quarterbacks, we dive headfirst into why 2025 might be the most unpredictable season in years.
We cover the teams with the widest range of outcomes (hello, Tennessee), the portal-fueled rebuilds at Purdue and West Virginia, and which traditional powers might quietly be underrated. Bill also opens up about his new book Forward Progress, why realignment and money distribution could shape the sport’s future, and what “canaries in the coal mine” fans should keep an eye on.
Plus, why offensive lines could make or break this year’s contenders, whether Texas Tech is ready to crash the playoff party, and what keeps college football so beautifully chaotic despite all the off-field drama.

It's receipts time! We put our college football credibility on the line with our official 12-team playoff brackets, complete with seeding, matchups, and championship predictions. The time has come to go all-in on our bold calls that will either age like fine wine or haunt us all season long.
We break down our top-4 seeds (spoiler: we disagree wildly on Clemson), debate the SEC vs. Big 12 representation, and explain why Notre Dame might be the key to everything. Plus, we reveal our Heisman winners, Coach of the Year picks, and other awards predictions.
The Verballerhood also chimes in with their own bold predictions via the Reverb line, including some spicy takes on Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, and whether all three service academies can make bowl games.
But that's not all – it wouldn't be the college football season without some Fantasy Things to keep us entertained. Join in on the fun as we draft the quirky college football storylines and media moments we're most excited to track this season.

It's the feeling every college football (and sports) fan knows too well: Doubting your own takes. In this episode, we're joined by Brett Ciancia from Pick Six Previews to talk through the opinions we're second-guessing the most after several weeks of conference previews. From Ty's thoughts on Miami and USC to Dan's comments on Missouri, we lean on the most accurate college football predictor over the past decade to set us straight. Brett even has some doubts of his own in the SEC.
We also dig into Brett's "Game Grader" formula and how it spots teams that were way better (or worse) than their records showed. Plus, an honest conversation around how the transfer portal is making projections more complicated, how the Big 12 remains unpredictable, and a brief look ahead at the marquee matchups in Week 1.

New AP Poll just dropped! In this college football podcast episode, we react to the newly-released poll by discussing which teams are too high and which are too low. Plus, we talk through key injury news around the sport, including LSU's Garrett Nussmeier and others. And last but not least, we make our case for the College Football Red Zone channel, and why we think we should be hosts.
Finally, we close out our 136-team preview marathon by breaking down Notre Dame and UConn. How close is the quarterback derby between CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey, and how do the Irish stack up this season as compared to last? Then, we examine UConn's fascinating rise under Jim Mora.

We close out our three-part SEC preview by taking a closer look at Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Arkansas, South Carolina, Auburn, and Vanderbilt.
In this college football preview episode, we ask burning questions about eight SEC teams that could swing wildly in either direction this season. Is Florida poised for a big jump with a (finally) healthy DJ Lagway navigating one of the most brutal schedules in the country? Will the addition of quarterback John Mateer and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle lead Oklahoma back to prominence, or is their monster schedule too much to overcome? Is 2025 a stepback year for Josh Heupel and Tennessee after losing key offensive pieces, or can their elite defense carry them?
We examine Texas A&M as a legitimate playoff contender behind Marcel Reed's dual-threat ability and a physical rushing attack that could punish teams late in games. We discuss whether Sam Pittman can do enough to keep his job at Arkansas with Taylen Green leading a completely revamped receiving corps and a defense that struggled mightily in pass coverage. We analyze if LaNorris "The Creator" Sellers and pass-rushing phenom Dylan Stewart have enough of a supporting cast around them to lift South Carolina after massive bigtime turnover.
Plus, we debate how much we should believe in Jackson Arnold's fresh start at Auburn with an elite receiving corps but lingering questions about offensive line stability, and what to make of Vanderbilt, which brings back tons of production from their magical 2024 season but will no longer be able to fly under the radar.
From Florida's injury concerns to A&M's playoff potential to Vandy's encore attempt, this is your guide to the SEC's X-factors that could completely change the conference landscape.

We dive deep into the SEC's upper crust with our first of two comprehensive preview episodes, breaking down eight of the conference's most talented and high-expectation teams. From Texas's national championship aspirations and the beginning of the Arch Manning era to Alabama's loaded roster under Kalen DeBoer and a revamped offense for Georgia under Kirby Smart, we explore the teams most likely to compete for SEC titles and playoff spots.
In this college football podcast episode, we analyze Texas as the preseason No. 1 team and whether Arch Manning can navigate one of the toughest road schedules in the country, including trips to Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia. We examine Alabama's quarterback battle between Ty Simpson, Austin Mack, and Keelon Russell, plus the reunion of Kalen DeBoer with longtime coordinator Ryan Grubb. We discuss Georgia's search for offensive star power with Gunner Stockton at the helm and their favorable SEC schedule.
We also break down Ole Miss's "nothing to lose" mentality with Austin Simmons taking over for Jaxson Dart, LSU's all-in approach with Garrett Nussmeier and their loaded but unproven receiver room, and Dan's Big Ten-to-SEC quarterback theory with Beau Pribula at Missouri. Plus, we examine Kentucky's massive roster overhaul under Mark Stoops with 40+ new players and Mississippi State's uphill climb in Jeff Lebby's second season after going 0-8 in SEC play.
This is your guide to the SEC's championship contenders and the key questions that will determine their 2025 fates, with eight more teams coming in our next episode!

Preview season rolls on as we dive into the SEC, figure out the contenders and pretenders, making some irresponsible predictions, and chew on the conference's biggest storylines going into the 2025 college football season.
In this SEC preview episode, we discuss the impact Arch Manning could have on the Texas Longhorns, provided the offensive line can get sorted in time. Plus, a conversation around whether this year's Alabama squad will feel more "DeBoerian" than in 2024, and how Georgia stacks up with Gunner Stockton at the helm.
We also debate the meaty middle of the conference and wonder if Brian Kelly can turn talent into big wins, if Mike Elko can bully the conference with his rushing attack, if DJ Lagway can handle a murderer's row of a schedule, and if Missouri is the ultimate wildcard. And of course, a conversation about a new-look Ole Miss, the fearsome trio of LaNorris Sellers, Dylan Stewart and Nyck Harbor at South Carolina, Oklahoma's new quarterback / coordinator tandem, Tennessee's transfer trade, Auburn's portal fever, and much more.
And finally, we take the temperature of Arkansas, Vandy, Kentucky and Mississippi State.
Consider this your starter pack for the 2025 SEC football season.

In this college football podcast episode, we're welcoming Josh Pate from Josh Pate's College Football Show for a scorching session of hot takes that will have you questioning everything you think you know about the 2025 season.
Josh delivers a stunning ACC prediction that involves "hateful three-stars" and a program most people are sleeping on, while Dan forecasts a looming coaching exodus that could reshape the sport. Meanwhile, Ty makes a bold LSU comparison that will make SEC fans nervous and goes all-in on another FCS transfer quarterback. (What else is new?)
We explore why one SEC powerhouse might have a "fantastic" season despite disappointing records, which Big Ten offense could see a surprise jump, and how Missouri's dream schedule could lead to CFP chaos. Plus, the Verballerhood chimes in with a Lincoln Riley take so wild it breaks our brains.
This is your guide to the wildest possibilities in what could be college football's most unpredictable season yet.

We wrap up our Big Ten preview series with the third and final installment, breaking down the remaining nine teams that represent the conference's fascinating middle tier and intriguing sleepers. From Iowa's FCS quarterback gamble to Rutgers' weird look-ahead potential, we explore the teams that could shake up the Big Ten landscape.
In this college football podcast episode, we dive into Ty's affinity for new Iowa QB Mark Gronowski and why the Hawkeyes could surprise people. We analyze Nebraska's year-three Matt Rhule expectations with Dylan Raiola's development and a better offensive line, debate USC's ability to finally finish games with Jayden Maiava, and explore Washington's white-knuckle potential with Demond Williams.
We also break down Wisconsin's aggressive portal additions despite a brutal schedule, examine Minnesota as the "But Also" team of the Big Ten with rookie quarterback Drake Lindsey, and wonder how spicy Michigan State can be with the tandem of Aiden Chiles and Nick Marsh. Plus, we discuss Nico Iamaleava's supporting cast at UCLA and debate whether Rutgers can capitalize on their advantageous scheduling spots.
This is your complete guide to the Big Ten's most unpredictable programs and potential spoilers.

We dive into the Big Ten with the second part of our three-part conference preview series, breaking down nine teams with detailed previews of the conference's contenders and most compelling storylines. From the Penn State hype train to Purdue's "Pastrami of the Big Ten," we give you enough to be dangerous around the water cooler.
In this college football podcast episode, we examine Ohio State's championship odds with new coordinators Brian Hartline and Matt Patricia, debate whether Julian Sayin can handle the pressure in Week One against Texas, and wonder if the Buckeyes can overcome so many new variables. We break down James Franklin's "Phil Collins" moment with a loaded roster of veterans, a splash hire of Jim Knowles to run the defense, and a schedule working in their favor.
We analyze Oregon's talent-heavy retooling under Dan Lanning, questioning whether Dante Moore and a loaded-but-unproven roster can match last year's success. Plus, we debate Michigan's ceiling with true freshman Bryce Underwood potentially starting behind a rebuilt offense, and examine the fascinating battle between Illinois' experience-heavy roster and Indiana's portal-powered reload under Curt Cignetti.
We also explore Maryland's youth movement with four-star freshman Malik Washington, Northwestern's impossible schedule in their temporary lakefront stadium, and Purdue's complete roster overhaul under Barry Odom, featuring 69 new players and the "most erotic sandwich potential" in college football.
Can Penn State finally beat Ohio State when they matter? Can Ryan Day get the Michigan monkey off his back?
This is your comprehensive guide to the most intriguing storylines and burning questions in the Big Ten's upper crust.

We tackle the Big Ten with the first of our three-part conference preview and break all 18 teams into tiers, discuss the biggest storylines and use protein metaphors to capture just how overwhelming this massive conference has become. From Ohio State's run at another national championship to Penn State's lofty expectations and the intriguing battle for fourth place, we unpack what makes this conference both excellent and exhausting.
In this college football podcast episode, we debate our contender tier with Penn State, Ohio State, Oregon and... Michigan (?), analyze the fascinating second tier among six quality teams, wonder which "weird little stinkers" might surprise us. Plus, we examine why this might be the most difficult conference to rank from top to bottom.
We explore Ty's bold Nebraska optimism versus Dan's skepticism, debate whether USC can finally finish games in the fourth quarter, wonder if Iowa's Mark Gronowski will bring his FCS magic to Iowa City, and talk through what the transfer of Nico Iamaleava means for UCLA. Plus, is Illinois fool's gold? Can Indiana make another improbable playoff run? Should we start a support group for Minnesota football fans? Will Northwestern finally get something from a transfer quarterback? Can Rutgers make a bowl? How far can the combo of Aiden Chiles and Nick Marsh take Michigan State? And what will Purdue look like with 69 new players?!
Consider this your starter pack for navigating the beautiful bulk that is Big Ten football in 2025.

We conclude our Big 12 preview series with our third and final installment, breaking eight more teams and their burning questions headed into 2025. These eight teams represent the conference's intriguing middle tier: Utah, TCU, Kansas, Cincinnati, BYU, Houston, Oklahoma State, and Colorado.
In this college football podcast episode, we break down Utah's offensive makeover with new coordinator Jason Beck and quarterback Devin Dampier, examining whether Kyle Whittingham can bounce back from his first losing season in over a decade. We dive into TCU's brutal schedule despite having one of the conference's best passing attacks with Josh Hoover, and debate whether Kansas can capitalize on the good vibes of their reopened stadium and another year of Jalon Daniels at quarterback.
We discuss Cincinnati's make-or-break year under Scott Satterfield, BYU's quarterback crisis following Jake Retzlaff's late departure, and Oklahoma State's rock-bottom 4.5 win total after Mike Gundy's worst season ever. Plus, we quiet Willie Fritz's steady rebuild at Houston and Colorado's fascinating next chapter without superstars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
Which programs will exceed expectations with new coordinators or transfer quarterbacks? Which will struggle with brutal schedules and roster turnover? And how will the unpredictability of the Big 12's middle tier shake up the conference (and playoff) conversation?
This is your deep dive into the Big 12's most compelling question marks.

We're back for the second part of our Big 12 preview episodes and taking a look at our top five and bottom three teams, highlighting the things we like and don't like about Arizona State, Kansas State, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Tech, West Virginia, UCF, and Arizona.
How much will the loss of Cam Skattebo hurt Arizona State's chances of another conference title? Is Avery Johnson ready to take the next step at Kansas State? Can Iowa State avoid the random disappearing acts? How much hype is too much hype for Baylor and Texas Tech? Which reboot is more interesting between West Virginia and UCF?

We dive deep into the Big 12 with the first of our three-part conference preview and break out all 16 teams into contender tiers, discuss the biggest storylines shaping the season, and use goofy metaphors, quotes and sounds to capture the delightful uncertainty that defines the league. From Arizona State's quest to repeat as champions to the transfer portal revolution reshaping rosters across the league, we unpack what makes this conference so addictively unpredictable.
In this college football podcast episode, we discuss why the Big 12 in 2025 feels like the ultimate chaos conference where almost anything is possible. We have a healthy debate over which teams belong in the top tier, with Arizona State and Kansas State leading the way, discuss the hype around Texas Tech and Baylor, and wonder if Iowa State can take the next step. Plus, we analyze the most meaningful coordinator changes at programs like Utah and Oklahoma State, examine rosters heavily influenced by the portal, and revel in the fact that nearly every team has at least at 35% change of reaching a bowl.
We also explore the post-Shedeur and Travis Hunter era at Colorado, debate whether Texas Tech's investment will pay dividends, and wonder if this is finally the year Kansas State breaks through under Chris Klieman. Plus, can Baylor's explosive offense carry them despite defensive concerns? Will Utah's new-look offense complement their traditionally strong defense? Can Kansas ride good vibes to 7 or 8 wins? And why does Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State feel like it's entered desperation mode?
Consider this your starter pack for navigating the beautiful chaos that is Big 12 football in 2025.

Welcome to the Wildcard Tier! In part three of our ACC preview, we tackle the unpredictable "meaty middle," featuring nine teams that could finish anywhere from 4-8 to 9-3.
In this college football podcast episode, we break down the Bill Belichick experiment at North Carolina and whether the greatest NFL coach of all time can translate his genius to college football. We dive into Florida State's must-win season for Mike Norvell with new coordinators Gus Malzahn and Tony White, examine NC State's coordinator overhaul and brutal schedule, and debate whether Duke has become the most reliable mid-tier team in the conference.
We discuss what it'd mean if Virginia Tech figures out how to finish in close games, Syracuse's Year 2 challenge under Fran Brown, and Boston College's intriguing pieces under Bill O'Brien. Plus, we take the temperature of hot seats at Cal and Virginia.
From "weird little stinkers" to teams that could totally reframe the national conversation, this is your guide to the ACC's most fascinating roller coaster of teams. Which of these nine wild cards will exceed expectations? Which will fall flat? And how will their chaos impact the conference race?
This is your deep dive into the craziest tier of the ACC.

Let's dive deep into the ACC's contenders and rebuilding projects in part two of our three-part conference preview. From Clemson's championship steam to Stanford's complete rebuild, we break down the teams at the top and bottom of the conference hierarchy.
In this college football podcast episode, we debate whether Clemson is the clear conference favorite and discuss whether Cade Klubnik can take the next step. We examine Miami's Carson Beck experiment and defensive coordinator change, make the case for Pitt as a sleeper contender, and discuss SMU's inevitable step back after their magical 2024 run. Plus, we dive into Louisville's massive roster turnover, Georgia Tech's potential as a dangerous spoiler, and why both programs represent fascinating wild cards.
We also look at Jake Dickert's fresh approach at Wake Forest and Stanford's complete overhaul with interim coach Frank Reich. Can Wake Forest find an offensive identity with Robbie Ashford? Will Stanford be competitive despite massive roster turnover? And which of these teams has the best chance to pull off an upset?
This is your deep dive into the most compelling storylines at the top and bottom of the ACC heading into 2025.

We dive into the ACC with the first of our three-part conference preview and talk through our contender tiers, the biggest questions and storylines driving the narrative, and use ice cream and video games as a metaphor for the way the league sets up. From Clemson's title hopes to Miami's untapped Playoff hopes, we unpack what makes this conference so damn fascinating.
In this college football podcast episode, we discuss why the ACC in 2025 feels like a grand experiment. We debate Clemson as the clear conference favorite, analyze the battle for second place and discuss Ty's surprise contender. Plus, we examine the coaching moves that will have an impact, from Bill Belichick at North Carolina to coordinator changes at Florida State, Virginia Tech and beyond.
We also explore the volatility of the middle of the ACC, with nine teams that could easily go 4-8 or 8-4, debate which quarterback transfers will make the biggest impact, and wonder if it's safe to feel this good about Duke football. Also, is this Virginia Tech's make-or-break year? Can Syracuse survive their brutal schedule? And why does every team seem to have a Texas State transfer?
Consider this your starter pack for navigating the beautiful chaos of the ACC football in 2025.

Our 2025 college football conference previews roll on, this time with the Mountain West and Conference USA, with a quick glance at the Pac-2. Armed with our trusty “Lorenzo Lamas Flaw Finder”, we unpack the top teams, key players, and storylines for the remainder of the Group of Five conferences as the season looms.

Did you know that Oregon State and Washington State are playing each other twice this season? Will Liberty's schedule eliminate the Flames from any CFP conversations? Can the 2021 playbook work for Western Kentucky in 2025? What should we expect from FBS newcomers Delaware and Missouri State?

In this college football podcast episode, Ralph Russo from The Athletic joins us to break down the complex College Football Playoff negotiations happening behind closed doors between the Big Ten, SEC and other conferences. Our conversation centers on how the number of SEC conference games is driving the debate, explores the Big Ten's push for automatic qualifiers, and examines why these meetings keep happening without real progress.
Ralph explains the power dynamics between Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey, why ESPN might not want playoff expansion, and how Brett Yormark is trying to wedge the SEC away from the Big Ten. Plus, the "reimagined" conference championship weekend, whether a breakaway league is possible, and why this feels like college football's most charged moment since the BCS era.

It's time for our annual NFL Draft preview! In this college football podcast episode, we welcome back Nate Tice of Yahoo Sports for an in-depth look at this year's class. Can Cam Ward's "jazz player" style translate to the pros? Where do Shedeur Sanders and Riley Leonard fit in this QB class? What trends are emerging while evaluating college tape? Who are Nate's pet players, and who are the "Purple Chips" in this year's Draft. Plus, Ty looks for advice for the New York Giants and Dan debuts "The Shania Line."
🔑 KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED 🔑
Draft Philosophy & Process
- How Nate Tice evaluates QBs (structure vs. out-of-structure play)
- The balance between athleticism and mental processing in QB evaluation
- "Day Two Dart Throws" and risk profiles for developmental QBs
- "The Shania Line" for various evaluating various position groups
Quarterback Breakdown
- Cam Ward: High ceiling, strong in-structure play despite unconventional style; likely QB1
- Shedeur Sanders: Ranked QB2 by default, concerns over processing speed and tools
- Riley Leonard: Viewed as a developmental QB with elite athletic traits and upside
- Tyler Shough: Older prospect (age 26), impressive arm talent, high risk/reward
- Kyle McCord: Strong in-structure, limited improvisation ability—"point-and-shoot" passer
Offensive Trends
- College defenses increasingly using cornerback blitzes
- More split-back formations and evolution in QB run schemes
- RPO innovation plateauing
- Certain college defenses mimicking NFL-style aggression, e.g., NC State using Cover-0
Offensive Line & Position Development
- Modern O-linemen are more athletic, less reliant on power
- Right tackles now viewed as nearly equal in value to left tackles
- Oregon and Florida praised for offensive line coaching
- Concerns persist about inconsistent O-line development across programs
Skill Positions
- Ashton Jeanty (RB, Boise State): Compared to Priest Holmes; exceptional balance, receiving skills, pass protection; a potential top-10 pick
- Trey Henderson (RB, Ohio State): Coach’s dream, plug-and-play reliability
- Receiver depth is strong; polished route runners emerging earlier
- Tight ends now being asked to do more NFL-style blocking and route work
Defensive Prospects
- Travis Hunter: Described as a "tiny Randy Moss"—dynamic as a corner, raw as a receiver but freakish athleticism
- Jihaad Campbell: Top LB prospect, rare skill set in today’s game
- Abdul Carter: Flashy pass rusher, needs polish in run game and consistency
Draft Trends & Tiering
- Few "generational" or "blue-chip" talents at the top; more depth than elite stars
- Many prospects are "green chip" players—solid but with one major flaw
- Possible record number of running backs drafted in top three rounds (projected 11+)

In this episode, we tackle the breaking news of Nico Iamaleava transferring from Tennessee after an (alleged) failed NIL renegotiation. Now, Nico’s looking for a new home, and the Vols are suddenly in the market for a quarterback ahead of the 2025 season. We break down what went wrong, where he might land, and whether Tennessee could turn its sights toward a Big 12 starter.
Later, John Kurtz from The John Kurtz Show and the Open For Business newsletter joins the show to preview Kansas State’s 2024 season, the development of quarterback Avery Johnson, and share broader thoughts on how the Big 12 fits into an increasingly chaotic college football landscape.

It's time for our April Q&A, driven by your questions. In this episode, we wonder when college football becomes too much like the NFL? What does Arch Manning need to accomplish to live up to the hype? How does the Bryce Underwood Hype Train compare to others? Who were the biggest losers with the new playoff format? What's your ideal overtime format? Which two coaches would you want with you on a deserted island? And, most importantly, do you consider mermaids to be humans or fish?

No April Fools' Day around these parts! We're back with latest news around college football, as Stanford has a new (interim) coach, Deion Sanders has a new contract, Coastal Carolina has a new concessions policy, and spring football has to wait another year to fully plunge into intersquad scrimmages. Plus, some early QB rumors at places like Michigan, Oklahoma and Alabama.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Stanford’s Coaching Carousel: Troy Taylor’s firing after allegations of misconduct leaves Stanford in flux, with GM Andrew Luck appointing Frank Reich as interim coach. We unpack the unique power structure at Stanford and what it means for recruiting and rebuilding the program.
- Deion Sanders’ Colorado Cash-In: Coach Prime secures a five-year, $54 million extension, making him the fourth highest-paid coach in college football. We debate whether Colorado’s portal-heavy strategy is working and if it can sustain success post-Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders.
- Spring Game Shenanigans: The NCAA shuts down Deion Sanders’ and Fran Brown's bid for a spring scrimmage, citing timing and recruiting concerns. We explore the idea’s potential to shake up spring football and why it might still have legs.
- Coastal Carolina’s Free Food Play: Coastal Carolina becomes the first FBS school to offer unlimited free concessions—hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, and drinks—to ticket holders. Is this a savvy move to boost attendance or a risky experiment?
- Gary Danielson’s Farewell: CBS announcer Gary Danielson is stepping away after 2025, with Charles Davis taking the mic. We reflect on Danielson’s SEC legacy and the changing soundscape of college football broadcasts.
- Quarterback Battles Heating Up: From Colorado’s Kaidon Salter vs. Julian Lewis to Michigan’s Bryce Underwood quick rise, Alabama’s three-way race, and Notre Dame’s CJ Carr, we dig into the spring QB buzz.

In this college football podcast episode, we dig into a very specific list of ailments for 10 college football teams. From Illinois’ third-down struggles to USC’s late-game woes, we diagnose teams’ glaring issues from 2024—including Wisconsin’s explosiveness, Colorado’s run game, Air Force’s slip—and their 2025 cures.
0:00 - Intro
6:11 - Illinois
13:14 - Wisconsin
20:12 - Colorado
25:41 - Kansas State
30:57 - Arkansas
34:23 - Texas Tech
41:59 - USC
49:35 - Virginia Tech
55:52 - Wake Forest
58:04 - Air Force
*Key Topics Discussed*
Illinois’ Third-Down Blues
Illinois shined in 2024, but abysmal third-down defense (100s nationally) left wins on the table—new DL transfers from Wisconsin aim to boost havoc and get off the field.
Wisconsin’s Explosion Deficit
Wisconsin’s offense fizzled (bottom 5 in explosiveness)—injuries (Tyler Van Dyke) and a mismatch with Phil Longo sank chunk plays; Jeff Grimes and Billy Edwards Jr could provide a spark.
Colorado’s Run Game Riddle
Colorado leaned on Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and a good crop of receivers, but its leading rusher ran for just 373 yards. Is Kaidon Salter’s dual-threat style in conflict with Pat Shurmur’s offense?
Kansas State’s Turnover Tangles
Kansas State’s Avery Johnson dazzled but tossed double-digit picks—turnovers (BYU, Iowa State) cost winnable games. Johnson's development should mean better results in 2025.
Arkansas’ Fumble Fever
Arkansas’ Taylen Green fumbled 8 times (lost 4) and threw 9 picks—fuelling a negative-8 turnover margin, which sank the Hogs in close games (Mizzou, Oklahoma State); ball security drills loom large.
Texas Tech’s "Slipnosis"
Texas Tech’s tackling woes (133rd in success rate) led to a low havoc rate and plethora of other black eyes for the Red Raider defense—new DC Shiel Wood and portal DBs/DL aim to steady a defense that leads the nation in returning production.
USC’s Killer Instinct Void
USC faltered in late game situations in 2024. Did Lincoln Riley reset the team's culture this offseason?
Virginia Tech’s Narcolepsy
Virginia Tech went 3-and-out on 33% of its drives in 2024—a shaky OL and banged-up Kyron Dones dulled the attack, Will Phil Montgomery as offensive coordinator and a battery of West Virginia transfers equal better consistency.
Wake Forest’s Line Woes
Wake Forest’s lines cratered in 2024—new HC Jake Dickert grabbed 22 transfers (7th in FBS), beefing up the OL/DL.
Air Force’s Possession Slip
Air Force’s formula (possess the ball, suffocate with defense) faltered in 2024 with 7 straight losses (Weeks 2-10) and a young defense that was exposed. Is Quentin Hayes the answer at QB?

Brandon wonders how a mid-pack SEC & Big Ten teams thrives in the NIL era—big personality or cash?

The ACC ain't dead yet! In this college football podcast episodes, we go inside the ACC's new deal with ESPN’s David Hale and discuss how Florida State and Clemson were are enormous winners, how Jim Phillips sold smaller schools on the idea of taking less money, what happens in the 2030s when exit fees are more managable, and more!
Key Topics Discussed
- The ACC’s New Money Split. David Hale details the ACC’s deal—60% of TV cash now ties to ratings, favoring Florida State and Clemson, while 40% stays equal; exit fees drop to $75M by 2030.
- FSU and Clemson’s Big Win. Florida State and Clemson came away with higher payouts and a cheaper exit with each passing season, giving them flexibility in the future. Also, schools like North Carolina and Miami benefit (and didn't have to drop millions in legal fees).
- Ratings Rule: A Trendsetter? The ACC’s ratings-based payouts spark debate—could Big Ten (Ohio State vs. Northwestern) or SEC (Alabama vs. Vanderbilt) mimic this model?
- 2030’s Looming Reset. The new ACC deal sets a 2030 exit fee at $75M, syncing with Big 12, Big Ten, and playoff shifts—David pegs a 25-33% shot at a football-only super league.
- Small Schools’ Survival Play. Boston College and other smaller programs took less money to avoid being left behind like Oregon State and Washington State.

Will Oregon’s young defense step up against teams like Penn State and Ohio State?

In this college football podcast episode, we reflect fondly on the players, teams, and happy circumstances that made the 2024 college football season so much fun. From Diego Pavia's folk hero status to Travis Hunter's two-way wizardry to an even wackier Big 12 than we initially thought, last season was one to remember. Plus, a quick chat through way-too-early top 25s from On3 and ESPN.

Congrats to the Ohio State Buckeyes, college football's newest National Champion! In this college football podcast episode, we talk back through Ohio State's big win, an outstanding game for Will Howard, an enormous game-clinching play for Jeremiah Smith, and the redemption arc for head coach Ryan Day. We discuss Notre Dame's late surge to get within striking distance, the impact of Riley Leonard, another huge game for Jaden Greathouse, and the curious case of Marcus Freeman's decision to kick a late game field goal. Plus, a chat about the takeaways from the first 12-team CFP, the way-too-early odds for 2025, and Ty's opportunity, after several years, to watch a big Notre Dame game with Mama H.

Plus, a look back at Boise State's win over UNLV and a quick look at the other Group of Five conference champions. And, of course, an impromptu College Football Playoff bracket projection. Will SMU or Alabama be the 12th team in the tournament?

In this college football podcast episode, we debate whether Iowa State can stop Arizona State's momentum, if Georgia-Texas 2.0 will look any different, the difference in playstyles between Clemson and SMU, the ways Penn State could pull an upset over Oregon, whether Boise State's offense has gone stagnant, and how this week's games will ultimately affect the College Football Playoff field. Plus, a disagreement over Tulane vs. Army, back-to-back Western Kentucky vs. Jacksonville State games, a shoutout to Tim Albin and Ohio, and a key matchup to watch in the Sun Belt title game. Oh, and Lehigh playing far away from home in the Kibbie Dome.

Surprise, it's an extra episode! College football changed its calendar this year, putting National Signing Day smack dab in the middle of Championship Week. In this conversation, we detail the key recruiting storylines for Wednesday's festivities with our good friend Brandon Huffman from 247Sports. How has recruiting changed in the era of the transfer portal and big money NIL possibilities? Which teams are over- and underperforming in the recruiting game? How much negotiation is taking place between recruits and colleges?

Let's get ready for Rivalry Week. In this college football podcast episode, we break down all the glory that Week 14 has to offer. Will Texas or Texas A&M make the SEC title game? Can Ryan Day break Ohio State's losing streak against Michigan? Will the Iron Bowl have more weirdness in 2024? Can Notre Dame seal its Playoff fate by beating USC? Will Arizona State take back the Territorial Cup? Plus, we wonder whether Diego Pavia has any magic left, if Syracuse can take down Miami, if Oregon can exact revenge, whether Kansas State can run its way to a Farmaggeddon victory, if South Carolina can win the Palmetto Bowl, and more.
