From the biggest names to the biggest unknowns, this show brings you the kind of perspective only slightly above average rec league vet can bring to the table. No stats overloads and no filter, just jokes, stories, and everything else you wont hear on ESPN.Pat O'Connor

    Nov 13 2026

    Week 11 is here and the college football playoff picture is starting to get interesting.

    This week, we're breaking down the biggest matchups, questioning some of the committees rankings, looking for potential upsets, and making our picks for the weekend.

    Can USC give Indiana trouble? Is Devin Dampier making a Hiesman push? Can Texas survive a trip to Baton Rouge? And is Drew Mestmemaker really making me eat my words?

    Plus: The Buffalo Minute gets a little heated, Pat's Plum's Pick of the week, speed picks, and plenty of college football chaos.

  • Who Do I Actually Trust in College Football | Pat's Top 8 & Week 10 Reactions | Pat on the Back #84
    Nov 10 2026

    College football is starting to separate the contenders from the pretenders, and this weekend gave us plenty to talk about.

    Ohio State has a Jeremiah Smith problem, Georgia continues to look like the most complete team in the country, and UCLA might be even better than I originally thought. Meanwhile, Miami and Notre Dame gave us plenty to reconsider, and Michigan is somehow making an already disappointing season even more disappointing.

    The Big 12 remains an absolute circus. Utah looks like the adult in the room, BYU continues to be a rollercoaster, Texas Tech can score on anybody but apparently can't stop anybody, and Houston might be the most entertaining team nobody is talking about.

    Plus, Alabama has officially made things interesting. I've changed my opinion on the Tide, but don't expect me to suddenly buy into everything the playoff committee is selling.

    And to wrap things up, it's time for Pat's Top Eight. Eight teams, my personal rankings, and a few opinions that I'm sure people will disagree with.

    Who do I trust? Who am I buying? And who is getting a little too much respect?

  • Someone is Getting Exposed This Weekend | College Football Week 10 Picks & Preview | Pat on the Back #83
    Nov 6 2026

    The first CFP rankings are officially here and there are some questions.

    Miami sits at #1, Georgia is right behind them, Utah and BYU are in the top ten, and teams like Texas and Alabama might be getting to much respect. But, how many of these teams do we actually trust.

    This weekend has some massive playoff implications and were breaking down the games that could shake up the entire picture.

    Can BYU survive the Holy war against Utah? Is really deserving of its ranking against Missouri? Can Houston establish itself as a legitimate Big 12 contender? And what happens when Miami faces Notre Dame in one of the biggest games of the weekend.

    Plus: Bama vs LSU, Georhia vs Ole Miss, Ohio State vs Orgeon, speed picks, and Pat's Plum's Pick of the Week.
