Pat League Lightning Round

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 breakout win over Ole Miss? And can Clemson make things uncomfortable for Miami under the lights in Death Valley?

Then we work through the rest of the Week 5 slate with Michigan-Minnesota, Notre Dame-North Carolina, Auburn-Tennessee, Virginia-Florida State, Louisville-NC State, Kentucky-South Carolina, BYU-TCU, Washington-USC, Baylor-Arizona State and more. Plus, our Locks of the Week, the Quadfathers, Under-The-Radar games and a very important discussion about finding water.

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.

College Football Week 9 Reactions: USC upsets Ohio State, Indiana & Miami Survive + Georgia Dominates the Cocktail Party

College Football Week 9 has the look of a quiet weekend before the November madness begins, but we're not buying the idea that everything will go according to plan. With quarterback injuries, vulnerable contenders, tricky road games, and conference races getting tighter, there's plenty that could go sideways.

In this college football podcast episode, we preview the biggest games of Week 9 and make our picks against the spread. We start with Arizona traveling to Texas Tech, where the Red Raiders are trying to recover from a disappointing loss to Cincinnati. Can Texas Tech get back on track, or is Arizona capable of making things even more complicated in the Big 12?

We also dive into Georgia-Florida and Ohio State-USC, two games with very different kinds of intrigue. Can Florida make life uncomfortable for Georgia? How much does Ohio State's quarterback situation change the equation against a USC team with plenty of questions of its own? And what should we make of Oregon as the Ducks prepare for another challenging Big Ten matchup?

Then we shake up our usual Quadfather format with a draft of the most interesting games from each Saturday viewing window. We explore potential upsets, intriguing matchups, and teams that might be running out of answers as the College Football Playoff race heats up. Plus, Dan unveils his wonderfully ridiculous nickname for Week 9, we discuss Halloween logistics, and we close with our weekly locks.
