Ty and Dan scour an area twice the size of Texas in search for some lost-at-sea offenses, figure out if the distance between teams in big upcoming matchups (Florida vs. Georgia, Ohio State vs. Penn State, etc) are gulfs, bays, or lagoons, and then estimate the towing work needed to drag some very specific teams to bowl eligibility. And there’s a phallic salamander? A wrestler? Or something?

Under The Radar Games

Window of Opportunity

Patriot League Lightning Round

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.

Before we get there, Oklahoma heads to the Big House for a fascinating test against Michigan. How much should we read into Michigan’s shaky Week 1 performance? Can Bryce Underwood respond against a much tougher defense, and is Oklahoma ready to take advantage? We also dig into Arizona State-Texas A&M, Oregon-Oklahoma State, Arizona-BYU, Alabama-Kentucky, Tennessee-Georgia Tech, Iowa State-Iowa, Missouri-Kansas and plenty more.

It is one of those Saturdays where you may want to wake up, get moving and make sure you are properly prepared for what is coming. We make our picks, find the best under-the-radar games, lock up a few favorites and identify the window where you absolutely need to be in front of a screen.

College Football Week 2: Ohio State-Texas, Michigan’s Gut Check & Picks for a Loaded Slate

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/798adbd7-c286-4f0e-8074-b4c00161b897/transcript

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, and spend time on Notre Dame’s 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field. What should we make of the Irish offense after a sluggish start, how much can we learn from Wisconsin’s first half?

From there, we go rapid-fire through some of the other Week 1 performances that caught our attention, including Washington’s Apple Cup win and encouraging starts from Indiana, Florida, UCLA and Mississippi State. We also start looking ahead to a loaded Week 2, with Michigan-Oklahoma, Ohio State-Texas and several other matchups that should tell us much more about what these teams actually are in 2026.

LSU Looks Dangerous, Ole Miss-Louisville Fireworks & College Football Week 1 Takeaways

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 also ask which fan bases should already be freaking out, react to your Week 1 Reverbs, hand out Dude Alerts and start sorting through who should move up or down on our AP Top 25 ballot after the first real data points of the 2026 season.
