THE FORMAT PODCAST

The Format Podcast breaks down a wild college football weekend as Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss shock Lane Kiffin’s LSU, 32-24, and surge to No. 4 in the new AP Top 25. Was Chambliss’ 363-yard, three-touchdown performance the biggest statement of the season? We also examine why USC’s 42-35 escape at Rutgers raises serious concerns despite its 4-0 record, and why Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford did not match the hype. Plus, we react to the latest college football rankings: Texas at No. 1, Ole Miss rising, LSU falling, playoff implications, overrated teams, and the biggest Week 4 debates.
