Alabama has once again been crowned College Football National Champions! To help us discuss the college football season and Alabama's achievement, we turn to Ed Southern, perhaps the only individual still buying glossy college football magazines found in the supermarket magazine aisle. Also, we get a preview of Ed's new book focused on relationships, college sports, and the South coming out in the fall.

The NFL Playoffs are here! We welcome back Senior WFT/WTF Correspondent Sarah Spooner to help us break down the wackiness of week 17, playoff match-ups as well as the return of the Washington Football Team to the playoffs. 

2020 was certainly a garbage pile fire of a year, but there were sports moments that helped us distract, forget, and celebrate. To recognize these moments, we welcome back Phillip Chester, the show's first and (sometimes) most frequent guest, as well as contributions from many past Syndrome guests and correspondents.

Is that college football's music that we hear? If so, we know that it's time to welcome Tim "MACtion" Jackson back to the show to talk about his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide, the cowardice of the playoff committee, and our favorite Syndrome gameshow: Will You Be Watching This Bowl Game? Also we casually discuss the Buffalo Bills clinching the AFC East.
