    TNR 11/9/26 - Hours 3 & 4 | Alabama CRUSHES LSU! How High Can the Tide Climb? Auburn Survives

    🏈 ALABAMA DOMINATES LSU! AUBURN SURVIVES ARKANSAS! COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF CHAOS! Welcome to The Next Round LIVE! We're breaking down a wild weekend of college football featuring Alabama's convincing victory over LSU in Death Valley, Auburn's dramatic comeback against Arkansas, and massive results that could shake up the College Football Playoff rankings! 🔴 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE: ANOTHER WIN IN DEATH VALLEY! Kalen DeBoer's Alabama Crimson Tide rolled past Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers, 31-13, extending one of college football's most remarkable road records. Alabama has now won an incredible 31 games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge! Keelon Russell threw three touchdown passes, and Alabama's defense delivered when it mattered most, despite LSU outgaining the Tide 457-285. 🔥 The biggest Alabama questions: How high can Alabama climb in the next College Football Playoff rankings after improving to 7-2? Could Alabama realistically move into the CFP's top four? Would Crimson Tide fans actually prefer to MISS the SEC Championship Game because of the tiebreaker and avoid risking an additional loss? How damaging is the reported season-ending knee injury to tight end Josh Ford? Who replaces his production and blocking ability? 🟠 AUBURN TIGERS: IS ALEX GOLESH TURNING THE CORNER? Auburn escaped with a thrilling 26-23 victory over Arkansas after Alex McPherson drilled a game-winning 43-yard field goal with just 33 seconds remaining! The Tigers improve to 5-4 in Alex Golesh's first season, putting a potential 7-5 finish within reach. Would that represent meaningful progress for the Auburn football program? But questions remain about Auburn's offensive identity. Running backs Jeremiah Cobb and Omar Mabson II combined for just 15 carries, while quarterback Byrum Brown rushed 23 times for 122 yards. Is this quarterback-driven rushing attack simply what Auburn football has become under Golesh? 🏆 COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND RECAP: UPSETS, STATEMENTS & CFP SHAKEUPS! ☘️ Notre Dame 31, Miami 24: The Fighting Irish take down previously unbeaten No. 1 Miami! What does this mean for both teams' playoff hopes? 🐶 Georgia 42, Ole Miss 7: Kirby Smart's Bulldogs demolish Ole Miss! Is Georgia unquestionably the SEC's best team and the national championship favorite? 🏔️ Utah 28, BYU 20: The Utes win the Holy War! How much does this hurt BYU's Big 12 Championship and playoff chances? 🍊 Tennessee 34, Kentucky 6: The Volunteers dominate a top-10 Kentucky team! Is Tennessee ready to make a serious playoff push? 🤘 Texas 34, Missouri 20: Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns secure another important SEC victory!

    The Connor O'Gara Show #15 | Which 4 SEC Teams Make the CFP? Jimbo Fisher BACK to FSU?!

    Which FOUR SEC teams are headed to the College Football Playoff? Could Jimbo Fisher actually return to Florida State? Sports Illustrated college football writer Connor O'Gara is joined by Jim Dunaway of The Next Round for a wide-ranging episode of The Connor O'Gara Show, featuring bold 2026 CFP predictions, SEC football debates, the Florida State coaching search and unforgettable stories from Ireland. The first College Football Playoff rankings have arrived, and the SEC race is anything but settled. Connor and Jim debate how many bids the SEC and Big Ten will earn, whether a three-loss team can reach the 12-team playoff, and which contenders are positioned to survive a brutal November schedule. 🏈 SEC PLAYOFF CONTENDERS: Is Alabama's margin for error gone heading into its trip to LSU? Can LSU overcome its road-game concerns? Is Missouri a real threat if it beats Texas? Can Kentucky handle Tennessee, Missouri and Louisville? And what happens when Georgia visits Ole Miss? They also examine the postseason paths for Texas, South Carolina and Florida. 🔥 FOUR SEC TEAMS IN THE CFP? Connor projects Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss. Jim goes with Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss and Missouri, while leaving the door open for Alabama with a win over LSU. Their biggest disagreements could reshape the entire playoff picture. 🎯 FLORIDA STATE COACHING SEARCH: After FSU's decision to move on from Mike Norvell, Jim floats a surprise possibility: a Jimbo Fisher reunion at a reduced price. They also discuss why hiring the right athletic director matters, with Jim advocating for former Arkansas State AD and Alabama administrator Jeff Purinton. Connor explores other names in the conversation, including Manny Diaz, Glenn Schumann, Corey Hetherman, Charlie Weis Jr. and New Mexico coach Jason Eck. These are discussion candidates, not confirmed finalists. 🇮🇪 JIM'S IRELAND ADVENTURE: Before the football arguments, Jim shares his travels through Dublin, Belfast, Galway, Cork and Killarney, from Irish pubs and the Guinness Storehouse to the Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle. Plus, why he isn't convinced Ireland is the ideal place for every neutral-site college football game. The episode wraps with game-day food talk, chili dogs, Nebraska's chili-and-cinnamon-roll tradition, and more Week 10 college football conversation.
