The Far End of the Bench with Jimmy Pallotto and Niko Bryant is your weekly home for all things sports—uncut, unfiltered, and unapologetically from the fan’s perspective. We’re two Colorado guys who grew up around the game and bring that same passion to every episode. Whether it’s breaking down the biggest plays, calling out the hottest takes, or giving props to the underdogs, we’ve got it covered. From the NFL and NBA to college sports, combat sports, and everything in between, we’re not afraid to go deep into the action… even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Tune in every week, pull up a seat, and join the conversation from The Far End of the Bench.

THE MORNING AFTER — WEEK 5: Gator Reality Check, Bama Rolls & Penn State Panic
September gave us the hype. October is giving us the truth.
Week 5 delivered reality checks all over college football. #8 Florida gets exposed in a 45-17 loss to Missouri, #7 Alabama rolls past undefeated Mississippi State 56-23, and Penn State hits panic mode after Northwestern runs for 413 yards in a 34-13 beatdown. Meanwhile, #4 Miami makes one of the biggest statements of the weekend by walking into Clemson and dominating 41-13.
Plus, the 2-Minute Drill: Jeremiah Smith goes off for 206 yards as Ohio State handles Iowa, and Michigan falls to 0-2 in Big Ten play after losing the Little Brown Jug to Minnesota.
Who’s actually real after Week 5?
