    Oct 13 2026
    Week 6 delivered one of the wildest Saturdays of the college football season, and Cam and Carlos are breaking it all down on 54 Yards.
    We start where we always do — Texas and Oklahoma. Cam gets to celebrate an Oklahoma Red River win while Carlos has to answer for Texas after the Longhorns fell 27–24 in Dallas. What went wrong for Texas? Did Oklahoma save its season? And what does the result mean for Steve Sarkisian, Brent Venables, Arch Manning and John Mateer moving forward?
    Then we go national. Georgia takes down Alabama, UCLA shocks Oregon in Eugene, Missouri makes another statement against Texas A&M, Indiana survives Nebraska, USC adds to Penn State’s nightmare season, and Florida continues to slide.
    We also dive into the increasingly crowded Big 12 race with Texas Tech, Utah, BYU, Houston and Oklahoma State, react to the latest national-title picture, and discuss which teams we actually trust after six weeks.
    On this episode: Oklahoma–Texas fallout, Georgia–Alabama, UCLA–Oregon, Missouri–Texas A&M, Indiana–Nebraska, USC–Penn State, Florida–South Carolina, the Big 12 race, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Week 6 surprises and our updated national championship contenders.

    Is Alabama The Best Team In The Country? | The Morning After S5 E14
    Oct 6 2026
    Week 5 gave us chaos, statement wins, major questions, and a clearer picture of who we actually trust in college football.
    On this episode of 54 Yards, Cam and Carlos break down the biggest results from the weekend and debate which teams are real contenders — and which ones might be living off reputation.
    We get into Miami’s 41–13 win over Clemson and whether the Hurricanes are now the clear team to beat in the ACC, Missouri dominating Florida 45–17, Alabama looking like one of the best teams in the country, and Jeremiah Smith continuing to put up ridiculous numbers for Ohio State.
    Then we head into the Big 12 to talk Texas Tech, Colorado, Houston, BYU, Baylor and the conference race before discussing Notre Dame, USC, Penn State’s shocking loss to Northwestern, Michigan’s continued offensive struggles, and several other Week 5 storylines.
    To close the show, we turn our attention toward Red River. Oklahoma’s offense has plenty of questions entering the matchup, Texas has championship expectations, and Cam and Carlos discuss why records, rankings and statistics can all go out the window when Texas and Oklahoma meet in Dallas.
    We also give the four teams we currently trust the most to win the National Championship.

    • Miami vs. Clemson
    • Missouri vs. Florida
