January 08, 2026 Rose Bowl Reality Check: Alabama’s Loss, Ty Simpson Goes Pro & Portal Chaos | Bama and Bourbon
Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama break down the end of Alabama’s 2025 campaign. The guys recap Alabama’s season-ending loss to Indiana in the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff, what went wrong for the Crimson Tide, and what the game revealed about the direction of the program.

Lance and Aaron also discuss Ty Simpson’s decision to go pro, what it means for Alabama’s quarterback room, and dive head-first into the lunacy of the transfer portal — from roster turnover and NIL chaos to how Kalen DeBoer and the Tide can navigate the new college football landscape moving forward.

As always, the conversation is paired with a quality pour. This week’s bourbon is Kentucky Vintage, a classic bottle that fits perfectly with reflection, big-picture discussion, and offseason talk. The guys share tasting notes and why it’s a solid choice for football fans and bourbon enthusiasts alike.

🥃 If you’re an Alabama Football fan or love talking college football over a good bourbon, this episode is for you.
👉 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE to The Next Round YouTube channel for more episodes of Bama and Bourbon, where Crimson Tide analysis and bourbon appreciation meet every week — in season and beyond.

January 07, 2026 Josh Pate Breaks Down the Playoff Semifinals and What's Ailing Alabama?
On3 Sports and ESPN’s Josh Pate joined us for a wide-ranging, in-depth conversation on everything happening across college football as the College Football Playoff takes center stage.

Josh breaks down the future of the College Football Playoff format and what changes could be coming as the sport continues to evolve. We dive into Miami’s progression throughout the season, including whether Mario Cristobal has finally shaken the reputation of costly in-game coaching mistakes. The discussion also turns to Ole Miss, where Pete Golding appears to be pushing all the right buttons following the departure of Lane Kiffin.

Of course, no college football conversation is complete without Alabama. Josh analyzes what’s ailing the Crimson Tide, why the margin for error feels slimmer than ever, and what needs to change moving forward. We also preview the College Football Playoff semifinal matchup between Oregon and Indiana, examining whether the Ducks have a realistic path to victory against the Hoosiers.

If you’re a fan of college football, the SEC, Big Ten, Alabama, Ole Miss, Miami, Oregon, Indiana, or the College Football Playoff, this is a must-watch conversation packed with insight, analysis, and strong opinions.
