Sep 14, 2026
Season 4
Episode 6
Texas, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Virginia step into the spotlight after one of the wildest early-season weekends in recent college football memory. George Schroeder and Todd Unzicker break down the results that reshaped the rankings, challenged preseason assumptions, and made one thing clear: September chaos is here.
Texas’ stunning comeback against Ohio State leads the conversation. George and Todd discuss whether Arch Manning just had his true breakout moment and why Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns may be even better than the headlines suggest.
They also break down:
- Texas vs. Ohio State and Arch Manning’s fourth-quarter heroics
- Why Oregon suddenly looks vulnerable
- Michigan’s gritty win over Oklahoma
- Oklahoma’s offensive concerns
- Mississippi State’s road win at Minnesota
- Missouri’s Border War victory
- Why the Big 12 may be deeper than expected
- The changing balance between the SEC and Big Ten
The episode also previews a loaded Week 3 slate, including LSU at Ole Miss, Houston at Texas Tech, North Carolina at Clemson, Florida State at Alabama, SMU at Louisville, and West Virginia vs. Virginia in the Duke’s Mayo Classic.
