    Week 5 Preview and Best Bets: Ohio State at Iowa Plus AP Top 25 | The College Football Show

    The College Football Show is back for Week 5, and host Shane Barrett runs through a reshuffled AP Top 25, breaks down the biggest game on the board, and lays out the bets he is backing. Shane opens with the poll: the risers, the fallers, the teams knocking on the door from just outside the rankings, and a full slate of ranked squads he has on upset alert. Then it is on to his Game of the Week, Ohio State at Iowa, a College GameDay clash at Kinnick Stadium. The fifth-ranked Buckeyes roll into Iowa City as heavy favorites, but the fourteenth-ranked Hawkeyes are unbeaten, lead the nation in scoring defense, and are fresh off a last-play upset of Michigan. Star receiver Jeremiah Smith, safety Jaylen McClain, and edge rusher Kenyatta Jackson Jr. lead the Ohio State side against Iowa quarterback Hank Brown, running back Kamari Moulton, and cornerback Deshaun Lee. With a two-touchdown spread and one of the lowest totals on the board, Shane has a firm read on where the value sits. He closes with his offensive and defensive players of the week from a wild Week 4. There is a side he loves in the marquee game and plenty more before kickoff, so hit play to get it all first.

    Three QBs Down: What Week 3 Looks Like Without Dart, Daniels and Caleb Williams | The Optimus Fantasy Show

    Week 2 took out three starting quarterbacks. Nate Polvogt and Kacey Kasem sort through what it means for your Week 3 lineups. Jaxson Dart is expected to have season-ending knee surgery, making Jameis Winston the Giants' quarterback the rest of the way. What does that do to Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo and Isaiah Likely? Jayden Daniels dislocated the same elbow again with no timeline, and Caleb Williams is week to week with a hamstring while his backup sits in concussion protocol. Looking ahead to Week 3: Kyler Murray is cleared and starting in Tampa, the Chargers are 0-2 and unrecognizable, and Michael Penix Jr. makes his season debut Thursday night at Lambeau. Topics covered in this episode: the Jaxson Dart injury and Jameis Winston's outlook, Malik Nabers' shoulder, Cam Skattebo and Isaiah Likely, the Jayden Daniels elbow and Marcus Mariota, Stefon Diggs in Washington, Caleb Williams' hamstring and the Bears quarterback room, Kyler Murray's return against Tampa Bay, Justin Herbert and whether he's benchable, Omarion Hampton's workload, and Michael Penix Jr.'s return and what it means for Drake London, Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts.
