TNR on Sport & State 10/5/26 - Hour 1 | Is Alabama the BEST Team in College Football? Miami DESTROYS Clemson Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Is Alabama Football becoming the best team in college football? After another wild Saturday, the College Football Playoff picture and conference championship races are starting to take shape — and several contenders made massive statements while others suffered crushing losses. 🐘 ALABAMA MAKES ANOTHER STATEMENT The Alabama Crimson Tide went into Starkville and hammered previously unbeaten Mississippi State 56-23, improving to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in SEC play. Keelon Russell threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns as Alabama picked up its second SEC road victory of the season. Now the conversation gets even bigger: Is Alabama actually the best team in college football? The Crimson Tide returns to Tuscaloosa for a massive showdown with No. 2 Georgia.

🐔 ANOTHER SOUTH CAROLINA COLLAPSE South Carolina jumped out to a 17-0 lead over Kentucky — and still couldn’t finish. Kentucky battled all the way back and eventually won 35-34 in overtime on a game-winning two-point conversion. The result puts even more pressure on Shane Beamer after another painful blown lead for the Gamecocks.

🙌 MIAMI DESTROYS CLEMSON Miami walked into Death Valley and dominated Clemson 41-13. The Hurricanes are now 5-0 and 3-0 in ACC play, taking sole possession of first place in the conference. For Clemson, the loss drops Dabo Swinney’s Tigers to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the ACC. Is Clemson’s College Football Playoff dream already finished? Meanwhile, Miami continues building toward a huge November showdown with Notre Dame.

MML 10/5/26 | Keelon Russell & Alabama Are ROLLING! Georgia Showdown + Red River Rivalry Preview Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

It’s Monday Morning Live with The Next Round’s Jim Dunaway and ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill, breaking down everything that happened across a wild weekend of college football and turning the page to another massive week featuring Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas vs. Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, USC vs. Penn State and much more.

🐘🔥 ALABAMA & KEELON RUSSELL ARE ROLLING

The Crimson Tide keeps building momentum. Keelon Russell threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns and added another score on the ground as Alabama routed Mississippi State 56-23 in Starkville. Jim and Tom discuss Russell’s development, his place among the best quarterbacks in college football and an Alabama wide receiver room that continues to give defenses problems. How high is the ceiling for this Crimson Tide offense?

🐶🐘 ALABAMA vs. GEORGIA — SEC SHOWDOWN

Now the attention turns to Georgia at Alabama in Tuscaloosa. What are the biggest matchups? Where does Alabama have an advantage? What does Georgia have to do to slow down Russell and the Tide passing game? Jim and Tom give their early breakdown of one of the biggest games on the college football schedule.

🐊📉 FLORIDA CRASHES BACK TO EARTH

Florida’s undefeated start came crashing to a halt with a 45-17 loss at Missouri. Despite Austin Simmons throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns, the Gators couldn’t keep pace. Was this simply one bad Saturday, or did Missouri expose real concerns for Florida moving forward?

🍊⚠️ TENNESSEE WINS — BUT DO THE VOLS HAVE A QB PROBLEM?

Tennessee beat Auburn 24-14, but the biggest story came at quarterback when Josh Heupel benched Faizon Brandon for George MacIntyre. What does the move mean for the Vols going forward? And on the other side, how worried should Alex Golesh and Auburn be about an offense that continues to search for consistency?

😼🤯 KENTUCKY STUNS SOUTH CAROLINA

Kentucky trailed 17-0 before completing a dramatic comeback and beating South Carolina 35-34 in overtime. The Wildcats went for two and the win after their overtime touchdown. What did Kentucky show in the comeback, and where does another painful SEC loss leave South Carolina?

🤘🏆 RED RIVER RIVALRY PREVIEW: TEXAS vs. OKLAHOMA

It’s one of the best rivalries in all of sports: Texas vs. Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Throw out the records when the Longhorns and Sooners meet in the Red River Rivalry. Jim and Tom break down the quarterbacks, matchups, pressure points and what could decide another chapter of Texas-OU.

☘️😰 NOTRE DAME GETS TESTED

Notre Dame survived a tougher-than-expected challenge from North Carolina. What did the Fighting Irish learn, and are there warning signs hiding underneath another victory as the College Football Playoff race begins to take shape?

🙌🌴 MIAMI KEEPS CRUISING

Miami continues to look like one of the nation’s elite teams after another convincing performance. Are the Hurricanes a legitimate national championship threat, and how do they stack up against the other College Football Playoff contenders?

🌰🦅 OHIO STATE & IOWA LOOK THE PART

Ohio State went into Kinnick Stadium and came away with a 31-14 win over Iowa. Jim and Tom examine what we learned about the Buckeyes in a difficult road environment — and what Iowa showed despite taking its first loss.

✌️🔥 USC SURVIVES — NOW IT’S PENN STATE

USC rallied to beat Washington 25-21, and now the Trojans turn their attention toward another enormous Big Ten test against Penn State. What should we make of USC right now, and what will it take to survive the next challenge?

🏈👀 PITT vs. VIRGINIA TECH — WAS THE KICK ACTUALLY GOOD?

One of the wildest endings of the weekend came in Pitt’s 35-33 win over Virginia Tech. Hokies kicker John Love attempted a potential game-winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, but officials ruled the kick no good. Because the ball traveled above the upright, the call was not reviewable. So… was it actually good?

Show notes

It’s one of the biggest games of the Week 5 college football schedule: No. 7 Alabama heads to Starkville to battle No. 16 Mississippi State in a showdown of undefeated SEC teams, and we’re breaking it all down LIVE!

Both Alabama and Mississippi State enter Saturday at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play, setting up a fascinating quarterback matchup between Crimson Tide star Keelon Russell and Mississippi State phenom Kamario Taylor. Can Taylor and the Bulldogs protect home field at Davis Wade Stadium, or will Alabama continue its unbeaten start on the road?

We dive deep into Alabama vs. Mississippi State, including how potentially rainy conditions could impact the game, playing and throwing in wet weather, memories of past rain-soaked games involving Alabama and Derrick Henry, and whether either offense will have to adjust its approach.

We also break down the weapons surrounding the quarterbacks, including Ryan Coleman-Williams and Lotzeir Brooks, the battle in the trenches, Alabama’s physicality, Mississippi State’s explosive offense, blocking and offensive-line play, coaching adjustments and the biggest keys that could decide this SEC showdown. Plus, the guys give their score predictions and explain why they expect a competitive game in Starkville.

Then it’s time for more Week 5 college football picks and predictions, including:

🏈 South Carolina vs. Kentucky — Can the Gamecocks cover as a short home favorite against the nationally ranked Wildcats?

🏈 Michigan State vs. Wisconsin — Wisconsin enters as a sizable favorite, but can the Badgers take care of business against the Spartans?

🏈 No. 10 BYU vs. TCU — Can the Horned Frogs cover at home against an undefeated BYU team?

PLUS: plenty of college football debate, stories from the field, laughs and more throughout the show.

The Connor O'Gara Show #13 | Alabama vs. Mississippi State: Kamario Taylor vs. Keelon Russell Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

Connor O’Gara is joined by Jim Dunaway for a loaded edition of The Connor O’Gara Show, breaking down the biggest college football stories heading into a huge SEC weekend.

The spotlight starts in Starkville, where No. 7 Alabama visits No. 16 Mississippi State in a battle of unbeaten SEC teams. The matchup features two of college football’s most exciting 19-year-old quarterbacks: Alabama’s Keelon Russell and Mississippi State’s Kamario Taylor. Connor and Jim break down Taylor’s poise, Russell’s rapid rise, the challenge of playing at Davis Wade Stadium and why Bulldogs running back Fluff Bothwell could be a major factor in Mississippi State’s upset hopes.

Then it’s time for a full Heisman Trophy debate. Where do Kamario Taylor, Keelon Russell, Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, Florida RB Jadan Baugh, Miami QB Darian Mensah and Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith belong in the early race? The guys also discuss Arch Manning, Gunner Stockton and Missouri QB Austin Simmons as the SEC’s Heisman picture continues to evolve.

The conversation shifts to some of the SEC’s biggest early-season disappointments. What has gone wrong for Oklahoma QB John Mateer, Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed and Auburn QB Byrum Brown? How much pressure is building around South Carolina and Shane Beamer as LaNorris Sellers struggles? And why hasn’t Texas gotten more production from talented transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman?

Connor and Jim also discuss the people they respect most in college football media, including Rece Davis, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, before reacting to Northwestern’s new 35,000-seat Ryan Field and debating whether SEC stadiums would actually benefit from becoming smaller, louder and more intimate.

The show closes on a personal note as Connor reflects on the loss of his family’s 14-year-old cat, Rudy, and Jim shares memories of his family dog, Baxter, along with perspective on helping families and pets through loss.

CBS Sports’ latest Top 50 quarterback rankings don’t include Auburn QB Byrum Brown. Is that justified? We compare Brown with Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon and debate which team has the advantage at the most important position on the field. 🍻 TENNESSEE’S HAPPY HOUR IS HERE TO STAY: After the success of Happy Hour at Neyland Stadium, Tennessee is extending the idea for the remainder of the season.

We have some ideas. 🍢 JIMBO FISHER BACK AT FLORIDA STATE? The Jimbo Fisher conversation is suddenly alive again around Tallahassee. After the way his first tenure at Florida State ended, are Seminoles fans actually ready to forgive Fisher and entertain the possibility of welcoming their former national championship coach back? 🚨 Plus, we’re tracking the latest SEC student-athlete availability reports as they are released, with the newest injury and status updates affecting Alabama-Mississippi State, Auburn-Tennessee and the rest of the conference.
