It's one of the biggest games of the Week 5 college football schedule: No. 7 Alabama heads to Starkville to battle No. 16 Mississippi State in a showdown of undefeated SEC teams, and we're breaking it all down LIVE! Both Alabama and Mississippi State enter Saturday at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play, setting up a fascinating quarterback matchup between Crimson Tide star Keelon Russell and Mississippi State phenom Kamario Taylor.

We dive deep into Alabama vs. Mississippi State, including how potentially rainy conditions could impact the game, playing and throwing in wet weather, memories of past rain-soaked games involving Alabama and Derrick Henry, and whether either offense will have to adjust its approach. We also break down the weapons surrounding the quarterbacks, including Ryan Coleman-Williams and Lotzeir Brooks, the battle in the trenches, Alabama's physicality, Mississippi State's explosive offense, blocking and offensive-line play, coaching adjustments and the biggest keys that could decide this SEC showdown. Plus, the guys give their score predictions and explain why they expect a competitive game in Starkville. Then it's time for more Week 5 college football picks and predictions, including:

THE Georgia Bulldogs assert dominance with a suffocating defense and a rapidly improving offense. Can Kirby Smart's squad power their way to another College Football Playoff run? The conversation focused on standout talents like Chris Cole, whose freakish physicality and versatility put him among the elite linebackers, and sophomore phenom Juan Gaston, described as one of college football's rarest physical specimens anchoring the offensive line.A key theme that emerged was Georgia's youth, speed, and violent run defense, complemented by GunnEr Stockton's veteran leadership at quarterback. Several points were raised, including concerns over Stockton's ability to layer throws under pressure and the Bulldogs' ability to adapt when facing elite secondaries. The discussion explored national rankings, breakout players like Nate Frazier, and the coaching prowess of Glenn Schumann. Can this well-oiled machine keep rolling all the way to a national title, or will injuries and offensive limitations create obstacles?Support us by supporting our sponsors!KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25.

Iowa vs. Ohio State is one of the biggest games of the college football season, and Two Guys break down exactly what the Hawkeyes need to do to stay with the Buckeyes at Kinnick Stadium. Chris Williams and Chris Hassel dive into the massive Iowa-Ohio State matchup, including Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State's loaded roster, the talent gap between the two programs, Hank Brown, Iowa's offensive game plan, and why the Hawkeyes may need to be much more aggressive than they were against Michigan. They also discuss Iowa's College Football Playoff chances with a win or loss against Ohio State. Can Iowa stay in the game long enough for Kinnick Stadium and the Hawkeyes' special teams to make a difference? Then the guys turn to Iowa State vs. West Virginia and a critical matchup for the Cyclones. They break down West Virginia's run-heavy offense, Michael Hawkins Jr., Cam Cook, Iowa State's defensive struggles against Utah, Aiden Flora's importance, and why the Cyclones need to get their explosive playmaker more involved. They also discuss Iowa State's offensive identity, Jaylen Raynor, tempo, play-action, and whether the Cyclones need to open up the offense after last week's loss. Plus, Matt Campbell's controversial comments after Penn State's loss to Wisconsin, the pressure at Penn State, Jamie Pollard's future, the biggest Week 5 games, and the guys' weekly locks.

Notre Dame is undefeated, ranked No. 3 in the AP Top 25 and firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation—but are the Fighting Irish truly elite? The Format Podcast breaks down Notre Dame football, the Irish résumé, Marcus Freeman's team, the national-title ceiling and the questions that remain before declaring ND a legitimate CFP favorite.

USC lost to Oregon and dropped to No. 18 in the latest AP Top 25, while the Ducks climbed to No. 15. On The Format Podcast, we break down whether the Trojans can still make the College Football Playoff, what USC must do in Big Ten play, and whether a single loss has changed the entire CFP equation. Is USC's offense still good enough to run the table? Does the Oregon result expose a gap between the Trojans and the nation's elite? We examine USC football, Oregon football, the new AP poll, Big Ten contenders and the playoff path ahead.If you want to support, every little bit helps!We appreciate SuperChats, or you can donate:CashApp: $TheFormatPodcastVenmo: TheFormatPodcast

Ole Miss suffered its first loss of the season in a 52–28 defeat at Florida, but is the season actually over? In this episode, Tre Williams looks at the Rebels' 3–1 start, what went wrong against Florida, and why one loss does not automatically eliminate Ole Miss from the College Football Playoff conversation. Topics discussed include: Ole Miss falling from No. 4 after the Florida loss Why the 302 rushing yards allowed to Florida are a major concern Whether opponents now have a blueprint for attacking the Ole Miss defense Trinidad Chambliss and the continued strength of the Rebels' offense Pete Golding and what must improve defensively during the bye week Why the LSU victory still matters to Ole Miss' résumé The difficult SEC schedule still ahead What an 11–1 finish could mean for Ole Miss Whether a 10–2 Ole Miss team could still make the College Football Playoff Why 9–3 would make the playoff path considerably more difficult How much margin for error Ole Miss has for the remainder of the season Why the Florida loss changed the conversation around Ole Miss without ending the season The Rebels have plenty of football left to play. The question now is whether Florida was simply one bad Saturday or the beginning of a bigger problem. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the first month of the season completed, Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt evaluates what we've seen on the field so far and predicts who will make the College Football Playoff in December, going through his Championship Game projections and all 12 seeds. Who does he see as the #1 seed? How many teams will come out of the Big Ten and SEC? Will teams like Ohio State and Oregon be able to overcome early-season losses and make the field? Will Texas, Georgia or Alabama miss out on the SEC Championship Game and a bye? Which teams currently in the Top 10 will miss out on the Playoff? Klatt also reacts to other results over the weekend and examines the trajectories for programs like Texas A&M and Wisconsin as well as a UCLA team that could make an Indiana-style playoff run. He wraps up the show by discussing the Senate passing The Save College Sports Act and explains what it could change for programs around the country.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about why the Trojans failure against the Ducks has now put this program in dire straights. We said the Oregon game was a must-win with serious consequences, and now it is up to Lincoln Riley to somehow try and bounce back, make a run against an extremely difficult schedule and make the College Football Playoffs. Saturday's contest wasn't just important because of the opponent, a former Pac-12 rival that USC recruits against often, it was also the first program with a pulse the Trojans faced, putting into question how good this team actually is.The crew also dives into the Desman Stephens suspension that head coach Lincoln Riley discussed on Tuesday. Riley said he met with athletic director Jen Cohen and decided that Stephens would be suspended for USC's game against Washington. They also talk about how the fanbase has responded to the disappointing effort against the Ducks. Supporters came out with tremendous energy Saturday in the Coliseum, but many have renewed doubts about the program and are back in "wait and see" mode as the season rolls on. What will the crowd look like against a struggling Washington team and what happens if SC doesn't sweep the road trip against Penn State and Wisconsin?Losing to Oregon takes a mulligan off the table for Lincoln Riley. That means each and every game will require the Trojans bringing something close to their 'A' game to even have a chance of finishing 10-2 and earning a spot in the CFP.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Can Iowa pull off another massive upset? Murph & Andy break down the Hawkeyes' huge win over Michigan and look ahead to Ohio State coming to Kinnick Stadium. The guys discuss why Iowa is playing with house money against the Buckeyes, whether the Hawkeyes can make the College Football Playoff even with a loss, and what exactly it means when an opponent gets “Iowa'd.” They also revisit Kirk Ferentz's comments about the formula behind Iowa's biggest wins and why last week's Michigan game was both quintessential Iowa and completely unlike a typical Iowa finish. Plus, the guys compare Jimmy Rogers' straightforward approach with former coach Matt Campbell, discuss Rogers' message to Cyclone fans after the Utah loss, and explain why Iowa State's game against West Virginia could be the biggest game of the season so far. They also talk WNBA playoffs and the A'ja Wilson-Caitlin Clark matchup, MLB's lack of attention during football season, Mr. Movie, the latest Big 12 basketball coaching rankings, and MORE!

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Rod Babers and CJ Vogel grade every Texas position group through the first four games and identify what must improve for the Longhorns to reach the College Football Playoff. The offense earns an overall C, with Arch Manning needing to elevate his play, the offensive line struggling to create movement and a talented receiver room still waiting to be fully unleashed. While the offense searches for consistency, Texas' elite defensive front has carried the program to a 4–0 start. The panel examines Colin Simmons and a dominant pass rush, Justin Cryer's emergence at linebacker and how Will Muschamp's pressure packages protect the secondary. With eight consecutive SEC games ahead, can the offense make the massive leap Texas needs to remain a championship contender? Thank you to our sponsor; Adam Loewy & The Loewy Law Firm!

Andy and Brenden shuffle teams around after the big weekend for the SEC. Are we giving the Raiders enough respect? They also talk College Football Playoff expansion.

September is almost over, which means we finally have enough evidence to start wondering who has actually taken a meaningful step forward, who has gone backward, and which teams are still making us wait for a real answer? We run through a wide range of teams that have changed the conversation around themselves over the first month of the season, including Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Iowa, UCLA, West Virginia and Missouri. Some have found new life. Others have made their early optimism much harder to defend. And a few are still sitting in the uncomfortable middle, where one good or bad weekend could change the entire read. We also catch up on the biggest news we missed after Saturday night, talk through the latest Verballer Top 12, and answer a few listener questions about College Football Playoff dark horses, how much head-to-head results should matter in the polls, and whether offensive continuity still means what it used to in the transfer portal era. Then, because we somehow forgot them on Saturday night, Dude Alerts return with the standout performances from Week 4. And, as promised, an extended cut of Reverbs for our esteemed Patreon community.

Is Keelon Russell vs. Kamario Taylor the BEST quarterback matchup in college football this week? We're LIVE on The Next Round with a loaded SEC football show as No. 7 Alabama heads to Starkville for a massive showdown with No. 16 Mississippi State — and two of the hottest young quarterbacks in the country will be at the center of it all.

Texas holds on in a rock fight against Tennessee. Arch Manning had some difficulty but his defense and Collin Simmons dominated the Vols offensive line. Simmons got unfairly attacked while Dylan Stewart at South Carolina has been suspended for his bizarre antics against Bama.

FOX Sports' Joel Klatt joins The Next Round to break down Alabama QB Keelon Russell, Florida's rise in the SEC, Texas' place among the conference's contenders and the biggest questions in the College Football Playoff race! Klatt is impressed with Alabama's offense with Keelon Russell pulling the trigger. What stands out about the Crimson Tide's young quarterback, and what could his development mean for Alabama moving forward? Plus, is Mississippi State more than just a September story, and can the Bulldogs keep proving themselves as the SEC schedule heats up? Florida's win over Ole Miss raises a HUGE question: Could the Gators be the best team in the SEC? Klatt shares his thoughts on Florida's statement victory and whether Ole Miss' defense gives Rebels fans real cause for concern. We also discuss a bold possibility: Could FIVE SEC teams be better than Texas by the end of the season? We get Klatt's perspective on the USC hit that knocked Oregon quarterback Dante Moore out of the game and the disturbing celebration that followed. That leads to a broader conversation about over-the-top celebrations in college football and other sports. Whatever happened to simply celebrating with your teammates?

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Shotgun Spratling, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about USC's massive matchup with Oregon. The No. 12 Trojans are 4-0 and coming off a lackluster performance on the road at Rutgers while the No. 20 Ducks are 2-1 and trying to put that surprising road loss to Oklahoma State in the rear view mirror. This is a must-win game for both teams, with Lincoln Riley needing to show that this program is capable of making the College Football Playoffs and Dan Lanning keeping the Ducks dreams of a national championship alive (and continuing their dominance on the West Coast). For USC, a win puts the rest of the Big Ten on notice that the Men of Troy are capable of taking down the top dogs in the conference. It also makes this Trojan team nationally relevant and a real threat to not only make the CFP but earn a higher seed with the potential to make a run. The crew talks about all of the off-season buildup to this game, analyzes some of the key matchups and gives updates on the injury situation for both teams. They end the show giving their picks, with USC a 3-point underdog at home to Oregon.This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

College Football Week 4 is here, and Saturday brings one of the biggest slates of the young 2026 season, loaded with massive SEC showdowns, ranked matchups and games that could reshape the College Football Playoff race. We're LIVE breaking down everything you need to know before kickoff!

Alabama football is once again at the center of the college football conversation. Ryan Grubb's comments about Crimson Tide fans, Keelon Russell's rapid development at quarterback, concerns about Kane Wommack's defense, the SEC's new nine-game conference schedule and a dangerous South Carolina matchup headline a loaded discussion. We start with the controversy surrounding Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who criticized the “boo birds” after the Crimson Tide fell behind Florida State 21-6 before eventually rallying for a 50-36 win. Grubb later apologized to the Alabama fan base. How should coaches and players handle criticism in Tuscaloosa, and how different is the environment under Kalen DeBoer compared to the Nick Saban era? The conversation also turns to Keelon Russell, who continues to show why his ceiling is so intriguing. Russell threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns without an interception against Florida State, and his development, accuracy, athleticism and command of Alabama's offense are becoming major storylines as SEC play heats up. Defensively, there are still questions. Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels threw for 377 yards on just 17 completions—an average of 22.2 yards per completion. Duce Robinson finished with 135 receiving yards, while Micahi Danzy, Jayvan Boggs and Samuel Singleton Jr. all produced explosive gains. Alabama did, however, intercept Daniels three times. We break down Kane Wommack's aggressive approach, the explosive plays Alabama surrendered and why those turnovers proved so important. Plus, the SEC has officially moved to a nine-game conference schedule in 2026. Is the tougher weekly grind ultimately good for Alabama and the league, or does it make the College Football Playoff path unnecessarily difficult? We debate the impact on recruiting, NIL exposure, television value and championship contention. Then it's time to preview Alabama vs. South Carolina. The Gamecocks enter Tuscaloosa at 2-1 after a 41-34 loss to Mississippi State in which LaNorris Sellers threw for 282 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Can Shane Beamer's team threaten Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium, or will the Crimson Tide's improving offense and deep running back room take control? We're also on location at Dancing Rabbit Golf Club at Pearl River Resort, home to the Azaleas and Oaks courses, with plenty of stories from the road along the way.
