  • The Best CFB Show

    Josh I don’t know where else to send this, but I have a BOLD Prediction

    Texas will have 4 players with 10+ Rushing TDs in 2026

    Hopefully this earns a 9.5 or higher because I want a Chalice

    Thanks for all you do for the sport, getting ESPN to invest in it will be huge

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Week 8 Reaction Show + Coaches Fired & AP Poll Takeaways
Q: What do you make of the offensive coordinator firing at Oregon? Is he a scapegoat of a top five team having its playoff hopes ended by October, or is there more here?
Pate considers the firing a response to a failed hiring decision, but says Oregon's struggles also stem from offensive-line weaknesses, injuries, roster construction and other factors beyond the coordinator.
Week 8 Reaction Show + Coaches Fired & AP Poll Takeaways
Q: Do you think the terrible Wisconsin loss was enough for USC to pull the lever on firing Lincoln Riley?
Pate thinks USC would prefer to move on from Riley, but a large buyout may prevent it. He says a mutual parting of ways could be possible and that other programs may have interest in Riley.
Updated CFP Predictions + Week 8 Predictions & Bad QB Play
Q: Are you surprised with how many quarterbacks fell off this year?
Pate says he is surprised overall, but attributes much of the decline to roster instability, limited run games, and the fact that players do not necessarily improve every season.
Week 8 Upset Alerts + Hot Seat Updates & Viewer Guide
Q: Is there any way to match the madness from last year?
Pate expects fewer firings than last year, but says a coaching opening at Texas, USC, or Michigan could set off a chain reaction across the sport.
Jayden Daniels vs LSU + JP Poll Debut & Teams On The Clock
Q: How do you balance the need to win now with sustaining long-term program health and culture?
Campbell emphasizes non-negotiables, accountability, and a team-first mindset, arguing that sustainable success comes from consistently upholding standards and not chasing short-term wins at the expense of culture.
