The Next Round breaks down a massive weekend of college football, starting with No. 1 Texas surviving Tennessee in Knoxville and the controversy surrounding Colin Simmons, Tennessee’s late onside kick and the Longhorns’ 20-17 win. The guys discuss Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning, Tennessee’s young quarterback and whether Texas truly looks like the No. 1 team in the country. 

Then it’s on to Georgia’s dominant win over Oklahoma, John Mateer’s struggles and growing pressure surrounding Brent Venables. Plus, Florida continues its rapid rise under Jon Sumrall, Jadan Baugh delivers another huge performance, and the Gators make their case as a legitimate College Football Playoff contender. 

The crew also reacts to Oregon’s 41-27 win over USC, the controversial hit that knocked Dante Moore out of the game, Dan Lanning’s postgame comments and mounting questions about Lincoln Riley and the USC program. Wisconsin’s comeback against Penn State, Iowa-Michigan and Indiana’s early-season performance also enter the conversation. 

Finally, the guys hit the biggest NFL Week 3 storylines, including Bo Nix and Denver’s comeback against the Rams, Drake Maye and New England’s struggles, the Cowboys’ late-game clock management, Justin Herbert and the Chargers, the undefeated Raiders and Houston’s 0-3 start.
