There's a lot of these floating around out there, but this is the last one you're going to need. Michael Felder and Stephen Hartzell empty the clip on Monday's natty, complete with a heavy dose of 'what it will take' for the underdog Miami to shock the world. Felder Five is loaded, as per usual, with some key points of emphasis ahead of the big game; can Mark Fletcher keep doing what he's been doing through the first three games on the ground? What about all of those single-digit studs along the Miami defense, and are they going to be able to disrupt the Heisman Trophy winner? Which if Indiana's pass-catchers are going to emerge as the ultimate weapon against a Miami secondary that can be got? Loads to get into, and the fellas do it for the final time ahead of toe meets leather down in South Florida.

Not sure what Wayne ate for breakfast today, but he came out of the gates on an absolute heater. We're talking Fernando Mendoza in the CFP type of heater. Just straight flames. In addition to the semifinal reaction and the obvious lookahead to Monday night's national championship, there are rants about the death of the SEC, capitalism, the over-value of players in the portal, and - you guessed it - what Bob Chesney is doing to re-build the roster in Westwood. Thankfully Phil Steele joins the show to talk some sense into this program with some balanced perspective and opinions on what's coming up next week at Hard Rock. Who does Phil like to win the game, and how does he feel about the over/under? You're going to want to stick around for those picks. Would Miami or Bloomington be a better place to be if you're an Indiana fan next Monday night? Hartzell has a take which, surprisingly, Wayne disagrees with vehemently. And if all that's not enough, there are two special guests who join the show with some natty predictions. An all-timer from our boy Wayne, a real tour-de-force performance for the former QB.

Our man Roddy Jones had boots on the ground for both BOTH CFP Semifinals last week so we had to bring him in and let the man cook on what he saw in Glendale & Atlanta. Tripp Hurd is back from a nasty stomach bug that had him sidelined for almost a full week, so the Doc is back and giving takes on what he expects to see with our Indiana vs Miami matchup for the whole enchilada. Hartzell has opinions (obviously) but the fellas look back before they look forward; How did Miami get it done against Ole Miss, and why is the Carson Beck narrative so complicated? What happens if the Canes catch one or two of the four (!) dropped INTs that Trinidad Chambliss offered? And should we be worried about Bane and Mesidor's reliance on oxygen and taking breaks late in that Fiesta Bowl win? As far as Indiana is concerned, it's obvious from the Oregon game that the Hoosiers are an absolute wagon, so what will it take for the U to slow them down in the Natty? Can they? Will they? The guys have a consensus on the game even though the paths to get there are all different. Just a few more college football shows left in the tank, kids. Turn us up and get your mind right for Monday night!

There's just one college football game left on the calendar and Hartzell is very confident how that one is going to play out next week. Time to turn the page and start talking some college hoops with our guy Matt Norlander from CBS Sports and the Eye on College Basketball podcast. We're two or three weeks into the conference campaign and Norlander is of the belief this is one of the best college basketball seasons we've had in recent memory? Of course we need to know what that is. The depth at the top of the sport, for one, but also the brands of these programs who are at the top of the rankings. Five undefeateds remain, including a couple of surprises (here's looking at you, Nebraska & Vanderbilt), but there's plenty of blue bloods lurking with just one or two losses. Throw in the number of talented freshmen who are balling every night (except for Darryn Peterson whose legs hurt, allegedly), and you've got one of the deeper NBA Draft classes as well. Who's the best conference in America? Who are some of the most disappointing teams - and leagues - at this point in the season? And how many games has Hartzell *actually* watched this year? Lots to get to, first college basketball show of the season, we're so back folks!

In a week filled with upsets, some pleasant surprises have emerged out of the pack - and Rob isn't afraid to admit he was wrong on teams like Ole Miss and Ohio State. He and Megan also recap another busy Thursday around the country, put Iowa State's loss on Wednesday into (recent) historical perspective and then preview a hectic weekend (that's a theme here the rest of the way). They wrap the show with one last all-time program draft, and they make it a mega-draft with 20 UConn players (10 per team).

You read that correctly, a special edition of Felder Friday because we have a CFP Semifinal tonight and we gotta give the people what they need before toe meets leather. Michael Felder and Stephen Hartzell are joined by CBS Sports' Chip Patterson to help break down both of these semis coming up, plus who does Chip think is going to move on to the main event down in South Florida on January 19th? We get some insight from Chip, including his highest rated 'LOCK' of the semifinal round, for those of us who keep tabs on that sort of activity. Felder is back with another 'That's my Dog' after his Alabama pick crashed and burned last time out. We got three college football games left, people. Let's get ready to run through the finish line as we get ready for some CFP action on a weeknight!

The Playoff talk continues as we head West to check in with our resident quarterback and silver fox Wayne Cook. How did Wayne feel about the Rose Bowl beat down (he had boots on the ground in Pasadena), plus who can give Indiana a game and what will it take for Oregon to hang around against a team that's already beaten them once this season (hint: perfection from the Ducks). Phil Steele joins the program to talk about how he sees the semifinals playing out, plus a look ahead to how the 2026 magazine is shaping up and how he would feel if his daughter brought Fernando Mendoza home (no, really). Don't sleep on the magic carpet ride that has been Ole Miss the last two weeks, can they do it again as underdogs against the U? The guys are ... skeptical. Hartzell slips in some Gavin Newsom jokes to rile up his base because we are so back, baby. Midweek edition of CSN coming at you!

Longtime listeners of the show will recall that there was some disagreement between Hartzell and the rest of the CSN crew on a certain Rose Bowl prediction that came true in a big way on January 1st. There was also a take from a few weeks ago by one Roddy Jones about Miami's ability to go on a run in the Playoff, if you'll recall. So today's show - while it is a full CFP Quarterfinal recap - is also a bit of a victory lap for our two hosts who are celebrating W's of a different kind. Hartzell and Roddy run through the four games that were, and look ahead to the two semifinals that are coming up later this week. No Tripp today because he's at home dealing with a stomach bug - but no worries we got Rodstradamus handing out some winners at the end of the show!

Women's basketball rang in calendar year 2026 by playing approximately 2,026 close/intriguing games on Thursday alone. Rob Joyce and Megan Gauer try to make sense of it all, from Kentucky's late winner in Baton Rouge to Georgia Tech's upset of Notre Dame and everything in between. Plus a preview of all the weekend's action (hint: lots of good Big Ten games) and then we end with our penultimate all-time program draft with Tennessee.

Last show of the year! We got the whole gang - Roddy, Wayne, Felder, and Hartzell - together to break down these CFP quarterfinal games (which start on Wednesday night, by the way). After about 15 minutes of coach talk dedicated to the latest Michigan Man (TM) and what to expect in Ann Arbor, the guys jump into the quartet of CFP games that await us. Does Roddy still think Miami is the most dangerous team in the playoff? Which quarterback in Miami/OSU are we more concerned about staying upright and why should Buckeyes fans be worried about the Cotton Bowl? Can Oregon's defense get it together against Texas Tech in the Orange? Or did they just look that bad on defense because they didn't respect JMU last week? Hartzell has a hot take on the Rose Bowl that everyone else vehemently disagrees with. Felder is riding with Alabama again after calling the upset last week against Oklahoma. And finally, does anyone have faith that Ole Miss can shock the Dawgs in New Orleans? There's a consensus on this game that probably won't surprise you. Is 5'8" almost 5'10" ... and does it really matter? Last CSN of 2025 coming in hot, let's make it count!
