[01:55] NOTRE DAME VS. INDIANA UNDER THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

The CFP is here, and Notre Dame is making history, hosting Indiana in a Friday night showdown. GoJo dives into the emotional chaos of watching ND games while Golic breaks down key matchups: Can Notre Dame’s run game handle Indiana’s tough defense?

[10:34] SMU AT PENN STATE: PROVE IT OR LOSE IT?

SMU rides a 10-game road win streak into Happy Valley, where Penn State looks to extend its dominance. Can SMU show it belongs in the playoff conversation? GoJo and Golic examine the QB duel, Penn State’s run game, and how Brashard Smith might be the game-changer.

[14:00] TEXAS VS. CLEMSON: A QB RIVALRY RENEWED

[16:44] SAMMY SOSA APOLOGIZES… SORT OF
