John and Zach return after a few weeks off after the end of the 2020 season for the first Saturday Blitz Podcast of the offseason. The first segment focuses in on stories from the Senior Bowl before turning to discuss realignment gossip after the break. In the final two segments, we turn our attention to the best and worst coaching hires so far this offseason.

John and Zach offer some instant reactions to Alabama's defeat of Ohio State in the College Football Playoff national championship. This episode was recorded immediately after the conclusion of the 52-24 Crimson Tide victory. Included in the discussion are takes on where this Alabama team stands among Nick Saban's six national titles in Tuscaloosa and where Mac Jones fits among all-time Crimson Tide quarterbacks.

John and Zach return for the first episode of 2021 with a look back at the College Football Playoff semifinals and a look ahead to the championship game between Alabama and Ohio State.

John and Zach discuss all things College Football Playoff this week, beginning with an overview of what the selection committee got right and what they got wrong with the final Top 25 of the season. In the second segment the discussion turns to the cancellation of the Rose Bowl and what it means for the shape of future postseasons. In the third spot John introduces a discussion about the Coaches Poll and where Group of Five coaches voted for Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina. The final two segments break down the New Year's Six games and the two College Football Playoff semifinals.

John and Zach are both back this week with a fully loaded episode. The opening segment begins with a broad overview of the 2020 bowl season. After the first break the discussion turns to a debate about the merits of Ohio State, USC, and the Big Ten and Pac-12 in a year where both leagues played fewer games. The third segment digs into the flagging hopes of Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina to make noise in the national discussion and what Group of Five teams must do. The last segment offers a three-part look at every conference championship game against the spread.
