Three ranked favorites went down outright this week. Iowa walked into the Big House as a 5.5-point dog and stole it on the final play, Oklahoma State throttled West Virginia in Morgantown, and #4 Ole Miss got run out of the Swamp by Florida, 52-28. Oregon lost Dante Moore to a scary hit and won anyway, and #1 Texas needed 10 sacks of a true freshman QB just to survive Neyland Stadium by three. Mark, Mike Wade, and Darren Steadman break down every big result from the weekend and tell you what it means heading into Week 5.

Season 6, Episode 10 of The Mike Blitz. This week the show tries a new format. Mike Wade, Mark Franzen, and Darren Steadman each bring four things they learned from Week 3, played over four quarters, with each quarter's take stronger than the last.  First half: The middle of the ACC keeps beating itself with penalties. Virginia Tech sits atop the Commonwealth's pecking order, with JMU coming off a road win at San Diego State. West Virginia is fun to watch again. Grunkemeyer is playing like an NFL quarterback. UVA can't stretch the field. Darren also says goodbye to his reliable under bets on Iowa, Michigan, and Auburn.  Second half: Louisville gets penciled into the ACC Championship Game. The case for a quarterback winning the Heisman grows with Kamario Taylor and Keelon Russell. Texas Tech gets called fool's gold. The SEC makes its case for six playoff teams. Miami gets labeled a three-quarter team. And Mike Wade, fresh off Ole Miss beating his LSU Tigers, crowns Trinidad Chambliss the best quarterback in college football.  Then the Quick Six. Darren recaps last week's results and sets six questions for Week 4: Texas at Tennessee, Iowa vs. Michigan, Ole Miss at Florida, Georgia vs. Oklahoma, Oregon at USC, and the race for the FBS receiving yards lead.  Think we got it wrong?

Ohio State led 23-3 going into the fourth quarter and lost 24-23. Texas  scored 21 unanswered, took the AP No. 1 spot, and the Buckeyes dropped to  sixth without a single first-place vote. Mike Wade, Mark Franzen and Darren Steadman go through the entire Week 2  board: what actually went wrong in Austin, why Oregon's loss at Oklahoma  State was a total team failure and not just a coordinator problem, and  whether anybody at this desk deserves to feel good about being 2-0.

Is LSU a top-three team right now, even ranked eighth in the country? Mike Wade, Darren Steadman, and Mark Franzen open Week 2 with Punt or Go For It — five bold claims including LSU's case for the top three, whether Bryce Underwood gets benched at Michigan before October 1st, Dabo Swinney's job security at Clemson, whether Pete Golding is actually a good head coach at Ole Miss, and USC as the national title dark horse nobody's talking about. Then it's a full Week 2 preview and picks: Oregon at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma at Michigan, Ohio State at Texas, Arizona at BYU, Mississippi State at Minnesota, Arizona State at Texas A&M, Alabama at Kentucky, Cal at Syracuse, and Memphis at Boise State — plus homer picks on Tennessee-Georgia Tech, UVA, Virginia Tech, the Cy-Hawk rivalry (Iowa-Iowa State), and LSU-Louisiana Tech. The guys build an 8-leg parlay off their favorite lines from the week. Where do you land on LSU's ranking? Let us know in the comments or the Discord.

Week one was supposed to ease you in. It kicked the door down instead. Lane Kiffin's LSU debut was a 51-10 beatdown of an unranked Clemson team — Mike, Mark, and Darren dig into whether the Tigers just found a new gear or Clemson quit before kickoff. Virginia Tech's defense didn't just beat VMI, they smothered them to 83 total yards. Michigan needed a miracle Hail Mary to escape Western Michigan, and the guys break down why Bryce Underwood's stat line is more mirage than breakout. Plus: the greatest punt in college football history, Iowa's quarterback carousel, and a full slate of Sunday fireworks out of Ole Miss–Louisville, Boise State–Oregon, and more. Darren also grades last week's Quick Six picks and rolls out six brand-new questions for Week 2 — Michigan-Oklahoma, Oregon at Oklahoma State, Pitt-UCF, and a sneaky-good Mississippi State-Minnesota tilt. Play along in the Discord. Do you think LSU's defense is actually that good, or was Clemson just that bad? Let us know.

Week 1 is here and we may have gotten a little ahead of ourselves. After hitting a 16-1 parlay in Week 0, the guys go back to the well and build a nine-leg monster that pays $4,078 on a ten dollar bet. LSU-Clemson, SMU at Florida State, Ole Miss-Louisville, Oregon-Boise State and five more. Also this week: a brand new segment called Punt or Go For It, where Mike lays five bold takes on the table and Mark and Darren have to plant a flag. And a Discord listener who graduated from VMI sends in a scouting report on his own football team ahead of Virginia Tech. It's the best thing we've read all year. Penetrating the A gap since 2021.

Memphis took care of the moneyline. And North Dakota State covered the number.

Two hundred thirty-eight days. That's how long it's been since a college football game meant anything — and Saturday it finally ends. Eight games, one day, and the biggest one on the board got yanked out of Rio de Janeiro and dropped in Charlottesville. Mike Wade, Darren Steadman, and Mark Franzen break down the entire Week 0 slate, debut a brand-new segment, and lock in the first Mike Blitz parlay of the 2026 season. The Quick 6 debuts. Darren's new six-question game — no sides, no totals, just the weird stuff around the matchups. Who starts at QB for Memphis when Charlie Huff won't tell anybody? Does Florida State cover after three quarters? Will USC play a second quarterback? And will the crew get visual confirmation of DJ Diesel — that's Shaquille O'Neal — anywhere in Charlottesville on Saturday? There's a prize on the line, and listeners can play along in the Discord. Picks and previews. UNC–TCU in a Dublin bog. North Dakota State's first-ever FBS game in the Fargodome. Memphis at UNLV, a game Mike is calling a CFP eliminator before September. Plus Darren's admitted heart-play against Florida State that nobody else would touch. Homer time: UVA vs. NC State. Bo Pribula, CJ Bailey, and whether the Hoos have the explosiveness to match a rebuilt offensive line. The parlay. Four legs, roughly 16-to-1. Linked in the Discord if you want to tail it.
