We thought Week 6 would be quiet. We were wrong. Dead wrong.

Three top 15 teams fell to unranked opponents in what might be the most chaotic Saturday of the season. We dive deep into Penn State's shocking 42-37 loss to UCLA—a team that fired its coach just days earlier. The loss raises serious questions about James Franklin's future despite his $50+ million buyout. Can this relationship be salvaged? We also break down Florida's inspired 29-21 upset of Texas in The Swamp, where the Gators' defense sacked Arch Manning six times and exposed flaws in the Longhorns' offensive line. Plus, Miami continues to look like a legitimate contender with a dominant road win over Florida State, powered by freshman sensation Malachi Toney and an elite defensive front.

Beyond the headline upsets, we analyze Alabama's methodical win over Vanderbilt, Cincinnati's offensive explosion against Iowa State, Bryce Underwood's career day against Wisconsin, and what all this chaos means for the playoff picture.

To close things out, Ty reveals his updated top 12 rankings, we answer live Verballer questions about Ohio State inevitability, the best G6 teams, and the champions of NIL, and finally, hand out Dude Alerts to standouts like Bear Bachmeier, Dallas Wilson, and Ty Simpson.
