The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Colin is joined by former Alabama QB and ESPN college football analyst Greg McIlory to break down the playoff rankings and preview the playoff!

They start by discussing how much of a “cold weather” advantage Big Ten teams will have when hosting SEC teams from a warmer climate (3:00). They debate whether Georgia’s mediocre O-line could sink them in the playoffs when faced with a team with a strong defensive front like Penn State (5:00) and explain why fans shouldn’t judge Oregon for their narrow escape over Wisconsin (8:15)

They discuss why Alabama has been overlooked due to living in the shadow of Nick Saban (13:00) and whether Texas is the best “eye test” team in the country (22:30). They parse what to make of Colorado and whether they deserve to make the playoff (28:00) and debate what Ohio State’s true identity is besides “talented” (31:00)

Finally, they try to diagnose what is “off” about LSU (44:30) and end with who could be the surprise team in the playoff and why a Lane Kiffin vs Steve Sarkisian matchup in the national championship isn’t out of the question (59:30).

Introducing Trump's YOLO Cabinet from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Donald Trump goes all in on naming his biggest political boosters to Cabinet posts, whether they're qualified or not (they're not!). Trump wants alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, vaccine skeptic RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary, dictator sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for the newly invented Department of Government Efficiency. Jon and Dan discuss the odds of Senate Republicans blocking any of these nominations, why Trump picked them in the first place, and how Democrats can respond without defending the status quo. Then, Jon sits down with Senator-elect Andy Kim of New Jersey to talk about how Democrats can listen and learn after the election, what Kim thinks of Trump's Cabinet picks so far, and learning to be comfortable with uncomfortable politics.

Colin declares Saquon Barkley as the Eagles “savior” and explains why the devaluing of the running back position was never going to last (4:00). Then, he argues that Jayden Daniels may have hit the “rookie wall” after a blistering start to the season (11:30).
