Clark Lea, Urban Meyer, and college football's Top 10 programs — it's all on The Triple Option.

And to kick things off, Urban and Rob Stone count down the Top 5 must-watch games of the 2026 college football season — including a potential #1 vs. #2 showdown between Ohio State and Texas, Lane Kiffin's return to Ole Miss, and Miami vs. Notre Dame in November.
