At the halfway point of the 2026 college football season, Coach is joined by Tony Barnhart, Dennis Dodd, and Charles Davis. Barnhart and Coach break down a loaded SEC slate, including Georgia at Alabama, Texas vs. Oklahoma, Texas A&M at Missouri, and Ole Miss at Vanderbilt. They also dig into Oklahoma’s offensive struggles, Shane Beamer’s hot seat at South Carolina, and Tennessee’s quarterback change to freshman George McIntyre. Coach and Dodd then widen the lens to the national picture, debating whether Texas deserves the top spot, how Notre Dame and Miami look as playoff locks, and who benefits most from a 24-team playoff. Along the way they share their stats of the week, under-the-radar stories like Chip Kelly’s wing-T at Northwestern, and hidden gems like Kansas’ defense and an undefeated Duke.

Dodd closes out the Big 12 discussion with a look at BYU, Texas Tech, Utah, Oklahoma State, and Houston, plus his pick of Oklahoma to cover the spread against Texas. Davis then previews the Big Ten’s biggest games, including UCLA at Oregon, Indiana at Nebraska, and USC at Penn State, and weighs in on the Group of Six playoff race between Boise State, James Madison, and North Dakota State. The show wraps with a rundown of the day’s SEC TV schedule and a look ahead to the marquee Georgia-Alabama showdown.
