The Solid Verbal College Football Show

In this college football podcast episode, we reconnect with our friend Bill Connelly from ESPN.com to put a bow on one of the most entertaining seasons in recent memory. Was there more parity in 2024, or did it just feel that way? How good is Indiana? How do his numbers react to so much transfer portal activity? What's the deal with Georgia? Which team has teams have the idea playoff paths, and what do we make of Dan's new Oregon playoff theory?

In this college football podcast episode, we get some leftover thoughts off our chest regarding the upcoming College Football Playoff, the lack of interesting bowl matchups elsewhere, and the unfortunate news that Carson Beck has an injured UCL. Plus, some early portal smoke as the Transfer Portal opens and figures to be an active year for quarterbacks and wide receivers. And, last but not least, some thoughts on Bill Belichick's flirtations with the North Carolina coaching job.

College football has its nine conference champions.

Plus, a look back at Boise State's win over UNLV and a quick look at the other Group of Five conference champions. And, of course, an impromptu College Football Playoff bracket projection. Will SMU or Alabama be the 12th team in the tournament?

It's Championship Week, and there are just 9 big games left before the college football postseason! In this college football podcast episode, we debate whether Iowa State can stop Arizona State's momentum, if Georgia-Texas 2.0 will look any different, the difference in playstyles between Clemson and SMU, the ways Penn State could pull an upset over Oregon, whether Boise State's offense has gone stagnant, and how this week's games will ultimately affect the College Football Playoff field. Plus, a disagreement over Tulane vs. Army, back-to-back Western Kentucky vs. Jacksonville State games, a shoutout to Tim Albin and Ohio, and a key matchup to watch in the Sun Belt title game. Oh, and Lehigh playing far away from home in the Kibbie Dome.

Surprise, it's an extra episode! College football changed its calendar this year, putting National Signing Day smack dab in the middle of Championship Week. In this conversation, we detail the key recruiting storylines for Wednesday's festivities with our good friend Brandon Huffman from 247Sports. How has recruiting changed in the era of the transfer portal and big money NIL possibilities? Which teams are over- and underperforming in the recruiting game? How much negotiation is taking place between recruits and colleges?

Let's get ready for Rivalry Week. In this college football podcast episode, we break down all the glory that Week 14 has to offer. Will Texas or Texas A&M make the SEC title game? Can Ryan Day break Ohio State's losing streak against Michigan? Will the Iron Bowl have more weirdness in 2024? Can Notre Dame seal its Playoff fate by beating USC? Will Arizona State take back the Territorial Cup? Plus, we wonder whether Diego Pavia has any magic left, if Syracuse can take down Miami, if Oregon can exact revenge, whether Kansas State can run its way to a Farmaggeddon victory, if South Carolina can win the Palmetto Bowl, and more.
