Between The Oaks

Daniel (from a Holiday Inn) and Cody dive into college football’s new era of parity, including a fiery officiating rant after Georgia–Auburn and a fun “goal-line tech” idea. We preview Miami–Louisville, LSU–Vandy, Ole Miss–Georgia, Tennessee–Alabama, and USC–Notre Dame, then drop our full cards and Superdawgs (USC + Purdue). Tap in for sharp angles, laughs, and a loaded Saturday slate.

📝 Short Description (for Buzzsprout, Spotify & Apple Podcasts):
Daniel and Cody are back for Week 7 after a short break, diving deep into the wild world of college football. The guys roast Texas and Penn State for their stunning collapses, debate James Franklin’s future, and break down huge matchups like Alabama–Missouri, Georgia–Auburn, and Oklahoma–Texas. Plus, they drop their best bets, underdog picks, and even tackle a philosophical question about running up the score on Army. Packed with stats, laughs, and strong opinions—this is Between the Oaks at its best.

Daniel and Cody unpack a wild Week 4 and gear up for the best slate of the season. We hit the big swings—Arkansas–Memphis chaos, Auburn–Oklahoma officiating drama and OU’s nasty front seven, Indiana’s statement vs Illinois (apologies, Coach Cignetti), Miami’s trench dominance over Florida, and why Texas Tech looks transformed.

Then it’s on to Week 5: the Penn State Whiteout vs Oregon, Alabama at Georgia under the lights in Athens, LSU–Ole Miss with the Lane/Whit Weeks drama, Auburn at Texas A&M, USC–Illinois, and more. We outline how these games can actually be won—matchups, trenches, QB play, and where the explosives come from.

College football gave us everything this weekend—upsets, slugfests, and 70-burgers—and our Superdog picks both cashed. 🐶💰 Daniel and Cody break down how USF muscled past Florida behind Byrum Brown’s toughness, why Army out-possessed Kansas State late, and what made Oklahoma’s defense smother Michigan while John “Moneyline” Matier stole the show.

We hit the trenches with Iowa–Iowa State and the ugly-fun chaos of Ole Miss–Kentucky, talk Mississippi State’s cowbell-fueled win over Arizona State, and relive the double-OT thriller in Baylor–SMU (plus the wild stat lines and a uniform shoutout). Then we zoom out: young QBs struggling, why offensive lines matter in September, and what a one-window transfer portal could fix.

Finally, we tee up Week 3: Georgia–Tennessee, Clemson–Georgia Tech, USF–Miami, Florida–LSU, A&M–Notre Dame, Vandy–South Carolina, Ole Miss–Arkansas, Duke–Tulane, and more—who’s for real, who’s on upset watch, and where we see edges.
