Over the weekend, the Alabama Crimson Tide secured a 24-21 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia, ending Georgia's 33-game home winning streak. Alabama's quarterback, Ty Simpson, led the offense with 276 passing yards and two touchdowns. Georgia's quarterback, Gunner Stockton, threw for 130 yards and one touchdown. Running back Chauncey Bowens contributed significantly with 119 rushing yards and a touchdown, marking the first time a Bulldog surpassed 100 rushing yards since the previous year 

The game was closely contested, with Alabama leading 24-14 at halftime. Georgia mounted a comeback in the second half, narrowing the deficit to 24-21. However, Alabama's defense held firm, and the Crimson Tide emerged victorious, propelling them back into the top 10 of the AP Poll. How does Reese feel about the Crimson Tide?

The Oregon Ducks defeated Penn State 30-24 in double overtime over the weekend in a thrilling Big Ten matchup. The win propelled Oregon to No. 2 in the AP Top 25 poll, while Penn State dropped to No. 7

Pam, Hump and Alex discuss their Good Looks and Bad Looks on this Good Look Bad Look Monday. 

The Virginia Cavaliers defeated Florida State 46-38 in a thrilling double-overtime game. Florida State put up a strong offensive showing with 514 total yards — 258 through the air and 256 on the ground — but it wasn’t enough to overcome Virginia’s balanced attack. The Cavaliers totaled 440 yards, including 229 passing and 211 rushing.

The Duke Blue Devils dominated the matchup, rolling to a 38-3 victory over Syracuse. Duke’s offense exploded for 504 yards of total offense. Quarterback Darian Mensah was sharp, completing 22 of 28 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Was Syracuse's loss surprising?

The NC State fell to Virginia Tech in a close 23-21 loss in Raleigh. Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones had a solid performance, completing 20 of 34 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. On offense, NC State struggled to sustain enough momentum late. In total, the Hokies held them to 299 yards on 66 plays in the second half. Defensively, NC State was pressured into that final fourth‑down play, and Virginia Tech’s defense delivered the stop in the final minute to seal the win.

The Louisville Cardinals staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Pittsburgh Panthers 34-27. The win kept Louisville unbeaten and showcased their resilience on both sides of the ball.

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Shedeur Sanders' recent comments comparing his quarterbacking ability to that if his peers.

Shedeur Sanders is making headlines this week after confidently stating that he's “capable of doing better” than some current NFL starting quarterbacks, despite not yet seeing regular-season action. His comments appear to have rubbed some people the wrong way.

Sanders’ remarks have stirred debate, with some—like NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson—arguing that the Browns should release him and give him a fresh start elsewhere. Why is Sanders being criticized? Did he do something wrong? Is Sanders better than some NFL quarterbacks?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Seahawks win over Cardinals and ECU's win over Army last night.

The Seattle Seahawks pulled off a thrilling 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last night, thanks to a last-second 52-yard field goal by kicker Jason Myers. Quarterback Sam Darnold had a strong performance, completing 18 of 26 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks controlled much of the game but faced a furious late-game rally from the Cardinals.

Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray threw two touchdown passes in the final six minutes, tying the game with just 28 seconds remaining. However, the Cardinals made a costly mistake on the ensuing kickoff, committing an infraction under the NFL’s new kickoff rules. That penalty placed the ball at Seattle’s 40-yard line, setting up prime field position for a quick drive. The Seahawks capitalized on the opportunity, and Myers nailed the game-winning field goal as time expired. The win improves Seattle’s record to 3-1 on the season, while the Cardinals were left frustrated after nearly completing a dramatic comeback. Did you watch the game? What happened on the last kickoff? Are the Seahawks a playoff team?
