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

2026/10/08

College Football Week 6 is packed with matchups that could confirm everything we think we know about the 2026 season, or force us to reconsider. We preview Georgia-Alabama in Tuscaloosa, where two SEC heavyweights face a major test, and Texas-Oklahoma in a Red River rivalry featuring plenty of questions about both offenses. Can Indiana keep rolling against an improved Nebraska team? Is UCLA ready to challenge Oregon in Eugene, especially with questions surrounding the Ducks' quarterback situation

2026/10/06

Five weeks into the 2026 college football season, the easy answers are disappearing. We unveil the latest Verballer Top 12, clean up a few things we missed from Saturday night, and then bring in ESPN’s Bill Connelly to help us figure out what we can actually trust as the season moves into October. How good is Missouri? What does the top of the Big 12 actually look like? Who belongs behind Miami in the ACC? Is there a clear second tier in the Big Ten behind Ohio State and Indiana? We also ask

2026/10/04

College Football Week 5 gave us another reminder not to get too comfortable with anything we thought we knew in September. We start with Missouri’s emphatic win over Florida and what it means for both teams after a month of wildly shifting expectations. Then we get into Alabama’s dominant performance against Mississippi State, another ridiculous day from Keelon Russell, Ohio State handling Iowa, and Northwestern’s statement win over Penn State in the debut of its new stadium.

College Football Week 5 is here, and a bunch of teams are trying to figure out whether the good vibes are real or just another mirage. We make our picks for Alabama-Mississippi State in Starkville, Ohio State-Iowa in Iowa City, Florida-Missouri, Miami-Clemson and a pair of fascinating Friday night games with Pitt-Virginia Tech and Penn State-Northwestern. Can Mississippi State prove it belongs in the SEC race? Is Iowa’s offense actually evolving? How much should we trust Florida after its

September is almost over, which means we finally have enough evidence to start wondering who has actually taken a meaningful step forward, who has gone backward, and which teams are still making us wait for a real answer? We run through a wide range of teams that have changed the conversation around themselves over the first month of the season, including Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Iowa, UCLA, West Virginia and Missouri. Some have found new life. Others have made their early

College Football Week 4 gave us the kind of Saturday that starts changing how the season looks. We start with Florida’s emphatic win over Ole Miss and what it means for a Gators team that suddenly has to be taken seriously in the SEC race. Then we turn to Oregon’s wild road win at USC, where an early injury changed the entire shape of the game and forced the Ducks to find a very different way to win. Iowa stunned Michigan at the gun, Texas stymied Tennessee in Knoxville, and several

College Football Week 4 is absolutely loaded, and we’re breaking down as much of it as humanly possible. We start with Texas traveling to Tennessee for its first true road test, then turn to Oregon-USC and a major prove-it game for both programs. Plus, why Ole Miss-Florida has all the makings of the mother of all letdown games, whether Michigan can create enough offense against Iowa, and what to make of Oklahoma State-West Virginia. Then we bring back the Quadfather to rip through the rest of

2026/09/22

Three weeks into the college football season, how much do we actually know? For our September Mailbag, we turn the show over to questions from the Verballerhood and try to figure out which teams have given us enough evidence to trust what we’re seeing. We talk Ole Miss, Texas, Miami and the ACC, then dig into whether early stumbles from the Big Ten and SEC could open the door for the Big 12 to land multiple teams in the College Football Playoff. From there, we get into some of the coaches who

2026/09/20

College Football Week 3 delivered the kind of Saturday that forces you to reconsider a few things in a hurry. We start in Oxford, where Lane Kiffin returned with LSU for a game that had been circled for months, and Ole Miss had a chance to prove just how much of the program survived his departure. We get into what the night told us about Trinidad Chambliss, the Rebels, LSU’s still-developing offense and where both teams fit in the bigger SEC and College Football Playoff picture. Then comes the

We make our picks for LSU-Ole Miss in Oxford, Houston-Texas Tech on a short week, SMU-Louisville in a massive ACC matchup, Florida State-Alabama, Mississippi State-South Carolina, Florida-Auburn and more. Along the way, we dig into which teams we actually trust, which early-season performances might be misleading, and where weather, travel and matchup problems could create some very

2026/09/15

Two weeks into the 2026 college football season, it’s time to challenge some of our preseason assumptions. First, we look at where we may have been wrong, or at least too confident, on teams like Oregon, Texas Tech, Illinois, Washington, BYU and more. Then, we revisit our AP Top 25 ballot and talk through the teams that may deserve more love, including Mississippi State, Houston, Tulsa, Virginia, Boise State and North Dakota State.

Week 2 delivered the first truly chaotic Saturday of the 2026 college football season. Texas erased a fourth-quarter deficit to beat Ohio State, Oklahoma State stunned Oregon in Stillwater, and Michigan leaned on its defense to win a rock fight against Oklahoma. We break down what Texas proved in its comeback, what went wrong for Oregon, and what Michigan’s win says about both the Wolverines and Sooners moving forward.

College Football Week 2 is here, and the schedule gets serious in a hurry. The biggest game of the weekend sends No. 1 Ohio State to Austin to face No. 4 Texas in a matchup that already feels like it could shape the College Football Playoff race. We break down the biggest questions on both sides, from Ohio State’s new-look offense and running game to Arch Manning, Texas’ defense and the small margins that could decide one of the best games of the entire season.

With most of Week 1 in the books, we go back through the games that deserved a longer look after Saturday night’s live reaction show. LSU’s demolition of Clemson is at the center of the conversation. How much of the result was about LSU looking immediately dangerous under Lane Kiffin, and how much should Clemson fans worry about a team that was physically overwhelmed? We also dig deeper into the fireworks between Ole Miss and Louisville, one of the most entertaining games of the weekend,

College football Week 1 started quietly and then completely lost its mind. Michigan needed a last-second miracle to survive Western Michigan, Oregon got pushed deep into the fourth quarter by Boise State, and Auburn escaped Baylor by a single point after stopping a late two-point conversion. We break down the biggest games, then zoom out to the teams and players that impressed us most, including huge performances from Miami, Alabama, Tennessee, USC, Pitt, Penn State and more.

We make our picks for the biggest games on the schedule and try to figure out which teams are actually ready for the moment across five days of games from Thursday night through Labor Day. How quickly can new quarterbacks and new coaches settle in? Can Clemson’s offense find enough answers in Death Valley? What should we expect from Auburn and Baylor in Atlanta,

College football Week 1 is finally here, but before we dive into our full preview and picks later this week, we're looking at the bigger questions that could start shaping the season as soon as the games kick off. Which performances should actually make us feel better about a contender, and what would qualify as an early warning sign even with all the usual disclaimers about overreacting in September?

College football is officially back, and Week 0 gave us plenty to chew on before the season really gets rolling. We start with North Carolina getting some revenge on TCU in Ireland, then turn to Virginia's emphatic win over NC State and a huge opening performance from Beau Pribula. How much should we believe after one game, and which results actually changed the way we see these teams? From there, we work through USC's somewhat misleading final score against San Jose State, Florida State's uneven
