Week 7 served up some serious turbulence in the college football landscape — and Five Arms and a Lucky Fin is here to break it all down.

This week we witnessed Indiana’s statement-making road upset over No. 3 Oregon — a 30–20 win that not only marked the Hoosiers’ biggest victory ever over a top-five team, but also pushed them into uncharted territory in the national conversation. 

Meanwhile, in Dallas, Oklahoma came crashing back down to Earth, falling 23–6 to Texas in the Red River Rivalry, a game sealed by a 75-yard punt return touchdown. 

In this episode we’ll:

• Break down how Indiana pulled off the upset in Eugene
• Analyze Oregon’s collapse — what went wrong in their game plan
• Dissect Oklahoma’s struggles in Dallas, and where things go from here
• Discuss how these results shake up the CFP/Top 25 picture
• Hand out our Game Ball of the Week and Who’s Cooked?

Buckle up — Week 7 proved once again that nobody’s safe in college football.

From Indiana high school hardwoods to his D1 future, Justin opens up about what drives him, the energy in Noblesville’s locker room, and how he’s preparing to make an instant impact at Valpo.

Week 5 gave us absolute college football madness. Penn State’s legendary White Out turned into heartbreak as Oregon stormed into Happy Valley and left with the win. Georgia fans are sick of it — another year, another loss to Kalen DeBoer and Alabama. Bama owns the Dawgs, and Saturday was no different.

The chaos didn’t stop there: the #3, #4, and #5 teams in the country all went down, shaking up the playoff picture in a huge way. Meanwhile, the Indiana Hoosiers went into Iowa City, took every punch the Hawkeyes threw, and walked away battle-tested with a massive road dub.

And in Fayetteville, the Sam Pittman era officially came to an end after Arkansas’ loss to Notre Dame sealed his fate.

We break down all of it — the biggest storylines, the shocking upsets, and what it all means for the playoff race.
