The Solid Verbal America's College Football Podcast since 2008 The Solid Verbal is a twice-weekly college football podcast with Ty Hildenbrandt and Dan Rubenstein.

Ty lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania; Dan lives in New York City. The show was conceived while the hosts were doing work for SI.com — Ty was writing a weekly “Quick Slants” college sports column; Dan was shooting his popular “SI Tour Guy” video series. The thinking was that creating a fan-centric college football podcast would fill a giant niche. The Solid Verbal was born in August of 2008. As of t

he 2009 season, The Solid Verbal was both the highest rated and most popular, independently-run college football podcast on the web. Featured by iTunes on several occasions, the show has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times and boasts thousands of listeners (or “Verballers”) in every corner of the globe. Guests have ranged in name from prominent bloggers to popular reporters to well-known current-and-former head coaches. In September 2011, The Solid Verbal joined forces with Grantland.com, providing the Grantland Network Podcast with a weekly college football recap show. As of the 2012 season, The Solid Verbal teamed up with SBNation Studios to create a weekly simulcast that Verballers can watch live. The Solid Verbal continues through the regular season, post-season, and off-season, because people don’t just love college football, they live it.

Welcome to Week 6, the start of... Cocktober! We dive into a slate that's loaded with opportunities for offenses to establish themselves (or for underdogs to sneak in and steal one). We circle back and discuss the two biggest games of the weekend: Vandy traveling to Alabama and Miami making their first road trip to face Florida State in Tallahassee. Both have baggage, both feature ranked teams, and both could shake up the playoff picture.

From there, we explore the sneaky-important matchups that nobody's talking about enough: Iowa State's trip to Cincinnati, Kansas State trying to bounce back at Baylor, and Texas facing a desperate Florida team in The Swamp. We also hit on Notre Dame's chance to make a statement against Boise State, the letdown potential for Illinois, and why we're believers in some serious home dog action this week (looking at you, Cal and Virginia).

Plus, we've got our weekly Pat League lookahead, a breakdown of the optimal quad setup for Saturday, and a look at the Taylor Swift curse, bear coat turnover props, and more.

🏈 Firings, Conference Power Rankings & That INSANE Penn State Whiteout 🏈

Just got back from State College and WOW... we've got thoughts that'll get the blood pumping. In this episode:

🔥 Sam Pittman OUT at Arkansas - who's next?
📊 We rank ALL 4 major conferences team-by-team
🎯 Week 6 picks: Vandy at Bama & Miami at FSU
⚡ The Penn State Whiteout experience was UNREAL - we break down everything

Fair warning: Our conference rankings will spark debates. Our ACC takes beyond Miami might confuse you. And our Big 12 analysis... well, does anyone really know who's good in that conference? 🤷

Plus: Ohio State's defense is scary good, Ole Miss is legit, and Mississippi State deserves way more respect.
