Always College Football with Greg McElroy

As a fan of a Non-Big 10/SEC school I keep rolling my eyes when I hear more power and advantage given to these two conferences if the format gets tweaked. Does it need tinkering? Yes. What I’m afraid of is if Clemson or West Virginia are undefeated and are consistently ranked in the top 2 they may fall back to the bottom half of the committee’s ranking and get a bad draw if Greg’s format comes to fruition. That’s why a fan symposium needs to be conducted. Other than that great podcast Greg. Keep up the good work. Stay warm brother.

Could be a sign of the changing times, but I moved away from other podcasters that were clearly SEC shills. Greg provides insights into college football grounded in reality. Appreciated by fans of the sport.

I don’t want to rip host Greg McElroy, he’s very enthusiastic and knows a lot about football. But he is not great with words. Listen to the College Football Gameday podcast, with Rece Davis, Pete Thamel and Ryan McGee. They are writers, wordsmiths. Their descriptions and observations are much better crafted than Greg’s. He sounds very much like a football player. In his game previews, he does a good job of asking the questions that will help determine who will win. His football knowledge pays off. But in the episodes looking back at a game, he doesn’t offer much more than recapping what happened. We all watched the game and know what happened. Those episodes can be pretty worthless. He should invite guests in, as he has on certain episodes. Those can be much better than the usual, which is Greg all alone.

Greg is really good at identifying what will end up deciding games.
