The Laykshow

On this weeks episode, I dive into the closing weeks of the College Football season and the approaching back end of the NFL season. In college football with the conference championships nearing, the SEC, Big10, ACC, and Big12 all look to have crazy finishes. In the ACC...No. 4 Miami suffers their first loss of the season as Georgia Tech upset the Cam Ward led Hurricanes 28-23. Due to Pitt losing the Hurricanes still control their own destiny to make the college football playoff if they win out and win the ACC Title...can they run the table? Georgia with struggling offensive line and Carson Beck playing poorly fall to Ole Miss 28-10. Still in the mix but will need help going forward the SEC has a multitude of teams that can make the conference title game, Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Georgia...Who will rep the SEC? Alabama gave LSU the belt 42-13 behind Heisman Hopeful Jalen Milroe with his 185 rushing yards and 4 rushing TDs...has Bama Hit their groove finally?
The NFL is shaping up to be interesting...The Chiefs survive again despite Mahomes paying horrible this year, Kansas City blocks Denvers last second field goal to remain unbeaten at 9-0. The Steelers walked into Washington and slowed down the high powered Jayden Daniels offense. Pittsburgh held on 28-27 and are first in the AFC North heading into conference play. Dallas has become a mess...with Dan Prescott having season ending surgery the Cowboys are falling into mediocre category. All this is due to Jerry Jones and failing to put together a competent roster to surround the playmakers he already has. All this and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode I dive into more College Football and NFL action as we enter November. Election Day and the first release of the College Football Playoff Rankings! Ohio State walked out of Happy Valley with a ranked road win over Penn State for the 8th year in a row, Miami jumps to their highest ranking since 2017 and look to push their way through the ACC, and Georgia hangs on late against a scrappy Florida Gators team. We are in for a wild finish to the season as we approach the end of the 2024 regular season. Who will the top 12 be in committees first college football playoff rankings? Teams like Oregon, Ohio State, Miami and Georgia look to see where they will fall later tonight when the playoff committee releases their rankings, and other teams that were upset this past weekend like Clemson, Iowa State, and Texas A&M look to see if there is still possibilities to make a run for one of the 12 spots in this years College Football Playoff. The NFL enters the mid way point of the season and a few teams have already started to separate themselves from the pack and others have shocked the NFL world with how well they are playing. All this and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode, College Football heads into November and the 12 Team Playoff is drawing closer with the Conference Championship Games right around the corner. The Miami Hurricanes and Florida State renewed their Rivalry as the Hurricanes Dominate the Seminole 36-14 behind 200 yards rushing by the Canes. Mario Cristobal sends a message to future recruits that Miami is coming back and he gets his statement win against the hated rival. Ohio State survives Nebraska 21-17...the same Nebraska that got blown out by 50 to Indiana a week ago. With injuries on the o-line and tougher games ahead, how will the Buckeyes respond especially this weekend as they travel to Penn State? Texas A&M is 5-0 for the first time in SEC play and currently lead the conference after their dominating win over #8 LSU. Will A&M continue their impressive win streak? The Longhorns survive Vanderbilt 27-24 despite quarterback Quinn Ewers throwing 2 interceptions. Is it time for Texas to put Arch Manning in full time?
The NFL is shaping up for a great season, about the midway point now, the chiefs despite Mahomes paying poorly are now 7-0 and remain the only undefeated team in the NFL. The Lions continue their dominance with a 52-14 win over the Titans. Is Detroit bound to be the NFC's representative in the Super Bowl? And despite outplaying the Bears the Commanders found themselves trailing to the Bears but Jayden Daniels had other plans....Converting a Hail Mary on the games final play to shock Chicago which may have had the worst coaching blunder the entire second half in NFL history. Is it time to clean house in Chicago to preserve the growth of rookie Caleb Williams? All this and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode, DOWN GOES TEXAS, DOWN GOES BAME!!! Massive Upsets in college football this past weekend as Georgia walked into Austin and handed the top ranked Longhorns their first loss of the season 30-15. Tennessee put themselves back into the AP Top 10 with an impressive come from behind against Alabama, handing the crimson tide their second loss in three weeks. As the college football season heads to the back end, how will the SEC shape out? Is Bama out of the playoff contention? Will Texas claw their way back? Time will tell. The Miami Hurricanes led by Cam Ward continue their undefeated season after a shootout win against Louisville 52-45. And Clemson handles business against Virginia 48-31. The ACC is shaping up to be a clash between Miami and Clemson at the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. What will come at the end of the year? MADNESS. The 12 Team Playoff Selection Sunday should be filled with exactly that...MADNESS. 
In the NFL Russel Wilson got his first start against the Jets and did not disappoint, throwing for over 260 Yards and 2 Total TD's. Pittsburgh scored 37 points, the most since the 2021 season, have the Steelers found the formula to continue to win games going into the mid way point of the NFL Season? The Chiefs remain the only undefeated team up to this point despite looking terrible on offense and Patrick Mahomes struggles, and the Detroit Lions hand the Vikings their first loss of the season...have the Lions set themselves apart in the NFC? All that and more on this weeks episode! 

On this weeks episode I dive into the most hyped weekend of College Football. Oregon v. Ohio State, USC v. Penn State, Alabama v. South Carolina, Tennessee v. Florida, and the Red River Rivalry Texas and Oklahoma. This week has been circled on a lot of college football fas calendars and it did not disappoint. Penn State won a thriller in Overtime against USC, Texas gave the Sooners the Belt, South Carolina nearly upset Alabama, Florida took Tennessee to the brink in overtime but came up short. and the big game of the week, Oregon wins a thriller against Ohio State 32-31. With all the crazy endings happening in the Big 10 and the SEC the 12 team playoff is going to be madness at the end of the year!
In the NFL, Pittsburgh rebounds against the Raiders 32-13 but even though the performance and score say one thing, the game itself was uneventful regarding Pittsburghs offense. Najee Harris finally had 100 years rushing performance but the rest of the Steelers offense looked inept. Pittsburgh has yet to put together a game where the rushing and passing attacks are in sync. The Dallas Cowboys got boat raced out of their home stadium by the Detroit Lions 47-9. Despite the injury to Aidan Hutchinson, the lions have started to hit their stride and have the most dominant O-Line and rushing attacks in the league led by David Montgomery and Jamyr Gibbs. Jared Goff still leads the charge and Detroit is making their case to be the team to beat in the NFC. All this and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode, I dive into the Madness that happened in week 6 of the College Football Season. #1 Alabama stunned by Vanderbilt, #4 Tennessee upset by Arkansas, #10 Michigan loses National Title Rematch to Washington, #9 Mizzou gets the belt by Texas A&M, and #11 USC gets shocked by Minnesota, and to cap it all off, Cal had a 25 point lead over the #8 Miami Hurricanes, but Cam Ward led a miraculous comeback to win 39-28 and move the Canes to 6-0 and the #6 spot in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.
After a slow 2-3 start to the Season, The New York Jets have fired head coach Robert Saleh, but was this the right move to make? The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Dallas...without Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, no run game, and a  struggling Dak Prescott score a go-ahead touchdown in the final seconds to shock Pittsburgh 20-17. Where do the Steelers go from here? All on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode, I dive into the next recap of the College Football and NFL season. Friday Night....Controversy reared its ugly head in the #8 Miami Hurricanes v. Virginia Tech game. Was the final play a touchdown or was it an incompletion? Called Touchdown on the field was later overturned after video review. A tough call all the way around it went in favor of the Canes...Miami wins 38-34. Alabama and Georgia lived up to the hype in the end, early on Jalen Milroe and the Tide jumped to a 28-0 lead. Georgia clawed back to take a lead late in the 4th but Milroe to freshman sensation Ryan Williams put the Tide back on top and survived the Dawgs 41-34. Kentucky Marched into Ole Miss and upset the #6 ranked Rebels beating Ole Miss at their place for the first time since the 70's. Who is the top of college football after week 5? I give my first "Laykos List" for my top 10 teams after week 5.
In the young NFL season despite the Steelers losing to the Colts 27-24, Justin Fields had arguably his best Game as a pro throwing for over 300 yards 1 TD and rushing for another 2. Have the Steelers turned a corner on offense after years of incompetence? The Eagles fall to the Buccaneers again 33-16 and Jalen Hurts has been playing poorly. Since the departure of Shane Steichen Jalen Hurts leads the NFL in turnovers and Saquon Barkley is the only one providing offense for Philly. Cleveland is in trouble again with another subpar performance by Watson...but is it really all his fault? Cleveland leads the NFL in drops this season as Cleveland drops their second straight game to the Raiders. All that and more on this weeks episode.

On this weeks episode I go over week 4 in college football and week 3 in the NFL. College football is shaping up to be one for the ages with all the teams that are going to be in the mix for the 12 Team College Football Playoff. After taking Alabama to the brink a few weeks ago, USF looked to shock college football against another top 10 team in the Miami Hurricanes. Trailing 22-15 at half time, the Bulls were in position to make it a game.......which did not happen. Cam Ward and Miami went on to score 28 unanswered points in the second half to route the Bulls 50-15. Cam Ward continues his push for the Heisman trophy after a 400 years performance. Arch Manning in his second career start showed out and led Texas to a 51-3 win over UL Monroe. Texas is stamping themselves as the best team in college football. With Quinn Ewers still recovering from injury, the Texas Offense has not skipped a beat with Manning under center. In the NFL Justin Fields continues his impressive start in Pittsburgh beating the Chargers 20-10 in Pittsburgh. The Dallas Cowboys fail again to stop the run as the Ravens went into Jerry World to get their first win 28-25 putting over 200 yards rushing as a team together. And Caleb Williams is still showing flashes but the offensive line still hinders any progress Caleb is making....through the first 3 weeks of his NFL career, Williams has already been sacked 13 times and is running for his life in the backfield. Signs show exactly what the issue was when Fields was at the helm in Chicago...a terrible Offensive Line. All this and more of this weeks episode.

On this weeks episode I dive into another weeks recap of College Football and NFL Football. FSU falls to 0-3 after their loss to Memphis at Home, the Gators drop to 1-2 after a home loss to Texas A&M. The Georgia Bulldogs narrowly survive Kentucky 13-12...Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide pile drive Wisconsin 41-10...Miami continues to flex with a 62-0 win over Ball State...and Arch Manning steps in for an injured Quinn Ewers and Balls Out. Texas is now ranked #1 in the nation, for the first time since the 2008 season with Colt McCoy. Does Quinn still have the Job or is it now time for the Arch Manning Show? The NFL was full of upsets and blowout wins in week 2, The Pittsburgh Steelers with Justin Fields beat the Broncos and move to 2-0 despite only scoring one offensive touchdown so far this year. Through the first 2 weeks, rookie QB's have thrown for a total of ZERO touchdowns and have thrown 6 interceptions. Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and Jayden Daniels are learning real quick how different of an animal the NFL is compared to College. And the Dallas Cowboys suffer another brutal home loss in embarrassing fashion...losing to the New Orleans Saints 44-19. But the biggest story in the NFL is the issue with Miami Dolphins Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who suffered another concussion on a scramble and collision with Bills safety Demar Hamilin. This being Tuas 4th concussion in as many years even when he was back at Alabama...the question lingers should Tua call it a career? Time will tell what Tuas future holds as CTE and concussions are the most serious injury in football across all levels. All this and more on this week's episode!

On this weeks episode I dive into a recap of Week 1 of the NFL season and a recap of Week 2 in College Football. With football season in full swing there are no shortage of stories to talk about and games to discuss. In week 2 of college football we saw Northern Illinois travel to South Bend Indiana to take on the 5th ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish......and win! RANKED 5TH IN THE NATION, The Irish came up short to Northern Illinois 16-14. One of the biggest upsets of the year and recent memory, where does Notre Dame go from here to make the CFB Playoff? How Good Really is Shedeur Sanders? Because he is only showing how overhyped he is right now after a terrible performance against Nebraska. Boise State Running Back Ashton Jeanty has put the country on notice despite the loss to Oregon 37-34. With over 400 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns through only 2 games, how far can Boise State roll this year? Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, Miami and Alabama continue their dominance early on this season to make their cases as the Nations Elite. Who are the Early Heisman Trophy Contenders this season? Ashton Jeanie, Cam Ward, and Quin Ewers are making their cases.

The NFL is back and did not disappoint in week 1, Dallas signed Dak to a 4 year - $240 Mil contract...$60 Million a year as they rolled Cleveland 33-17. Deshaun Watson is showing how much of a mistake it was for Cleveland to give him that massive contract. Pittsburgh was the only AFC North team to win a game this opening week despite not scoring a single touchdown against Atlanta. The Rams and Lions put on a show which saw Detroit besting LA 26-20 after an overtime thriller...is this a preview of this years NFC Championship? All this and more on this weeks episode.
