We’re emptying the notebook after a wild Week 6 and setting the stage for Week 7 in college football with sharp insights on the biggest headlines, QB struggles, playoff contenders, and early betting market reactions.

🏈 Texas & Arch Manning:

The Longhorns’ offense looks broken — Arch Manning’s processing issues, downgraded skill talent, and a shaky OL are killing drives. The defense is under massive pressure to play perfect, and the market has reacted hard — Texas is under a FG favorite vs Oklahoma with a backup QB likely for the Sooners.

🦁 Penn State’s Collapse:

From playoff contender to possibly missing the 12-team field — Penn State’s lifeless start vs UCLA and that Drew Allar checkdown on the final drive tell the story. Credit UCLA’s interim staff for taking advantage.

☘️ Notre Dame Rising Again:

The Irish defense is figuring it out. Four picks, four sacks, and domination vs Boise State — plus slowing Arkansas to 13 points. Even with two losses, this feels like a playoff-caliber team as CJ Carr continues to develop.

🏆 Heisman Race Update:

We may have a clear top tier — Ty Simpson, Carson Beck, and Donte Moore — but watch out for SEC risers Marcel Reed (Texas A&M) and Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss). Jeremiah Smith remains a fade despite gaudy team success.

🗒️ Empty the Week 6 Notebook:

• Ball State looks like a live MAC underdog worth watching.
• UVA wins again but doesn’t inspire confidence.
• UNLV wins ugly in Laramie — punt block touchdowns hide flaws.
• Aidan Chiles & Michigan State continue to disappoint under Jonathan Smith.

📊 Market Openers to Watch:

• ECU vs Tulane & USF vs North Texas headline the weeknight AAC slate.
• UCLA/Michigan State early total could scream points.
• Alabama/Missouri total worth tracking — market may be off.
• Indiana/Oregon sees early money on IU again.
• Oklahoma/Texas total opens at a shocking 42.5 — is the market overreacting?

🎯 Week 7 Best Bets:

• Kent State -2.5 – Wrong team favored vs a banged-up UMass.
• Michigan +2.5 – Power-rated as a pick’em; Wolverines are trending up.
• Utah State +2.5 – Live dog with the better passing defense and strength of schedule.
