The Canes dominate the conversation after bullying Ohio State and continuing to believe in themselves, with Keionte Scott’s draft stock skyrocketing and Miami now just one win away from potentially playing for a national championship at home. Joe debates the best storyline for the Canes in a title game, whether it’s a showdown with Oregon and former coach Mario Cristobal or Indiana led by Miami native QB Fernando Mendoza, as the CFP delivers new blood and shocks with first-round byes going 1–3 and Ole Miss staying hot post–Lane Kiffin. The focus then shifts to the Dolphins, where the GM search, awkward Tua situation, and uncertainty around Mike McDaniel signal another looming rebuild. Joe questions whether Tua returns, doubts Miami can land a premier QB in the draft, and looks ahead to NFL playoff matchups and major offseason decisions.
