Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin give their reactions to Week 8 of the college football season. It was a thriller in Austin as Texas held on to defeat Ole Miss, giving yet another SEC team two losses. Texas Tech is no longer unbeaten as Cincinnati pulled off the big upset in historic Nippert. To cloud the Big 12 waters even more, BYU fell at UCF to leave the conference with one unbeaten remaining: Utah. Speaking of un-beatens, there aren't many. Miami dominated Pitt to remain perfect and UCLA cruised against Sparty. Shoutout Wisconsin for a major home win over USC, as the Luke Fickell doubters are quiet but the Lincoln Riley doubters are as loud as ever. What to make of the USC coaching situation and if the guys are feeling a change could be coming. A change was made at NC State after Stanford won on Friday, and Minnesota pulled off the upset over Iowa casting serious doubt on any chance the Hawkeyes had at making the dance.

Plus SVP shares his thoughts on the Dan Quinn discourse and what to make of the questionable happenings in the recent Commanders games. The Vikings play again this week and the offense might be turning the corner. Could Minnesota become a truly elite team? Are the Broncos good? And what are we to do with the 2-4 Rams? SVP isn’t selling his stock.

Oct 18, 2026

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve recap a WILD day of college football including some of the most surprising results to date. The guys start with BYU knocking off Notre Dame in Provo, with Steve offering his thoughts after seeing the game in person. SVP explains how Bear Bachmeier proved him wrong and what BYU did well in the massive win. Miami hung on against Florida State in a game that saw some questionable officiating in the end, but Miami won and the Canes will likely be the new No. 1 team in the country on Sunday.

Oct 14, 2026

Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve give their Rams-Bills reaction, discuss the best team in the NFL and preview the weekend’s biggest college games. The guys got to see a classic in SoFi that saw Josh Allen do Josh Allen things and the Rams special teams struggle once again. What to make of the Rams’ 2-3 start and moving on from kicker Harrison Mevis, which prompted SVP to some riveting kicker research that led to some good ol’ nostalgia. Why don’t kickers stay with their team longer nowadays?! Plus, SVP and Steve discuss the Washington Commanders’ debacle at the end of the game against the New York Giants. Finally, SVP shares why he’s rooting for the Brewers and the guys preview Ohio State-Indiana and Notre Dame-BYU. | SVPod
