Week 5 CFB Megaslate: Whiteout Showdown, Athens at Night, and Our 5–1 SuperDawgs


Listen Later

Episode Description

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.
