Another week, another firing, and another round of Lane Kiffin rumors. On this episode of Game Runs Deep, Sudu and Ben:

• Rank the top open Power 4 jobs and predict who fills those vacancies (LSU, Florida, Penn State, Auburn, and more)

• Hugh Freeze’s firing at Auburn and how it shakes up the coaching carousel

• Lane Kiffin’s future at Ole Miss

• Tennessee fans turning on Josh Heupel despite his success

• Predicting the first College Football Playoff Poll of the season, Bless Your Heart, and more

Brian Kelly is out at LSU and suddenly, Lane Kiffin is the hottest coach in the country. Can Ole Miss keep him in Oxford? Or will SEC giants like Florida or LSU make offers he can’t refuse?

Sudu and Ben dive into:

• What led to Brian Kelly’s firing

• Why Lane Kiffin is priority No. 1 for every major opening

• The real risk of LSU vs Florida in today’s NIL/portal era

• How Ole Miss’ streamlined structure keeps them competitive

• Which programs are still in the playoff hunt

• Week 9 recaps + “Bless Your Heart”

• Week 10 predictions around the SEC

From the buyout madness to the pressure cooker expectations in Baton Rouge and Gainesville, we break down the most chaotic coaching carousel in college football history.

Is Lane Kiffin really leaving Ole Miss for Florida? Sudu and Ben break down the Lane Kiffin to Florida rumors and explain why the idea of a “bigger job” doesn’t hold up in modern college football.

The duo are also joined by Nick Douglas, co-author of “WHERE DID OUR GAME GO?: Inside College Football’s Billion-Dollar Transformation,” to explore how NIL, the transfer portal, realignment, and TV money have reshaped the sport, and why the traditional power dynamics no longer apply.

The guys also recap Ole Miss’ defensive struggles against Georgia, Gunner Stockton’s Heisman push, Ty Simpson’s breakout, and Carson Beck’s regression, plus their Week 9 predictions and upset picks.

Former Georgia Bulldog quarterback and current Fox 5 Atlanta Sports Director and Bulldog Network sideline reporter DJ Shockley joins Sudu and Ben for a loaded new episode of Game Runs Deep . Shock breaks down:

• Why Georgia’s pass rush and secondary haven’t looked like vintage Bulldog units

• How Trinidad Chambliss’s mobility could stress the Dawgs’ defense

• What Ole Miss must do to pressure Gunner Stockton and control the tempo in Athens

• Kirby Smart’s mindset leading a young, resilient Georgia team through adversity

Then, it’s a Game Runs Deep fan-favorite moment — Sudu and Shock reunite for their original “Bless Your Heart” segment, the one they first created together on TV before debuting on Game Runs Deep. Along with Ben, they relive the funniest, wildest, and most painful plays from around college football in Week 7.

After Shock signs off, Sudu and Ben go in-depth on the national landscape, including:

• Why Ty Simpson has emerged as the clear Heisman Trophy favorite

• How Missouri’s misuse of star RB Ahmad Hardy cost them a shot at Alabama

• Why Curt Cignetti’s Indiana Hoosiers might be the most improved team in the Big Ten — and why he deserves national recognition as one of the top coaches in college football

Then comes everyone’s favorite rant segment — “Grinding My Gears with Ben Garrett.” This week, Ben sounds off on the narrative that every fanbase thinks it can hire Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss. He lays out why the Rebels have become a legitimate national program under Kiffin, and how the school’s facilities, NIL resources, and investment make it one of the SEC’s most attractive jobs.

The show wraps with Week 8 predictions, including Sudu and Ben’s upset picks for the biggest games across college football.

It’s one of the most complete episodes yet — equal parts analysis, insider insight, and pure CFB energy.

Sudu and Ben are back on Game Runs Deep after an unforgettable Week 6 of college football. The guys break down Florida’s stunning upset of Texas and what it means for Billy Napier’s future, plus Alabama’s statement win behind Ty Simpson and the steady hand of Kalen DeBoer. They give long-overdue credit to Clark Lea and Vanderbilt for pushing Bama to the brink — and explain why the Crimson Tide look like a playoff threat again.

Ben debuts a brand-new segment, “Grinding My Gears,” unloading on James Franklin. The guys also bring back “Bless Your Heart," highlighting the college football players who got embarrassed on the wrong end of big plays this week.

Sudu Upadhyay and Ben Garrett are back after a jam packed week of the college football season.

Then, they dive into Alabama’s signature road win at Georgia, what Ty Simpson’s performance means for the Tide, and whether Kirby Smart has a “Bama problem.” From Brian Kelly’s coaching blunders to James Franklin’s ceiling at Penn State, plus why officiating accountability remains broken, this episode covers it all.

Sudu and Ben are back with a loaded Week 5 slate — Georgia–Bama, Ole Miss–LSU, Penn State–Oregon, and more. The guys kick things off by owning what they got wrong last week before diving into Auburn–Oklahoma’s officiating debacle, why Ole Miss’ defense might be better than anyone thinks, and which teams are truly overrated or underrated heading into late September. They spotlight QBs like Dylan Raiola, Josh Hoover, and Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia, debate the state of Clemson under Dabo, and ask if Fran Brown is college football’s next big coaching hire. Plus, a spirited conversation on Lane Kiffin’s future and the money/enthusiasm gap across programs.
