Mark Yarbro and Will open with a hilarious mea culpa—Will walks back his all-time worst take (no, Dave Gettleman is not in the Hall of Fame). From there, the guys dig into college football’s chaos: Curt Cignetti locking in at Indiana and why it feels sustainable, Miami’s step-back and what “the U is back” really means, plus Vanderbilt’s rise behind swaggering QB Diego Pavia. They scan the slate ahead (Virginia at UNC, Oklahoma–Ole Miss, A&M at LSU) and talk playoff résumés as “quality wins” get harder to find.

On the pro side, it’s coach hot-seat season: why Mike McDaniel may not survive the year, how Brian Daboll hangs on, and what Woody Johnson’s comments say about the Jets’ dysfunction. They hit the NFL headlines (Denver’s wild rally, Tampa’s offensive struggles, the Rams looking for real, Seattle with Sam Darnold, and Indianapolis humming) before switching to October baseball—Game 7 magic and the World Series set—along with a rant about Fox running a split-screen ad in the top of the ninth. The new “Get Off My Lawn” segment swings at both TV execs and the “football is soft now” crowd. Plus: a spooky “Three on Three” pop-culture draft of horror flicks (from Halloween to Children of the Corn).
