    College Football's BEST Weekend: Miami-Notre Dame, Oregon-Ohio State, BYU-Utah, SEC Chaos, & MORE! | Ep. 188

    This might actually be the best college football weekend of the entire season, and there's a LOT to get into. On Episode 188 of Stick2Sports, Noah previews nine games with major College Football Playoff implications, some serious upset potential, and plenty of teams with something to prove. We start with UCLA heading to Minnesota before diving into the Holy War. BYU's running game has taken a serious step back, so just how much longer can Bear Bachmeier carry this offense? And is Utah about to prove it's a legitimate national championship contender? The SEC is an absolute mess right now. Texas is walking into a dangerous matchup at Missouri, Alabama and LSU are fighting to stay alive in the playoff picture, and Kalen DeBoer might have some uncomfortable questions to answer if the Crimson Tide lose. Plus, can Trinidad Chambliss pull off another massive win over Georgia? Oregon's offense suddenly looks alive again, but beating Ohio State in Columbus is a different story. Kentucky has a chance to prove it belongs among the SEC's best at Neyland, while Iowa and Northwestern have a sneaky important Big Ten matchup. And finally, Catholics vs. Convicts. Miami is without Malachi Toney for its biggest game yet, and Notre Dame's defense has looked nearly unstoppable. But has Notre Dame actually played anyone good enough to prove it? Nine games, some bold predictions, and plenty of playoff chaos on the way. This is going to be one hell of a weekend of college football.

    Is Utah College Football's Best Team? USC Shocks Ohio State, Denver's AFC Rise & Ravens in Crisis | Ep. 187

    College football is getting WEIRD, and after another wild weekend, we're starting to question who the best teams in the country actually are. On Episode 187 of Stick2Sports, Noah breaks down Lincoln Riley's signature win at USC as the Trojans stun Ohio State 30-18. What does the result mean for USC's College Football Playoff hopes, and how concerned should Ohio State be about its offense? Then, it's time to revisit a prediction: Utah could be the No. 1 team in November. After dismantling Cincinnati, the undefeated Utes are making a serious case as a national championship contender. We also examine Indiana's increasingly concerning quarterback situation and why Miami's defensive struggles against North Carolina could become a major problem against elite competition. Over in the NFL, Denver's statement win against Kansas City raises a major question: Are the Broncos legitimate AFC contenders? Plus, the NFC North is turning into a four-team battle, with Detroit's rushing attack, Chicago's emergence, and Green Bay's upside reshaping the division. Finally, Baltimore is in serious trouble. With Lamar Jackson injured again, an ineffective offense, and a brutal AFC North race, can the Ravens salvage their season? This episode covers: USC vs. Ohio State, Utah's championship case, Indiana's offensive struggles, Miami's defensive concerns, Broncos vs. Chiefs, the NFC North race, and Baltimore's quarterback crisis.

    Stick2Sports Power 15 Shakes Up After Week 7! BYU Best Team in Football?, Big 12 Overrated? Bo Nix Struggles, Rams' Bad Luck & C.J. Stroud's MVP Path | Ep. 183

    The Stick2Sports Power 15 is BACK, and after a chaotic Week 7 of college football, the numbers are telling a VERY different story from the AP Poll. BYU takes the No. 1 spot after beating Notre Dame, UCLA jumps to No. 2, and Kentucky somehow finds itself at No. 3. Meanwhile, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Indiana tumble. But what exactly is the Power 15 measuring? We break down the analytics, strength of record, team quality, relative dominance, and why the model doesn't always agree with conventional wisdom. Then, it's time for a serious Big 12 conversation. Is the conference genuinely deep, or are we confusing parity with championship-level quality? We examine the contenders, uneven schedules, and whether the Big 12 deserves multiple College Football Playoff bids. Over in the NFL, things aren't looking much better for some preseason contenders. 🏈 Are the Rams actually bad, or just incredibly unlucky? 🏈 Has Bo Nix regressed, or is Denver's offense holding him back? 🏈 Can C.J. Stroud and the Texans overcome a 0-4 start and get back into playoff contention? Analytics, arguments, and a little bit of chaos. Just another episode of Stick2Sports.
