Clark Lea on Vanderbilt's Rise + Urban Meyer's Top 10 College Football Programs

Clark Lea, Urban Meyer, and college football's Top 10 programs — it's all on The Triple Option.    Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea sits down with Urban Meyer and Mark Ingram II to break down how the Commodores became a legitimate SEC contender, what it takes to replace Diego Pavia, and whether championship culture can still beat the highest bidder in the NIL era.    Plus: Urban Meyer drops his controversial Top 10 college football programs — Ohio State at #1, Alabama at #2, Michigan at #7, and USC hanging on at #10. Not everyone will agree. 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.   Chapters 00:00 Show Open 01:40 Team's Preseason Prep 04:29 Best College Football Games of 2026 15:14 Clark Lea, Vanderbilt Head Coach 31:41 College Football's Top Ten Programs   New episodes of The Triple Option drop every Wednesday.
