Big Ben & K Winn

The fix is in. ESPN is salivating over a 24-game playoff, and college football delivered exactly the chaos they wanted. Number one went down in South Bend with shoddy officiating and no Malachi Tony. Georgia trounced Ole Miss. Alabama put up 14 fourth-quarter points and looked good. Kentucky got rolled, Willie Stein was a no-show in Knoxville, and Texas won ugly again with a deceiving final score.

UCLA stole the show on the road at Minnesota. Dieffenbach to Aiden Mizell, 75-yard touchdown, 9 seconds off the clock. Gophers get a field goal, and UCLA does it again. Another 75-yard bomb, back-to-back. The Bruins got out of Minneapolis with a win. Oregon looked okay, but Fahey threw 50 times and looked good only when he was feeding Jeremiah Smith. Wake Forest hung 77 on Merrimack. Boise State put up 64 on Colorado State, where Jim Mora escorted the defensive coordinator out of the building and they still can’t stop anyone. Will the best team in the country please stand up?

College football’s Separation Saturday eliminated half the playoff field. Ohio State, LSU, Ole Miss, and BYU are out. Georgia got revenge on Ole Miss and looked like the best team in the country. Tennessee beat Kentucky with a physical defense and should make the biggest jump when the CFP rankings drop Tuesday.

Oregon went into Columbus and hung 41 on the Buckeyes, 38 unanswered. The vaunted Ohio State defense didn’t show up, and Jeremiah Smith is not happy. Dylan Riola played much better, and the Ducks are rolling.

Out West, UCLA quarterback Tyler Dieffenbach might be Mr. Explosive. Eight completions for over 300 yards, two 75-yard touchdowns to Aiden Mizell. No disrespect to Nico, but a little disrespect. The Bruins play top 5 defense, they run the ball, and now they can throw it. They are heading to the college football playoff. USC is in the hunt until Saturday, until they go into Bloomington and lose. Alabama’s Ryan Coleman Williams is back, Arch Manning threw three touchdowns with no picks, and the Big 12 can only get one team in.

USC beat No. 2 Ohio State 30-18 at the Coliseum, and we’re still not opting back in on Lincoln Riley. Then we settle the best two-loss team in America, Bama and Texas against Ole Miss and LSU, and shine a light on the best receiver in the country nobody’s talking about: Oregon State’s Jesse Legree.

Over to the NFL. Minshew Mania is back in Arizona, but is he the starter for the rest of 2026 or a bridge to Carson Beck? The 5-2 Chiefs have exactly one real win. And is it time for the Chargers to trade Justin Herbert?

We close it out with a Jets-themed Fantasy Football Bench Points segment.

UCLA is Indiana 2.0. Bob Chesney brought his James Madison blueprint to Westwood, and Wayne Knight scored both touchdowns in the Bruins’ first win at Autzen since 2004. Notre Dame is 6-0 and has outscored opponents 264-66, so name one ranked win. Plus Ohio State at Indiana for Big Ten bragging rights.

In the NFL, Stafford throws for 383 and the Rams still lose to the Bills in overtime. Kicker’s fault? The Texans land Marvin Harrison Jr., and we make the case that the 49ers, Seahawks, Rams, and Bills are the four best teams in football. In Bench Points, a 6 AM Pacific London kickoff left Dallas Goedert’s 9.8 on the bench while Kenyon Sadiq scored 0.3.

Brock Purdy has 11 touchdowns, one interception, and a 4-0 record. Next up is Lumen Field against the defending champs who beat the 49ers 41-6 in January. If he wins in Seattle, Purdy is in the thick of the MVP race alongside Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Bijan Robinson.

Then the 0-4 club. Justin Herbert's Chargers have thrown six picks and given up 12 sacks. The Texans blew a 10-point halftime lead. And only the 1992 Chargers have ever made the playoffs from 0-4. Plus, Geno Smith's cousin Jeremiah Smith, and a Jets team staring at a top-3 pick.

In college, 4-0 UCLA goes to Autzen, and the Ducks have too much. Georgia at Alabama gets GameDay: curse broken or Atlanta a fluke? And in Bench Points, Ben sat Ollie Gordon for Jacory Croskey-Merritt and paid for it.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we'll get you caught up and fired up in half an hour.

The 3-0 Raiders host the 3-0 Chiefs in Las Vegas, and the winner takes sole possession of first in the AFC West. We're taking the Raiders outright as 5.5-point home dogs.

The 49ers are 3-0 and the Chargers are 0-3, so we ask: Brock Purdy or Justin Herbert, who would you rather have?

Jeremiah Smith is one touchdown from tying Chris Olave's Ohio State record of 35, and we say he breaks it at Kinnick. Then, should he be the #1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft? 

Fantasy Football Bench Points Confession highlights starting Kyler Murray over Drake Maye and a fantasy team sitting 0-3 right with Jim Harbaugh's Chargers. We close with the Mariners' manager search and who Seattle should hire.

The Chargers lost to the Cardinals and the Raiders by the exact same score, 26-14, back to back weeks at SoFi Stadium, and now they fly to Buffalo. Then Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart all went down, and Oregon vs USC with somebody's playoff dream on the line.

Lose to the Bills and is the Chargers' season over? We pick a side. Williams, Daniels and Dart are each headed down a different injury road, and we sort out which of their teams can survive while their quarterback sits.

Then it's Ducks vs Trojans at the Coliseum. Lincoln Riley is 0-2 against Dan Lanning and has never hosted him. Oregon just gave up 554 total yards. One playoff dream dies in Los Angeles, and we tell you whose.

Plus Benny Covers picks two games, and a Fantasy Football Bench Points breakdown.

Lane Kiffin walks back into Oxford as LSU's head coach, and Big Ben and K Winn can't agree on who wins. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears drop 59 on Carolina, while Jim Harbaugh's Chargers get walked out of SoFi by Jacoby Brissett as 8.5 point home favorites.

Kiffin broke up with Ole Miss, moved in with LSU, then asked to coach the Rebels through the playoff anyway. K Winn rides with Ole Miss. Big Ben takes LSU to win and cover. 

The Bears piled up 552 yards and six rushing touchdowns in the highest scoring season opener in NFL history. Real contender or just a shootout team? Closer to home, the Chargers lost Ladd McConkey to injury and never scored again. 

And Bench Points debuts, our weekly fantasy football confession. K Winn started Kyle Pitts over Dallas Goedert and left 23.7 points on the bench.
