Dave Aranda Fired, Oregon Makes a Change & Bill-toberfest Finale
The college football coaching carousel is picking up speed, and we've got another round of major changes to unpack. Dave Aranda is out at Baylor, Drew Mehringer has been dismissed as Oregon's offensive coordinator, and the speculation surrounding openings at NC State and Maryland is getting more interesting by the day. We discuss what went wrong, where these programs go next, and which names could emerge as potential replacements. Then, it's our final installment of Bill-toberfest! ESPN's Bill Connelly joins us to make sense of a college football season that refuses to settle down. Which contenders are for real? Are there warning signs for Indiana? Is Miami as good as its record suggests? How interesting is the middle of the Big 12? And how chaotic could the SEC's championship and College Football Playoff races become? We also dig into Kentucky's surprising success, Georgia and LSU's championship prospects, Utah's ceiling, Arizona's emergence, and the teams whose underlying numbers tell a different story from their records. Plus, Bill reveals how this unpredictable season has influenced his SP+ model.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

College Football Week 8 Reactions: The Big 12's Bad Day, Ole Miss Stumbles & Nobody Looks Safe
College Football Week 8 delivered another round of chaos, with major upsets, shaken playoff contenders and an increasingly difficult question: Who can we actually trust? We start in the Big 12, where BYU and Texas Tech both went down in stunning fashion. Just when it looked like the conference was establishing a clear hierarchy, UCF and Cincinnati threw everything into question. What do these losses mean for the Big 12 championship race and the College Football Playoff picture? Elsewhere, Miami continued making its case as the best team in the country, Indiana survived an ugly battle with Michigan, and Oregon suffered another frustrating defeat. Is Miami the only truly elite team in college football? And has the Big Ten taken a bigger step backward than anyone anticipated? In the SEC, Texas survived a wild finish against Ole Miss, LSU continued its ascent, Alabama got past Texas A&M, and Tennessee stumbled against South Carolina. We dig into which SEC contenders are gaining momentum, which teams still have serious questions to answer, and whether the conference's playoff picture is finally coming into focus. Plus, we run through the rest of Week 8's most interesting results, check in on fan sentiment around the country, and wrestle with a new AP Top 25 ballot after another weekend that turned the rankings upside down.

College Football Week 8 Picks: Houston-Utah, Texas on the Brink & Michigan's QB Gamble
College Football Week 8 might not have the biggest headliners of the season, but after another wild Saturday, there are plenty of opportunities for things to go sideways. Which teams can build on emotional wins, which ones are heading for a letdown, and which supposed contenders are running out of answers? We make our picks for Ole Miss at Texas, Indiana at Michigan, LSU at Auburn, USC at Wisconsin and Houston at Utah. Can Texas fix its sputtering offense against a surging Ole Miss team? How does Michigan's quarterback change affect its chances against Indiana? And is Utah ready for its toughest test yet? We also discuss Julian Sayin's injury and what it could mean for Ohio State's Big Ten and College Football Playoff hopes, plus the coaching change at Maryland. Then we go window by window with our Quadfather picks, including Tennessee-South Carolina, Texas A&M-Alabama, BYU-UCF, Texas Tech-Cincinnati and plenty of games beyond the marquee matchups. There's a particularly bold upset pick, a late-night showdown between North Dakota State and New Mexico, and an under-the-radar game whose abbreviated name practically writes its own jokes.

College Football's QB Chaos + October Q&A with Bill Connelly
After a wild Week 7, we're back with ESPN's Bill Connelly to make sense of a college football season that keeps getting stranger. With five of the top seven teams losing and quarterback questions piling up across the country, is there actually a great team in college football right now? We dig into the fallout from Julian Sayin's injury at Ohio State, the struggles at Penn State under Matt Campbell, and the increasingly fascinating Big 12 race between BYU, Texas Tech and Utah. Plus, Bill weighs in on the Group of Six playoff picture, the Heisman race, and which teams might be better than their records suggest. Then we tackle more of your questions, revisit some preseason expectations with a little trick-or-treat, and identify the teams lurking in the shadows that could turn November upside down.

College Football Week 7 Chaos: Georgia Falls, BYU Shocks Notre Dame & Ohio State Survives
College football's Week 7 was absolute madness. Eight ranked teams lost, including Georgia, Notre Dame, Indiana, Alabama and Texas, leaving us with a completely scrambled AP Top 25 and a whole lot of questions about who's actually good. We react to Auburn's stunning upset of No. 1 Georgia, Tennessee's dominant win over Alabama, Florida's comeback against Texas and BYU's statement victory over Notre Dame. Plus, Ohio State survives a top-five showdown with Indiana, but a potentially significant injury to Julian Sayin raises serious questions about the Buckeyes' future. We also dig into Miami's wild double-overtime escape against Florida State, Ole Miss's impressive performance against Missouri, Kentucky's continued rise, Texas Tech's demolition of Arizona State and Michigan's quarterback change against Penn State. And yes, Ty has some feelings. Then we try to make sense of the new college football rankings, debate whether the SEC is really a gauntlet, check in with fans around the country and hand out our Week 7 Dude Alerts.

College Football Week 7 Picks: Ohio State-Indiana, Notre Dame's Big Test & A Saturday Safari
College Football Week 7 is here, and the schedule is absolutely loaded. We've got top-five showdowns, historic road trips, heated rivalries and a Saturday where survival might be the name of the game. We're making our picks for more than 20 matchups, and things could get wild in a hurry. We start with Ohio State at Indiana in a massive Big Ten showdown. Are the defending champion Hoosiers still the team to beat, or can the Buckeyes expose some cracks? Then it's Notre Dame at BYU for a historic top-10 matchup in Provo. Can the Cougars turn their home-field advantage into something special, or will Notre Dame's increasingly dangerous offense be too much? We also break down Alabama-Tennessee, Missouri-Ole Miss, Mississippi State-LSU and Oklahoma State-Houston, with some strong opinions and a few surprising predictions along the way. Then we work our way through a packed Saturday schedule, including Florida-Texas, Penn State-Michigan, Kentucky-Oklahoma, Florida State-Miami and Nebraska-Oregon. We debate which favorites are vulnerable, which underdogs have a fighting chance, and which games could get downright ugly. Plus, our Locks of the Week, under-the-radar games worth watching, and a new Saturday nickname inspired by the animal kingdom.

Fan Bases in Hell + College Football's Biggest Surprises with Bill Connelly
Dan is back, and after Oregon's stunning loss to UCLA, we've got some questions about which college football fan bases are having the roughest time in 2026. Is Oregon's disappointment worse than what Texas A&M and Michigan fans are experiencing? Where do Oklahoma, Arkansas and NC State fit on the misery scale? We debate the difference between a frustrating season and one that leaves a fan base looking for an entirely new direction. Then ESPN's Bill Connelly joins us for another celebration of Billtoberfest, this time to call out the teams giving their fans reasons to believe. How real is undefeated UCLA? Can Kentucky keep winning close games under Will Stein? What's changed at Wake Forest, and how much should we trust the sudden rise of Purdue and Northwestern? We also get into Utah, Oregon State and other surprising stories, along with the underlying numbers that might challenge what we're seeing on Saturdays. Plus, we react to the new Verballer Top 12, revisit more of the wildest moments from Week 6 and look ahead to a massive Week 7 slate, including Ohio State vs. Indiana and Notre Dame vs. BYU.

College Football Week 6 Reactions: Oklahoma Shocks Texas, Oregon Implodes & Georgia Takes No. 1
College football Week 6 delivered a little bit of everything, including a new No. 1 team, a stunning upset in the Red River rivalry, and another brutal Saturday for Oregon. With Dan away, Ty welcomes Tim Murray from VSiN to sort through the biggest results and what they mean for the rest of the season. We start with Oklahoma's win over Texas and the questions surrounding the Longhorns' offense, then turn to Georgia's hard-fought victory at Alabama and the race for the top of the AP poll. UCLA's upset of Oregon raises even bigger questions about the Ducks, and Dan checks in from the wedding with his own reaction. Plus, Indiana escapes Nebraska, Kentucky pulls off another overtime thriller against LSU, and we try to figure out which teams are actually moving in the right direction. We also hit USC's win at Penn State, Missouri's rout of Texas A&M, Florida's sudden slide, Wake Forest's rise in the ACC, and Oregon State's impressive run. Then it's your Week 6 Reverbs, Dude Alerts, and a spirited debate over Ty's preliminary AP Top 25 ballot.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
