The high school football playoffs roll on and this weekend we've got some Central Florida teams playing along with some rivalry matchups. JC Carnahan joins the show to talk about what happened last weekend and what to look forward to on Friday night.

It has been anything but a normal college football season but tonight will bring a little bit of normalcy when the playoff committee releases their first set of rankings. Matt Murschel joins the show to talk about what we might see, how they'll handle a couple of undefeated Group of 5 teams, plus he talks about the FSU-Clemson situation and when we could see McKenzie Milton back on the field.

Dabo Swinney is furious the game was not played. He blames FSU for basically chickening out of the game and says he won't bring his team back to Tallahassee to play the game unless the Seminoles pay for their travel or they can play the game at Clemson. Florida State officials have their reasons for not playing and just maybe their reason is because they wanted to protect their players and why is anyone arguing that point?

FSU doesn't need another loss to know this season has been a bad one. Clemson's resume for the College Football Playoff committee does not need a 50-point win over FSU to still make the made-for-tv invitational.

We all knew that the NBA offseason was going to be different this year, with the draft and free agency happening the same we saw a weekend full of moves happen. Marc talks about Gordon Hayward gets PAID, the Pelicans are better than when SVG took the job, and the Magic did nothing to improve the roster.

It was a moment that no one could ever script, Orlando City advances in the MLS Cup Playoffs but the story of how that happened with be remembered forever. Evan Weston joins the show to talk about the thrilling penalty kick victory for the Lions, the confusion on the field, and how Rodrigo Schlegel has become a hero for supporters.

If you are looking for someone to blame because a football game between Clemson and Florida State was not played the answer is the virus and everything it brings. Did Clemson do everything it was supposed to do to play the game? Maybe. Did FSU choose an easy out to avoid getting drilled by Clemson? Maybe.

On this weeks edition of The Beat Of Sports: Weekend Pod, Mike DeCourcy joins us to talk about the decision to play March Madness in one city, the prospects of playing a college basketball this fall and the top in-stadium songs in college football.

It is one of the marquee games of the college football weekend as the undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats take on the UCF Knights. Gary Parris joins the show to preview all of the action and talks about what Cincy does so well on defense and what the Knights can do to overcome it.

On Thursday night the Orlando Magic selected Cole Anthony, but what does he bring to the team? Mike O'Donnell joins the show to talk about how the team can integrate the point guard into the system. Plus he talks about the picks that the liked from the NBA Draft.

The high school football continues tonight, and JC Carnahan joins the show to talk about the marquee games to pay attention to all across Central Florida.
