College Football Is Almost Back — And Paddy Has Takes

The Two Minute Drill is back and Paddy is fired up for the 2026 college football season! Paddy, Eli, and John break down the Power Four conferences, debate the biggest contenders, crown their dark horses, argue over the Top 10, and preview the games they absolutely cannot wait to watch. From Miami and Notre Dame to Texas, Ohio State, Oregon, LSU, and the suddenly vulnerable Alabama Crimson Tide, the boys aren't short on opinions—or bold predictions.

Plus, Paddy unleashes his championship pick: the Miami Hurricanes. With preseason Heisman talk, betting angles, quarterback debates, and some serious preseason delusion, Episode 17 is the perfect warm-up for another chaotic college football season.

College football is almost here. The takes are already flying.

Welcome back to The Two Minute Drill, a Jury of Your Peers production! After a brief hiatus involving weddings and a "sad, sad" National Championship loss for the U, Paddy is back at the mic. He’s joined by regular guests John and Eli to dive deep into the 2026 NFL Draft.

For these three tortured Cleveland fans, Draft Day is the annual "Super Bowl." They break down their full first-round mock draft (no trades—mostly), the "freak" athletes to watch, and why the 2027 quarterback class already has them drooling.

Paddy and Eli break down a wild CFP semifinal slate with nerves, homerism, and zero chill. From Miami’s trench warfare path against Ole Miss to the chess match between Oregon and Indiana, the guys debate playoff structure, rust vs. momentum, group-of-five futures, and why being a favorite might actually be a curse. Paddy locks in bold Miami championship energy, Eli plays devil’s advocate, and both agree—college football is officially better than the NFL right now. Two semifinals, infinite storylines, and one very stressed Miami fan watching from a trivia bar.

If you love playoff chaos, predictions, and unfiltered college football talk—this one’s for you.

Paddy is joined by Eli and John for a no-holds-barred preview of the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, and it gets chaotic fast. From ruthless Michigan slander to transfer-portal conspiracy theories, the boys argue quarterbacks, roast coaching moves, and debate whether this playoff format is genius or already broken. Then it’s time for the main event: first-round CFP predictions, upset picks, betting angles, and wildly confident championship takes—including a full-blown Miami national title prophecy. Chaos, homerism, and playoff madness—just how college football should be.

Paddy is back with Eli for a high-stakes, live-before-the-reveal special as Week 14 and 15 chaos collides with the final College Football Playoff rankings. With the clock ticking down to Selection Sunday, the guys fire through everything: Ohio State’s snow-soaked domination of Michigan, Miami’s statement win at Pitt, Alabama’s meltdown, BYU vanishing, and the ACC doomsday scenario actually coming true.

They break down conference championship madness, argue Miami vs. Notre Dame vs. Bama, roast the committee’s logic (or lack thereof), and make their final predictions minutes before the bracket drops. Then the reveal hits, and the reactions get real.

This episode has everything—bets, beef, playoff math, conspiracy theories, and a cat losing its mind in the background. Judgment Day has arrived, and The Two Minute Drill is calling it as it is.

Rivalry Week is here, and Paddy is back with Eli for a loaded breakdown of the two games that matter most in their world. From Miami’s season-defining trip to cold-weather Pittsburgh to the looming chaos of The Game between Ohio State and Michigan, the guys dive into playoff stakes, pressure points, and why both matchups could reshape the CFP picture.

Paddy talks nerves, emotional hedges, and Miami’s path from “should they be in?” to “don’t blow it again,” while Eli breaks down why Ohio State might be able to name their score against Michigan. They wrap with a fiery look at the new CFP Top 12, committee chaos, and why Miami fans might need hazard pay.

Fast, fiery, and fueled by rivalry hatred—Episode 12 is everything Week 14 should be.

Paddy returns for a jam-packed two-week catch-up after missing a wild stretch of college football. From Miami’s overtime heartbreak at SMU to Georgia Tech’s defensive meltdown, Indiana’s miracle escape, and Washington losing to a team whose kicker led them in passing yards, Week 11 had chaos everywhere. Week 12 brings massive CFP shake-up potential with Notre Dame–Pitt, Oklahoma–Bama, USC–Iowa, and Texas–Georgia—all with playoff stakes and all hidden behind the YouTube TV/Disney blackout. Paddy breaks down the ACC doomsday scenario, why Oregon suddenly can’t throw, who’s alive in the CFP race, and his best bets of the week. Buckle up—parity season is entering the home stretch.

Death Valley turns into meltdown city this week as LSU gets thumped by Texas A&M — and Darrien unloads on Brian Kelly after the Tigers officially cut ties with their head coach and OC. From fiery LSU rants to Paddy’s “told-you-so” moment, the guys break down what went wrong, why Kelly never fit Louisiana culture, and where LSU goes from here.

Plus, they recap a wild week across college football — upsets, Heisman hype, and Texas-sized disappointment — before previewing Week 10’s biggest matchups, betting picks, and playoff outlooks.

🔥 LSU’s rebuild begins.

Tune in — it’s chaos, catharsis, and college football therapy, all in under two minutes (give or take an hour).

This week on The Two Minute Drill, Paddy rides solo through a wild college football weekend — and his first Miami loss of the season. From Louisville’s Friday night ambush to Georgia and Ole Miss trading haymakers, it’s pure chaos in the top 25. Vanderbilt’s the new SEC dark horse (yes, really), Notre Dame and USC reignite their rivalry in the rain, and Alabama might just be back from the dead.

Paddy breaks down the biggest games, calls out Carson Beck’s postgame blame game, and drops this week’s betting picks — including a spicy LSU upset special in Death Valley. Plus, he unveils his first College Football Playoff Top 12 and crowns a (painful) national champion pick.
