This week on Between Two Grills, Matt is joined by Paul Nelson to fire up some preseason takes on the ever-changing world of college football. From the chaos of the transfer portal to the expansion of the playoff field, nothing feels certain heading into 2025—except that the sport looks nothing like it did even a few years ago.

Matt and Paul dig into whether the 12-team playoff really makes the regular season less meaningful, how NIL has turned roster building into the Wild West, and why we may never see another “super team” like Joe Burrow’s LSU or Georgia’s loaded defenses. They share examples of programs like Missouri and UNC using the portal to close the gap, debate whether Dabo can keep Clemson elite without fully embracing transfers, and look at how fan investment is shifting in this new era.

The guys also talk about what Bill Belichick’s arrival at North Carolina could mean for the Tar Heels, how conference bias might still haunt the playoff committee, and which programs outside the usual suspects could be the ones to watch this fall.

Grab your favorite game-day plate, pull up a chair by the grill, and join Matt and Paul as they try to answer the only question that matters: in college football 2025, what do we actually know?

Susan joins Matt to review a few of his game day appetizers and how she came to know "Two Friends"

Susan shares how this group has been a great way to spend time with her daughters and defends her position of not allowing her husband Matt to host a Super bowl Party.

Steve Young joins Matt to discuss tailgating tips to make the college football season the best experience possible.  Steve is part of group that won the David Glenn Show Tailgate Tour Award for the best tailgate in North Carolina.  Unlike some fast food places, Steve and the crew have soft serve ice readily available at their NC State tailgates.

In the podcast Matt mentions some recipes he shared with Steve.  You can find those recipes at the Between Two Grills YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcXDHHB2scyzBnnGMgwNCw
