In our sports legal segment we discuss why the fallout from the Maryland/DJ Durkin saga could get ugly and quickly. Plus can Jimmy Butler just skip games without any penalty while he awaits a trade or can the Timberwolves do anything?

After an offensive showcase between UCF and Temple last night the win streak continues for the Knights but the critics (and some fans) are pointing out the flaws with the team. Marc explains that if you want to focus on the flaws thats fine but you should also just enjoy the win. Ignore the playoff talk and enjoy winning.

Last week Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby voiced his support for Danny White in his fight to get UCF more respect. Now fast forward to yesterday when Bowlsby now voiced his opposition to valuing the achievements by the Knights. Marc tries to explain why he decided to walk back his support.

Last night Derrick Rose scored 50 points in a Timberwolves win which overshadowed the latest drama involving Jimmy Butler in his standoff with the organization. Marc explains that the team is the one that holds all the cards in this situation because it is Butler that is not living up to the contract that he signed.

After a disappointing loss for the Magic last night against the Kings, Marc lays out the numbers that prove that in this iteration of the NBA you have to make 3's. Not as much as the Warriors and Rockets but it needs to be a part of the offensive philosophy.

The first College Football Playoff rankings are out and UCF fans are not happy with where the committee has ranked them. Marc lays out the chaos scenario that the Knights will need to help them have an outside chance of making the playoffs this season.

Tim Brando from Fox Sports joins the show to discuss the UCF fight to get a fair treatment when it comes to the College Football Playoff rankings. He also talks about whether he thinks UCF should just let the play on the field do the talking for them. And he discusses when he thinks changes might come to the current playoff system.

Every since Danny White said the words 'National Champions' after the Peach Bowl it has seemed like UCF has been on an island when it comes to discussing the inequality in college football in regards to the playoff rankings. Does UCF need other schools from the Group of 5 to join in and speaking out about the problems with the college football structure?

After taking time away from Twitter, Marc discusses how UCF fans need to stop focusing on all the hate about playoff rankings and ESPN not giving the school respect and enjoy the play on the field.

Andrea Adelson joins the show to explain what happened to Florida State this weekend after head coach Willie Taggart said that players quit during the game against Clemson. She talks about how a lot of these problems were glossed over when the team was winning but it is a deep culture problem that can't be blamed on Jimbo Fisher.
