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.

In today’s episode, Jordan and DJ discuss Christmas shopping and the need for a vacation. In the news, DJ and Jordan discuss the hiring of Michael Vick as the head coach of Norfolk State. There was a conversation about the impact this will have on the university, the athletes, and the publicity the school is already receiving.

In the two-minute drill, Jordan begins with a rant about the disingenuous conversation surrounding the teams in the playoffs vs. those not. There is never going to be a set gauge for what qualifies a team for playoffs because there are varying degrees of separation. The only guarantee is: wins and losses. The teams that managed to pull that off are the teams in the playoffs, regardless of blowout games, they earned their spots. Jordan also discusses his issues with Kirk Herbstreit’s comments about Ohio State’s “Lunatic Fanbase”.

DJ and Jordan also discuss their takeaways from each playoff game. DJ shares her experience at State College as well as her honest opinions about the quality of both SMU and Penn State’s play. There is also discussion of the concept of home-field advantage and what teams are allowed to do when hosting a College Playoff  Football Game. Jordan praises Cade Klubnik’s performance at Texas despite the loss. DJ praises Ohio State’s performance and doubles down on her thought that they should’ve beaten Penn State.

In the Pre-Game Power Sweep, we share which upcoming Bowl Games we will be watching.

In the Two-Minute Warning, DJ discusses her excitement about the scheduling of certain marquee matchups for Women’s college basketball like the UConn - USC matchup. Jordan discusses the drama surrounding the new NWSL Soccer team slated to begin play in Boston in 2026.
