Ryan Day Is An Underdog To Steve Sarkisian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vegas is disrespecting Ryan Day heading into Saturday's massive showdown — and the numbers don't back it up. In this episode, we break down why oddsmakers have installed Ohio State as 1.5-point underdogs against Steve Sarkisian's Texas despite the Buckeyes being the reigning national champion and No. 1 team in the country. We cover Sarkisian's 0-5 record against Day and Kirby Smart since 2024, both coaches' track records against top-10 competition, and why the betting line doesn't match the actu
Steve Sarkisian Has Jeremiah Smith's Number (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeremiah Smith has torched nearly every defense he's faced — except one. In this episode, we break down Steve Sarkisian's history of containing the Heisman-contending receiver, holding him to just seven catches for 46 yards across two meetings with Texas, including a brutal one-catch performance in the Cotton Bowl semifinal.

In this episode, we break down LSU's 51-10 demolition of Clemson in Baton Rouge, a result Swinney himself called the worst loss of his 18-year Clemson tenure. We cover how thoroughly Kiffin's team dominated from start to finish, Swinney's brutally honest postgame comments, and whether this is finally the beginning of the end for his era in Death Valley. Topics covered: Dabo Swinney, Lane Kiffin, Clemso
Terry McAulay Doesn't Believe Kyle Whittingham's Extra Second (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kyle Whittingham's first game as Michigan's head coach ended in one of the most controversial finishes of the young 2026 season — and NBC's own rules analyst isn't buying the explanation. Michigan beat Western Michigan 13-12 on a 47-yard Hail Mary from Bryce Underwood to J.J. Buchanan, but only after officials put one second back on the clock following a review. NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay questioned the decision live on air, saying the ball was "not even close to touching a player when it g
