Fox Sports Radio and iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

College Football Week 9 live reaction with real AP Top 25 and CFB Playoff stakes: instant takes on UCLA vs Indiana, Ole Miss vs Oklahoma, Wisconsin vs Oregon, Texas A&M vs LSU, Michigan vs Michigan State, Alabama vs South Carolina, Texas vs Mississippi State, and BYU vs Iowa State. George Wrighster breaks down who helped or hurt their SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 title chances, which blue bloods are for real, and how today’s results reshape November.

 

We go matchup by matchup—UCLA football identity versus Indiana football toughness; can Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss offense outpace Oklahoma Sooners discipline; did Oregon Ducks overwhelm Wisconsin Badgers at the line; is Texas A&M football physical enough to bully LSU Tigers; did Michigan Wolverines keep control over Michigan State Spartans; is Alabama Crimson Tide truly back after facing South Carolina Gamecocks; did the Texas Longhorns avoid a trap against Mississippi State Bulldogs; and who owns momentum between BYU Cougars and Iowa State Cyclones. We’ll stack Heisman buzz, updated Top 25 tiers, and new CFP paths for contenders like Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, Penn State, Miami, and Oklahoma State that are lurking in the background of the Week 9 debate.

 

Expect blunt, timestamped reactions on star QBs, coaching edges, travel windows, injuries, and depth—plus how today’s swings affect conference races: SEC championship picture with Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss; the Big Ten track with Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan; the ACC gauntlet with Miami, Notre Dame, Clemson; and the Big 12 climb with Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa State, Kansas State. If you want receipts and no fluff, you’re in the right place—drop your top four, your upset of the day, and who you trust most to win out.
