Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin give their reactions to Week 8 of the college football season. It was a thriller in Austin as Texas held on to defeat Ole Miss, giving yet another SEC team two losses. Texas Tech is no longer unbeaten as Cincinnati pulled off the big upset in historic Nippert. To cloud the Big 12 waters even more, BYU fell at UCF to leave the conference with one unbeaten remaining: Utah. Speaking of un-beatens, there aren't many. Miami dominated Pitt to remain perfect and UCLA cruised against Sparty. Shoutout Wisconsin for a major home win over USC, as the Luke Fickell doubters are quiet but the Lincoln Riley doubters are as loud as ever. What to make of the USC coaching situation and if the guys are feeling a change could be coming. A change was made at NC State after Stanford won on Friday, and Minnesota pulled off the upset over Iowa casting serious doubt on any chance the Hawkeyes had at making the dance.

Tennessee suffered a loss in one of the biggest results of the day, as South Carolina pulled it off thanks to several Tennessee penalties and mistakes, especially late. Tennessee is one of seven 2-loss SEC teams, including LSU who dominated Auburn. Both Tennessee and LSU have a bye before facing Kentucky and Alabama, respectively, on a loaded slate on November 7. Plus, full reaction from Indiana's win over Michigan, Alabama-Texas A&M, Vanderbilt-Kentucky, live reaction of Utah-Houston, Virginia Tech-Clemson, Oklahoma State-Colorado, Arizona-Iowa State, Northwestern-Rutgers, Cal-SMU, Boise State-Washington State, Oregon-Illinois and more.

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve recap a WILD day of college football including some of the most surprising results to date. The guys start with BYU knocking off Notre Dame in Provo, with Steve offering his thoughts after seeing the game in person. SVP explains how Bear Bachmeier proved him wrong and what BYU did well in the massive win. Miami hung on against Florida State in a game that saw some questionable officiating in the end, but Miami won and the Canes will likely be the new No. 1 team in the country on Sunday.

The most shocking result was Auburn taking down No. 1 Georgia in Athens. How did that happen? The guys break down Byrum Brown's performance, Gunner Stockton and more from the stunner in Georgia. Tennessee DOMINATED Alabama in Knoxville, as the defense and run game is legit. The guys discuss Alabama's skid and Tennessee's potential down the stretch, as well as ANOTHER Texas loss and what to make of the Longhorns, Ole Miss' dominant win, UCLA's low-scoring victory, Kentucky's road win at Oklahoma and more.

Ohio State beat Indiana but SVP was impressed with BOTH teams, as the Hoosiers will be fine. Finally, a word on the Big 12's depth, the ACC pecking order, Michigan benching Bryce Underwood, Northwestern's thrilling win, Steve Young on College GameDay and more.

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve are here to share their biggest takeaways from NFL Week 4. Starting in New Orleans, SVP and Steve share their experiences in the Big Easy honoring the Saints’ infamous punt block 20 years ago on MNF after Hurricane Katrina. SVP discusses how special the Domecoming scene was before the game and what it meant to talk with Steve Gleason, Trombone Shorty and others. The guys then get into the Falcons’ dominant win over the Saints, sharing takeaways from Michael Penix and Bijan Robinson’s performances. Three teams are 4-0, which one is the best? Why Stanford Steve thinks it’s NONE of them, and that the Jaguars have the rightful claim to the league’s best team through a month of ball. The Carolina Panthers are on the rise and Steve is waving the Bryce Young MVP flag. Too soon? Or is he finally emerging as a top-tier QB in the league. Penalties are at an all-time high across the league, leaving SVP frustrated and befuddled, and also nostalgic on what particular ref’s holding call gesture. Additionally, the guys talk the MLB playoffs, Georgia-Alabama, Tom Kim’s amazing win, the 0-4 Texans, how football used to be played in ANY type of weather and of course, Pooptown. | SVPod

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve recap the CFB Week 5 slate, discussing Alabama's dominant win over Mississippi State, Ohio State's win over Iowa, Missouri's drubbing of Florida and more. Plus, Steve gives a full recap from his experience in Iowa City, specifically the powerful interactions experienced in the Children's Hospital.

How GOOD is Keelon Russell and Alabama? Ohio State threw it to 4, which continues to be a good gameplan, as the Buckeys flexed their muscle and showed why they should still be considered one of the most dangerous teams in the nation. Missouri crushed Florida by 28 points for one of the biggest shockers of the day, as Austin Simmons is beginning to look like the quarterback many thought he would be. Minnesota got it done at home over Michigan for the first time in nearly 50 years, as the Gophers continue to prove why they're not an easy out. Kentucky remains a pesky team and picked up another huge win in Will Stein's first year as the Cats got it done on the road over South Carolina, pulling off the biggest comeback in UK history. Notre Dame avoided an upset in rainy Chapel Hill, Indiana and Georgia rolled, Nebraska put Maryland away in the 4th after the Terps had a big chance to build a dominant lead earlier in the ball game and USC found a way over Washington.

All that and more, including thoughts on Northwestern-Penn State, Texas Tech-Colorado, BYU-TCU, Tennessee-Auburn, Baylor, NC State, Wake Forest, Pitt-Virginia Tech and Houston-UCF. And last but certainly not least - what a performance from Yale's Dante Reno.

The guys then get into the biggest storylines from Week 3, including the Las Vegas Raiders big win over the Saints to improve to 3-0, Brock Purdy’s continued excellence as the San Francisco 49ers improved to 3-0, the bogus roughing the passer call on Chop Robinson in the Miami Dolphins’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Washington Commanders improbable win over the Seattle Seahawks, Drake Maye’s serious issues to start the year, the Atlanta Falcons’ dominant win over the Green Bay Packers, the Ravens-Cowboys and Rams-Broncos thrillers, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ potential and more.

How Iowa pulled off the walk-off win as Hank Brown tossed the game-winning score. Then onto Knoxville where Texas got it done in a place that is difficult to do so. SVP also adds his thoughts on Colin Simmons' controversial and penalized celebration. LSU and Georgia picked up blowout SEC wins but Oklahoma and Texas A&M... yikes. Florida delivered in The Swamp taking down fourth-ranked Ole Miss in a game that showed what the Jon Sumrall Gators are all about. And how about Wisconsin! The Badgers went into Happy Valley and pulled off the upset that the Badger program desperately needed. Oregon went on the road and defeated USC by two touchdowns in an emotional one that saw Dante Moore get knocked out of the game by Desman Stephens II, who celebrated after the fact. SVP and Steve share their thoughts on Stephens' antics...

Plus, Jake Dickert and Wake Forest proved Steve right with a big upset win at Louisville, Super Kamario Taylor kept his great season going as Mississippi State takes down Missouri, Alabama dominated South Carolina behind Keelon Russell, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State breezed past Illinois, Boise State and Cincinnati got good wins, Oklahoma State flexed its muscle late at West Virginia en route to a big win and Notre Dame and Miami continued to roll.

SVP and Stanford Steve Coughlin recap the Texas Longhorns miracle comeback over the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Oregon Ducks’ stunning defeat to Oklahoma State and more. Texas scored 21 4th quarter points en route to a program-defining comeback win. The guys break down the game from every angle, and Steve offers his takeaways from a first-person point of view as the Big Man was boots on the ground in DKR. Madness ensued earlier in the day, too, as Oklahoma State - who got wrecked by Tulsa in Week 1 - pulled off the unthinkable and knocked off Oregon, who has not looked good to start the season. What to make of Dan Lanning's group and QB Dante Moore, who struggled late against the Pokes. Michigan bounced back with a nice 17-10 win over Oklahoma in the Big House. The guys discuss what allowed the Wolverines to pickup the huge win and leave the Western Michigan fiasco a thing of the past. Additionally, Alabama blanked Kentucky 32-0 in the second half to easily get out of trouble in Lexington, Tennessee largely rolled to a stress-free road win over Georgia Tech, Mississippi State dominated Minnesota, Iowa won the CyHawk Game despite trailing early, Texas Tech held on in "mean" Corvallis, the ACC had a nice day, Steve's Big 12 prediction is looking better and better by the week, and the Dirty Terps kept vibes high in the Rent.

SVP and Stanford Steve are back to share their thoughts from Sunday and Monday’s CFB games and discuss what interests them most heading into this NFL season. Ole Miss edged out Louisville in a Sunday night thriller in Nashville. Are both teams just really good? The guys give Trinidad Chambliss props for his late-game heroics but also acknowledge that the Rebels defense could be shaky. And how about Lincoln Kienholz?! The guys also break down SMU’s win over Florida State and how Mike Norvell’s days are likely numbered… The NFL Season is upon us. But why an Australia game?? SVP has some teams he’s high on, including Baltimore, Dallas and others, while Steve is juiced for an early season Pooptown showdown. Additionally, SVP lists the teams who are submitting early paperwork for Pooptown, Steve unleashes a hot take on the Bills, and the guys list their top 3 CFB teams after Week 1. Plus, SVP’s kids are back to school, so it’s time to look back on what Sam and Charlie wanted to be as 4-year-olds. | SVPod

SVP and Steve react to all the biggest games and storylines from CFB Week 1. Starting with none other than the bizarre ending to Michigan-Western Michigan. Did WMU get screwed? How did the refs decide there was a second left on the lock? SVP gives his unfiltered take about one of the more shocking turn of events in recent CFB memory. LSU throttled Clemson, but who did it say more about? Is LSU THIS legit? Steve then goes into depth on his time in Baton Rouge the last couple days, including lots and lots of oysters. Additionally, the guys break down Keelon Russell's debut, big days from Iowa, Penn State, Maryland, Indiana and Florida, along with spending plenty of time on Oregon's nail biter over Boise State.

SVP and Stanford Steve are here to give their thoughts on various CFB storylines - including the recent AP Top 25 Preseason Poll release - ahead of the season and break down some NFL preseason games. Steve thinks Indiana is too low and the Hoosiers can do it again, and there also might be some former champs who could make noise in 2026 as well in the Big Ten. Week 1 isn’t great but Week 2 is loaded, and the guys give the games they’re looking forward to most just a couple weeks out. Optimism is easy to come by this time of year… is that what makes August great? SVP brings up the compelling case of why August might be one of the better months of the year. Plus, the Orioles are in the mix, Ty Simpson looked good in his debut, Cashmere Keith displayed phenomenal composure and SVP shares more insight into his progress on CFB 27. Finally, the difficulty approaching Arizona State sorority girls, various stories on why SVP was NOT a model student, a jellyfish update, thoughts on the Jayden Daniels situation, Super Bowl predictions, and Rest In Peace Skip Bertman. | SVPod
