The biggest college football weekend of 2026 was supposed to deliver one of the greatest Saturdays in recent memory. Instead, only two of the seven ranked matchups finished within one score. But while the games themselves might have been a little disappointing, the fallout was anything but. Seth Dowdle is back with another episode of After Saturday, breaking down the biggest results, playoff implications, coaching controversies and downright bizarre moments from College Football Week 10.
No. 1 Miami’s undefeated season comes crashing down in South Bend as Notre Dame survives a furious comeback to win 31-24. Seth examines the Hurricanes’ recent struggles, the impact of Malachi Toney’s absence and why the Fighting Irish might have secured their College Football Playoff spot. Meanwhile, Utah wins a wild Holy War against BYU to remain undefeated, overcoming four Bear Bachmeier interceptions and taking control of the Big 12 championship race.
Elsewhere, Alabama delivers a statement victory over Lane Kiffin’s LSU Tigers, winning 31-13 despite being outgained by 172 yards. Keelon Russell strengthens Alabama’s championship credentials, while Kiffin’s struggles in big games continue. Oregon storms into Columbus and dismantles Ohio State 41-28, raising serious questions about Ryan Day, the Buckeyes’ quarterback situation and whether their playoff hopes are officially finished.
The SEC produces two more beatdowns as Georgia demolishes Ole Miss 42-7 and Tennessee embarrasses previously unbeaten Kentucky 34-6. Seth declares Georgia the best team in the country, issues a formal apology to Tennessee fans for picking the Wildcats and examines how the Volunteers have emerged as legitimate championship contenders. Plus, Arch Manning delivers another encouraging performance as Texas takes down Missouri and strengthens its playoff résumé.
Then it’s time for a conference-by-conference trip through the rest of the country. Texas Tech survives an absolutely ridiculous 53-48 shootout against West Virginia, TCU finds an almost impossible way to lose to Arizona, and Michigan State hands Kyle Whittingham another embarrassing defeat. UCLA remains undefeated, Nebraska continues its miserable slide, and Texas A&M makes history for all the wrong reasons against South Carolina. Plus, Oklahoma State scores 66 points, Wake Forest hangs 77 on Merrimack, Florida Atlantic destroys UTSA, and James Madison’s strange season takes another turn.
