January 06, 2021 DeVonta Smith secures Heisman Trophy & National Championship's possible postponement?
Andy welcomes The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach to react to the 2020 Heisman Trophy winner, DeVonta Smith (:30). The duo examine Smith's season, and discuss that despite his less than ideal physique, according to pundits, how truly magnificent a year this was for him both performance-wise and style-wise. The two converse about Trevor Lawrence earning Heisman votes despite missing time this season, and breakdown their Heisman ballot (9:30). Before wrapping, the duo respond to news Tuesday afternoon of the possibility of the National Championship being postponed because of Covid-19 concerns from Ohio State (17:00).

January 02, 2021 Sugar Bowl stunner, Trey Sermon surges & Notre Dame covered!
Andy and Ari react to an entertaining College Football Playoff semifinal round, headlined by an astonishing, convincing Ohio State win over Clemson. Though there were numerous noteworthy performances on behalf of the Buckeyes, Trey Sermon certainly shined (4:00). How did the former University of Oklahoma do-it-all back find himself in a potentially career-defining stretch of games? OSU finally overcame Clemson, the hurdle taunting them in recent years (15:00). How important was it for the Buckeyes to squash this boogeyman, especially one that has lured in-state prospects away from them? Should we be concerned about Justin Fields' potential rib injury (26:15)? Lastly, Notre Dame covered! And other Rose Bowl takeaways (29:15).

December 29, 2020 Power Auer: Trevor Lawrence vs. Justin Fields
The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach & Michael Felder discuss Friday's semi-final matchups. Alabama's vertical threat will be too much for Notre Dame.

December 23, 2020 Auburn hires Bryan Harsin & Salty Kevin Wilson and Dabo Swinney
Happy early Christmas! Andy and preparing-to-open-his-third-eye Ari Wasserman, react to the Auburn Tigers tabbing Boise State head coach Bryan Harsin as their next head coach (1:30). Is Harsin the right fit for the job? Are there any perceived pitfalls? The duo analyze both Auburn's and Boise State's recruiting track record and deliberate impact Harsin could have in that field (10:30). There's salt in this year's Sugar Bowl! Dabo Swinney and Kevin Wilson's, Ohio State offensive coordinator, banter has all the makings for a must-watch football game (21:30). Can we please get more of this type of needling, and why is it so frowned upon?

December 22, 2020 Power Auer: Is the CFP system broken?
The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach & Stadium's Michael Felder give their takes on the 2021 College Football Playoff. Is the selection committee a broken system? Somehow 9-2 Army didn't make a bowl game while 2-8 South Carolina did. Undefeated Cincinnati didn't even get consideration for the top 4. Dabo Swinney doesn't think Ohio State deserves to be in the playoff. Last call!

December 20, 2020 CFP Selection Day reaction, what would an 8-team playoff look like & Texas A&M's future
Andy and Ari Wasserman serve up their reaction to the College Football Playoff Selection Day top-4 teams (:30). Was this the playoff we were expecting? Was there a team that was snubbed, say a Cincinnati (10:30)? The duo imagine what an eight-team playoff would look like with this field of teams (13:30). Which program in that eight-team scenario would surprise the field? Was Texas A&M's exclusion from the playoff justified (20:45)? Is Notre Dame the right number four? Should optimism be sky high for Aggies fans moving forward?
