Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football…and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the major matchups of the previous weekend and look ahead at the games, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host DaNaysia Jones. Lock in as we run a power sweep through the college football landscape.

On this week’s episode, Jordan and DJ take a moment to absorb the fact that the 2024 College Football regular season is officially over. Jordan shares his thoughts about how Ohio State’s season has gone, it’s time for Ryan Day to lose his job. It doesn’t matter if he quits or gets fired but Ohio State needs a new coach as soon as possible. DJ, an SMU alum, speaks about SMU making the ACC championship game in their first season in the conference. With the season coming to an end we take a minute to review the teams in all seven conference championships games being held this weekend.

In the two-minute drill, Jordan spends much longer than two minutes on the state of the Ohio State program. From the lack of adding a kicker in the transfer portal to the poor decision-making and playcalling, Ryan Day has a program he can not coach this program and he has a mental block when it comes to Michigan, it’s time to move on. After the Ohio State game, a major fight broke out due to Michigan trying to plant their flag at Ohio State’s50-yardd line. The same scenario happened and led to fights in multiple games this Saturday including Florida-Florida State and UNC-NC State. DJ and Jordan express how embarrassing it is for programs to win, try to disrespect the losing program, and then be shocked when there are consequences. Fights shouldn’t happen but teams also shouldn’t outwardly disrespect their opponent and expect them to accept it lying down. 

Two of our predictions ended up right this weekend as Syracuse overcame a 21-point deficit to beat Miami ending their chances to make the ACC championship game. Throughout his career, Mario Cristobal has failed to win big games so this loss was easy to see coming. South Carolina also pulled an upset beating Clemson in their in-state rivalry game to end the season 9-3, a perfect end to a great year for the theGamecockss.

For the power sweep segment, we have five great conference championship games for you to check out starting with UNLV-Boise State on Friday. On Saturday at Noon, we have Iowa State vs. Arizona State followed by a Georgia-Texas rematch for the SEC championship game. We have two bangers in the primetime slot with Oregon and Penn State playing for the Big Ten championship and SMU hoping to upset Clemson to win the ACC. We have a Saturday full of great games to watch even though it's a smaller slate. 

In the two-minute warning, DJ celebrates Beyonce headlining the NFL’s Christmas Day game while Jordan is annoyed by the lack of good deals on Black Friday. 25% isn’t a good deal, if the deal doesn’t start at 40% or higher they can keep it!
