    Bowl Chaos, Playoff Politics & A Wild Weekend of College Football

    This week’s episode is loaded with drama, debates, and deep-dive reactions from a massive weekend across college football. We start with rapid-fire recaps from around the country — including Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas Tech vs. BYU, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana — plus Nick breaks out his three favorite OSU FG's of all time. Then we turn to the College Football Playoff rankings and the controversies they created. Did Notre Dame deserve a spot? Should Alabama have snuck in? And with two Group of 5 teams making the field, is this the new normal or a one-year fluke? We also react to the chaos in South Bend after the Notre Dame athletic director blasted the ACC and the Irish announced they’re skipping their bowl game. Smart move or a terrible message? Next, we go bowl shopping. Outside the CFP, there are some legitimately great matchups on the slate — including Michigan vs. Texas in the Citrus Bowl, Iowa vs. Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Boise State vs. Washington in the LA Bowl, Penn State vs. Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl, Georgia Tech vs. BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and a sneaky-good Arizona vs. SMU showdown in the Holiday Bowl. Finally, we close with Rick Neuheisel’s bold prediction that bowl games will eventually become the first games of the season. Is he out of his mind… or ahead of the curve? It’s playoff takes, bowl mania, and wall-to-wall college football — let’s go.

    Championship Weekend and CFP Predictions

    This week’s episode dives headfirst into one of the wildest turns of the college football season — and we’re hitting every curveball the sport just threw at us. We open with the stunning recruiting bombshell: five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, ESPN’s No. 1 pocket passer, flips from Georgia to Vanderbilt in one of the biggest shockers of the cycle. Then we shift to coaching news, including Pat Fitzgerald speaking with eight programs before ultimately choosing to reboot his career at Michigan State. Plus, Alex Golesh gets asked about golf… and gives an answer that makes us wonder: Has golf become college coaching’s new enemy? The coaching carousel spins again as Brian Hartline heads to South Florida, and we react to the latest College Football Playoff Rankings, including: Why Vanderbilt actually dropped after blowing out a ranked Tennessee team Why Alabama mysteriously jumped to No. 9 Whether Ohio State and Indiana are basically guaranteed byes And the big question: Is Alabama in no matter what? We also debate the best championship game of the weekend, predict what Florida fans will feel in five years about not hiring Lane Kiffin, unpack Penn State sitting at 150 while VT sits top 25, and close out with full Top 12 playoff bracket predictions before Selection Sunday. Finally, we preview every matchup on deck for Championship Weekend, including: • North Texas vs. Tulane • BYU vs. Texas Tech • Georgia vs. Alabama • Indiana vs. Ohio State • Duke vs. Virginia It’s chaos. It’s controversy. It’s championship week. Let’s get into it.

    Rivalry Week + Lane Kiffin Decision

    This week’s episode dives headfirst into the madness of Rivalry Week and the fallout from the latest College Football Playoff rankings. We break down what stood out from the CFP committee’s decisions and what it means heading into a massive weekend. Is Mike Norvell truly safe at Florida State — and was keeping him the right call? We explore why FSU made the move and whether it stabilizes the program moving forward. Then it’s prediction time: What really happens with Lane Kiffin on Saturday? We give our final read on the rumors, the pressure, and the possible outcomes. Plus, Joel Klatt sparked debate by claiming Alabama–Auburn isn’t even in the same hemisphere as Michigan–Ohio State. Is he right? We weigh the history, the stakes, and the truth behind the rivalry tiers. We also break down whether Michigan can win five straight against Ohio State, what it would take, and how nuclear the reaction would be if Ryan Day loses again. And if Michigan wins… are they in the CFP no matter what? We explain how a Wolverine win could completely blow up the bracket. Texas fans — do the Longhorns deserve a CFP spot if they beat Texas A&M? We make the case for and against. Finally, we rank the top rivalry games in college football and debate the order: Michigan vs Ohio State Alabama vs Auburn Florida vs Florida State Clemson vs South Carolina USC vs UCLA And we preview a rivalry that’s about to skyrocket back into the Top 5 soon: Texas vs Texas A&M — and why its return is massive for the sport. It’s rivalry, chaos, stakes, and storylines — everything college football is supposed to be. Buckle up.
