Dave Bartoo of the College Football Matrix joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about why the championship game is very rare, the loaded QB draft class and who could win it all in college football live in the BankPlus Studio. Dave talks about how crazy it is that the national championship game is between two teams that aren't elite recruiters. Dave looks back at the history of non-elite recruiters in the national championship and how only one of them has won it so far. Dave talks about Washington Head Coach Kalen DeBoer turning the program around after it was mishandled. Bo asks Dave if he would take Michael Penix or Jayden Daniels and he thinks that Penix proved more with less talent than Jayden Daniels did. Dave talks about how the numbers favored Michigan to beat Alabama and even though they played a sloppy game they were still able to pull it out. Dave never thought that Jim Harbaugh would ever win a national title at Michigan and thinks he doesn't get enough credit for the job he did with the program. LSU has fired their defensive coordinator and Bo asks Dave about what a good play caller could mean for the team. Dave talks about how LSU had the second best offense in the country but their defense needed to be at least top 20 in order for them to be a playoff team. Dave thinks that Ole Miss has almost everything it would take to make a run at the championship next year but the 12 team playoff makes it harder to knock off the top dogs.

MLB legend and five-time Allstar Larry Bowa who won a world series both as a player and then as a coach joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line. Bo asks Larry about his start in baseball, and the Philadelphia Phillies Wall of Famer says he was cut three times from his high school team because of his size. He got signed to JUCO through summer ball and from there worked his way to the minors then the majors. Never thought about quitting because of his dad who was a minor league player with over 2,000 hits and never got drafted. Bo asked him when he realized he could have a career, and Larry said it was in the minor leagues. He was told he could be a major league utility player, but if he could learn to switch-hit, he would be an everyday player in AAA, so that is what he did and hit around .270-.280 as a switch-hitter. Bo asks Larry when he was with the Phillies when did they realize they were going to be good. Larry says that in the mid 70s they started to play really good but were still missing something. The missing piece was Pete Rose. At that point Dallas Green took over and that is what led them to where they were in the 1980s. After a tough series with Houston, Bowa felt there was really no pressure on them going in the World Series at that point. Bo asks if he still talks to Pete Rose. Larry says he sees him a good bit and that he believes Rose is at peace with not being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Bo wants to know what Mike Schmidt was like as a player and a personality. Larry says he was a natural athlete and could make it look easy with any type of ball in his hand.

Head of Football Product at Pro Football Focus (PFF) Steve Palazzolo joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line to talk about the upcoming NFL Playoffs, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys run game, and more going into week going into week 18. Bo asks him who is the comeback player of the year Joe Flacco or Baker Mayfield. Steve shuns them both and says it's actually Damar Hamlin, but that Flacco is doing amazing and playing very aggressive. In the Texans Vs. the Colts, Steve thinks the Colts with Garner Minshew are a sneaky good team and Minshew is playing great, but he's still leaning towards a Texans win saying they have more potential coming into the game. Bo asks Steve about Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy going to PFF before taking the head coaching job. Steve says it was a sort of in-between phase for him and that PFF is a great resource for coaches and teams. They each discuss the disappointment that is the Cowboys running game. Steve believes Dak Prescott, who he considers the best QB in the NFC, can carry the rest of the team to a win on the road. Bo wants to know what Steve is expecting from the Eagles, and he thinks that their defense has been bad recently. He also thinks the Bucs could be dangerous. Steve also thinks that even though the Packers defense has been lacking, they are still a threat and can still score on you, but they are likely a year away.

Steve breaks down that Michigan used NIL to pay current players rather than bringing in new guys each year. Bo asks Steve about going to the national championship and he says Washington was the main team that concerned him going into the playoffs. Steve talks about how he thinks Michigan can run the football on Washington and expects a career day for RB Blake Corum. Bo asks Steve if Jim Harbaugh will stay and he thinks there's an 80% chance Harbaugh leaves if the Wolverines win it all.
