Pat League Lightning Round

College Football Week 10 might be the biggest weekend of the entire 2026 season. Seven ranked matchups, massive College Football Playoff implications, and a Saturday schedule that barely gives us a chance to catch our breath. We're making our picks for all of it.

We start with the Holy War between BYU and Utah, then work our way through Texas-Missouri, Alabama-LSU, Oregon-Ohio State and Kentucky-Tennessee. Can Alabama's offense survive a trip to Death Valley? Is Oregon ready to spring an upset in Columbus? And can Kentucky keep finding ways to win?

Then come two monster night games. Georgia visits Ole Miss for a showdown with Trinidad Chambliss, while No. 1 Miami travels to Notre Dame for the latest installment of Catholics vs. Convicts. With the Irish facing a potentially defining moment for their playoff hopes, there's plenty to unpack before we make our predictions.

Plus, we react to the first College Football Playoff rankings, tackle the rest of the weekend's schedule with our Quadfathers picks, spotlight some under-the-radar matchups, and more.

And we're giving away a $500 Delta Air Lines gift card in this week's Run the Board pick'em contest. Sign up to play and support the show at https://www.verballers.com/join.

Mike Norvell is out at Florida State, and ESPN's David Hale joins us for a full ACC whiparound as college football's coaching carousel heats up.

We start with Norvell's firing, the massive buyout, and what comes next for Florida State. Then David Hale joins us to assess the Seminoles' coaching search, the surprising collapse at NC State, the future of Dabo Swinney at Clemson, and whether Bill Belichick is finally making progress at North Carolina. We also dig into Wake Forest's remarkable season under Jake Dickert, Miami's rise to No. 1, and the teams across the ACC that have exceeded expectations or fallen well short of them.

Then, with a monster Week 10 slate looming, we're winterizing 14 college football teams. What vulnerabilities need patching before the season's final stretch? We examine Alabama-LSU, Miami-Notre Dame, BYU-Utah, Texas-Missouri, Kentucky-Tennessee, Georgia-Ole Miss, and Oregon-Ohio State, identifying the weaknesses each team needs to address before the biggest games of the weekend.

Plus, a spirited discussion about the ESPN mobiler app, some lingering Halloween costume questions, and a little home maintenance advice nobody asked for.

College Football Week 9 delivered another round of upsets, close calls and big questions about the teams at the top of the rankings. Seven Top 25 teams went down, including Ohio State in an upset loss to USC, and we're back to sort through the fallout from another unpredictable Saturday.

We start with USC's statement win over the Buckeyes and what it means for both teams moving forward. Then, we turn to Georgia's impressive showing against Florida, Miami's narrow escape against North Carolina and the growing questions about how to evaluate the nation's top contenders. Is Georgia making the strongest case for No. 1? How worried should Miami fans be about their defense?

Elsewhere, Indiana finds another way to win, Texas Tech makes a statement against Arizona, and we dig into the teams that deserve more respect as the College Football Playoff race takes shape. Plus, more Week 9 takeaways, our latest Dude Alerts and a look ahead to an enormous Week 10.
