    The SGP (CFP) Playoffs Are Here!

    The moment that we foretold 3 years ago on this show has finally arrived, and the Round 1 matchups are set to already be some of the best matchups of the Playoff Era. We breakdown the Heisman Award and the 'snubbing' of Ashton Jeanty as well as where he ranks all-time in the snub department. Does Dabo silence the country and take down Texas? Does Small Game James drop a s*****r against SMU? Does Ryan Day fail to get it done again? Can the Irish win the National Championship? All that and more on our Playoff Preview.

    The CFP is Here - And so is the Controversy

    We are 3 days away from Selection Sunday, and the penultimate rankings from Tuesday have fanbases across the country staking their claim (and disavowing others) for a ticket to the dance. 3-loss SEC teams, and 2-loss everyone else will see once and for all just how biased the committee is this weekend, and we have a few thoughts on the matter... Joe Tessatore letting it slip during rivalry week, down-the-board rankings being manipulated for ranked wins, SEC 'supremacy' and more on this week's episode.

    Week 2 CFP Rankings: B10 Stronghold + SEC Direction

    The 2nd Playoff Rankings are here and the B10 holds 4/5 top spots, with the SEC hanging at the back of the line. Can the G5 Champ go into the Playoff ranked higher than the B12 Champ? Can the SEC thin their own herd or will a slew of 2/3-loss teams find themselves playing in? We run through the top 13 teams in the ranking and the direction of each contender over the last month of the season.

    Battle of the (SEC) Bastards: Playoff Spots Up For Grabs After a Wild Week 6

    Bedlam in CFB Week 6 and Goalposts in the Cumberland: Saturday we saw 5/10 AP Top Ranked Teams go down, with Miami escaping late to keep it from being 6 of the top 11. The SEC has been upended by the emergence of TAMU, Vandy, and Arkansas, opening the door for a few 3-loss bids for this December's CFP. Also, where do the Irish need to be at come week 12 for a shot into this open playoff field?

    CFB Week 5 - The Power 2 and an Instant Classic in Tuscaloosa

    After Week 5 of the CFB season the B10 and SEC have come out to dominate the national scene and assert the 'Power 2' narrative early on in 2024. The bottom half of the SEC is slowly gaining traction in the conference and is making for some very interesting matchups that may have been overlooked on the schedule. Also, Ashton Jeanty is putting together what could be one of the greatest rushing seasons in the history of the sport.

    CFB Week 3 - The Resurgence of the Freshman QB + The Plight of the Rookie QB Feat. Joey Ellis

    The resurgence of the 'boy-wonder' Freshman QB is setting the stage for a very unique College Football Playoff in 2024. The Bulldogs reel in Lexington while the rest of the SEC was out for blood this past weekend. Who is on the shortlist of teams that can compete against the class of the SEC this year? All that and the face of Charlotte Sports, Joey Ellis, might be on 0-17 watch here in his first season covering the Panthers.

    Week 1 Recap: The Dogs Flex Their Physicality

    What a Week 1 we witnessed this past LDW. The dogs around the country impressed with their physicality and ability to bang with the bigger squads. USC, ND, Miami, and BC all flexed their muscle in the trenches this weekend, and it is certainly a trend we can get behind. Also, will Deion entertain jobs like FSU following the departure of his son? And how the Gators were sent to an early grave.
