Episode 508, and the Canes aren't undefeated anymore. The new College Football Playoff rankings drop Miami to No. 7, behind a two-loss Texas team, and the boys have thoughts. Lots of them. Why does the ACC even have a guy in that room? How does Wake Forest still sit at 13? And how is Duke, the defending ACC champ at 7-2, not in the top 25 at all? Toast says follow the TV money. Ro says fine, then just admit it. Nobody's thrilled about conference title games going away, either.
Then it's Duke week. Manny Diaz brings the Blue Devils to town for a noon kickoff, months after Miami took his starting quarterback and top receiver, with an FSU job rumor floating around him and an offensive line that's allowed four sacks all season. Miami is laying 13 and a half and nobody at the table sounds comfortable. We set the over/unders for Darian Mensah, Elija Lofton, Mohamed Toure, missed tackles and a Canes pass rush that still can't find the quarterback. We revisit Shannon Dawson's explanation of that goal-line run, pitch free A-Gap for Life shirts for his lawn crew, and hand out keys to the game.
Plus Miami (Ohio) gets flagged 15 yards for putting fake goalposts on the video board, Mark Matthews heads to Georgia, Jordon Hudson sues over the Belichick photo, and Rex Ryan's arrest in Nashville gets the Cookie Monster treatment. We close with picks on Illinois-UCLA, Wake Forest-SMU, USC-Indiana, Utah-Arizona and Texas-LSU, then score predictions for Duke-Miami. One of us picked Duke. You'll hear about it.
We're live Saturday for brunch with the boys. Go Canes.

Your Miami Hurricanes lost at Notre Dame, 31-24, and yeah, we have to talk about it. A brutal first half in 40-degree South Bend put the Canes in a 24-3 hole. They clawed back, had the ball with a minute left and a real shot, and then a Lofton catch in the end zone got waved off. Were we robbed? Maybe. But you can't play a half like that and expect to walk out with a win.
The boys get into the "Houdini for a half" offense under Shannon Dawson, why ditching the run in the second half actually opened things up, and a defense that gave up 30-plus again and still can't get off the field when it counts. That fourth-down swing route to the running back? That was the ballgame. Toast stands by last week's rant (sorry to his wife) and has a few words for the people who didn't like it.
Credit where it's due, though. Mario Cristobal has a team that doesn't fold: 42 straight games now without losing by more than seven. Elija Lofton and Cooper Barkate combined for 17 catches, 200 yards and three touchdowns with Malachi Toney out, so can those two carry the offense to the ACC title game? Ro breaks down why the nation's top run defense might be costing Miami its pass rush, and we look at Notre Dame's corners next to ours, the first-play pick six that got away, and what the AP voters and the playoff committee do with this one.
Plus a lap around a wild Saturday: Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Utah and UCLA as the last two unbeatens. Three games left, all at home. Everything is still in front of them.
Go Canes.

Baby Jesus is out. About 30 minutes before we hit record, word came down that Malachi Toney needs ankle surgery, and now the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes go to South Bend on Saturday night without their best player. The line jumped to seven and a half. The mood took a hit. Somebody had to take a canoe to Pollo Tropical.
Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast work through what this offense looks like without Toney: more Cooper Barkate, more Elijah Lofton, maybe a coming-out party for a freshman the way Toney had against Notre Dame last year. We also get to the uncomfortable truth that losing Darian Mensah would have been worse. Then the CFP rankings. The committee told the ACC it's getting one team in, Wake Forest got done dirty, and the guys argue over whether Notre Dame is closer to 4 or 11.
The big one is the defense. We play Bill Belichick's comments after the 38-35 win at UNC, where he basically says Carolina knew everything Corey Hetherman was going to call because it's the same stuff Miami has run since Week 1. Toast does not take it well. Ro answers with three specific fixes: lay off the simulated pressure fronts, drop the cut mechanics, and rethink the 3-by-1 looks now that Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor are gone.
Also in this one: the 1988 CBS open with a young Brent Musburger (30 seconds on Notre Dame, 10 on Miami), a shout-out to Andrew Novak on his first solo PGA Tour win, the Notre Dame podcast that called Miami "unintelligent thugs" and then wiped itself off the internet, player over/unders, keys to the game, and the FSU coaching search. Manny Diaz? Jimbo again? And why Miami's money picture looks nothing like Tallahassee's.
We close with picks on a stacked Saturday slate: BYU-Utah, Texas-Mizzou, Alabama-LSU, Oregon-Ohio State, Kentucky-Tennessee, Georgia-Ole Miss, and our final scores for Miami at Notre Dame. Toast may or may not be wearing a pope hat.
Recap show drops Sunday morning. Go Canes.
00:00 Malachi Toney needs ankle surgery
03:09 Scoop goes overboard + the flood (canoe to Pollo Tropical)
04:46 Life without Toney and the line moving to 7.5
07:26 CFP rankings: one ACC bid and the Wake Forest snub

Miami is 8-0, and nobody on this show is celebrating. The No. 1 Hurricanes went to Chapel Hill and got out with a 38-35 win over North Carolina, and the morning after, Ro, Scoop and Toast are trying to figure out how a secondary full of four-star talent got carved up like that.
UNC went 8-for-11 on third down, 2-for-2 on fourth down and 5-for-5 in the red zone, all touchdowns. Their quarterback put up his best passing night in years, and the Belichick and Petrino game plan kept finding guys wide open by stealing stuff other teams already hit Miami with: the Florida State screen, the Stanford tight end spacing look, and a lot of motion against simulated pressure. Ro goes through what he saw on the Skycast and has one message for Corey Hetherman. You're a fastball guy. It's time to learn a changeup. Be like Pedro.
The guys also get into the onside kick re-dos at the end (and why every other fan base is mad about it), a hands team that never touched the ball, and whether Miami was good or just lucky. Scoop has the Canes losing 11 of 12 rounds and winning the fight on one big right hand from Malachi Toney and Darian Mensah. Mark Fletcher found the end zone three times, and one of the guys wants full credit for calling it.
Plus: Hate Week is here with Notre Dame in primetime on NBC, a smoke detector that would not stop chirping, scores from around the country, how everybody's over/unders cashed, the playoff math if Miami drops one, Wake Forest's run since losing to the Canes, a Belichick stat you have to hear to believe, and the FSU timeline after a 72-yard run on third-and-14.
Fix your face. Go Canes.

Miami is 7-0 and No. 1 in the country. North Carolina has also beaten the Canes five straight times. Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast deal with both of those facts on Episode 504 of the Orange Bowl Boys.
Mario Cristobal flat out refused to let a reporter say the words "Notre Dame" this week, and the guys loved every second of it. Bill Belichick, on the other hand, could not stop talking about Malachi Toney. That sets up the big question of the week: if the Heisman were handed out tomorrow, does it go to Toney or Darian Mensah? We also go through where Toney already sits in the Miami record book a year and a half into his career, and how his numbers line up with Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith.
Heather Dinich floated a two-loss Miami playoff scenario on ESPN, and it did not go over well in this room. Then the guys get into whether Miami should leave the ACC and go independent with a streaming deal, and fire back at the USA Today column telling the Canes to be careful what they wish for.
After that it's game prep for Saturday night in Chapel Hill. We look at what the UNC defense gives up, set five (okay, six) over/unders for Mensah, Toney, Mark Fletcher Jr. and the defense, and each of us gives three keys to the game. Picks against the spread for Florida-Georgia, Northwestern at Oregon, Clemson at Florida State and Ohio State at USC close it out, along with our final score predictions for Miami at North Carolina.
Also in this one: Chase Daniel's "Cocktober," the goblet of wine that got the better of Toast, and why you can shake the delivery guy's hand with no pants on.
Go Canes.

Miami answered the "are they really No. 1?" crowd the best way they could. A week after the double-overtime grind against Florida State, the Canes went out and beat Pitt 52-23 in a game that was never close. And that 23 should have been 16, but we'll get to the busted coverage.
Ro, Scoop, Toast and Jenners recap the win that puts Miami at 7-0 and 5-0 in the ACC. Malachi Toney had 12 catches in the first half and finished with 16 for 194 yards and three touchdowns, a new school record for receptions in a game. Scoop gets quizzed on who held it before, and the answer takes everybody back to the Harley to the U days. Darian Mensah went 31-of-37 for 387 yards and four scores, but one throw that got dropped and flipped the momentum for a few minutes turns into a full argument that nobody wins.
We also get into the running back rotation. Is Mallory the real 1A behind this offensive line, and where does that leave Mark Fletcher Jr.? Plus Jordan Lyle running angry, the early sacks against Pat Narduzzi's front, and the one thing keeping this from being a generational Miami defense: a secondary that still can't find the ball in the air.
Then the fun stuff. The throwback jerseys and the 2001 national title team's 25-year reunion at halftime, why the Adidas pants don't fit anybody, how our prop bets did, and a bold call for Halloween night in Chapel Hill against Bill Belichick and North Carolina before the trip to Notre Dame. We close with scores from around college football and the Saturday night games worth staying up for.
The North Carolina preview drops Thursday. Go Canes.

For the first time since 2002, the Miami Hurricanes are the No. 1 team in the country, and the boys have been waiting 24 years to say it out loud. Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast argue over whether a midseason ranking actually means anything (Mario says no trophies get handed out in October), and Ro makes the case that none of this happened by accident. Five years of recruiting, rebuilding and getting punched in the face got Miami here, and now a whole generation of kids gets to see the U on top.
Jenners reports back from Atlanta sports radio, where every Georgia loss somehow turned into a conversation about Miami's schedule. That leads to the NIL tweet that blew up, Ro calling the SEC the college Karens, and a check on the Top 25 (Utah, who have you played?). We also hear Mario on the Joe Rose Show, Mark Fletcher giving all the credit to Javion Mallory after the Florida State win, and our friend Josh Pray having a full meltdown about Miami being No. 1.
Then it's on to Pitt. Pat Narduzzi is running his mouth again about Mario and the transfer portal, and the guys break down how you beat a Narduzzi defense that loads the box: play action, shots downfield and maybe, just once, a running back screen. Plus the forecast that's calling for a soaked noon kickoff at Hard Rock, the O-line stunt problem from last week, over/unders for Mensah, Toney and Mallory, keys to the game, pick 'em standings, this week's picks and score predictions. And yes, there's a colonoscopy story.
Go Canes.

Miami beat Florida State 43-35 in double overtime, on the same Saturday five of the top eight teams in the country went down. It wasn't pretty. The Canes piled up 583 yards of offense and still needed two extra periods to put away a Seminoles team they should've handled. We break down how FSU hung around: Mike Norvell refusing to kick (nobody attempted a field goal all night), a field position gap that had Miami starting deep in its own end while FSU kept getting the ball near midfield, back-to-back personal fouls, and three Darian Mensah plays he'd like back.
Then the run game. Is "A-gap for life" dead with this offensive line? Javion Mallory went for 108 yards on 13 carries and might be RB1 now, Mark Fletcher is playing through a wrist issue, and yes, we have thoughts on where Girard Pringle ends up. Plus Malachi Toney's two-point throw, true freshman Stafford stepping in when Toney went down, and what went wrong in the secondary on Deuce Robinson's 75-yard touchdown.
We also get to the rest of the carnage: Georgia losing to Auburn at home, Notre Dame falling at BYU, Florida knocking off Texas, Julian Sayin's injury at Ohio State, and whether Miami is about to be No. 1 for the first time since 2002. We wrap with AP poll predictions, why college football is turning into NHL hockey, how big the playoff should really be, and a look ahead at Pitt at noon, UNC on Halloween and the trip to Notre Dame.

Five hundred episodes. Four guys, one podcast, and a first episode that almost never came out because the audio was cooked. And the night we hit 500 just happens to be Florida State week. Couldn't have drawn it up any better.
We start by tooting our own horns for once: how this thing started on a Vox Pro with maybe four people waiting for it, what 500 episodes has meant to each of us, and why this show only works with four. Then it's the new AP Top 25, with Miami at No. 3 and Alabama somehow not moving after a loss, a Gator fan begging FSU for help, Billy Napier living his best life at JMU, and SMU's recruiting class sitting dead last in the ACC.
Then our friend Rudy Fernandez, UM's Executive Vice President for University Operations and Senior Advisor to the President, comes back for his third appearance on the show. Rudy talks about the move from Adidas to Nike, why Miami's next athletic director will look more like a CEO of athletics, the piece of the federal college sports bill Miami wants changed (and why it only helps two schools), the new 30-year campus agreement with Coral Gables, NIL budgets, and what Mario Cristobal has done to build a player-led team. He also shares a great story about his son and a travel-ball coach, admits Dalvin Cook still gives him nightmares, and has a few thoughts on the national media and Notre Dame. And yes, somebody calls Jai Lucas "Jay Clark." We love Jay Clark.
IP Daily checks in with a 500th-episode tribute only IP Daily could write. Then it's on to Saturday: keys to the game against a Florida State team limping in at 3-3, over/unders for Darian Mensah, Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher Jr. and Damon Wilson, our weekly picks (Ohio State-Indiana, Florida-Texas, Alabama-Tennessee, Mizzou-Ole Miss and Notre Dame-BYU), and final score predictions for Miami-FSU.
To everybody who's listened along the way, from the first four people to now: thank you. Go Canes.

Miami is 5-0, sitting at No. 4 in the AP poll, and finally getting a week off. With the bye here and Hate Week up next, the boys hand out mid-season grades for every position group on the roster.
First, Dabo. According to Dabo Swinney, if you take away the pick six and the field goal off a turnover, Clemson was right there. Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast have some thoughts on that. They also get into Brian Kelly lecturing Shannon Dawson about how to be a coordinator, Greg McElroy calling Miami the best team in the ACC by a mile, and why Nick Saban keeps going all in on Mario's team. Plus the right guard's selfie from the surgery table, the latest on Lightfoot and Buchanan, and whether a 5-0 start means anything after what happened last October.
Then it's report card time. Darian Mensah is completing 84% of his passes with zero picks. The defensive line is leading the country against the run. And the linebacker room, the group this show has complained about for eight straight years, might be the best surprise of the season. Not everybody is handing out A's, though. Toast brought the red pen for the secondary.
We close with a Gainesville radio host calling the cops on a caller after Jadan Baugh's rough night against Missouri, then picks for FSU at Louisville, UNC at Pitt, the Red River Shootout, UCLA at Oregon, LSU at Kentucky, and Georgia at Alabama, if that one gets played at all. Episode 500 drops next Thursday with the FSU preview. Don't miss it.
Go Canes.

Your Miami Hurricanes went into Death Valley on a Saturday night and came home with a 41-13 win, a 5-0 record and sole possession of first place in the ACC. Ro, Scoop and Toast are back to break down a game that checked every box.
It opened with a three-and-out and a Cooper Barkate touchdown on the second offensive snap. It closed with the offensive line bullying Clemson for nine straight runs and 83 yards right when Miami needed a drive. The guys get into the two response drives, Chase Smith's heads-up play on the snap, why Clemson basically stopped trying to run the ball, and how Miami won big on the road on a night when Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney weren't at their best. Ro also collects on an O-line take he never backed off of. Turns out the line heard all the criticism and took it personally.
The injury list keeps getting longer, so the crew asks if that's bad luck or something Mario Cristobal has to answer for with how Greentree practices are run. Either way, the bye week could not have come at a better time before FSU.
Then it's around the country. Florida got bamboozled by Mizzou, Pitt lost its quarterback, Virginia Tech looks legit under James Franklin, and Wake Forest and Duke are hanging around. Canes Research has a 5-0 stat every Miami fan wants to hear. We settle up the over/unders, relive the late pick-six that got Mario more fired up than we've seen him in years, and look ahead to a possible top-five showdown at Notre Dame on November 7.
Ro's Student of the Game vs Clemson is LIVE on the channel - go check it out now! Plus, nid-season position group grades drop Wednesday during the bye week. Subscribe so you don't miss it, and as always, Go Canes.

Miami is 4-0, ranked No. 4, and heading into Death Valley as a 16.5-point favorite. That makes this the biggest underdog Dabo Swinney has been in his entire run at Clemson. Oh, and the forecast says it's going to pour.
Former Clemson offensive lineman and ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain is back on the show, sitting in front of a "worst loss in school history" backdrop that we noticed immediately. Emac tells us why the line feels off to him, who wins the ground game if the weather turns this into a slugfest, and what Clemson has to do to get Darian Mensah off his spot. He makes the case for Mensah as the best quarterback in the country, talks through who on Clemson's roster can even try to stay with Malachi Toney, and gives an honest answer on how Dabo has handled NIL and the portal. Then he makes his pick. Canes fans won't love it.
Once Emac leaves, Ro, Scoop and Toast go back and forth on whether the rain actually helps Clemson. Ro thinks it does the opposite and takes the crowd right out of the game, which is how the Polo Pals were born. We also get into the injury report, player prop over/unders for Mensah, Toney, Fletcher and Damon Wilson, everybody's keys to the game, and a few honest feelings about Dabo.
Week 5 picks include Pitt at Virginia Tech, Notre Dame at North Carolina, Alabama at Mississippi State, Ohio State at Iowa, Florida at Missouri, UVA at Florida State, and of course Miami at Clemson with final scores. We wrap with that USC radio booth call on the Dante Moore hit and a little something that's probably headed for Benched.

Miami beat Central Michigan 52-3, and for a good chunk of the night the refs were somehow the bigger story. Ro, Toast and Jenners (filling in for Scoop) get into a game with roughly 30 penalties, 12 of them in the fourth quarter alone, and why all those false starts and holds have them a little nervous about a prime time trip to Death Valley.
The good stuff still won out. Miami ran for 201 yards to CMU's 21, outgained them 572 to 158 and went 7 for 7 in the red zone. Four games in, the Canes have the No. 1 run defense in the country at 39.5 yards a game, and that's without Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor. We also get into Damon Wilson II getting robbed of a sack and a scoop-and-score, Malachi Toney's run of 100-yard games, Cooper Barkate's scramble-drill touchdown, and Darian Mensah becoming the first player in FBS history with more touchdown passes (14) than incompletions (12) through four games.
Then Vegas posted the Clemson line and the room lost it. Miami opened as a 17.5-point road favorite, it ticked up to 18.5 on DraftKings while we were recording, and nobody at the table knows what to do with that.
Also on the show: the ACC scoreboard, Wake Forest knocking off Louisville, PJ Fleck's postgame moment at Washington, the hit on Dante Moore, whether the Big Ten is top-heavy this year, the SEC's push for conference-adjusted playoff selection, our ugly picks record, and a little MLB Wild Card talk before we sign off.
Go check out Ro's Student of the Game breakdowns, and catch us live on the stream. The Clemson preview drops later this week ahead of Saturday night in Death Valley, 7:30 on ABC. Go Canes.

Miami is 3-0, leads the country in total offense at 702 yards a game, and went down a spot in the AP poll anyway. Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast try to make sense of the drop to No. 6, and most of it comes back to one bad half against Wake Forest. Darian Mensah has 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions, the run defense is holding teams to 45.7 yards a game, and the voters slid Ole Miss ahead of the Canes the minute that game-sealing interception photo hit the internet.
From there it's film talk. The secondary is missing its top three corners, so who holds it down now? Wake Forest stunted Miami's interior line all night, and the young guards took their lumps. Scoop has a pretty simple fix: kick Cantwell back outside to tackle and slide McCoy inside to guard. The general feeling in the room is that Wake did Miami a favor by exposing all of this in a double-digit win.
Also this week, Mario Cristobal's not-quite-a-complaint about Miami being the only team in the country that hasn't played on a Saturday, a surprisingly heated argument over whether penguins have teeth, and Adidas dropping a 2001 tribute video the same week Miami announced it's going back to Nike. Great video. Still a breakup.
Then it's Central Michigan week. The Chippewas are 2-1, Angel Flores leads every quarterback in the country with 312 rushing yards, and they've got the best pass defense in the MAC. The guys set over/unders for Mensah, Mark Fletcher Jr., Jordan Lyle and Flores, give their keys to the game, and take a detour through NC State's end zone disaster and Jimbo Fisher's ACC Network audition. Picks close it out with Texas at Tennessee, Ole Miss at Florida, Oregon at USC and the big question: is anybody taking the Canes to cover 41 and a half? Nobody is.

Miami went to Wake Forest on a Friday night and came home with a 33-20 win. The scoreboard looks fine. The injury report and the second half don’t.
Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast do the recap Saturday morning. The Canes looked historic for 30 minutes and mortal for the next 30, with a pile of three-and-outs and a lot of bubble screens that went nowhere. The defense is the reason this stayed a win. Corey Heatherman sent a safety at Gio Lopez on nearly every snap in the fourth quarter, and Wake Forest finished with 22 rushing yards.
The guys go through who’s hurt (Malachi Toney, Mark Fletcher, a thin secondary, and at least one player who may be done for the year), whether the offense really falls apart without them, and why Shannon Dawson keeps disappearing for entire halves. There’s also a real-talk monologue aimed at Dawson, an argument over Mario Cristobal sending the kicker out for a 54-yarder, a rant about a broadcast that seemed to have one camera, and a hard look at an offensive line that isn’t last year’s group yet.
Darian Mensah still had a big night, but he missed a few he doesn’t usually miss, and the guys talk about why teams will keep coming after him with the blitz. Central Michigan is next, then Clemson.
Good teams win, great teams cover. Miami was a good team Friday night. Whether they get to be great is the whole conversation.

Josh Pray pulls up on the show fresh off a Florida win to talk trash, and Ro, Scoop and Toast let him have it right back — Nike money, Chris Leak's arm, the Swamp, all of it. Then the news actually breaks mid-show: Miami and Nike just signed a 10-year, $20 million-a-year deal, and the guys spend a solid chunk of the episode arguing about what that means for the jersey rotation, the Jumpman brand, and whether Mario Cristobal's going to keep it simple or go full Oregon with it.
Once Josh heads out, it's back to business — the FAMU blowout and the beef between Mario and FAMU's coach over running up the score, a check-in on the defense and where Damon Wilson's been hiding, and the fact that Miami still hasn't hired an athletic director. Then it's fair game on Oklahoma's John Mateer, who Gator and Cane fans alike have been listing on Facebook Marketplace after that Michigan game.
The back half is all Wake Forest — Gio Lopez as a real dual-threat problem, keys to the game, surprise stat picks, over/unders, and a full slate of weekend picks across the ACC and SEC.

Miami didn't just beat FAMU on Thursday night — they buried them, 77-7, and it looked different from any blowout the Canes have put up in years. Ro, Jenners, Scoop, and Toast break down why the win felt as dominant as the score suggests: Luke Nickel's sharp run at backup quarterback, a freshman class already making plays, and a roster so deep it ranks 119th nationally in transfer portal additions and still looks like this.
The guys hit the record-setting 856 total yards, a 17-receiver box score, and Javion Mallory's Frank Gore comparisons, then move on to the rest of the college football weekend. That includes an IP Daily rant on Oregon's regret over letting Mario Cristobal walk, Oklahoma State's stunner over the Ducks, an early case of "fraud season," and the full story on the wild Ohio State-Texas finish. Steve Sarkisian's postgame attitude gets called out, Notre Dame's win over Rice draws some pointed reactions, and the crew previews Miami's Week 3 trip to Wake Forest before catching up on Duke's Manny Diaz and the rest of the ACC.

Miami's home opener spread against Florida A&M is up near 56 and a half, and Ro, Scoop, Toast, and Jenners open the show wondering if that's even a real point spread or just a weather advisory. From there it's a full lap around the sport: the Hurricanes get snubbed out of a Top 25 ballot entirely (an actual human forgot to include them), Nick Saban goes on College GameDay and picks Miami to win the national title, and the guys spend a long stretch on why Malachi Toney has turned into the best receiver in the country, Michael Irvin audio included.
There's real injury news mixed into the chaos, too. OJ's shoulder situation gets a timeline (probably not back until November), and the crew works through what that means for a secondary that's also missing Antoine and leaning on a true freshman. On the national side, Sam Darnold goes down with a hip injury in the opener, which somehow turns into the show's title. Clemson gets run out of its own building in an ACC-opener disaster, and Florida State's stadium lights go dark on national TV, kicking off a long, detailed breakdown of just how broke that athletic department actually is.
Football gets a real preview too: Florida A&M lines, player props, over/unders, keys to the game, and score predictions for tonight, plus a full slate of Week 2 games around the country including the Ohio State-Texas showdown in Austin. Weekly picks standings get updated, and the guys close with a look ahead to Wake Forest.
Basically: rankings drama, receiver worship, a coordinator you've never heard of who's quietly great, and a stadium that can't keep the lights on. Business as usual.

Miami didn’t just beat Stanford, they made a statement — 45‑6 on the road to open the season, and Ro, Jenners, Scoop, and Toast are still trying to process what they watched. This one’s mostly about Malachi Toney, who put up 234 yards and 3 touchdowns and was out of the game by the third quarter, and Darian Mensah, who completed 90% of his passes in his Miami debut and made every throw look like a handoff.
The guys break down the offensive line’s guard competition, the running back situation (including where Jordan Lyle stood on gameday), and the new personnel groupings Shannon Dawson rolled out. On the other side of the ball, they dig into why Corey Heatherman’s defense held Stanford to six points despite giving up some chunk plays, why Chase Smith’s linebacker play got wrongly criticized on social media, and how 13 true freshmen found their way onto the field in a true road conference opener.
There’s also a real debate about whether this Miami offense belongs in the conversation with the program’s best‑ever units, some very early points‑per‑game math for the season, a total left‑turn into a Kelly Clarkson K‑pop cover, and Ro sharing a personal story from his high school coaching gig the same weekend.

HERE. WE. GO!
Miami opens the season on the road, and the guys break down every angle of Friday night's trip to Stanford before the picks come in. Ro, Scoop and Toast get into the number seven Hurricanes laying 24 and a half against a Cardinal team missing four cornerbacks and a chunk of their starting front, plus what Stanford's surprisingly efficient outing against Hawaii actually means heading into this one.
From there it's a full breakdown of the Miami offensive line battle up front, where last year's starters are gone and two true freshman guards could see the field together for the first time. Darian Mensah gets the Heisman-watch treatment, with Josh Pate's early top-10 quarterback rankings sparking some pushback, and the crew lays out why Shannon Dawson's scheme is finally built for a guy who can push the ball downfield.
The second half turns into vintage OBB: game props on personnel groupings, sacks and third-down conversions, a Lane Kiffin and LSU legal fight over NFL eligibility rules, way too much time spent on The Sopranos, and the strangest sports story of the week involving a fake NFL player and a six-figure romance scam. Ro also brings receipts from his new gig as a high school coach, rattlesnakes and all.
It all wraps with three keys to the game from each host and the full slate of Week 1 picks against the spread, capped off by Miami-Stanford score predictions ahead of Friday's 9 PM kickoff.

Okay, NOW it's the final Benched of the year!... So instead of watchlists, predictions, or NFL nonsense... we're talking about Darth Vader, offensive Halloween costumes, legendary wedding vows and Oreo-Chicken burgers!... Welcome to the FINAL OBB Benched of the offseason!
Jenners breaks down the Target Halloween costume controversy and the ad that torched Good Good Golf's entire brand overnight, then things get properly unhinged — Baylen Dupree's wedding vows clip, a Flock camera protester dressed as Darth Vader, a South Florida weatherman who couldn't hold it together live on air, and a kids' show moment that was definitely not meant for kids.

It's the last show of the offseason and Ro, Scoop and Toast run back the Nick Saban and Mario Cristobal audio that dropped the same day last week, then get into whether the ACC has enough teams built to actually go toe-to-toe with the SEC. The take: Mario might be part of the problem, since Miami is currently sitting on eight of the ACC's top 10 recruits and starving the rest of the conference.
From there the guys hit their nationwide storylines heading into the year — Arch Manning and whether Texas finally breaks through, a Virginia Tech team they're genuinely excited about under James Franklin, and the Florida State coaching search with no obvious answer once Norvell is gone. They also get into the NCAA's new rule blocking players who were on active pro rosters from returning to college ball, and the mess it's already causing at LSU under Lane Kiffin.
Also: an NFL owner's rough week makes headlines, the Dolphins' dead money situation gets roasted, and the crew closes with three Week Zero picks before locking in an episode title live on the show.

We miscounted... so there is actually one more show to go after this one! So instead of rankings, predictions or hype... we're talking about beaver meat, dirty fighting, Chucky look-alikes and unforeseen street closures... welcome to OBB Benched!
Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast are back for the penultimate Benched of the offseason, and this one's a grab bag: a local news anchor losing it over beaver meat, a stadium brawl with commentary that sounds exactly like Bill Burr, and a costumed street chaser in Philadelphia who picked the wrong woman to mess with.
Also in the mix: a firehouse in DC gets shut down over a very not-a-bomb, a QVC caller has had enough, and the guys close it out with Five Questions covering a 24-hour song on loop, when someone actually becomes an adult, the dumbest reason they've heard for a divorce, culture shock stories from three different continents, and the one thing they're each glad they did once and will never do again.

Ro, Scoop and Toast finally put their names on the board with official Week 1 through Week 13 predictions for the Miami Hurricanes—and yes, everyone lands on 11-and-1. The guys react to Miami's No. 7 preseason AP ranking (with one lone first-place vote), argue over which other top-10 team is due for a letdown, and make the case for why the Canes might actually be the most underrated team in the country.
Also on deck: Jordan Lyle's arrest and what it means heading into the season, Cam Vaughn's exit from the receiver room, Florida State missing the AP Top 25 for the fifth time under Mike Norvell, and a look at Darian Mensah's numbers against the blitz. Shannon Dawson talks tempo and explosiveness, the guys break down an offensive line that lost a wave of talent to the NFL, and it all builds to the biggest question on the schedule: does Miami survive the trip to Notre Dame?
Toast also announces his first game as a high school defensive assistant, the guys settle old business from last year's predictions, and there's the usual sponsor reads and detours before the season actually kicks off.

With only two shows to go before we give way to the Recap Shooooow... instead of rankings, hype or payrolls, we're talking about off-color jokes, impalements, snakes in your helmet, and machetes versus hatchets in the Publix parking lot... welcome to OBB Benched!
Only two Benched episodes left before the real season takes over, and this one runs the gamut. Pat McAfee gets dragged for his Hall of Fame induction speech (and has to go apologize for it on Dan Patrick), a high school football player in Arkansas finds out the hard way that a cottonmouth snake had been living in his helmet for an hour, and a road rage incident in a Publix parking lot escalates into a genuine machete-versus-hatchet standoff. Naturally, the guys have opinions on who won.
In between: the ongoing debate over the Food Gospel of Scoop (this week's entry involves canned tuna, boxed mac and cheese, and a very specific draining technique), a long detour into whether any snake can actually be a good pet, and the usual Five Questions round covering the best cheese for a grilled cheese, the phrase that's stuck with you for years, the sound that instantly spikes your heart rate, first kiss stories, and which sport actually produces the best all-around athlete.
Orange Bowl Boys drops weekly, with OBB Benched as the companion show for everything that doesn't fit the main feed. Two more Benched episodes before kickoff — subscribe so you don't miss the season preview.

Jake Crain from On3 pulls up for the season's first guest appearance — a few days before his wife's due date — and doesn't hedge: he's got Miami at number one, not seven like the cumulative poll had it. Ro, Jenners, Scoop, and Toast get into why: what a reloaded offensive line actually needs to look like behind Jackson Cantwell, what Darian Mensah changes about the offense's ceiling compared to last year's run-heavy attack, and why the defense's identity as one of the most physical groups in the country isn't going anywhere with Rueben Fatheree and Corey Flagg gone.
From there it's a full off-season rundown. Miami's $44 million payroll checks in second nationally behind Texas, and the crew runs the whole top ten guessing game live. Eddie Royal's ACC Network sitdown with Mario Cristobal gets broken down for what the Greentree practice intensity actually says about this roster. And when Jake's asked what could derail a team this loaded, there's really only one honest answer.
Also in this one: Jake makes his case for LSU having the best uniforms in college football (sorry, Miami fans), Michael Irvin buys Mark Fletcher's mom an RV, the kicking battle nobody's been paying attention to, and a look at what the schedule looks like once Student of the Game, live streams, and recap shows are all back in rotation for the regular season.

As the season approaches... We are officially on the countdown to the end of Benched for this offseason, and with it the end of Five Questions... so as we wind it down this week, we'll get into aloof outfielders, live TV blunders and naked dining in South Florida... Welcome to OBB Benched!
Things get off to a rough start when a national anthem cover sends the guys down a Clarabelle the Cow rabbit hole they never fully recover from. From there it's live TV blunders (a baseball player who ran a full home run trot before finding out he got robbed, and a minor-league pitcher one strikeout dance away from a hamstring injury), a QVC wig segment with an unfortunate choice of words, and a deep dive into Hollywood, Florida's monthly nude steakhouse dinner — yes, it's a real place, and yes, Local 10 sent a camera crew.
Then it's Five Questions: the highest-divorce-rate job or hobby, the scariest two animals you could fuse together, the harshest thing a parent ever said, the go-to excuse for getting off the phone, and the funniest comedy movie ever made — which somehow turns into a full breakdown of the Spider-Man movie universe and Tom Holland's Odyssey.
Two Bencheds left after this one. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Mario Cristobal just got paid — a deal that pushes him past $10 million a year — and the first thing he did was hand money back to the school. Congress finally did something about the chaos in college sports, clearing the Protect College Sports Act of 2026 through a major hurdle, and Darian Mensah needed exactly one practice at Green Tree to figure out what he signed up for.
Ro, Jenners, Scoop and Toast are watching the Hall of Fame Game live as they break down the extension and why nobody in South Florida is bothered by the math (the market went up, and he still isn't a top-10 paid coach). They get into why this Miami staff runs more like family than a corporate front office, sort through the preseason poll snub (Miami at #7, zero first-place votes, and yes, they have thoughts about Dan Lanning), and check in on a recruiting class that's now sitting at an 81% blue chip ratio.
There's also a Leagues Cup road trip that goes sideways over stadium parking, roster updates on Aidan Lowe and Luka Gilbert, a full walkthrough of what the new transfer portal legislation actually changes, and a very confused reaction to Purdue's new AD going viral for the wrong reasons.

Instead of top-rated quarterbacks, training camp or GM sagas... we're talking about influencer degrees, terrible grading scales, getting sucked out of airplanes and Spaceballs! Welcome to OBB Benched!
Ro's still out, so Jenners, Scoop, and Toast keep the bench warm one more time before Miami's 2026 fall camp opens tomorrow. This week's five questions cover Arizona State's new bachelor's degree in becoming an influencer (yes, that's real), a screenshot of a grading scale out of California that nobody can quite believe, and the return of Rick Moranis for Spaceballs 2 after 30 years away from the business.
Along the way: Scoop's Panda Express standoff over two pennies, a Ryanair passenger who nearly went out the window at 20,000 feet, a sequel debate nobody wins (Phantom Menace still haunts one of these guys), and the athletes whose careers injuries cut short before we ever got to see how good they could've been.
Also: Miami lands the No. 1 spot in the ACC's preseason media poll, and Tua's already banged up at Falcons camp before a single practice.

Ro's off in the Keys chasing lobster, so it's Jenners, Scoop, and Toast holding down the show three days before Miami's 2026 fall camp officially opens. The guys get into whether last year's back-half surge was a real foundational shift for this program or just a hot streak that happened to end at the right time — breaking down the offensive line, a running back room that's the same faces with a different mentality, and a wide receiver group they think is one of the deepest in the country.
From there it's a full defensive line check-in (Lightfoot, Damon Wilson, Blount, Hayden Lowe) before the crew gets into Todd McShay's praise for five-star quarterback commit Darian Mensah and what a locked-in QB1 means for how Miami spends money everywhere else on the roster. They also run through PFF's early returning ACC quarterback rankings and argue about who's missing from the list.
Outside of Coral Gables, the guys break down North Carolina showing GM Michael Lombardi the door before Labor Day, then play a game guessing how long Bill Belichick survives the season given his record without Tom Brady. FSU fans get a bonus storyline too — Tom Herman reportedly signed on as an hourly staffer making $25 an hour while still owed millions from his LSU buyout.
Camp opens next Tuesday, so consider this the last quiet week before things get real. Go Canes.
