Dan, Frank, Allen “Action” Jackson, and Rich “One-Eared” Vassallo swing into the Babe Ruth episode with a lively whip-around of September baseball and a peek at the college gridiron.

In this one:

• Yanks: 19 over .500, eyeing October; Judge productive but pitched around, rotation still a puzzle; big Orioles set.
• Mets: streaky as ever—bats pop, starters fade early, bullpen roulette; Soto scorching, Vientos rising; wild-card math still alive.
• Phils: duct tape & chicken wire hold; magic number: 14 as they steer toward the finish.
• AL/NL picture: Toronto pacing the East, Houston/Seattle musical chairs, Boston–Cleveland scrap for WC3; NL looks chalky with Dodgers/Brewers/Phils, Pads and Cubs in the mix.
• Cal Raleigh shout-out: record-setting year for a switch-hitting catcher; knocking on franchise lore.
• Rest vs. Rust: why recent wild cards roar into October and why starters hate extra days off.
• CFB weekend: Oregon–Oklahoma State, Michigan–Nebraska, Auburn–Oklahoma, Liberty–JMU, and more; Arch jitters vs. long view, Penn State cruises.
• Classroom cameo: Dan’s “we’re all winners” speech meets middle-school reality.
• Housekeeping: Survivor Pool trims from 61 to 50 (make those picks!); Fox Brothers Alarms love; Facebook & email.
• Soccer Report (Daniel Hooks): USMNT ramp to 2026, lineup questions, South American friendlies ahead; trivia: Brazil beat Italy on PKs in 1994.
