    Bama Has Never Won A Regular Season Game VS OU!

    This week on the MidWeek College Football Breakdown, AntMan and Brandon are flying without Dalton Miller (he’s “working,” allegedly) and unpacking one of the wildest Saturdays of the season. They start with Oklahoma’s statement win over Alabama, running through a full Good / Bad / Ugly on the Sooners: a smothering defense, elite special teams, an offense that’s still finding its footing, and why nobody in the SEC really wants a piece of OU right now.From there, they jump into:🏉 Texas A&M’s insane comeback vs South Carolina – why this felt like “that A&M game”… except the Aggies actually finished the job.🏉 Georgia vs Texas between the hedges – Gunnar Stockton’s quiet dominance, Texas’ broken run game, and the unfair expectations hanging over Arch Manning.🏉 Ole Miss vs Florida – Quinshon Judkins-style dominance from the Ole Miss backfield, Florida’s second-half faceplant, and why the Gators’ program feels stuck in neutral.🏉OU vs Mizzou preview – strength-on-strength as a top-10 Sooner defense squares off with a top-25 Missouri offense, what worries OU most, and why Tate Sandell might be the GOAT for a long time.They close with this week’s pick’em and locks, including a spicy USC–Oregon line, an underdog Brandon can’t quit, and a quick look at how Auburn could still wreck Alabama’s playoff hopes.__Be sure to follow the show:Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/MidWeekBreakdownX: https://www.x.com/MidWkBreakdownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MidWeekBreakdownFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MidWeekBreakdown

    The New Immaculate Reception?

    This week on MidWeek College Football Breakdown, AntMan, Brandon, and Dalton kick off Week 12 by talking injuries, rest, and reality for Oklahoma after the off week—what’s the latest on Gentry Williams and R Mason Thomas, and did the break actually help heading into Alabama?They roll through Good, Bad & Ugly from a wild weekend, including:Catch of the Year? Omar Cooper Jr.’s insane toe-tap game-winner for Indiana at Penn State, plus love for the back judge and the cameraman who nailed the shot.Tortilla Time in Lubbock – Texas Tech’s defense smothers undefeated BYU, wrecking the Cougars’ playoff hopes and turning Jones AT&T Stadium into a madhouse.Auburn in chaos – A wild shootout with Vanderbilt where both quarterbacks go off, the defenses disappear, and Auburn’s season somehow gets even messier.Then it’s all eyes on Oklahoma at Alabama:Can OU’s defense stop Ty Simpson from carving them up through the air?Why Brent Venables has to get aggressive instead of sitting back in soft zone.The red-zone and 3rd-down numbers that should make Sooner fans nervous.What a win does for OU’s playoff hopes—and what kind of loss they absolutely can’t afford.The guys also rant about Notre Dame’s independent advantage, sort out the crowded playoff picture, and close with their Week 12 picks & locks, including: Louisville–Clemson, Texas–Georgia “between the hedges,” South Carolina–Texas A&M, Notre Dame–Pitt, UCF–Texas Tech, Iowa–USC, and upset/betting angles like Mississippi State vs. Mizzou.If you love Sooners talk, chaos in college football, and arguing over who’s overrated, this is your midweek fix. 🏈__Be sure to follow the show:Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/MidWeekBreakdownX: https://www.x.com/MidWkBreakdownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MidWeekBreakdownFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MidWeekBreakdown

    TENNESSEE PREGAME IS ELITE!

    The coaching carousel is heating up, but Week 11 belonged to wild swings and fourth-quarter gut checks. We open in Knoxville, where Oklahoma weathered a blackout night game and left with a W thanks to a havoc-happy defense (scoop-and-score, anyone?) and a revived ground game that bullied late. We kick around OU’s inconsistency on offense, what the staff should tweak during the bye, and exactly how to bother Alabama’s QB in Tuscaloosa.Then it’s Good/Bad/Ugly across the country:🏉 Texas vs. Vanderbilt: Arch turns in his cleanest start of the year and Texas jumps out fast, but the Horns’ defense springs leaks late as Vandy surges back. Why complementary football still isn’t… well, complementary.🏉 Miami vs. SMU: SMU’s QB spins it for 365, yet the Ponies finish regulation with negative rush yards before OT fixes the box score. Miami’s penalties and turnovers turn a winnable game into a rerun of last season’s fade.🏉 World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party: Georgia survives Florida—again. We dig into the Dawgs’ new bad habit of slow starts, Florida’s brutal third- and fourth-down numbers, and whether “survive and advance” will fly against Texas.Plus: uniform talk (those Tennessee “dark mode” threads… but give us matte helmets), OU injury notes, why OU must pressure Bama’s passer, and a little midweek life—yard work, honey-do lists, and the reminder that “the weekend is good, but the midweek is always better.”__Be sure to follow the show:Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/MidWeekBreakdownX: https://www.x.com/MidWkBreakdownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MidWeekBreakdownFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MidWeekBreakdown

    AS THE CAROUSEL TURNS!

    Another one bites the dust—Brian Kelly is out at LSU, and the coaching carousel is spinning like crazy. AntMan and Matt open with what Kelly’s ouster means for an already bonkers hiring cycle and how that reality shapes Oklahoma’s decisions around Brent Venables (and which assistant spots might be the first to change). We unpack OU’s 34–26 loss at Ole Miss—QB vision, red-zone calls, third- and fourth-down execution, and why the Sooners should feature Xavier Robinson—and set the stage for a Saturday night fight at Rocky Top with the keys to slowing Tennessee and cranking up the pressure on defense.Around the country: Texas A&M’s statement second half vs. LSU, Texas surviving Mississippi State in OT (and the ripple effects of Arch’s status), and Vanderbilt’s shocker over Missouri as Clark Lea’s crew keeps rolling. We close with picks and locks: Vandy–Texas, Georgia–Florida, Tech–K-State, Ole Miss–South Carolina, USC–Nebraska, Cincy–Utah, plus our Lock of the Week. Dalton’s out this week after his first game with Manhattan Christian College—but he sent in his picks, and yes, there’s house drama riding on Nebraska–USC.Hit play for candid Sooners talk, SEC chaos, and betting angles you’ll actually use.__Be sure to follow the show:Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/MidWeekBreakdownX: https://www.x.com/MidWkBreakdownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MidWeekBreakdownFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MidWeekBreakdown

We break down the good, the bad, and the ugly from A&M–Arkansas and Texas–Kentucky (special teams shine while the Longhorn offense sputters), and revisit Georgia–Ole Miss, where Gunner Stockton’s late heroics met a very un-Georgia start on defense. Then it’s all eyes on Norman: an Oklahoma–Ole Miss preview with the keys for OU to control tempo, protect a still-mending QB, and keep Lane Kiffin’s bunch from lighting up the scoreboard. We close with rapid-fire picks (South Florida–Memphis, UCLA–Indiana, Missouri–Vandy, Texas–Mississippi State, Alabama–South Carolina, A&M–LSU) and our locks of the week.__Be sure to follow the show:Instagram: https://www.Instagram.com/MidWeekBreakdownX: https://www.x.com/MidWkBreakdownTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@MidWeekBreakdownFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/MidWeekBreakdown
