On this weeks episode...Ohio State wins the first ever 12 Team Playoff National Championship behind Will Howard and Jeremiah Smiths amazing post season run. Ryan Day has finally captured the elusive Title he has been searching for since he was hired at Ohio State. Coach Ryan Day finally silences the critics and has stamped his legacy as one of the best coaches in College Football right now. The NFL Divisional Round is over and the Conference Championships are set. In the AFC The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills in the long anticipated playoff rematch from the 2 best Quarterbacks in the NFL. In the NFC Saquon Barkley and the Eagles take on Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in an NFC East Showdown in the NFC Title Game. Who will advance to Super Bowl 59?

On this weeks episode, I dive into both the College Football Playoff and NFL Playoffs. The NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IS SET!!!! OHIO STATE taking on NOTRE DAME. After running through the 12 Team Playoff both teams who were doubted about their legitimacy during the regular season have clawed their way to the National Championship. Ohio State looks to win its first Title since the inaugural 4 Team Playoff in 2014...will history repeat itself in the inaugural 12 Team Playoff? Or will Notre Dame finally capture their first National Championship since 1988? WHO WINS? In the NFL playoffs we saw multiple games get out of hand and probably none more significant than the Steelers getting dismantled by Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Where do the Steelers go from here? Is it time to move on from longtime head coach Mike Tomlin? And what other changes should be made to the Steelers franchise which hasn't been the same since Ben Roethlisburger Retired? All this and more on this weeks Episode! 

On this weeks episode I invite my good friend Alex on to talk the NFL Wild Card Weekend and the College Football Playoff Semifinals. The CFP Semis is set with the final 4 teams looking to be crowned champion in the first iteration of the 12-Team Playoff. Ohio State will face Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Penn State takes on Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. With how Hot Ohio State is playing right now, does Texas have a chance to stun the Buckeyes? And if Ohio State makes it to the Championship Game, who between Penn State and Notre Dame has the best shot to knock off the Buckeyes? With the NFL regular season concluding we look to Wild Card Weekend. Chargers v. Texans, Steelers v. Ravens, Broncos v. Bills, Packers v. Eagles, Commanders v. Buccaneers, and Vikings v. Rams who will advance to the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs? All this on this weeks Episode, available also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

On this weeks episode I dive into the Quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. Beginning with Penn State and Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on New Years Eve. On New Years Day Texas and Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, Ohio State vs. Oregon in the Rose Bowl and finally the Sugar Bowl with Notre Dame taking on Georgia. Who will advance to the final 4? The NFL playoffs is drawing closer and with one week left who will clinch the No. 1 Seed in the NFC between the Vikings and the Lions? And who will clinch the final spots in the wild card round?

On this weeks episode I dive into Round 1 of the College Football Playoff. The first round was amazing as we kick off a new era of college football....12 TEAM PLAYOFF FOOTBALL. Despite the monumental milestone in college football, the games to many left a lot to be desired, mainly concerning the teams that had to go on the road and travel for the first round. EVERY...SINGLE...GAME!!! Was decided by double digits. Notre Dame over Indiana 27-17, Penn State over SMU 38-10, Texas over Clemson 38-24, and Ohio State over Tennessee 42-17. With the new format and the at-large teams that made it in have college football analysts and fans questioning the committee's decision to put them in over Miami, Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. While the first round was monumental and a little disappointing, the new 12 Team CFP is Here and it is sure to have an immaculate finish come January!

On this weeks episode I dive into the Heisman Trophy debate. Travis Hunter is the 2024 Heisman Trophy Winner! While many feel it is deserving, there are many more who believe running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State was snubbed! While Travis is the best two-way player in the nation he's wasn't considered the best wide out or the best defensive back in the country. Jeanty meanwhile is closing in on Barry Sanders single season rushing record only needing 130 more yards to top the NFL Hall of Famer 👀. Did Travis deserve the Heisman Trophy? Or was Ashton Jeanie Snubbed for the award? All this and more on this weeks episode!

THE PLAYOFF IS SET...NO MORE RANKINGS...THE 12 TEAM PLAYOFF IS HERE AND IT IS.......Controversial! With the playoff set to roll on December 20th there is a lot of head scratching decisions the CFB Committee made in their final seedings. Oregon completed the season undefeated and won the Big 10 Title and earned their place as the top team in College Football and their reward is having the toughest road to the National Championship 👀, SMU despite losing to Clemson in the ACC Title game was awarded the last available spot in the playoff ahead of Alabama. That begs the question, did the committee get it right? The format of the new 12 Team Playoff is very flawed in regards to Conference Championship Games, Strength of Schedule, and Auto Byes in the new CFP. With all the controversy going on, this is set for the most intriguing finish in the history of College Football. How will the playoff evolve and how will it change the dynamic of the sport in the years to come?

On this weeks episode I dive into the end of the Regular Season in College Football! The biggest surprises of this past week were No. 2 Ohio State losing to an inferior Michigan team in Columbus 13-10, keeping the Buckeyes from playing in a rematch against Oregon in the Big 10 Championship Game! What does this mean for the future of head coach Ryan Day? Having lost to Michigan for the 4th straight year does this warrant a head coaching change in Columbus? And Syracuse after being down 21-0 to the No. 6 Miami Hurricanes pull off a comeback for the ages to upset the Hurricanes 42-38, eliminating Miamis chance at the ACC Championship game. Will the Canes resume hold up against Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina for one of the final spots in the college football playoff? The Conference Title Games are set and who will make the final 12 Team Playoff come Selection Sunday. The Big 12 comes down to Iowa State and Arizona State, The Big 10 with Oregon taking on Penn State, The ACC with SMU taking on Clemson, and in the SEC the anticipated rematch between Georgia and Texas! WHOS IN?

On this weeks episode...THE GAME is here, Saturday November 30th, the rivalry is renewed between Ohio State and Michigan. Michigan having a down year looks to empty the tank against Ohio State and keep them from going to the Big 10 Title game against Oregon. Ohio State having lost the past three years to Michigan look to rebound in a big way and send a message that Ohio State is back on top in the most hated rivalry in college football. This being the Last week of the regular season, who will compete for the Conference Championships? Georgia Clinched their spot with Alabama and Ole Miss getting upset last week and now the Bulldogs wait patiently for the winner between Texas and Texas A&M to see who they will face in the SEC Title. SMU clinches the first ACC Title bid and now waits for the finish between Miami and Syracuse...A win for Miami sends them to play SMU but a loss sends Clemson to the Title game...Playoff Hopes hang in the balance for Miami and Clemson this week. Oregon waits to see if it will rematch Ohio State or will face Penn State or Indiana in the Big 10 Championship. And which two out of Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, and Iowa State will find themselves in the Big 12 Title Game? All this and more on this weeks episode!

On this weeks episode, with 2 weeks left in the regular season, I dive into all the conferences in College Football and discuss the possible outcomes of the regular season and who will possibly make the conference championship games and represent their conference in the college football playoff as a champion. The ACC is down to three teams...SMU, Miami, and Clemson. Clemson needs help to get to Charlotte but if the Hurricanes and Mustangs win the remaining 2 weeks they will meet to crown the ACC Champion. The Big 12 is a close race with Colorado, BYU, Arizona State, and Iowa State, all still in contention for the top 2 spots in the Big 12. The Big 10 is down to Oregon, Ohio State, Indiana, and Penn State. The odds have Oregon and Ohio State meeting for a rematch in the title game but the Buckeyes will be tested this week against Indiana. The biggest dog fight is the SEC with 6 TEAMS who can still make the SEC Title...Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee all still have a chance to make it to the SEC Championship Game. 
I also make my 12 Team Playoff Prediction...with the season coming to a close and only a few weeks remaining to decide who will make the CFP I make my prediction of who the 12 Teams will be going at it for the National Championship at the conclusion of the year.
