Is Notre Dame overrated? Can Indiana knock off Ohio State? And is anybody buying Texas as a top-10 team?

It's a PYA (Plant Yo' A**) Saturday on The Preferred Walk-On Show, and Seth and James are breaking down one of the most loaded college football slates of the season.

The fellas are making picks for Ohio State–Indiana, Notre Dame–BYU, Alabama–Tennessee, Georgia–Auburn, Florida–Texas, Missouri–Ole Miss, Wisconsin–UCLA, Oklahoma State–Houston and Mississippi State–LSU.

Plus, Indiana's undefeated run, Bob Chesney's turnaround at UCLA, JMU's move to the American, and three fantastic FCS matchups featuring South Dakota State-North Dakota, Idaho State-Weber State in the battle for the Train Bell Trophy, and Idaho and Montana for the Little Brown Stein.

And yes, we've got a best bet of the week. Seth has some strong feelings about Notre Dame laying 10.5 points in Provo.

Saturday gave us another reminder that nothing in college football stays settled for long.

George Somerville of The College Chaps joins Seth for the first Sunday Walk-Through to unpack a weekend that reshaped the conversation around several teams.

Alabama walked into Starkville and overwhelmed one of the hottest stories in the sport, with Keelon Russell making his own case for the spotlight. Missouri brought Florida crashing back to earth with a dominant performance in Columbia. Kentucky erased a 17-point deficit at South Carolina before Will Stein put the game - and maybe Shane Beamer's time in Columbia — on ice with a two-point conversion in overtime.

The guys discuss whether Alabama should now be viewed as one of the very best teams in America, what Florida’s loss means for Jon Sumrall, why Missouri continues to be overlooked, and whether Shane Beamer is running out of runway at South Carolina.

Then it’s on to Minnesota, where P.J. Fleck and Minnesota reclaimed the Little Brown Jug for the first time since 2014, before closing with an early look at next weekend’s heavyweight showdown between Georgia and Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Plus: the changing Big Ten picture, UCLA’s resurgence, Gunner Stockton’s next test and the problems Keelon Russell presents for Kirby Smart’s defense.

The Sunday Walk-Through: coffee on one side of the Atlantic, afternoon tea on the other, and college football everywhere in between.

Is a 24-team College Football Playoff inevitable? And if expansion is coming, does anyone actually have a plan for what college football should look like when it gets here?

Seth and James dive into the latest CFP expansion conversation, including automatic bids, the future of conference championship games, the G6, an FCS-style postseason model and the larger problem facing the sport: college football keeps changing, but its structure hasn’t caught up.

Then the boys turn to the field after another wild weekend. Dylan Raiola delivers a breakout performance for Oregon, Kamario Taylor and Mississippi State continue their remarkable start, Florida suddenly looks dangerous, and Oklahoma State refuses to stay buried.

From there, it’s time for the Week 5 board:

🏈 Pitt at Virginia Tech
🏈 Penn State at Northwestern
🏈 Alabama at Mississippi State
🏈 Ohio State at Iowa
🏈 Florida at Missouri
🏈 North Dakota State at Wyoming
🏈 Oregon State at Colorado State
🏈 Miami at Clemson

PLUS, The People’s Division:

🏈 South Dakota State at Illinois State
🏈 Northern Arizona at Idaho State
🏈 Youngstown State at Southern Illinois

Also discussed:

• Is a 24-team CFP actually good for college football?
• Why guaranteed conference bids could create even more problems
• Dylan Raiola’s breakout moment at Oregon
• Kamario Taylor, Keelon Russell and a huge SEC quarterback matchup
• Is Florida for real under Jon Sumrall?
• Ohio State’s matchup advantage against Iowa
• North Dakota State’s path to the College Football Playoff
• Can the Pac-12 reclaim “power conference” status?
• Jesse LeGree and Braden Atkinson powering Oregon State
• The Battle of the Basins trophy
• Why the Missouri Valley is the SEC of the FCS
