January 22TNR 1/22/26 - Hour 1 | Bediako Plays For Alabama Saturday?
The Alabama Crimson Tide has had an active midweek bye this week without playing a game, the Crimson Tide may have former Alabama Basketball big man Charles Bediako available Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers at 7:30 on ESPN.
It was an active Wednesday on the Bediako front as a Tuscaloosa judge ruled in his favor with a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that allows Bediako to be eligible for Saturday’s game during the delay prior to the Tuesday hearing that will determine his ultimate eligibility.
The NCAA is not happy about this and coaches and ADs from across the country have weighed in on what has happened in Tuscaloosa. We will hear from them.

January 21 Greatest College Football Turnaround Ever? Connor O’Gara on Indiana’s National Championship
Saturday Down South’s Connor O’Gara joins The Next Round for a fun conversation as his alma mater Indiana Hoosiers Football completes one of the most shocking runs in sports history by winning the College Football National Championship. From Bloomington to the top of the college football world, we break down how Indiana went from longshot to title holder and what it means for the future of the sport.

Connor shares the exact moment he knew this Indiana team was different, dives into the impact and leadership of head coach Curt Cignetti, and tackles the biggest question facing the program now: can Indiana sustain this level of success after back-to-back historic seasons? We also explore whether this championship gives real hope to non-traditional college football powers and debate if this is truly the greatest turnaround in college football history.

Plus, we dig into Indiana’s NIL operation, the resources fueling the Hoosiers’ rise, and whether billionaire alum Mark Cuban could help tip the scales even further in Bloomington going forward.

If you’re an Indiana fan, a Big Ten fan, or just love college football, this is a must-watch breakdown of one of the most unbelievable championship runs ever.

January 20 Last Call | Miami vs Indiana Proves College Football Has Changed Forever
College football is changing fast — and not everyone is winning.
In this episode, we dive into the unexpected national championship matchup between Miami and Indiana, a game nobody saw coming at the start of the season. We break down why Indiana might cover, how schematic football can beat raw talent, and Miami’s modern formula for success: buy the quarterback, pay big, and build around him.
We also get into the transfer portal and NIL fallout, including why the SEC might be a “pretender” league right now, Alabama losing key defensive pieces to Ohio State, and why programs without elite funding may fall behind fast. Is college football becoming a sport where only a handful of schools can truly compete?
Then, the conversation takes a personal turn as we reflect on the passing of Bob Weir. From missed trips to the Sphere in Las Vegas to unforgettable performances with Dead & Company, we share stories, regrets, and what Bob Weir meant to music — and to us.
This episode blends college football analysis, portal chaos, NIL reality, and a heartfelt farewell to a legend — don’t miss it.
👇 Drop your thoughts below:
Is Indiana built to shock the world?
Is NIL killing competitive balance?
Where does Bob Weir rank among the greatest live performers ever?
