You knew it was coming. Part deux of the CSN CFP preview features Michael Felder & Wayne Cook along with Hartzell and the Doc to run through the first-round games that start with Friday night lights in South Bend. The guys run through all four games this weekend and break down the matchups; Who would you rather have, Klubnik or Ewers? Which head coach not named Ryan Day has the most pressure on them to win? Do we trust Penn State to do the thing? You'll be surprised to know who the consensus upset pick was, but stick around for picks at the end of the show PLUS a mental health check on the whole gang since we're **checks notes** five days out from Christmas. Land the plane, boys. Land the plane.

The final Gauer Hour of 2024 and we have a loaded show. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap the fairly quiet week around the country - nice wins for Oklahoma, Michigan State, Georgia Tech & UConn. Plus Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports jumps on to talk about her thoughts on the first six weeks of the season. Then we preview a fun Friday night with MTEs in Ft. Lauderdale and San Francisco, of course UConn-USC on Saturday in Hartford. And we sprinkle in some Christmas fun throughout.

You knew it was coming. Playoff starts on Friday night so let's break down these games, kids. Loaded show to start the week off, featuring Roddy Jones & Mike Golic Jr joining Hartzell and the Doc to run through the weekend slate. This includes deep dives on Indiana at Notre Dame and Penn State hosting SMU. Roddy and GoJo will both be in Happy Valley this weekend, so there's plenty of discussion on the game (and the ice cream scene) up in State College. Who do the guys think has the best chance of getting a road win in the opening round? Does Rodstra really want to go head-to-head with the Lock Doc on the Gasparilla Bowl?! You don't just stroll into Tampa and cover a two touchdown spread!

Felder Friday is here and we have a loaded show to get you set for the weekend. Our guy, @InTheBleachers along with special guest @lebrownlow give thoughts on UNC's new coaching hire. We also get into the latest from the Transfer Portal and the effect it will have on bowl matchups. Heisman talk, playoff predictions and much more also included at no extra cost.

For the second Thursday in a row Notre Dame notched a top-10 win at home, this time over UConn, and Rob is worried about the Huskies. Plus, South Carolina continues to steamroll opponents since its loss last month. And some surprise unbeatens face ranked tests this weekend in Georgia Tech and Michigan State. All that and more on the latest Gauer Hour with Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce.

Truly an historic day on CSN - as longtime listeners can attest to - because Wayne Cook has been pleading with the powers that be to expand the playoff for, well, forever. Today is finally his day. The field is set, we've got dozen teams with a shot at the national championship, and life is good, right? Wayne gets to tell us all how he feels about the CFP and whether the Committee did the right thing or not. Special guest Michael Surber stops by at the half-hour mark to talk about Clemson and the roller coaster ride that was Saturday night's ACC Championship. How does Surber feel about the Tigers' chances in Austin in the first round? We discuss that and much more with one of our longtime friends of the program.

Don't be afraid to wear out that office toner cartridge, we got football brackets for the first time ever, it's a celebration. Roddy Jones joins Hartzell and the Doc to the run through the 12-team field. Thoughts and reactions to what we saw over Championship Weekend with some highly entertaining games in the ACC and B1G (plus whatever that thing was in the SEC). The fellas disagree on the future on conference championship games, but we embrace the debate here on CSN. Who has the best path to the natty? Who has the most question marks? Where do the guys think the most lopsided game of the first round is going to be? Lots to cover for a CFP reaction show the likes of which we've never done (because there's never been 12 teams), so turn us up and let's talk ball!

A loaded Thursday slate in the SEC/ACC Challenge featured two overtime games (Notre Dame had quite the up-and-down week) and South Carolina doing South Carolina things to a top-10 team. Plus, the release of the NET rankings gives hope to some sneaky power schools and mid-majors alike (bad week for the #3BidA10 movement though). And we have more top-10 showdowns in TCU-South Carolina and Notre Dame-UConn. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce break it all down on the latest Gauer Hour!

That's right kids, regular season is over and that means there's only 9 FBS games on deck this weekend. Who better to break them down than Felder, who comes correct with his weekly dose of Felder Five and some National Signing Day sprinkled in as well. Shehan Jeyarajah from CBS Sports enters the chat to talk Big 12 Championship and CFP at large with the fellas. Shehan thinks SMU is in even with a loss against Clemson, which sounds risky, but who knows that this Committee is going to do come Sunday at high noon when the bracket gets filled out. And oh hey, look who joins the show over an our late to give lukewarm takes? Somebody call a Doctor?

It's hard enough doing a show with Wayne Cook and keeping our boy focused. It's even harder when you're taping as the CFP rankings are literally coming down the line, but nonetheless, we press on. Immediate reaction to the rankings and who stands to benefit the most from the upcoming Championship Weekend slate of games Friday and Saturday. Lots of Hartzell and Wayno disagreements in the first half hour of the show before Phil Steele joins the party to run through his picks for all 9 FBS games this weekend. Then Phil signs off and the fellas get back to arguing. The last 10 minutes of the show Wayne schools Hartzell on the art of sideline reporting, since he'll be at the SEC Championship while Wayne watches on TV and tries to figure out what pants Hartzell's wearing. No, really.
