    “Fixing College Football: Bowls, Rankings, and Respect for the Game”

    College football is broken — and it's not just about NIL or the transfer portal. It's the timing, the structure, and the lack of respect for the season itself. In this episode, I lay out a full blueprint to fix college football from top to bottom: moving bowl games to create a real evaluation period, delaying rankings until they actually mean something, restructuring Rivalry Week and conference championships, and putting the national title back on New Year's Day where it belongs. I also tackle the chaos of the transfer portal and coaching carousel — and why both should stay closed until the season is officially over. This isn't just a rant. It's a plan.And it fixes a lot of what's dragging the sport down. Tune in and decide for yourself — is this the reset college football needs?
