What You Missed Last Week: 

The Georgia Bulldogs repeat for their 2nd National Championship win in 2 years. We discuss Stetson Bennett's crazy story, and his potential as an NFL QB.  We talk about the 12 team college football playoff expansion, and if it is going to be a positive for bowl season or a negative. 

Purdue University Quarterback Brady Allen is returning to the Boilermaker football program after testing the waters in the transfer portal.  What does that mean? Was it a great job done by new head coach Ryan Walter's, or just not as much interest as expected in the portal?

Jim Harbaugh is returning to coach at the University of Michigan. Our question is, why? College football recruiting has become the wild west, and we're surprised that Harbaugh wants to return and navigate those waters. 

The NFL Playoffs got under way this past weekend and the games did not disappoint. Our New York Football Giants really did us proud, and we couldn't help but to fan out.
