The time has finally arrived. Twelve regular season games, and the conference championship games, have all led up to this point. After all of the questions, debate, anger and anxiety; the first round of the College Football Playoff begins Friday!

Also, Godfrey discusses the Group of Five teams deserving a spot in the Playoff and Ross looks at the fourteen coaches who will be coaching in the Playoff despite having accepted a different coaching job for next season. Then, Ross talks about a story he wrote last year that is coming back to light. The current CFP agreement states that in the 2026 season, the Power 4 conference champions will be guaranteed a spot in the field. It also states that a Top-12 ranked Notre Dame would automatically get a bid. This overlooked and forgotten caveat has become the topic of much debate. The crew discusses its impact and what may come of this agreement if the Playoff is expanded to 16 teams. They also dive into the NFL's impact on the CFP and why some of the premiere college games this weekend are not in the premiere time slots. Later, it's time for I've Got A Feeling .

The transfer portal does not open until January 2nd, but you would not have known that by looking at the news coming from the college football world on Monday. Athletes continue to announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal, and some top quarterbacks will be on the move in a couple of weeks. Florida's DJ Lagway, Nebraska's Dylan Raiola and Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby all announced they will be playing for a different school next season. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss who the top available quarterback is and where some of these guys might land. They also discuss NIL's impact on all of this. A common thought is that players are transferring for more money, but are some quarterbacks transferring because they are being forced out of their current NIL contracts? Then, the guys chat about a judge granting Jeremy Pruitt a preliminary injunction against the NCAA. This blocks the six-year show-cause order against Pruitt and moves him one step closer to returning to the sidelines. Jesse Minter also has a show-cause from his time at Michigan, and Pruitt's ruling makes the crew wonder if his show-cause order could get overturned should Michigan look to hire him as their next head coach. In the latest news from the Michigan coaching search, Kalen DeBoer has now said multiple times that he is not leaving Alabama. Although part of the crew is not convinced, the guys discuss who else the Wolverines may look to. Later, Godfrey finally makes his case to save the bowls. The bowl season is a time that used to be cherished by many, but the creation of the College Football Playoff, among other issues, has caused a decline in anticipation and excitement for bowl games. Steven Godfrey turns the bowl season on its head and makes his pitch for how the bowls could be revitalized. Stay caught up on all things college football with College Football Enquirer.

The Indiana Hoosiers have their first Heisman trophy winner. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza won the 91st Heisman trophy on Saturday night. He beat out fellow finalists Diego Pavia, Jeremiyah Love and Julian Sayin by a wide margin. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss Mendoza's win and share their thoughts on the quarterback's stellar season. Plus, Andy and Ross share who they voted for. The guys also discuss how the conversation around Mendoza immediately turned to if he will succeed in the NFL. They dive into the NFL's quarterback obsession and where they go wrong when evaluating college quarterbacks. The Heisman ceremony was not the only big event that happened on Saturday. The 126th edition of the Army-Navy game saw Navy take the win for the second straight year. The Midshipmen defeated the Black Knights 17-16 on a late game touchdown pass from Blake Horvath to Eli Heidenreich. Ross was in attendance and shares his experience at the game after the guys share their thoughts on the game. Then, the crew discusses the Big 12's latest news. Last week, Ross shared Utah's news about their private equity deal and the guys said this would open the floodgates. Well, that may be proving to be correct as the Big 12 announced they are close to a private capital deal. Ross shares the story he broke and the crew discusses what the impact of this potential deal could be. Godfrey cautions the risk level of this move. Later, we stay in the Big 12 for some more news. Utah announced that head coach Kyle Whittingham is stepping down. Utah's appearance in the upcoming Las Vegas bowl will be his last game as the leader of the Utes. Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley has long been Whittingham's heir apparent and will be Utah's new head coach. The guys discuss the timing of this move, if this move will work for Utah and Scalley and if this means that we may see Whittingham coaching elsewhere in the future.

Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday. He was fired with cause for having an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member." The story broke with this news, but continued to evolve and a few hours later it was reported that Moore had been detained by police. Details will continue to come out as more is learned about this situation. Until then, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey will just look at the football impact of Moore's firing with the big question: Who will be Michigan's next head coach? Signing Day has passed, so Michigan does not need to rush the process of finding their guy. The Transfer Portal opens January 2nd, and it would make sense to want to have a coach in place by that date. Kalen DeBoer is a name that is being rumored, but it is not known if he has any interest. Kenny Dillingham is another name the crew suggests as a good fit. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss who may be a good fit for the Wolverines going forward. Then, we get some more news from Ross in Vegas. It appears there is momentum to move the playoff to a 16-team model. Most of the conferences are on board, but the Big Ten is still not fully sold. The guys talk about the potential of moving to a 16-team playoff and what that format would look like. The other big piece of news is there seems to be a groundswell of support to get rid of the weekly College Football Playoff Rankings Show. How would ESPN handle the elimination of this show? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss how realistic this idea is. Later, it is a big weekend in college football. The biggest individual award in the sport will be given out on Saturday. Indiana's quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, is the betting favorite to win the Heisman, but the guys think that Vanderbilt's quarterback, Diego Pavia, might make a push to win the award. Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love are the other two finalists for the prestigious award. Will Indiana or Vanderbilt have its first Heisman trophy winner? Plus, the guys make their I've Got A Feeling picks. They discuss the Army/Navy game, an FCS playoff game, and one of the first bowl games of the season.

We are a couple of days removed from Sunday's College Football Playoff selection, but the drama continues to unfold. Notre Dame is at the center of the conversation as they continue to discuss being left out of the CFP. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua was on the Dan Patrick show on Monday and said the ACC's handling of the Playoff situation has done "permanent damage to the relationship." Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this shaky relationship between Notre Dame and the ACC. They also debate whether the time is coming for Notre Dame to separate itself from the ACC and make a new scheduling deal with either the Big Ten or the SEC. Plus, they chat about the rule that will go into effect next season which gives Notre Dame an automatic CFP berth if they are ranked in the Top 12. Could that rule could potentially be voided? Then, the guys look to the coaching carousel, which has drastically slowed down. Penn State has finally named their new head coach.

Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this hire, why they like it, and what Campbell needs to do to succeed in Happy Valley. Later, Ross discusses the groundbreaking news he broke while recording the pod.

The time has come! The College Football Playoff bracket is set and it came with plenty of drama surrounding the reveal. After a championship Saturday consisting of a now 8-5 Duke team becoming ACC champions and #9 Alabama being dominated by #3 Georgia, the question was raised of who would get the final at-large spots in the Playoff? Would Miami finally be ranked ahead of Notre Dame? Could both teams get in and Alabama fall out? Would the ACC have no representative at all? We now have our answers.

Later, Ross Dellenger rejoins the show and shares his conversation with Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua.

Conference championship weekend is here! Spots in the College Football Playoff are on the line, and not just for teams in Power Four conferences. Could we see two Group of Five teams in this year?

Lastly, they look at the ACC Championship Game and its impact on the CFP. Duke takes on #17 Virginia. Virginia will make the CFP if they win, but Duke coach Manny Diaz thinks that a 7-5 ACC champion Duke team would also make the field.

Finally, Andy, Ross and Godfrey give their picks for this week's I've Got A Feeling . Their records have not been great this year, but maybe that will change this week.

Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if any of these SEC teams would have a chance at making the playoff with three losses. They also take a look at another big matchup as #9 Notre Dame visits #22 Pittsburgh. Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said this week that the game against Notre Dame doesn't matter because they are not in the ACC. The guys discuss what they think of these comments and if it sends the wrong message. Also, is the CFP killing conference championship games? Then, the guys chat about some news off of the field down in Louisiana. The drama continues as Brian Kelly is now suing LSU over his buyout.

The second College Football Playoff ranking releases tonight. How dramatic will a shift in the rankings be? There is sure to be some near the bottom of the Top 10 after #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU, but how about the top? After #3 Texas A&M's convincing win at #22 Missouri and #2 Indiana's struggle at Penn State, will the committee jump the Aggies over the Hoosiers? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss how they think the rankings will play out going forward. Plus, what impact could #16 Vanderbilt have on the rankings this season? What has to fall their way in order to make it into this year's CFP, and how can they make sure they can keep their coach after such success this season? Then, the guys take a look at a new tactic for the coaching carousel: Don't get involved. This is the tactic Wisconsin is taking as they announced that head coach Luke Fickell will remain at the helm next season. The immediate result was an upset of #23 Washington. The guys discuss this decision for Wisconsin and their vow to put more funds into the football program. Will this be enough to boost the future of the team and turn the program towards a winning path? What took them so long to get to this point? The guys also talk about why some schools were able to adapt quickly and other schools struggled to respond to NIL. Hint: Some were prepared, some weren't prepared and some were already well versed in the art of paying players. Later, the drama in the Big Ten continues to heat up amongst discussions about private equity. Board members of various schools are speaking out about their lack of involvement with this decision and their opposition to it being voted through. The American Council of Trustees & Alumni, ACTA, is also now involved. A vote seems to still be upcoming, with the current expectation being that only Michigan and USC's presidents are against the decision. How will this all play out?

Week 11 has wrapped up and it provided some thrilling finishes for a couple of Top 10 teams. Penn State brought #2 Indiana down to the wire. The undefeated Hoosiers may have suffered their first loss if not for a heroic final drive from Fernando Mendoza. The drive culminated in an unbelievable catch by Omar Cooper Jr., who barely kept his foot in, to score the eventual game winning touchdown with 36 seconds left. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if such a close game to a struggling Penn State team should create any room for concern with this Indiana team. Then they dive into the other matchup that came down to the final seconds. This one was a Top 20 matchup in the pouring rain between #9 Oregon and #20 Iowa. The home-team Hawkeyes took the lead late. That set the stage for an impressive final drive by Dante Moore and Oregon to kick a game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. The guys discuss how they feel about Oregon coming off of this win. They also discuss #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU. How do they feel about the Red Raiders going forward? Plus, is there a legitimate chance the ACC could end up with no teams in the College Football Playoff? Later, Ross reports big news coming out of the Big Ten as their discussion about private equity appears to be nearing a decision. Michigan and USC remain steadfast in their opposition to any deal, but a vote is scheduled for November 21st. If Michigan or USC decide not to sign, the rest of the schools in the Big Ten will move along on the deal without them. What could this mean for the future of not only Michigan, but the entirety of the college football landscape? The guys discuss how this could all potentially play out. Then, they look to Week 12. The final few weeks of the regular season are inching closer, which means each game begins to add a little more pressure. The guys look at games that have huge impacts on both conference and playoff races. #11 Texas visits #5 Georgia, #12 Oklahoma plays #4 Alabama and #10 Notre Dame faces off with #24 Pittsburgh. How could we see the playoff race change after Week 12? The guys discuss all of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.

Week 11 is here and the marquee matchups of the weekend may not be what you expected when the season started. #9 Oregon heads to Iowa City to face #20 Iowa. When Iowa is at home they tend to make life very difficult for the opposing team. The Ducks have seen some struggles since their loss to #2 Indiana and Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey aren't so sure they can come away from Iowa with a win. Iowa's struggles in the past have been on the offensive side, but this year the Hawkeyes have a much improved offensive attack. Are the Ducks on upset alert, or will this be another notch in their belt as they look to make another CFP appearance. Then, we get an update from Ross' Congressional Minute as he shares the most recent news about the SAFE and Score Acts and explains where this process is trending. Could a resolution be coming sooner than expected? Cody Campbell is a huge player in these discussions. He is also a huge player in the funding of Texas Tech's NIL. #8 Texas Tech hosts #7 BYU on Saturday with the winner taking the lead in the race to the Big 12 Championship Game. Texas Tech has already stumbled once and may not be able to afford another misstep. BYU has looked like the dominant force in the Big 12 this season, but this will be their toughest test yet. Add this pressure on top of the pressure to succeed for the Red Raiders after a highly publicized offseason of NIL spending. The guys discuss this matchup and its impact. Plus, they also chat about the continued messy situation in Baton Rouge with LSU kind of naming a new AD. Later, the guys share their picks for I've Got A Feeling . Iowa, Clemson and Tulane are who the crew is feeling confident in this week. Get ready for Week 11 with College Football Enquirer. (1:00) - Can #20 Iowa upset #9 Oregon?

It is that time of year again! The time when attention shifts away from the AP Poll and moves over to the College Football Playoff rankings. Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee released the initial rankings for 2025. Ohio State remained at the top followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Alabama to round out the top four. One of the most notable rankings was that of two teams who played earlier in the year. Miami, who has been struggling as of recently, came in at 18. That fell well behind a team they beat in Notre Dame who is sitting at 10. Also, the Big 12 appears to be in position to get two teams into the playoff, while the ACC looks like it will be a one-team league. Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey and Ross Dellenger discuss all of the drama and voice their thoughts on all of the attention surrounding this first rendition of the rankings. Plus, the guys take a look at what the bracket would look like if the playoff started today! Later, the guys discuss the top team in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes. Such a dominant season has not created much drama to talk about for this team, however Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at just how dominant they have been. Is this success due to a lackluster schedule, or is this team on a path to another national title? On the flip side, could the lack of competition hinder Ohio State in the long run as they go on to face far more difficult competition in the College Football Playoff? And, what about their hated rivals, the Michigan Wolverines? Is this the year Ohio State can snap the four-game losing streak, or will Michigan prevail once again? Then, the guys take a look at a team who had similar expectations as Ohio State in the preseason, but their season has gone far differently. The Clemson Tigers. Dabo Swinney’s team has struggled tremendously this season and it appears that Swinney’s method of coaching may not be holding up in the new era of college football. Is this the beginning of the end for Swinney at Clemson? Should Dabo move on from coaching or just move on from Clemson? Are there similarities between his situation and Nick Saban’s before Saban retired? All of this and more on today’s College Football Enquirer.

Week 8 is here, and with just over half of the season gone, there is already a matchup with playoff implications on the line. #13 Notre Dame plays host to #20 USC for another chapter of this storied rivalry. With Notre Dame already having two losses, a third loss would all but eliminate them from playoff contention. USC has a tough stretch of Big Ten games to end the season, so a loss to Notre Dame would make their playoff chances even less-likely. Ross Dellenger returns to join Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey to discuss this matchup and who they think will come out victorious. Later, there are multiple Top 25 matchups in the SEC on Saturday.

Happy Valley is not so happy as of late. Preseason expectations of a deep CFP seem to be of a distant past after the firing of James Franklin on Sunday. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey dive into how Penn State fell so fast and what led to the firing of a head coach whose team was ranked #3 just three weeks ago. Then the guys look at who Penn State should look to hire to be their new head coach. Should they try to poach big names like Alabama's Kalen DeBoer or Nebraska's Matt Rhule, or should they look at one of the hot new names like Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein or Syracuse head coach Fran Brown? The guys discuss what options are on the table. Later, there are more hurdles to now jump over for the Big Ten's attempt to get a private equity deal done. In Ross Dellenger's latest article, he explains why USC is now against signing a private equity deal. Ross is out today, but Andy and Godfrey break down what all is going on and if the Big Ten will, or even should, ever get a private equity deal done. Finally, the guys discuss a few notable topics from what we've been seeing on the field. First, they dive into the massive success, thus far, of Texas Tech. After an expensive offseason, it seems that all of the NIL investment is paying off. The Red Raiders are ranked seventh in the country and are currently undefeated going into Week 8. Andy and Godfrey discuss if they will face any hurdles in the Big 12, or if Texas Tech is going to run away with the conference. Then, they keep up the CFP talk but shift to a conference that will be fighting for a bid. The American Conference has been impressive this year, and the guys are convinced the winner of this conference will head to the CFP, but the question is who will that be? Four teams sit at the top with undefeated conference records currently. Navy, #22 Memphis, #19 USF and Tulane. Who will come away with the title and probably a CFP berth?

The college football season is about halfway over and there are a lot of teams' seasons that are sitting in the middle of catastrophe and staying in the College Football Playoff hunt. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss which of these teams may survive and who may be looking for a new coach at the end of the year. Does the losing coach of LSU and South Carolina have to be concerned for his job after so much preseason hype? Is the loser of Texas and Oklahoma eliminated them from CFP contention, or would Oklahoma be able to survive a loss? Will Hugh Freeze be out with a loss to Georgia? Later, a major controversy was the talk of the sports media world yesterday and today the guys discuss. The controversy surrounded Paul Finebaum's absence on ESPN after his interview with Clay Travis, where Finebaum spoke about potential interest in running for Republican Senate in Alabama. Monday, Travis claimed Finebaum was banned from the ESPN main network after not seeing Finebaum on any of the usual shows he is on over the last week. ESPN denied any truth to this and then speculation began. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss what all seems to be happening and if there appears to be any truth or if this all may be designed to drum up controversy. *Disclaimer: This conversation was recorded before any confirmation of Finebaum appearing on ESPN on Tuesday morning. Finally, in the new world of NIL and college football, some teams and conferences were bound to fall behind. Steven Godfrey discusses the difficulties the Group of Five teams are having in this new world.

Arch Manning continued to struggle as he threw two interceptions on the way to a 29-21 Florida win. With so much hype entering the season, how can Arch turn his season around, or is it time to bench Arch Manning? Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this and if there is a path for Texas to still make it to the CFP? Lastly, the guys discuss the other big matchup of the day that saw #10 Alabama avenge last season's upset and beat #16 Vanderbilt. Ty Simpson impressed with over 300 yards passing as Alabama continues to look like a much different team than the one the country saw in the first week of the season when they lost to Florida State.

On Sunday, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talked about how they expected Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman to be fired in the near future. By the time the episode was released, Arkansas had indeed fired Pittman, who was in his 6th season. Former Arkansas head coach, and current offensive coordinator, Bobby Petrino, has been named interim head coach and he made it clear that he is interested in removing that interim title. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss why this may be a more desirable job than it appears and who might be a fit for the new era of Arkansas football. They also debate if Petrino has a chance at becoming the full-time head coach and how Arkansas can have a program turnaround similar to the one Ole Miss is having right now. Later, we get Ross' Congressional Minute as he explains the new SAFE Act that is being introduced into the Senate. This is a similar act to the already introduced SCORE Act, but there are some key differences. Ross explains the differences between the acts and what they mean for the future of college athletics. The guys discuss which is a better act and where the discussions in Congress will go from here. Lastly, the Week 5 slate in college football was jam-packed with marquee matchups.

They walked out with a win after taking down #3 Penn State in a double overtime game.

Although many people may blame James Franklin for the loss, Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey talk about how this is not the game bash James Franklin for.

It has been a busy Week 5 in college football and there haven't even been any games played yet. Tuesday was a drama filled day in the state of Oklahoma. It was announced that three games into his 21st season, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was fired. The Oklahoma State legend had taken the school to unprecedented heights, but in recent years there was more struggle than triumph. Losing 11 of his last 12 games, and starting the year with a 1-2 record, that included a 69-3 loss to Oregon and a loss to Tulsa, appeared to be the final straw. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey react to the firing and discuss where it all started to go wrong for Gundy in recent years. Plus, some other news that came out on Tuesday was that Oklahoma's starting quarterback, John Mateer, broke his hand in Oklahoma's victory over Auburn and needed surgery. He is presumed to be out about a month, but no official timeline has been released. The guys discuss if Oklahoma can survive without Mateer, especially heading into the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 11. Can they still make the playoffs with a few losses if they look good when Mateer returns? Later, Ross gives us his report from the commissioners' meetings this week. Ross was on-site for the meetings where the College Football Playoff formats of the future were discussed. How soon may we get a new format or will we get one at all?

Plus, Ross gives us an update on the SCORE Act in his Congressional Minute. Finally, the guys discuss games.

The game everyone has been talking about involves two schools that have not been thought of as powers in the conference, but they may have something to say about that this year. 9th-ranked Illinois visits 19th-ranked Indiana in the first big test of the season for both schools. Steven Godfrey explains why he thinks this game is so important for the Big Ten. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger join in on previewing the game. Another notable Big Ten matchup this week involves 21st-ranked Michigan visiting undefeated Nebraska.

Can these coaches turn it around and cool off the hot seat like some other coaches have done this year? Later in the show, the guys chat about a new trend in college football for how to revamp a struggling offense. The new philosophy is to bring over another school's offensive coordinator and his quarterback. Two successful examples of this, so far this season, are Oklahoma's OC Ben Arbuckle and QB John Mateer and Utah's OC Jason Beck and QB Devon Dampier. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss why this new trend is proving to be successful and if they think this will grow to be the norm.

After a close loss to Miami to start the season and a bye in Week 2, the Fighting Irish have a lot to prove to backup the preseason hype.

The college football season is going into its last week of non-conference games for most teams. Many fans may be looking forward to the excitement a conference schedule brings, but the final week of non-con games is still creating plenty to look forward to. One of those games is #18 South Florida visiting #5 Miami. The new darlings of college football have taken the college football world by storm. They began the season taking down previously ranked Boise State, and then last weekend they upset then 13th-ranked Florida in 'The Swamp.' What is it about coach Alex Golesh's team that is leading to this success, and can they keep it going against yet another highly-ranked opponent? These are some of the questions Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey answer. Plus, is there really a path that both USF and Tulane could make the playoff? One of the guys believes so and gives you the exact scenario it could happen. Also in the show, the guys discuss another big matchup of the weekend. This one is a conference matchup as Florida visits #3 LSU. Florida's Billy Napier has set himself directly back on the hot seat after last weekend's upset, but the coach that will be across the field this weekend has come to his defense. LSU's Brian Kelly spoke to the media this week and praised Billy Napier. The guys discuss why Kelly decided to make this move. They also talk about the history of these two teams facing each other and what they see from this matchup. Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven talk about the Big 12 suspending one of their officiating crews after making some egregious mistakes in the Kansas vs. Missouri game last weekend. What do they think about public accountability for refs and the punishment that was handed down? Is this something we could see other conferences do more of to create more transparency? The guys discuss what exactly happened in this situation and how they feel about how the Big 12 handled the situation. Just a few more days until it's game day again. Until then, join us on the College Football Enquirer.

#15 Michigan travels to Norman, Oklahoma to visit #18 Oklahoma for the only top 25 matchup of the weekend. Michigan's quarterback, Bryce Underwood, made headlines in the offseason when he signed a massive NIL deal to flip his commitment from LSU to Michigan. The multi-year deal was reported to be between $10 - 12 million and left a large impact on the college football landscape. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey explain the impact this deal had on college football and what effects we are seeing because of it. They also discuss how this deal came to be and compare Michigan to Oklahoma ahead of their matchup. Plus, they chat about the Big 12 taking a different stance than the Big Ten and announcing that they are welcoming Dave Portnoy with open arms to their stadiums and campuses. Later, a different take on NIL is discussed. Since its inception, NIL has been a huge talking point across collegiate athletics. The media has offered up pros and cons, but much of the conversation has been about the negative impacts of NIL. Ross Dellenger wrote a story exploring the other side of that. He talks about his story on Duke quarterback Darian Mensah. The transfer from Tulane, who grew up with little money in a single-parent household, has changed his family's life after signing an NIL deal this offseason for a reported four million dollars per year. The guys discuss Ross' story and dive into the positive impact NIL can have for student-athletes and their families. Mensah and Duke prepare to host #11 Illinois this weekend. Finally, the guys preview what games they are looking forward to this weekend. After going 0-for-3 with their picks last week, the guys hope to do better as they make their picks for the weekend. Arkansas St., Kansas and Fresno St. are the focus of the pick 'em segment. Then Andy, Ross and Steven look at some other Week 2 matchups that have caught their eyes. Get ready for Week 2 on today's College Football Enquirer. (1:55) - Bryce Underwood's NIL impact & previewing #15 Michigan @ #18 Oklahoma (21:59) - Big 12 welcomes Dave Portnoy (28:25) - Darian Mensah's journey to the spotlight (44:08) - Weekend picks (53:51) - Other notable games Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Bill Belichick has officially debuted in college football! The legendary NFL head coach is lauded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, NFL head coaches of all-time. The entire off-season, all of the drama and the pomp and circumstance led up to Monday night. The stars came out, the stadium was packed and the North Carolina Tar Heels drove right down the field and scored on their first drive of the game. It all went down hill not too long after that, culminating in a deflating 48-14 loss to TCU. The Belichick Era did not get off to the start he, and many others, had hoped for. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what went wrong, what surprised them about North Carolina and TCU, what they think TCU can accomplish this season and if they think North Carolina can turn it around this year. Later, the guys chat about Sunday night's electric matchup in Miami that saw the newly ranked fifth team in the country, Miami, take down the now ranked ninth team, Notre Dame. Is 'The U' back? Andy, Ross and Steven discuss this exact topic as they look at the Hurricanes' Sunday night performance and peek at what lies ahead for the team. They also give their thoughts on the Fighting Irish and what their season outlook is. Plus, they dive into Auburn's 38-24 win on Friday and talk about what that win did for Hugh Freeze. Finally, the latest AP Top 25 poll is out! Ross released his Top 10 on Monday and the latest AP poll came out today. Both rankings have the college football world fired up as fanbases clamor to explain why their team should be ranked higher. The guys discuss the rankings and explain why rankings this early are really just something to talk about.

The first full Saturday of college football is in the books! A few games are left on the Week 1 slate, but plenty of drama has already been provided. Saturday saw a huge clash of titans, in Columbus, Ohio, as #3 Ohio State hosted #1 Texas. Two first-year starting quarterbacks were at the helms of both offenses, and it showed as defense owned the day. The low-scoring affair concluded with Ohio State's defense coming out on top as the Buckeyes took down the Longhorns 14-7. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey breakdown the game. Has Arch Manning been overhyped, or is the heavy criticism coming a little too soon? Does Ohio State look poised to make a run at repeating as national champions? Plus, Saturday's College Gameday at the Texas vs. Ohio State game was Lee Corso's final show. He went out a winner on his 431st headgear pick, ending the same way he started, by picking the Buckeyes. He then watched the game from the press box and Ross tells a behind the scenes story of Lee Corso joining him up in the press box to watch the game. Later, the guys chat about some more Saturday drama. The biggest shock of the day was #8 Alabama being upset by unranked Florida State. An upset that only Lee Corso saw coming. The Kalen DeBoer era has had some slip-ups that were rarely seen by his predecessor and it has people wondering how much longer he may last in Tuscaloosa. The guys share their thoughts on Coach DeBoer's situation in Alabama and what Florida State did to be successful. Are the Seminoles a team to be reckoned with this season? Plus they dive into one more game as they recap #9 LSU defeating #4 Clemson. What did they see from both teams that are encouraging signs for the rest of the season? Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at how they did on their picks from Thursday. Despite how those picks may have gone, they decide to make one more pick as they preview Sunday night's game of #6 Notre Dame visiting #10 Miami. What questions do they need answered to believe 'The U' is back? Do they trust the Irish with a new quarterback running the show? They answer all of these and more.

Week 1 has arrived! We get five straight days of college football to get started! What a wonderful time of year. Along with the excitement comes a lot of expectations from anxious fans waiting to see how the year plays out for their favorite teams. Someone with possibly the greatest amount of expectations is none other than Texas quarterback Arch Manning. The nephew of legendary NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning stepped foot onto campus two years ago with a mound of expectations. After two years of waiting, and short glimpses of what the future could hold, Manning will lead the top-ranked Longhorns into 'The Shoe' to face the defending national champions, third-ranked Ohio State. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss everything that led up to this moment for Manning and what they expect from him this season. Later, the guys discuss another era that begins to the east of Austin, in North Carolina. Chapel Hill to be specific. Legendary NFL head coach Bill Belichick begins his collegiate coaching career with the Tar Heels. Ross went to Chapel Hill during the offseason and spoke with Coach Belichick. Ross shares his insight from the conversation about the impact Coach is already having on his team and the university as a whole. Then they keep the discussion among the coaching ranks, but they move back west, as they dive into expectations for Deion Sanders in year three at Colorado. They discuss the misconceptions that Coach Sanders wasn't bought in at Colorado and how people should no longer question that. They also discuss what is different about this year's Colorado squad after losing Shedeur and Travis. As the show comes to a close, the guys chat about what coaches are on the hot seat heading into the season. They look to the SEC. More specifically, they look at Oklahoma's Brent Venables, Florida's Billy Napier and Auburn's Hugh Freeze. What do they have to do to keep their tenure going at their respective schools?

It was reported Tuesday night that Ohio State banned Dave Portnoy from their stadium. The Barstool Sports owner is joining Fox's pregame show "Big Noon Kickoff" this season; a show that ends inside the stadium of the game it is previewing, before kickoff. It was assumed, by the public, that Portnoy would be among the pregame crew in the stadium each week. The show for Week 1 is at Ohio State, which would create an issue if part of the pregame crew could not end the show in the stadium. It now appears the report of this ban from Ohio State may not be completely accurate. As our own Ross Dellenger reports, Portnoy not being allowed in the stadium is due to more than just Ohio State having a problem with Portnoy. Ross, Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey explain what is really going on behind the scenes. Later in the show, the SEC recently announced it will shift its conference schedule to nine games starting in 2026. Among these nine games will be three "annual" games for each school. Andy, Ross and Steven discuss how the conference goes about determining what these "annual" games are, how this will affect the schools and how this shift may affect the SEC. Finally, we are just a few days away from the start of Week 1 of the college football season! A week that will see a lot of intriguing matchups, including Baylor visiting Auburn on Friday night. Ross recently sat down with Baylor head coach Dave Aranda to discuss the upcoming season. Aranda spoke about what is different with Baylor this year and the changes Baylor has made in NIL. From not playing ball in the NIL space to jumping in with the rest of the country, this switch could prove to make a huge difference in Waco. We are counting the hours until Week 1 kicks-off. Until then, join us on College Football Enquirer.

We made it! Football is here! Week 0 may only be a small sample size, but if you ask Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey, they don't care because we finally get to watch games. Even with Week 0 being only a few games, we are already getting a Top 25 matchup in Ireland. "Farmageddon" goes to Europe for this Big 12 rivalry as 22nd ranked Iowa State takes on 17th ranked Kansas State. Andy, Ross and Steven talk about the keys to this game and the impact this may have on a wide open Big 12. Plus, they dive into what to expect out of the Big 12 conference and how we could see Week 0 evolve into a much larger slate of games in the future. Could Week 0 become the new Week 1? Later in the show, Ross goes in-depth on his conversation with West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez. He chronicles the journey of the former West Virginia hero turned pariah being welcomed home! The guys discuss Rich Rod's stops along the way and how it always felt like West Virginia was where he wanted to get back to. The two-time Big East Coach of the Year led the Mountaineers to four Big East titles, but the football landscape is much different this time around. What are the expectations from the Mountaineer faithful? What is considered success and what are the realistic expectations in this new age of college football? Finally, bold season predictions must be made before games are played, otherwise the predictions become far less bold. That is exactly what the guys do to wrap up the show as the guys predict an underdog SEC team who may surprise some people, a guess at who will make the CFP and a prediction of who will win it all! The final College Football Enquirer before the season kicks off. Let's go!

On Thursday’s episode, we made our predictions for Michigan’s impending sanctions coming out of the Conor Stallions saga. On Friday, the verdict came in. Ross Dellenger may now also be called Nostradamus because he was spot on with his predictions. Over $30-million in fines and a three-game suspension for head coach Sherrone Moore were the main highlights from the ruling. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join Ross in recapping the reaction to the ruling and discussing where Michigan goes from here. Expanding the College Football Playoff has been a talking point since the format’s inception. It has grown from four to twelve teams, but that does not seem to be enough to some in college football. While sixteen seems to be a natural progression, a much larger number was suggested recently. Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti threw out the idea of a 28-team playoff and sent the college football world into an uproar. Was this suggestion just a ruse for a more preferable plan? Why was this the only playoff idea that was reported on? How realistic is a 28-team playoff? The guys answer all of these questions and more as they look toward the future of the College Football Playoff. Later in the show, they discuss Virginia Tech’s athletic director, Whit Babcock, and his presentation to the university’s Board explaining where college football is headed and his pressing need for more funding. What might a super league look like in the college football landscape and how close are we to its arrival? Is the constant desire for change and money ruining the sport for the fans? Andy, Ross and Steven explain the crossroads college football is at after Babcock’s comments. Finally, there was a recent change in the FPI over the weekend. A change that came without any games being played and not much notable news that affects the product on the field. Some SEC teams were bumped up and some ACC teams were knocked down. This appears to be all the motivation needed for SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee to call the system out for being “rigged.” The guys discuss coach Lashlee’s comments and give their own thoughts on the importance of the FPI. Plus, the guys end the show with some breaking news about Auburn and the four new national football titles they picked up somewhat arbitrarily on Tuesday morning! (0:57) - Reaction to Michigan's sanctions (10:17) - Will a 28-team playoff actually happen?

Six of the top eight teams in the first AP poll have a first-year starter at quarterback. However, the experienced quarterbacks are lurking on teams just outside of the top eight. What might this mean as the season begins to unfold? Will experience win out or can guys like Arch Manning and Dante Moore overcome their lack of on-field experience? College Football Enquirer's Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey debate if they have more faith in experience or the first-year guys. Plus, not all of these teams' quarterback races are decided. What have the guys heard coming out of Ohio State and Notre Dame about who their signal callers will be this year? Later in the show, the guys discuss the NCAA's announcement that Friday will be when they issue the punishments against Michigan football for their sign stealing scandal. A two-year process will finally come to a close. Ross gives a behind-the-scenes look at what the process to come to this decision has been like and what kind of penalties the NCAA can actually inflict on the school. Andy, Steven and Ross give their predictions on what they think the result may end up being. They end the show with a discussion about the Big 12 ADs' vote to solidify an existing policy related to throwing items onto the field. After the first two violations in a game, teams receive a 15-yard penalty. Ross shares his report about this decision and the guys discuss how this is directly connected to Texas Tech's tradition of tortilla throwing. How serious is this matter and what items should other Big 12 teams be throwing? Week 0 is next week. College football is almost back, and the news continues to fly. Come hear about all of it on today's College Football Enquirer! (6:06) - Can a first-year starter win it all?

We are back! After a bit of a break, your favorite college football podcast has returned! Some new voices have joined the show with the departures of Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join Ross Dellenger for College Football Enquirer's newest version! There was quite a bit of news that happened while we were away, so it's time to catch up. Schools can pay athletes directly now. Revenue sharing has arrived! This has already caused an immediate shift in the college football landscape and schools are taking full advantage. One team who is capitalizing on that is Vanderbilt. Huge hype and ticket prices have followed. How has this change affected the college landscape? Has it changed for the better? These questions and more are what Andy, Ross and Steven answer. As athletes continue to get paid, guardrails around how they can be paid continue to be developed. Enter the College Sports Commission. This commission is supposed to make sure there is fairness across the board in how athletes are being paid. How exactly they are doing that is a bit more complicated. Luckily, Ross can break it all down. Another huge change on the horizon has to do with the transfer portal. This topic has been discussed at length. Should there only be one portal window rather than two? When should that be? Change is coming and while there is some disagreement among conferences for when the portal window should open, a shift appears imminent. The guys explain what the change may look like, and they give their takes on when the portal should open. We are just a few weeks away from the start of the season, so naturally we have to talk about what coaches are hoping to still have a job by the end of the season. While some coaches' buyouts are too big for them to have any concern this year, others do not have that luxury. Texas Tech's Joey McGuire and Oklahoma's Brent Venables are two coaches that look to be in win now situations. The guys discuss the coaches' futures with their respective programs. They also dive into how the new college landscape of paying players may have led to some coaches' jobs being saved. Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven take a look at some upset ready matchups in the Week 1 slate. Are Boise St., Mississippi St. and Kentucky on upset watch? The guys chat about what they are looking at in those Week 1 games. A jam-packed episode of College Football Enquirer begins now. Welcome back!

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde break down Bill Belichick’s first spring practice as head coach of UNC Football this week. While many college football practices around the country are loud and energetic, Pat reports that Belichick’s practice was a quiet, NFL-like, professional atmosphere, likely indicative of the type of program he hopes to build in Chapel Hill. But can Bill really take a mid-level program and make them a college football juggernaut? Dan, Ross & Pat also react to the latest NIL-centric congressional hearing from earlier this week. Little progress was made, and a bill has yet to be introduced, but time is of the essence for college administrators who are desperate to gain control of the ever-changing NIL & revenging sharing landscape. The three also recap the record-breaking 23-run inning from George Mason baseball as they hosted Holy Cross and dive into a Texas lottery scandal in the People’s Court.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde react to reports that the ACC is nearing a settlement with Clemson & Florida State. Would a change to the conference’s revenue distribution satisfy the conference’s most restless football teams? With a new setup for revenue distribution based on TV viewership, could the ACC compel the Tigers & Seminoles to stay in the conference long-term? And will other Power conferences look to the ACC’s example and base their own revenue sharing on TV performance as well? The trio also debate which college football stadium would be the best location for a ‘lockup’ TV show. It’s definitely not BYU, but could Florida, LSU or West Virginia be top contenders?

700 episodes of College Football Enquirer later, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde are somehow STILL talking about the College Football Playoff format. Ross returns from Dallas, Texas with the latest news from the CFP Management Committee on impending changes to both the 2025 & 2026 playoff structure. These two playoffs are separate events but the decisions surrounding them are linked as the Big 12 and ACC try to leverage the power they DO have in the 2025 playoff into greater concessions from the SEC & Big Ten when they take control of the 2026 playoff. From potential changes to the quarterfinal bowl games, to a switch to straight seeding, to additional automatic qualification—Dan, Ross & Pat cover it all. Pat dives into his recent article about a gambling ring that allegedly tampered with obscure men’s basketball games including the likes of Temple, East Carolina, Mississippi Valley State and more. Finally, the People’s Court attempts to answer the oh-so-important question: which SEC team has the most fans currently incarcerated?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde are back with part II of their SEC coaches pressure index for the 2025 college football season. In a conference that loves to say it ‘just means more,’ how much ‘more’ pressure will these coaches face than their peers? Brent Venables could be in big trouble in Oklahoma after finishing last season with a losing record and an overall rough entrance into the SEC. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss had an 11-2 season in 2024 but missed the playoffs, is he still facing pressure to get the Rebels to the playoffs even without Jaxson Dart? Shane Beamer has exceeded expectations at South Carolina, but could be feeling the heat again if the Gamecocks backslide into their losing records of the past.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde present part I of their SEC coaches pressure index for the 2025 college football season. In a conference with the highest of expectations, are there any coaches who aren’t feeling the pressure this upcoming season? Kalen DeBoer must show improvement at Alabama as he continues the impossible task of living up to Nick Saban’s success. How much longer will Auburn wait on Hugh Freeze to deliver wins? Brian Kelly has done well at LSU, but you might not know it from asking the Tiger fanbase. The trio reveal their pressure index for half of the SEC, with the rest to follow early next week. Dan, Ross & Pat also speculate about the potential outcomes of the joint Big Ten-SEC meeting today in New Orleans and revisit a hot People’s Court topic: is a boneless chicken wing really a wing at all?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde look ahead to this week's meeting between the SEC & Big Ten conferences which may change college football as we know it. After only one season of the 12-team College Football Playoff, the SEC & Big Ten conferences have already determined it’s time for a change. The conferences are likely to propose a 14 or even 16-team playoff next week that would grant four automatic qualifiers each to the SEC and Big Ten; two each to the ACC and Big 12; and one to the highest-ranked Group of Five champion. Dan, Ross & Pat take a deep dive into all the ways this proposal could alter the college football landscape including the devaluation of conference championship games, non-conference games becoming all but irrelevant, and scheduling disparities that would alienate many conferences.

On this episode of The College Football Enquirer , Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde break down the Department of Education’s reversal of the decision to include revenue sharing as part of Title IX. How can the system be made more fair without crippling the budgets of collegiate athletic departments or leaving Olympic sports in the lurch? The trio also react to the latest Yahoo Sports NFL mock draft that has Travis Hunter going first to the Tennessee Titans, Cam Ward second to the Cleveland Browns and Shedeur Sanders third to the New York Giants. Is it crazy to have Ward before Sanders? Ohio State boasted how many players they returned to the program last season, so why are there only two Buckeye players projected to go in the first round? Speaking of Ohio State, they’re set to hire ex-Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia as their new defensive coordinator. What’s led to the increase of coaches leaving the NFL for college football this season and can Patricia find success at OSU after a rocky run with the Lions? Dan, Ross & Pat also preview the IBOB or 'Iron Bowl of Basketball' happening this weekend between no. 1 ranked Auburn and no. 2 Alabama.

On today's episode of The College Football Enquirer , Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI's Pat Forde take a look back at how Jalen Hurts experiences at Alabama and Oklahoma propelled him to victory in Super Bowl LIX. After being benched in the 2018 National Championship for Tua Tagovailoa, few would have expected him to be named Super Bowl MVP just a handful of years later. However, Hurts rose to the occasion (not unlike a certain QB of legend, Tom Brady) both in college and now in the NFL and led the Philadelphia Eagles in a dominant victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. The trio dive into Texas Tech’s transfer portal strategy, which relies heavily on scouting reports from NFL sources, and earned them the no. 2 ranked transfer portal class. Ross shares the latest NIL news update that the power conferences intend to police revenue sharing themselves rather than rely on the NCAA as they have in the past, but it might be a lose-lose situation. To wrap, Dan, Ross & Pat react to former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel being named as Ohio lieutenant governor and ask a truly important question: does one’s foot need to be behind the line for a half-court shot to count?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast by reacting to the latest comments from Nick Saban on NIL and the future of college sports. Dellenger described what the scene was like at the congressional roundtable discussion that Saban was at and how people reacted to his headline worthy comments. Wetzel and Forde discuss how much the changing landscape of college football actually contributed to Nick Saban's retirement and why what he says on any issue regrading the future of college sports carries so much weight. The trio then discuss what any political action could take place in the near future and if the universities themselves could do more to figure out a working solution for revenue distribution with college athletes. After the break, Dellenger shares an update on the CFP and why a 5+9 format without any automatic byes is the current favorite and could be officially very soon. He also made it clear any format accepted could still be changed in the future by the SEC and Big Ten. The trio then discuss the college basketball head coach that every major program with a vacancy will be keeping an eye on this March: FAU's Dusty May. The three debate what would be a better landing spot: Louisville or Ohio State. Forde also suggests May may be comfortable and stay at FAU despite big time offers.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast by reacting to the kerfuffle between LSU and South Carolina's Women's basketball teams in the SEC tournament over the weekend. Dellenger believes the rivalry could be the best in the sport since Tennessee-UCONN back in the day. Wetzel pleads to the committee for these two teams to be on the same side of the bracket to meet up deep in the tournament. The three then discuss the latest proposed CFP revenue split model that draws a clear line between the top two conferences and the rest of the sport. Wetzel and Forde discuss if the SEC and Big Ten commissioners are ready for the legacy of potentially blowing up college sports as we know it. Dellenger breaks down how this new CFP revenue split could further destabilize the ACC. After the break, the three discuss two gambling related stories in college sports and if either have any merit to them. Wetzel then re-introduces the 'Say Something Nice' segment for March Madness. All three share what they are looking forward to most this time of year. Forde also makes a plea for Indiana State to be an at-large bid in the Men's Tourney.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast by reacting to the news that the Dartmouth Men's Basketball team is unionizing and yet another sign of college athletes eventually becoming employees of the school. It was teased in a pod last week and a full discussion on this topic has finally come: Could we ever see a college football draft that replaces the current chaos of recruitment? The trio weigh the pros and cons of a theoretical college football draft. Dellenger points out that the idea isn't as far fetched as it first sounds, hinting that it's come up in closed board meetings before. Wetzel proposes a high school combine and individual conference drafts. The three agree it's far off from ever happening but the current state of recruiting isn't sustainable for anyone. The three also react to the news that college football will FINALLY have helmet comms, tablets on the sidelines and a two-minute warning. While Wetzel is excited for the needed updates, Dellenger points out this could turn more traditional fans off as college football resembles the NFL even more. The three end the show discussing if they'd watch a Nick Saban-Bill Belichick type 'Manningcast' and share a story about a Kentucky school evacuation from fart smells: 1:28 - Ripple effect of Dartmouth Men's Basketball team unionizing. 9:40 - What if College Football got rid of recruiting? 17:40 - Dan proposes a High School Combine and College Football draft 34:10- Why employment brings it's own challenges for student athletes 40:55 - Pat shares bitter recruiting story with his daughter 42:15 - 'Connor Stallions Memorial Law' - Comms coming to helmets, tablets to sidelines, 2-minute warning added 53:35 - Saban-Belichick football-cast?

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast by dissecting, debating and destroying all aspects of the latest 14-team CFP proposal. Wetzel makes fun of the 3-3-2-2-1 pitch and why the automatic byes for the Big Ten and SEC are the antithesis of American sports. Forde says it's bully ball and manipulation from the top two conferences. Dellenger says the conversations and proposal are here to stay. Wetzel ponders if the two automatic bids for the ACC and Big 12 is actually a win for both of those conferences. The trio debates if the proposal could even be a stabilizer for the conference and be an incentive for Florida State to stay long term. The trio then recap the biggest headlines from the NFL Scouting Combine and why two well-known internet conspiracies became talkers in Indy. Wetzel also shares a story about UNLV's head football coach riding a bull to inspire his team and recruits and wonders if other college coaches will resort to riding wild animals. The three end the pod with a 'People's Court' involving a 45,000 year old worm having babies in Russia and a Big Mac record that makes Ross nauseous. 1:00 - 3-3-2-2-1 and 0 patience from Dan on new 14 team-CFP format pitch 3:00 - The good, bad and ugly of the 14-team playoff proposal 29:15 - Would new 14-team CFP actually stabilize ACC? 40:45 - Scouting Combine recap: Its the Olympics for bros and conspiracy central 52:10 - People's court: 45,000 year old worm has babies + Big Mac Man breaks his own record Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Once Ross returns, the trio debates which QB in this draft process will become the 'lightning rod' prospect of 2024. Wetzel, Dellenger and Forde breakdown each of the top QBs college careers and what skills will translate in the NFL. The three then discuss the future of the Army-Navy game in an expanded CFP world. With a larger playoff starting earlier in December, and potential for even more expansion, 'America's Game' in the future may no longer have their standalone Saturday slot the second weekend of December. Wetzel then shares a bizarre bathroom story from the start of the college baseball season that will have you in the dumps. Wetzel also sounds off on his alma mater's (UMASS) decision to join the MAC.

Feb 26, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast reacting to the latest court ruling in Tennessee that essentially seals the fate for the NCAA and it's inability to put guardrails on NIL. The trio believes there may be no more legal levers to pull for the NCAA to regulate NIL in college sports. Wetzel tries to find a legitimate issue with NIL other than school officials and coaches complaining about it. The trio then debate how out of touch the NCAA is with reality and why there could be potential for the top four football conferences to eventually break away from the organization. Wetzel also makes the case why the NCAA needs a central PR message to show that college sports, is in fact, not falling apart. After the break, Wetzel and the guys applaud the latest comments from NCAA president Charlie Baker on the transfer portal. The crew also brings up Arizona State head football coach Kenny Dillingham's latest comments on why coaching college football is a dream job, not a dystopia, and why more people need to recognize that. The trio then debates potential punishments for court storming and if you can actually stop them. Dellenger also provides an update from an NCAA's infraction committee.

Feb 22, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast analyzing the new approved format for the College Football Playoff, which will have five automatic qualifiers and seven at-large bids. There is already much discomfort from the SEC & Big Ten about the amount of automatic qualifiers, but we finally have an expanded 12-team playoff. The cast breaks down who wins in this scenario & why the top two conferences are already grasping to get more power. Where does that leave Notre Dame though? The private, conference-less university has been in the middle of the spotlight when discussing the new CFP format. In this new design and without a Power Five (or Power Four) conference to call home, if Notre Dame were ever to be a top-4 team to receive an automatic qualifier, they would forego the first-round bye for the fifth seed and take on likely a Group of Five qualifier. Afterwards, the guys debate why proposals for an additional two teams in the playoff is madness, and look back to how we got to this point where a 12-team playoff has been approved, and the CFP is already looking to blow up the bracket for a 14-team version before the first games have even been played. To close out the show, residents in West Virginia are hosting a candlelight vigil for a restaurant. 1:00 - New 12-team CFP format has been approved 15:04 - What happens to Notre Dame in the expanded playoff? 28:34 - New 14-team CFP models are already being pitched 59:20 - The People’s Court: A unique candle light vigil in West Virginia Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde open up the podcast giving their thoughts on the prolonged College Football Playoff media deal discussions. After rumblings that a proposed six-year deal fell through between the CFP and ESPN, the guys address why a new agreement hasn’t come together yet. Ross provides an update on when we could see the next format take shape. Meanwhile, more coaches have begun to speak out about the separation of the Group of Five and Power Five schools. Ross details their thoughts and how the G5 is scrambling to keep their teams together in the NIL era. The podcast debates how the G5 can stay alive through the impending shifts in college football. In football scheduling news, there has been some petitioning from Texas’ camp to play Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night. The crew details the battle for the time slot and if Ole Miss & Mississippi State should move the Egg Bowl for the newcomers to the SEC. During NBA all-star weekend, commissioner Adam Silver spoke about the reassessment of the G-League Ignite team after seeing the effect of NIL on college programs. College basketball fans could see more talented players if the G-League Ignite team is dissolved in favor of the college and NIL route. In other college basketball news, St John’s head basketball coach Rick Pitino had some choice words about his team after losing to Seton Hall. The guys react to the latest flurry of angry quotes from the fiery Pitino. Outside of college sports, a new bill has been proposed in the state of Tennessee to ban the sale of cold beer in retail stores to try and limit the amount of drinking while driving. To close out the show, The People’s Court takes on a case of a gassy darts player psyching-out his opponent with some well-timed flatulence. 1:00 - When will the College Football Playoff get their new media deal? 9:30 - Effects of the Power Five/Group of Five separation 29:31 - Will the Egg Bowl be moved for Texas vs. Texas A&M? 37:58 - Adam Silver is reassessing the NBA’s G-League team 46:14 - Rick Pitino was very unhappy with St. John’s after losing to Seton Hall 52:08 - New bill proposed in Tennessee would ban the sale of cold beer from retailers 56:19 - The People’s Court: Poor darts sportsmanship Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Feb 15, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to discussions surrounding expansion for the NCAA’s college basketball tournaments and the College Football Playoff. The college leaders are meddling again and the guys are not happy about it. This time the college basketball championship tournament is drawing attention. After rumblings about possible expansion, the crew explains why expanding the field would be a mistake. On the football side, the CFP could be expanding before the next format even begins. Conference commissioners and the CFP committee are still not in unison about the automatic qualifier rules. Dan, Pat & Ross explain what this means for college football going forward. After news of Georgia State head coach Shawn Elliot leaving to coach at the University of South Carolina, the podcast begins to dissect the trend of Group of Five head coaches leaving their teams to take a different role at a high-level Power Five program. Meanwhile, in other coaching carousel news, Boston College has finished their head coaching search by hiring former Alabama and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien. The crew breaks down the hire with optimism for O’Brien, who could be a great fit for the Eagles. Lastly, The People’s Court takes on a restless airline passenger & bugs on a plane. 1:00 - Should the college basketball national championship tournament expand? 26:12 - Will we see another CFP expansion soon? 37:06 - More Group of Five coaches are leaving for Power Five jobs 45:40 - Bill O’Brien hired by Boston College 52:52 - The People’s Court: Sick on a plane Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Feb 13, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast breaking down the coaching turnover that took place over the last few days at UCLA. It all started when UCLA head coach Chip Kelly decided to take the open offensive coordinator position at Ohio State late last week. Kelly made waves by leaving a respected head coaching position to become a coordinator within the Big Ten (which is now home to both universities). The guys wonder if this move could signal the new nature of college head coaches or if UCLA wasn’t doing enough on their end to get a great football program going. Meanwhile, DeShaun Foster will be the next man to take the helm for the Bruins. The podcast wants to see the UCLA alum and former NFL running back tap into the rich recruiting bed of California to make the program more competitive. This week, Pat reflected on one of the craziest coaching offseasons in history, the 2018 coaching derby. After 6 years, only one coach from the historic pool is still at their program. Later, Ross provides an update on the Tennessee vs. NCAA hearing & when fans can hope for a decision. Outside of sports, country singer Toby Keith passed away last week, so the crew reflects on his career and fandom of Oklahoma athletics. Lastly, Dan is on trial in the People’s Court for attending a controversial new sport. 1:00 - Chip Kelly to be the next Ohio State offensive coordinator 25:27 - UCLA hires DeShaun Foster to be the next head coach 38:38 - Looking back at the 2018 coaching derby 46:10 - Latest on the Tennessee vs. NCAA hearing 52:05 - Toby Keith’s Oklahoma fandom 55:31 - The People’s Court: is Power Slap on the rise?

Feb 8, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde examine the news that Kirk Herbstreit may have contributed to quarterback Dylan Raiola flipping from Georgia to Nebraska. In an interview with Rivals, Dylan’s father Dominic Raiola recalls a phone call with Kirk Herbstreit discussing the impact that his son would have on Nebraska. Raiola’s flip is not only a flip from Georgia to Nebraska, but also a flip from the SEC, which has a media deal with Herbstreit’s employer ESPN, to the Big Ten, which has broadcasts with Fox. In other TV news, following a very brief retirement, Nick Saban has made his next move to join ESPN’s College GameDay crew. The podcast predicts what Nick Saban’s role could be on the program and if he will even have the patience for the show’s theatrics. Later, Ross provides an update on the latest College Football Playoff meetings. While not many tangible moves were made in the latest session, the group is definitely eyeing the future. Elsewhere, the Boston College head coaching job still vacant, so the guys discuss who would be the best fit for the Eagles. The two main candidates are Paul Chryst and Bill O’Brien, who has a strong familiarity with the New England fanbase. Dan is in Las Vegas covering the Super Bowl, so the podcast reflects on the college careers of some of the stars for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The conversation shifts to how the media surrounding the Super Bowl has changed.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde examine the fallout from SEC & Big Ten commissioners Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti creating a new partnership on the future of college football. Don’t call it an alliance, the SEC and Big Ten are now jointly working on their own proposal outside of the NCAA to progress college athletics. The guys highlight the pros and cons of this news along with how and if the NCAA can counter this development. This proposal could include a pitch to create a new college football league, or it could solidify a balanced payment structure for student athletes across all levels. With the news of Jeff Hafley leaving Boston College to serve as the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers and rumors of Chip Kelly moving on from UCLA, the podcast discusses whether or not we will see more coaches leave college for the NFL. New details from the Brad Bohannon sports gambling scandal have emerged and the crew revels in the carelessness.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde devote today’s episode to Tennessee’s lawsuit against the NCAA after reports that the University of Tennessee is under investigation for NIL violations. The school has received help from both the Tennessee and Virginia attorneys general in a lawsuit against the NCAA in attempts to get a court’s ruling to absolve them. The guys dive into whether or not Tennessee committed any violations, as well as if the NCAA can retroactively enforce any punishments. The podcast then debates about whether or not the current college athletics structure should involve guardrails and, if found guilty, whether or not the NCAA could invoke the death penalty on the Volunteers. Later in the show, with March Madness nearing, the podcast takes a look at this weekend’s packed college hoops action. To close out the episode, The People’s Court opens up a case on a gassy airplane passenger. 1:00 - Tennessee is suing the NCAA over NIL violations 48:40 - College basketball is heating up with a big weekend 54:08 - The People’s Court: Airplane flatulence [ Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for the 2024 MLB season ] Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their thoughts on the news of Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. After a storied and drama-filled college tenure, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has chosen to return to the NFL and coach the Los Angeles Chargers. The podcast reflects on his time at Michigan and revisits their favorite moments of the Harbaugh era. Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will become the next head coach for the Wolverines. The guys examine what Sherrone Moore can do to improve the program the season after winning a national championship. With Harbaugh gone, the NCAA is left with some decisions to make Michigan’s alleged recruiting & cheating violations. The crew debates what punishments would be appropriate for Michigan, and more importantly, if the NCAA will be able to enforce any punishments that would be more than just a slap on the wrist. The University of Texas’ endless pearl-clutching about the “Horns Down” taunt continues to heat up after BYU fans were made to take off shirts spelling out the phrase at a basketball game this weekend. The guys are shocked at Texas’ sensitivity and question whether or not they will be able to handle the even rowdier fans of the SEC. To close out the show, the crew takes a look at former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte getting busted for numerous sports gambling charges while at school. 1:00 - Jim Harbaugh leaves Michigan to coach LA Chargers 17:22 - How will Sherrone Moore fare as Michigan coach? 35:13 - What will the NCAA do with Michigan’s outstanding violations? 58:30 - More Texas pearl-clutching about “Horns Down” 1:04:33 - Kayshon Boutte busted for betting on college football games [ Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for the 2024 MLB season ] Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 24, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde devote the entirety of today’s episode looking deeper into the key issues plaguing the world of college athletics at the moment. Starting off with transfer rules, the gang looks to a recent interview by Kadyn Proctor. The offensive lineman spoke on transferring from Alabama to Iowa, where he noted that Iowa was supporting him throughout his freshman year playing for the Crimson Tide. Was this tampering on Iowa’s part? While a tampering rule is in writing in the NCAA bylaws, coaches and agents have been working around it for years. As the crew examines the solution to tampering, Dan challenges that tampering isn’t a problem outside of college athletics. Meanwhile, there is an entirely separate can of worms in relation to the athlete/employee dichotomy. NCAA commissioner Charlie Baker has a new proposal, called “Project D1,” which is focused on beginning a conversation about legitimate athlete employment at the collegiate level. Whether it be collective bargaining or revenue sharing, Baker looks to hit the reset button. Ross breaks down the plan and how congress could address it, along with highlighting what the NCAA needs to do in order to get out of the transition with the least amount of damage. To close out the podcast, The People’s Court examines a pickle-y trade proposal in a Buffalo Wild Wings & Doritos is involved in the alcohol world now. 1:00 - Did Iowa to Alabama transfer Kadyn Proctor engage in tampering? 33:17 - Charlie Baker’s “Project D1" and the future of athletes as employees 50:45 - The People’s Court: Pickle trade at the Buffalo Wild Wings? 57:40 - Would you eat it: Doritos alcohol edition Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 22, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast with two football powerhouses loading up big time this offseason. Ohio State can’t stop landing top talent this winter. After news broke last week that top portal safety Caleb Downs is transferring to Ohio State, the Buckeyes flipped top QB Julian Sayin from Alabama. Ohio State appears to be building up for a championship run next year and the fan expectations are starting to rise. Buying-in and utilizing NIL opportunities for high-impact players is looking like a strong strategy to try and win the new Big Ten. Meanwhile, LSU is beginning to find their footing in the SEC again. The Tigers are landing more recruits from Louisiana now that Nick Saban isn’t at Alabama anymore. SEC recruiting has opened up since college football’s GOAT coach has retired and Brian Kelly is taking advantage. Last week’s congressional hearing around college athletics has exposed the divide between the top football programs and the rest of college athletics. Top-tier college football has been recruiting players who see themselves as employees for years, while athletes from other sports have a differing viewpoint of their athletic status. In women’s basketball news, after Ohio State beat Iowa in their latest matchup over the weekend, a fan made accidental contact with star player Caitlin Clark while storming the court. The podcast examines whether the contact was severe enough to warrant Clark losing her footing. To close out the show, The People’s Court examines a sandwich thrown in a Florida Subway. 1:00 - Ohio State is building back up 20:35 - Julian Sayin has flipped from Alabama to Ohio State 40:14 - LSU is on fire recruiting 44:54 - Fallout from last week’s congressional NCAA hearing 56:19 - Did Caitlin Clark flop after making contact with a fan? 1:04:40 - The People’s Court: sandwich throwing Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast examining where Jim Harbaugh could be coaching in 2024 after interesting language was found in his Michigan contract. The former 49ers head coach has already taken interviews with the Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons. With a couple rules violations this past year, Harbaugh and his team are exploring all options including trying to get rid of a strict liability clause in his current contract. Nick Saban’s retirement has snowballed into panic for the Alabama faithful. The Crimson Tide have seen over 20 players enter the transfer portal looking for a new home this offseason. One of the main drawbacks of losing a coach is losing players that he recruited as well. In Big Ten news, Ohio State has hired Ross Bjork to be their next Athletic Director. This move reminds the guys of Bjork overseeing Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss and the deception that the two weaved while working together. Toledo football head coach Jason Candle has been surrounded with buzz this offseason, the latest being from Ohio State. The trend of hiring Group of Five head coaches to a Power Five staff is starting to catch on more and more, with Alabama hiring two talented G5 coaches this offseason. The guys examine this trend and how it impacts the sport. To close out the show, The People’s Court chimes in on the most expensive bottle of scotch sold. 1:00 - Jim Harbaugh: stay at Michigan or go to the NFL? 25:46 - Alabama is being cleaned out by the transfer portal 40:40 - Ohio State hires Ross Bjork as their new AD 51:05 - Will Ohio State hire Jason Candle from Toledo? 57:24 - College sports hits Capitol Hill again 1:01:38 - The People’s Court: $2 million scotch Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 15, 2024

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde break down the chain reaction that has taken place since Nick Saban announced his retirement from Alabama last week. Washington’s Kalen DeBoer has accepted the Alabama head coach position a week after taking the Huskies to the National Championship. With big shoes to fill, the biggest question on everyone’s minds is whether or not Kalen deBoer can recruit in the SEC. Washington filled their head coaching vacancy subsequently with Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch. Fisch helped turn Arizona into a 10-win program last year and is expected to bring some quick stability to Washington. Ohio State has been returning a lot of veteran players this offseason. It appears that the Buckeyes want to approach the offseason like Michigan and Washington did this previous season. In transfer portal news, former Washington State quarterback Cam Ward has decided to transfer to the University of Miami after declaring for the NFL draft. Pat and Dan were shocked to see this happen, but Mario Cristobal continues to prove that he is one of the best recruiters in the country right now. Meanwhile, UNLV’s Jayden Maiava has flipped from Georgia to USC. The Trojans were looking to find some QB depth after Malachi Nelson transferred out of the program to Boise State. The NCAA is penalizing Florida State after deeming that a coach setting up a meeting between a recruit and a booster was not allowed. The podcast continues to be baffled by the selective punishment for matters that everyone partakes in, but FSU is still expected to be fined. To close out the podcast, The People’s Court takes on a case of misleading advertising from a candy company. 1:00 - Kalen DeBoer is hired as the next Alabama head coach 24:27 - Jedd Fisch to take the Washington job 32:50 - Ohio State is building an older roster 39:03 - Cam Ward transfers to Miami 41:30 - Jayden Maiava flips from Georgia to USC 45:15 - NCAA is penalizing Florida State for NIL-related violations 53:27 - The People’s Court: false candy advertising Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 11, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde get together for an emergency podcast after news broke on Wednesday afternoon that after 17 seasons at Alabama, Nick Saban is retiring from coaching college football. The guys take a look into the career of Nick Saban: his successes, his challenges, the way he evolved with the game and took on every challenger throughout the years. Even with the buzz of retirement starting this season, the decision still took many people by surprise. Dan, Ross & Pat also give their favorite anecdotes and run-ins with Saban over the years before discussing his successor. The next head coach for Alabama will have big shoes to fill and an insatiable fanbase to take care of. The crew speculates who is in contention of being offered the job from Alabama, as well as who has the nerve to accept it. Many of the top candidates are enticing, but Alabama isn’t the only school that can win national championships anymore, as Monday night’s Michigan win proved. To close out the show, the crew reacts to NCAA president Charlie Baker exonerating Michigan after the months-long sign-stealing saga. 1:00 - Nick Saban has retired from coaching college football 35:13 - Who will be the next Alabama head coach? 1:01:00 - Charlie Baker exonerates Michigan, doesn’t regret his decision Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The 2023 college football season is officially in the books, as Jim Harbaugh's Michigan Wolverines football team pounded the Washington Huskies 34-13 on Monday night in Houston, securing a perfect season and the program's first national championship since 1997. Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde recap it all from the CFP media center in Houston. Two 40+ yard Donovan Edwards touchdowns put the Wolverines ahead 14-3 early, and while the Huskies cut the lead to seven on two different occasions, it just never felt like Washington's night as Michael Penix Jr. seemed off all night, clearly troubled by a rib injury. The guys discuss Michigan's defiant win after a season of controversy, the future of Jim Harbaugh & JJ McCarthy, Pat's frustrations with Texas liquor laws & two Alabama men going viral for unfortunate incidents involving an oversized urn & a Bass Pro Shop. 1:00 - Michigan beats Washington in the College Football Playoff Championship 32:56 - Georgia fans are still upset about being left out of the CFP 39:17 - The season’s final AP poll is released 40:24 - Quinshon Judkins has transferred to Ohio State 49:27 - A man jumped naked into the Bass Pro Shops fish tank Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 4, 2024

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down the upcoming College Football Playoff title between the Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies on Monday night in Houston. Before the game picks and preview, Michigan’s quarterback JJ McCarthy spoke this week about the Michigan sign-stealing saga. McCarthy claimed that 80% of teams are stealing signs and that Michigan’s sign stealing endeavors were reactionary due to Ohio State. Also, Jim Harbaugh’s future is very unclear heading into the championship game. The guys make their predictions on whether or not this will be Harbaugh’s last game coaching Michigan. Outside of Monday’s big game, former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard is visiting with Ohio State. The Buckeyes are in the market for a new quarterback after Kyle McCord left for Syracuse and Will Howard could provide some veteran experience. Meanwhile, nine players on Alabama’s team have entered the transfer portal following their loss to Michigan, so the podcast does a quick wellness check of the Crimson Tide. To close out the podcast, The People’s Court takes on a lopsided basketball game between Grambling and the College of Biblical Studies. 1:00 - College Football Playoff Championship is Monday night 4:24 - JJ McCarthy opened up about sign-stealing 24:57 - Is this Jim Harbaugh’s last game at Michigan? 31:03 - Keys to the CFP Championship Game 39:06 - Former KSU QB Will Howard is visiting Ohio State 42:25 - Nine Alabama players have hit the transfer portal since Monday 43:00 - Update on the upcoming NCAA convention 50:34 - The People’s Court: Grambling vs. College of Biblical Studies Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jan 2, 2024

The final four-team edition of the CFP semifinals played out Monday night in Los Angeles & New Orleans and Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde convene for a late-night podcast to recap all of the action. In the Rose Bowl, Jim Harbaugh's Michigan team finally made it past the semifinal round as JJ McCarthy and the Wolverines pushed past Alabama in single overtime 27-20. Sloppy mistakes, botched snaps & special teams errors plagued the game and Michigan has finally made it to the CFP title game. Can the Wolverines go on to win it all after the soap opera that was Harbaugh's 2023 campaign? Ross & Pat were in attendance for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, and they describe the scene as a red-hot Michael Penix Jr. performance pushed the Huskies over the top in a high-scoring 37-31 affair over the Longhorns. Penix looked unstoppable, delivering laser after laser all night, with a 430 yard, 2 TD performance in the Superdome, but ultimately the Huskies defense needed to make the final plays of the game as Quinn Ewers lead a stunning final drive to almost snatch a Texas victory in the closing seconds. 1:00 - Rose Bowl: Michigan defeats Alabama in OT 18:03 - Sugar Bowl: Washington's high-powered offense too much for Texas 37:20 - FSU loses badly to Georgia 44:26 - The Bourbon Street blunder 46:56 - Unhappy with the Rose Bowl sunset 54:24 - Michigan vs. Washington lookahead Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 28, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde are back from the holiday weekend to dissect the latest from the ongoing saga in Tallahassee as FSU has sued the ACC over their grant of rights deal in order to leave the conference. The guys discuss how this move, if granted in favor of Florida State, would open the door for other ACC schools to leave, thereby crushing the conference. Meanwhile, Coach Prime gave his thoughts on Florida State not making the playoffs with an undefeated record and claimed that the CFP committee wouldn’t have left FSU out if he were the head coach there – a bold statement indeed. The guys dive into whether or not Deion Sanders would be enough of a draw to have gotten his team to the CFP bracket on his fame alone. Lane Kiffin impressed again this offseason by retaining his title of the ‘Portal King.’ The Ole Miss head coach, while publicly dissatisfied with the college football offseason, has continued to thrive in its increasingly messy conditions. In other transfer portal news, the NCAA is expected to review new proposals for the portal which include higher academic requirements and penalties for underperforming academic programs. The CFP semifinals are right around the corner, so the podcast breaks down the #4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide against the #1 ranked Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl and the #3 ranked Texas Longhorns taking the #2 ranked Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl. 1:00 - FSU sues the ACC over grant of rights deal 19:33 - Health of this year’s bowl games 23:06 - Deion Sanders speaks on the FSU snub 28:31 - ‘Portal King’ Lane Kiffin has the #1 transfer class 32:57 - Newest transfer portal proposals? 38:48 - Rose Bowl preview: #4 Alabama vs. #1 Michigan 56:09 - Sugar Bowl preview: #3 Texas vs. #2 Washington Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 22, 2023

Dan Wetzel & Ross Dellenger huddle together after news broke Thursday that Florida State is trying to get out of their grant of rights deal with the ACC in order to move to a new conference. FSU previously made a push to gain entry to the SEC last summer, but were not accepted. The school is now making a bigger push to leave after seeing programs in the SEC and Big Ten generate more revenue than them due to their lucrative deals. The SEC is seemingly the first conference that FSU will chase after, but the Big Ten could swoop in. Dan & Ross discuss whether or not the SEC even wants FSU and how the Big Ten is just trying to stack assets so they could end up making the push for the Seminoles If Florida State is granted an exit from the conference, we could see the ACC crumble similar to the Pac-12. The guys debate which other schools could leave the conference & whether or not they would be better fits than FSU at a new destination. To close out the podcast, The People’s Court takes on a wild party at a taco bell. 1:00 - FSU is attempting to leave the ACC 19:24 - Can FSU get into the SEC? 31:24 - Will the Big Ten pursue FSU? 41:04 - How nervous should the rest of the ACC be right now? 52:55 - Emergency People’s Court: Taco Bell edition Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 21, 2023

Dan Wetzel & Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast diving into the action stemming from this year’s National Signing Day. Per usual, Alabama & Georgia had good recruiting classes, while Florida has dropped significantly in the class rankings since early November. Ohio State and Ryan Day had a few awkwardly timed scares as Day had to leave a press conference to find out whether or not the Buckeyes were retaining a top recruit. The remains of the Pac-12 have found a new home for athletics outside of football and baseball. The West Coast Conference will be where Oregon State & Washington State sports will be hosted moving forward with the schools’ football programs still searching for their best possible option. UTSA and head coach Jeff Traylor were able to get a win in the Frisco Bowl over Marshall, leading to a classic reaction from Traylor after having a giant iced coffee poured over him — a new take on the Gatorade bath. Keen college football watchers may notice some upgraded technology in bowl games this week. Video tablets and in-helmet radios are getting their trial run in a handful of games before potentially being fully implemented into college football in future seasons. Ross gives a breakdown as to why we haven’t seen them in use before and why they could be approved soon. Lastly, The People’s Court rules on how Louisville football players would fare against certain animals in the San Diego Zoo. 1:00 - National Signing Day recap 11:32 - Florida’s tough month of flips 19:42 - Ryan Day’s nail-biting NSD 29:02 - Washington State & Oregon State athletics have found a home 33:30 - UTSA’s big bowl win 37:25 - Bowl game helmets to have new communication tech 50:00 - The People’s Court: College football players vs. San Diego Zoo Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 18, 2023

With another week of the college football offseason underway, the transfer portal is being utilized more and more. Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde are back to kick off more transfer portal talk, as Coach Prime has reloaded in the trenches, Washington lands Will Howard and former Ohio State QB Kyle McCord has found a new home at Syracuse. McCord, who was 11-1 as a starter at Ohio State, decided that the next best step for him was taking the lead signal caller for the Syracuse Orange. The podcast analyzes the move and examines why quarterbacks are so willing to enter the transfer portal for a new program. Quarterbacks know that they not only need to play, but they need to start, so when Ohio State couldn’t commit to McCord, he found a new home in upstate New York. The NCAA is heading into another round of waiver hearings after last week’s session. The guys discuss the latest deliberations around the transfer portal and highlight that we could be looking at a future where there aren’t any transfer restrictions moving forward. UCLA head coach Chip Kelly took some time in a postgame press conference to pitch his idea for the future of college football: Kelly believes that every program should be independent, with two 64-team conferences broken into Power Five and Group of Five. In other news, New Mexico State head coach Jerry Kill was not happy with the practice field restrictions that New Mexico’s administration put on his program. The restrictions came after a video surfaced of New Mexico State quarterback Diego Pavia allegedly urinating on the Lobos logo inside their practice facility. Lastly, the People’s Court takes on a case of donut van thievery. 1:00 - This year’s transfer portal is coming into focus 13:22 - Ohio State’s Kyle McCord transfers to Syracuse 21:14 - Eagerness of quarterbacks entering the portal 34:00 - NCAA’s waiver policy hearings 50:40 - Chip Kelly’s new college football format 54:53 - Jerry Kill is unhappy with New Mexico 1:04:53 - People’s Court: Donut van theft Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 13, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to rumors that no. 1 quarterback prospect Dylan Raiola could flip his commitment from the University of Georgia to Nebraska. Raiola has family ties with the Cornhuskers and Matt Rhule’s Nebraska team is looking for a jump-start as they head into a more competitive Big Ten. In transfer portal news, Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has transferred to Wisconsin. The longtime Hurricane is heading north for a fresh start and this Wisconsin program is surely hoping that Van Dyke can help modernize their offense. Elsewhere, Riley Leonard has decided to transfer to Notre Dame. After an injury-ridden season at Duke, Leonard has the chance to elevate the Fighting Irish offense after Sam Hartman departs for the NFL Draft. The guys then look at the future of the transfer portal, as more hearings and legislature regarding the mechanism are due shortly. Seven states are currently pushing to have all rules surrounding the transfer portal eliminated. Additionally, MAC commissioner John Steinbrecher is aiming to dismantle the NCAA’s waiver rules. In the second half of the show, the guys make their picks against the spread in part I of the return of the College Football Enquirer’s Bowl Bonanza. 1:00 - Dylan Raiola could flip from Georgia to Nebraska 16:56 - Tyler Van Dyke transfers to Wisconsin 19:31 - Riley Leonard transfers to Notre Dame 22:45 - Parity is increasing in college recruiting 30:03 - Latest transfer portal proposals 37:41 - Bowl Bonanza, part I Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger https://youtu.be/34249V-7hz4 Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dec 11, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their thoughts on LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels winning this season’s Heisman Trophy on Saturday night. The guys explain their votes for the award and break down why Daniels separated himself as the #1 candidate on a loaded panel. In transfer portal news, Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel is heading west as he has decided to transfer to Oregon. Gabriel is hoping to find the success that Bo Nix found with a fresh start under Dan Lanning. The other top QBs left in the portal are beginning to make their rounds as Kyle McCord is visiting Nebraska & Riley Leonard is visiting Notre Dame. Elsewhere, Coach Prime and Colorado have been busy since the regular season ended. The Buffaloes are stocking up on offensive linemen in the portal as well as signing 5-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. In a rare double block of North Dakota news, the guys examine North Dakota State’s Matt Entz becoming USC’s next linebackers coach and talk about NDSU fans guessing the ticket portal password for a matchup against South Dakota and scooping up tickets saved for South Dakota’s boosters. Closing out the podcast, Pat provides his top three college football plays that were overturned (inspired by Travis Kelce’s backwards lateral on Sunday night) and The People’s Court takes on a case involving an inmate driver that went rogue. 1:00 - Jayden Daniels wins the Heisman Trophy 16:23 - Dillon Gabriel is transferring to Oregon 23:41 - Kyle McCord visits Nebraska 29:23 - Riley Leonard took a visit to Notre Dame 35:00 - Colorado is revamping their offensive line 38:45 - Matt Entz leaves North Dakota State to become linebackers coach at USC 42:12 - North Dakota State fans bypass a South Dakota security prompt 47:22 - Best college football plays that didn’t count 53:28 - The People’s Court: Rogue inmate driver Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde open up the mailbag on today’s show to answer the most pressing questions from listeners about the current state of college football. Dan & Pat respond to listener questions and provide their thoughts on Ohio State’s transfer portal situation, the latest on Charlie Baker’s planned subdivision, all things Florida State & Jordan Travis, plus a look back at coaches that ran great programs, Boston accents outside of Boston & the best team that has won the College Football Playoff. Following the mailbag, the guys react to the news that the University of Kentucky has thrown their hat in the ring, claiming the best tap water in America.

Dec 5, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast, analyzing the new reports that NCAA president Charlie Baker is planning on building a new Division I subconference with a focus on athlete revenue sharing. Ross details Baker’s plans that would allow qualified schools to control their own revenue sharing with athletes. This new development leads to questions about the future of Olympic sports and what happens when schools are given full control over the compensation for their athletes. Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord has entered the transfer portal after posting an 11-1 season for the Buckeyes. The move appeared to be mutual after head coach Ryan Day did not commit to McCord as the starter in 2024. The guys break down the pros and cons of the quarterback surge in the transfer portal. Elsewhere in the portal, Texas A&M’s Walter Nolen has entered after two seasons as an Aggie. The top recruit is opting for a new home instead of testing the Mike Elko system. Also, QB Tyler Buchner is planning on switching sports to lacrosse after a couple rollercoaster seasons with Notre Dame and Alabama. Later, the guys return to Florida State’s exclusion from the College Football Playoff. Was the committee wary of the Seminoles after seeing their offensive struggles with Brock Glenn at the helm against Louisville in the ACC Championship game?

Dec 3, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the final College Football Playoff rankings for the 2023 season. With 5 teams truly deserving of a spot in the College Football Playoff, one school had to draw the short straw. Michigan, Washington, Texas & Alabama round out the finalized bracket for the playoff, while the Florida State Seminoles are the odd team out this year, coming in at #5 after an undefeated season. Nobody appeared to be more disappointed than FSU quarterback Jordan Travis, who took to social media after the announcement, wishing he could have gotten hurt earlier in the year so that the committee could see the true potential of this FSU team. Dan, Pat & Ross analyze why the 4-team system was implemented & why the 12-team system was delayed for so long. Ross then takes us into the history of the ACC/Big Ten/Pac-12 “Alliance” and how it failed, along with how the ACC hurt themselves by not advocating for an expanded playoff earlier due to grievances with the SEC’s expansion. The show also takes a dive into what the 12-team playoff firmat would look like this year with so many quality teams in the mix who obviously did not make the top-4 like Oregon, Ohio State & Georgia. Speaking of the Bulldogs, Alabama took down Georgia on Saturday to claim another SEC championship. From snap one, the Crimson Tide looked like a different team than last week. Georgia couldn’t get their ground game going and more importantly, they couldn’t get Alabama out of their heads. The guys break down how Alabama was able to rally after a shaky start to the season to become one of the final four teams competing for a national championship. Washington and Texas will battle in the CFP semifinals in the Sugar Bowl on January 1st.\. Both programs had excellent years and the crew is very excited to see these two square off. Washington’s offense has stepped up in their most important games this year and Texas was able to dominate the Big 12 in the latter half of the season. Before closing out the show, the guys share their way-too-early national championship predictions and forecast whether or not LSU’s Jaden Daniels has secured the Heisman Trophy. Lastly, the show gives out their final Small Sample Heisman awards of the season, and as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - College Football Playoff is set, leaving out Florida State 17:55 - History and failure of ‘The Alliance’ 27:04 - What the 12-team playoff would look like this year 29:00 - Alabama beats Georgia to win SEC 43:09 - Who has the edge in Washington vs. Texas? 47:40 - Who is your national champion? 49:54 - Did Jayden Daniels win the Heisman this season? 51:30 - Small Sample Heisman 55:20 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their picks against the spread for college football’s conference championship weekend and react to the return of Bobby Petrino in Arkansas. Last week’s Michigan vs. Ohio State game peaked at 19.7 million TV viewers, so the guys discuss the continued rise in popularity of college football and how it is able to succeed despite so much internal dysfunction within the sport. College football’s scandals and high amount of change in recent years may have fueled the boom, along with Texas coming back to relevance and the addition of Coach Prime at a Power Five school. Bobby Petrino has returned to the Arkansas Razorbacks football program after being fired from the team after alleged indiscretions with a staff member. The crew revels in the fact that both Petrino and Arkansas were able to agree to terms, but warn that head coach Sam Pittman must be sharp next year as Petrino has been known to aim for the big job. 5-star defensive lineman Justin Scott has decided to flip from Ohio State to the University of Miami. While commit flips aren’t rare, the reality of money openly being used to lure away commits is increasing in the new landscape of college athletics. Ross provides information on the future of college football conference championship games and whether or not they will continue in the future. The issue has become more divisive lately as more commissioners are leaning towards abandoning them, while others see the importance of the games when paired with a 12-team playoff. Sports Illustrated named Deion Sanders their Sportsman of the Year, so the podcast reflects on Coach Prime’s first season with Colorado. Sanders was able to take the nation by storm with his unorthodox recruiting tactics, along with his bright personality. However, the Buffs also closed out the year 4-8 leaving, a sour taste in the mouths of the Colorado faithful. More quarterbacks have entered the transfer portal, most notably, Duke’s Riley Leonard & Coastal Carolina’s Grayson McCall. Leonard has already been projected as the next Notre Dame quarterback, but the guys are staying patient with their assessments, as the wild west of the transfer portal is just getting started. This year’s College Football Playoff race is as tight as ever, so Dan floats the question whether or not the committee will select the four best teams. Will there be pushback against the inclusion of Florida State if they remain undefeated, considering their résumé? To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #5 ranked Oregon Ducks versus the #3 ranked Washington Huskies, the #18 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys taking on the #7 ranked Texas Longhorns, the #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs against the #8 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the #2 ranked Michigan Wolverines versus the #16 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes, the #14 ranked Louisville Cardinals against the #4 ranked Florida State Seminoles and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Introduction 4:25 - 19.7 million viewers tuned into the Michigan-Ohio State game 12:55 - Bobby Petrino hired as the new Arkansas OC 27:13 - Justin Scott flipped from Ohio State to Miami 32:05 - Will we see the end of conference championships soon? 41:26 - Deion Sanders named SI’s Sportsman of the year 51:17 - More QBs are entering the transfer portal 59:27 - Will the best 4 teams be in the CFP? 1:10:52 - #5 Oregon vs. #3 Washington 1:14:44 - #18 Oklahoma State vs. #7 Texas 1:17:06 - #1 Georgia vs. #8 Alabama 1:19:28 - #2 Michigan vs. #16 Iowa 1:23:12 - #14 Louisville vs. #4 Florida State 1:26:02 - Locks of the Week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their thoughts ahead of college football’s exciting conference championship games this weekend. The Alabama Crimson Tide are hoping to keep their playoff hopes alive with a win against the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia aims to remain undefeated in pursuit of a third straight national championship. With such a tight CFO race, the guys examine scenarios whether either Alabama or Georgia make it, and also the possibility of a College Football Playoff that doesn’t include the SEC at all Oregon and Washington will be battling for a spot in the playoff out in the Pac-12. Washington has a win over Oregon already this season, but Oregon has been firing on all cylinders to close out the season and is the favorite in their rematch. Florida State needs to secure the ACC championship against Louisville this weekend with quarterback Tate Rodemaker at the helm. Florida State has a solid resume, but there are 1-loss teams with better wins, so the Seminoles need to bank on a win and the CFP committee valuing an undefeated ACC champion over who the best team is at the moment. Mike Gundy and his mullet have an opportunity to end Texas’ CFP hopes this weekend. Texas has already notched an impressive win over Alabama, but their loss to Oklahoma makes this game a must-win for the Longhorns to stay in the hunt. Duke head coach Mike Elko accepted the Texas A&M head coaching job this week. Elko was received well by the Aggie faithful online as well as in-person. The crew discusses the odd rituals that Texas A&M has and compare it to Mississippi State’s reception of Jeff Lebby at the Starkville airport. In other news, the college football transfer portal has opened up, so offseason relocation madness is finally beginning. Kansas State quarterback Will Howard jumped in the portal along with Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke. The crew expects more talented players to enter looking for a new program. To close out the podcast, the Pop-Tarts Bowl has a new innovative and edible mascot. 1:00 - SEC Championship: Alabama vs. Georgia 21:42 - Pac-12 Championship: Oregon vs Washington 29:38 - Could you have the CFP without undefeated Florida State? 36:45 - Can Oklahoma State beat Texas in the Big 12 Championship? 43:42 - Mike Elko is the new Texas A&M head coach 53:36 - The transfer portal has opened: madness will ensue 58:10 - Pop-Tarts Bowl has a new twist Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 27, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the biggest games that took place during college football rivalry week including Michigan’s win over Ohio State and Alabama’s last-second heroics over Auburn. With Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh serving the final game of his three-game suspension, Sherrone Moore led Michigan to their third consecutive victory against Ohio State. The guys discuss how Michigan was able to win this game over their rival and how the narrative surrounding the team has to change. The Connor Stalions saga has dramatically decreased weight after the Wolverines proved they could win this game without Harbaugh on the sidelines. Ryan Day’s status as the head coach of Ohio State becomes much cloudier after this loss; Day has an incredible record, but his pattern of losses against blood-rival Michigan will undoubtedly cast pressure and doubt on his future. The Iron Bowl did not disappoint at all this year; Auburn had Alabama on the ropes all game, but when the Crimson Tide needed some Milroe-magic, the quarterback came through big. The miraculous 4th & 31 touchdown pass from Jalen Milroe to Isaiah Bond kept Alabama’s playoff hopes alive as they are set to square off with Georgia this upcoming weekend in the SEC Championship. The Washington Huskies showed guts in their Apple Cup win over Washington State on Saturday. Kalen DeBoer had an incredible play call on 4th & 1 on his own 29-yard-line to get the Huskies in field goal range. Washington is able to stay undefeated and this win has created an incredible matchup next weekend against Oregon in what could be the final Pac-12 championship game. There are still eight teams with a legitimate chance to make the College Football Playoff, so the guys give their scenarios for who gets in and who gets left out when the season ends. Florida State continues to be a main catalyst for conversation as they stay undefeated, but without their starting QB Jordan Travis. The coaching carousel has started up again and moves are already being made as Jonathan Smith is set to become the next coach for Michigan State, Mark Stoops was very close to leaving Kentucky for Texas A&M, Tom Allen is out at Indiana & Mississippi State still has a big decision to make for their vacant head coaching role. To close out the show, Dan, Ross & Pat give out their Small Sample Heisman awards and as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Michigan beats Ohio State for the third straight year 33:06 - Alabama’s wild Iron Bowl win over Auburn 40:51 - Washington stays alive against Washington State 46:04 - The muddled CFP race 1:02:21 - Mark Stoops almost hired by Texas A&M 1:06:42 - Jonathan Smith to coach Michigan State 1:12:02 - The coaching carousel keeps spinning 1:15:21 - Small Sample Heisman 1:21:13 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & Pat Forde pick college football rivalry week’s biggest matchups against the spread on today’s episode of Race for the Case. The guys begin the show by highlighting this week’s most interesting games, in which UNC vs. NC State has the makings for an exciting matchup. Ross then reminisces about classic Egg Bowl hijinks and moments between Mississippi State and Ole Mis. Meanwhile, Louisville is trying to stay hot against Kentucky ahead of their ACC title game. Pat is excited for the Big Ten West’s slate including the lowest over/under total ever in Nebraska vs. Iowa. The crew also yearns for a more interesting Iron Bowl after Auburn’s down year. To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #12 ranked Ole Miss Rebels at the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the #16 ranked Oregon State Beavers at the #6 ranked Oregon Ducks, the #2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes taking on the #3 ranked Michigan Wolverines, the Washington State Cougars visiting the #4 ranked Washington Huskies, the #5 ranked Florida State Seminoles at the Florida Gators and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Most interesting games of the weekend 22:49 - #12 Ole Miss @ Mississippi State 25:33 - #16 Oregon State @ #6 Oregon 27:00 - #2 Ohio State @ #3 Michigan 30:00 - Washington State @ #4 Washington 32:34 - #5 Florida State @ Florida 36:16 - Locks of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 21, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde preview the biggest game of the college football season to date, Ohio State vs. Michigan in Ann Arbor. As the regular season winds down, the animosity between these bitter rivals heats up. The long build to playing your foe is biggest between Ohio State and Michigan, yet this game does not come without future interests and complications as the Big Ten is moving away from in-conference divisions — leaving the noted Buckeye-Wolverine rivalry in a tricky spot. Their longstanding yearly date to face-off could be in jeopardy when the two are allowed to play each other for the Big Ten championship as soon as next year. The guys debate whether or not a back-to-back Michigan-Ohio State game would encourage the Big Ten to keep their divisions. The crew then breaks down the highly anticipated matchup and which team could have the edge. Early in the season, Michigan appeared to be the favorite, but after their last two games and Ohio State’s recent hot streak, it should be much closer. The podcast also analyzes what happens if Ryan Day loses to Michigan for the third straight year. Day is building a good program, but he needs to win the game that matters most to keep the Buckeye faithful in his corner. Florida State is in a tricky situation after starting quarterback Jordan Travis is done for the season due to an injury last weekend. The crew analyzes the best and worst scenarios for Florida State in the next two weeks. The Seminoles need to beat Florida and Louisville to give themselves a chance at the College Football Playoff, and Georgia beating Alabama in the SEC championship game could give FSU a big boost as well. The Knight Commission had a meeting this week with college leaders to discuss the future of college athletics, especially revenue sharing with athletes. Ross breaks down the meeting and what it could mean moving forward for players, coaches & school administrators. The Popeyes Cajun-Style Turkey is back in time for Thanksgiving, so the hosts provide their thoughts on whether or not they would indulge in the fast-food turkey in this festive time of year. 1:00 - What happens to Ohio State-Michigan in a division-less Big Ten? 16:00 - Previewing Ohio State vs. Michigan this weekend 34:25 - Florida State vs. Florida is tricky without Jordan Travis 43:54 - Inching closer to revenue-sharing in college athletics 58:33 - Would you eat the Popeye’s Cajun-Style Turkey?

Nov 19, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & Pat Forde break down the latest in the Michigan football sign-stealing drama and take a deep dive into what happens at Florida State after QB Jordan Travis’ injury. The ball of yarn that is Michigan football continues to come undone as news broke last week that allaged sign-stealer Connor Stalions was funded by a Michigan booster known as ‘Uncle T’. Through all the distractions, Michigan continues to win games, which has elevated the stakes for their matchup next weekend against an Ohio State team that is playing with great momentum. Meanwhile, Ohio State dismantled Minnesota this weekend, so the guys discuss the weaknesses of this Michigan team and how quarterback JJ McCarthy needs to step-up in order to beat their longtime rival next Saturday. Georgia dominated Tennessee on Saturday, leaving no questions as to who the #1 team in college football is. The development of Carson Beck has been huge as Georgia isn’t only dangerous defensively, but they can now score in confident fashion. Florida State’s star quarterback Jordan Travis had to leave the game on Saturday with a bad lower body injury. It is expected that Travis’s year is done, which leaves many questions about FSU’s playoff hopes. If Florida State can stay undefeated, the CFP committee will have a very difficult decision to make, weighing if FSU with a backup quarterback is better than any of the 1-loss teams. The Washington Huskies continue to win big games. Their latest was a 2-point win over Oregon State in very messy conditions. The crew believes that this win has cemented them as a top-4 team in the country as of right now. The Pac-12 has great depth and Washington has yet to lose, which should earn them a higher ranking. Pac-12 coaching news was also buzzing this weekend as Jedd Fisch has made himself a top target for programs looking for a new head coach after his great turnaround at Arizona. Lincoln Riley is losing games at an unexpected pace, making the guys speculate how hot his seat is. Meanwhile, Chip Kelly was rumored to be on a very hot seat last week, but just pulled off a big win against USC, so perhaps his tenure at UCLA isn’t over yet. New Mexico State got a huge payday on Saturday from Auburn. They had their cake and ate it too, as not only did they get paid $1.85 million to play the Tigers, but they also beat them by 21 points. To close out the show, Dan, Ross & Pat give out their Small Sample Heisman awards & as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Michigan plot thickens with the addition of ‘Uncle T’ 13:22 - Ohio State is coming into form 18:30 - Nobody should want to play Georgia 22:32 - What happens to Florida State after the Jordan Travis injury? 30:26 - Washington needs to be ranked in the top four 40:09 - Should Lincoln Riley be on the hot seat? 43:04 - Will Arizona be able to retain Jedd Fisch? 47:12 - Auburn loses $1.85 million in a loss to New Mexico State 51:36 - Small Sample Heisman 56:45 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 16, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest college football games against the spread for Week 12 of the college football season. With two more weeks of the regular season to go, the guys analyze the top contenders to make the College Football Playoff. Georgia found themselves ranked #1 in the latest standings and they look like the team to beat for the second year in a row. The only thing standing in their way is a stubborn Alabama team that they will likely meet in the SEC championship game. Michigan and Ohio State’s playoff berths will be decided by their matchup in a week and a half. If either team keeps the game close, then the committee could vote them both in, barring other undefeated teams getting a loss before then. Washington, Florida State, & Texas are the big wildcards for this year’s playoff and all three teams will have to win out in order to get a chance to make the top four. In legal news, Washington State and Oregon State have been granted the exclusive rights to the Pac-12 conference in their court ruling. The ‘Pac-2’ could look to add Mountain West scheduling and teams into their conference. The Mountain West is aiming to keep all 12 of their schools united in a possible transition to the new Pac-12. James Madison and Jacksonville State had their bowl eligibility appeals denied this week. There is hope that JMU can still make a bowl if not enough eligible teams qualify. Ross believes that the NCAA will take a long look at the FCS-to-FBS transition rule after this year’s precedent set by JMU. The Bahamas Bowl is under construction so the location has been changed to Charlotte, North Carolina & the sponsor has been changed to the Famous Toastery Bowl. The Mid-Atlantic chain restaurant has stepped up when the sport needed them most and the gang is excited for it. Before getting to their official picks, the guys cover a new case of ultra marathon cheating during The People’s Court . To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #10 ranked Louisville Cardinals at the Miami Hurricanes, the #22 ranked Utah Utes versus the #17 ranked Arizona Wildcats, the #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs at the #18 ranked Tennessee Volunteers, the #21 ranked Kansas State Wildcats taking on the #25 ranked Kansas Jayhawks, the #5 ranked Washington Huskies at #11 ranked Oregon State Beavers and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Updated CFP contenders 36:53 - ‘Pac-2’ wins their league rights 43:30 - JMU & Jacksonville State bowl eligibility appeals denied 46:55 - Bahamas Bowl is now the Famous Toastery Bowl 48:47 - People’s Court: Ultra-marathoners 56:03 - #10 Louisville @ Miami 60:00 - #22 Utah @ #17 Arizona 1:02:36 - #1 Georgia @ #18 Tennessee 1:04:10 - #21 Kansas State @ #25 Kansas 1:06:40 - #5 Washington @ #11 Oregon State 1:08:22 - Locks of the Week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 14, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde debate who should be the next head coach for Texas A&M following the departure of Jimbo Fisher. Many big names such as Dan Lanning, Eli Drinkwitz, Lane Kiffin, Kalen DeBoer & Deion Sanders are in the mix as interesting prospects to lead the Aggies next year. Mississippi State fired head coach Zach Arnett on Monday after less than a year of leading the program. The crew notes the awkward transition that Arnett had to make after the passing of Mike Leach and Ross also breaks down what it takes to win football games at Mississippi State, a school noted for a lack of resources or a robust NIL portfolio. Reports have been coming out about what Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is going to do after this season is over. While the quarterback is expected to return to Texas, all remains uncertain as he could declare for the NFL draft if he has a strong finish to this season. And if Ewers does indeed stay, what does that mean for Arch Manning? The Pac-12's court battle against the deserters grows more interesting as Oregon State and Washington State are not looking for future money from the conference, but the lion’s share of what the Pac-12 would bring in this season. Jim Harbaugh spoke with the media earlier this week and delivered a string of lines and oddball topics that only he could. The crew reacts to Harbaugh’s thoughts about virus defense, marital arguments & chicken coops. The Arkansas Polar Express saga has come to a conclusion as head coach Sam Pittman stated that the player responsible for putting the movie on came forward & Pittman was able to deem it ‘just a mistake’. To close out the podcast, Dan, Ross & Pat provide their thoughts to UCLA’s recruits being the culprits for stealing jewelry, cash & headphones from Colorado players while Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes were playing at the Rose Bowl. 1:00 - Who should be the next coach at Texas A&M? 29:20 - Mississippi State fires Zach Arnett 40:10 - Quinn Ewers expected to return to Texas, what does it mean for Manning? 45:10 - The Pac-12 court battle rages on 49:45 - Jim Harbaugh’s latest press conference 60:42 - Arkansas’ ‘Polar Express’ saga has concluded 1:03:28 - UCLA recruits found to be culprits in Colorado locker room burglary Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 12, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast reacting to the news that Texas A&M is parting ways with head coach Jimbo Fisher. Texas A&M made the decision to move on from Fisher after beating Mississippi State 51-10 on Saturday. Many felt that with the enormous buy-out Fisher is due that the university would’ve been more patient, but enough mediocrity had become enough for the Aggie faithful. The guys reflect on the Jimbo Fisher era in College Station and discuss the future of the Texas A&M job in general. The program has a lot of money and top-notch facilities, but will the next coach be able to get them over the hump> The Michigan football melodrama continued on Saturday with an impressive win over Penn State while coach Jim Harbaugh watched from a hotel nearby, serving the first of his three-game suspension. This does appear to be your father’s Wolverine team, as they decided to close out the game by running the ball 32 straight times. On the other hand, this marks another loss for James Franklin against a top-tier Big Ten squad. Georgia reminded everyone who they are again on Saturday against Ole Miss. The crew discusses the evolution of the Bulldog offense and how they got on such a roll. Missouri notched a blowout win against Tennessee this weekend, which gives us a great look ahead to similar high-impact games for a 12-team playoff, where Mizzou would be making quite a push down the stretch. Controversy stuck as Arkansas players were seen watching the animated classic ‘The Polar Express’ during halftime of their game against Auburn. While this may have taken place with redshirt players, Razorback fans aren’t thrilled about the focus (or lack thereof) on football. Saturday provided many close games featuring top teams nearly falling out of the College Football Playoff race. Texas, Washington & Florida State all provided cause for concern after letting their opponents keep the games so close. Iowa garnered some credit from the guys for beating Rutgers 22-0, which basically cements them as the Big Ten West representative in the Big Ten championship game. To close out the show, Dan, Ross & Pat give out their Small Sample Heisman awards & as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Jimbo Fisher fired from Texas A&M 17:22 - Michigan defeats Penn State without Harbaugh 27:58 - Another missed opportunity for James Franklin 32:30 - Georgia showed their strength against Ole Miss 36:11 - The 12-team playoff is made for Missouri 41:30 - What was Arkansas doing at halftime vs. Auburn? 46:33 - Saturday’s close games almost created pandemonium 51:09 - Iowa blanks Rutgers 22-0 52:19 - Small Sample Heisman 56:56 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 11, 2023

Late Friday afternoon, the Big Ten suspended Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh for the three remaining games of the regular season as punishment for the alleged Michigan sign-stealing scandal. However, nothing with the Conor Stalions saga is as easy or simple as it seems. Dan Wetzel and SI's Pat Forde convene for a late-night podcast on Friday night to react to this monumental news out of Ann Arbor and the follow-up story that the University Michigan and Harbaugh have filed for an emergency restraining order against the punishment in a Michigan court. The guys discuss all angles of this evolving story, including what happens next for this Michigan team, if they expect the punishment to be blocked by the courts and the chances of the Wolverines going 6-0 this season without Harbaugh. Another report late Friday night stated that the University of Michigan is so upset by this news, that they may threaten to leave the Big Ten altogether, prompting Dan & Pat to wonder: would the SEC take Michigan? When yearly Alabama-Michigan games are on the table, this story has truly reached the upper-atmosphere of crazy episodes in the history of college football.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick this weekend’s biggest college football games against the spread & provide their thoughts on Michigan’s response to the Big Ten as rumors of a suspension for Jim Harbaugh circulate through the sports world. After being notified of a Big Ten investigation, Michigan was given the opportunity to respond with any claims or information that may exonerate them in the Connor Stalions sign-stealing saga. Michigan is attempting to put the pressure on Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti with their aggressive statements. A few central questions remain with the developments: how will a judge handle this case from a legal perspective & did Jim Harbaugh know the extent to which Stalions went to in order to get the signs? In on-the-field news, NC State quarterback MJ Morris is opting to redshirt this season after playing four games for the Wolfpack. With Morris at QB, NC State has won 3 out of their last 4 games, but the signal caller is looking to preserve another year of eligibility instead of closing out the season. Meanwhile, Quinn Ewers has been upgraded to day-to-day status as Texas is looking to finish the year strong with upcoming games against TCU, Iowa State & Texas Tech. The Longhorns’ win over Alabama will prove to be very useful if they can win out, as they hold all tiebreakers against the Crimson Tide. Before making their picks for Race for the Case , the guys share their most interesting games of the week, which includes a hot Arizona team, some Mountain West action and the always-interesting Miami Hurricanes. To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #3 ranked Michigan Wolverines at the #10 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions, the #18 ranked Utah Utes visiting the #5 ranked Washington Huskies, the #13 ranked Tennessee Volunteers at the #14 ranked Missouri Tigers, the #9 ranked Ole Miss Rebels taking on the #2 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, the USC Trojans at the #6 ranked Oregon Ducks and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Michigan responds to the Big Ten 34:37 - NC State quarterback MJ Morris is redshirting 41:34 - Quinn Ewers is now day-to-day 46:29 - Most interesting games of the weekend 54:39 - #3 Michigan @ #10 Penn State 57:45 - #18 Utah @ #5 Washington 59:34 - #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri 1:01:09 - #9 Ole Miss @ #2 Georgia 1:03:16 - USC @ #6 Oregon 1:04:31 - Locks of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Nov 7, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down the latest news in the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and what punishments may soon come down the line. As more Big Ten coaches express their displeasure with Michigan’s sign-stealing operation, the pressure turns to commissioner Tony Petitti. There are rumblings that he could make a decision before the NCAA does, which hasn’t been seen on this scale since the Cam Newton recruiting saga. Aside from the decision itself, plenty of fans and coaches will be upset no matter what the Big Ten and the NCAA decide. The guys dive into scenarios for other Big Ten schools down the line if a scandal like this were to happen again and how Tony Petitti has a chance to change the landscape for cheating punishments for years to come. Sticking with the Wolverines, the most anticipated game of the week is Michigan traveling to face off against Penn State. Both teams are equipped with elite defenses, but the podcast speculates whether the distractions at Michigan could give Penn State a boost at home this Saturday. Georgia is facing off against Ole Miss this weekend in their stretch of tough late-season SEC games. The crew focuses on whether or not Ole Miss has a shot to win, or at least weaken Georgia before the Bulldogs play Tennessee next week. Tennessee vs. Missouri is the second biggest matchup of in the SEC this weekend. While this game doesn’t hold many major playoff implications this season, it gives us a perfect example of what a high-stakes play-in game might look like for the expanded playoff next season. To close out the podcast, the People’s Court takes on a case between a Florida man, his conspicuous car decorations and the police. 1:00 - Tony Petitti vs. Jim Harbaugh 30:42 - Michigan vs. Penn State 38:47 - Can Ole Miss shock Georgia? 46:34 - Tennessee vs. Missouri 49:08 - People’s Court: Florida Man’s car decorations Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to this weekend’s biggest football games as well as the biggest story in college football: what to do with Michigan in the case of their ever-evolving sign-stealing scandal. Michigan analyst Connor Stallions was fired by the school this past week, leaving many questions unanswered the cheating saga. The guys give their thoughts on what Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti should do, as well as what he is allowed to do in this situation. The rest of the Big Ten wants the hammer dropped on Michigan, but the program happens to be the conference’s best chance at a National Championship this year. Alabama hosted LSU this Saturday and appeared to have adopted a new offensive scheme. Quarterback Jalen Milroe had a great game and helped lay the foundation for a Georgia vs. Alabama SEC championship matchup in a few weeks. The guys also reflect on the impact of this season on LSU and their fanbase as we are reaching the end of Brian Kelly’s second season with the program. The Pac-12’s biggest matchup of the week did not disappoint as Washington and USC dueled until the very end, resulting in a Washington victory and the dismissal of USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch on Sunday. USC star quarterback Caleb Williams was seen emotional after the game with his family, which sparks a very interesting point from Dan as to why he didn’t sit out the season. The final Bedlam matchup was a good one as Oklahoma State came out victorious over Oklahoma. The guys see this as a fitting end to the rivalry, with Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for the SEC next season. This result also leaves Texas as the only remaining Big 12 team to have a shot at CFP contention this season. Notre Dame received their third loss of the season to Clemson and a very fired up Dabo Swinney. The Fighting Irish continue to produce unpredictable games and seasons under Marcus Freeman. To close out the podcast, the guys give out their Small Sample Heisman awards & as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Connor Stalions fired at Michigan 27:10 - Alabama takes down LSU 36:14 - Alex Grinch fired by USC after Washington loss 43:48 - Oklahoma State takes the last Bedlam game vs. Oklahoma 47:30 - Notre Dame gets their third loss after losing to Clemson 50:00 - An Iowa professor left an interesting obituary 53:20 - Small Sample Heisman 57:31 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde reflect on the life and career of legendary men’s college basketball coach Bob Knight on today’s episode. The news of Bob Knight’s passing broke on Wednesday night, leaving the sports world crushed at the loss of a legendary figure. Knight helped innovate the sport and drew the attention of millions through his brash style and on-court success. The crew reflects on his career highs, including the last undefeated season in college basketball, his 902 career wins and the impact he had on the state of Indiana. The guys also recall Knight’s volatility and unique character traits that made him truly one-of-one in the purest definition of the phrase. Central Michigan’s lack of definitive comment regarding this week’s reporting that a figure resembling Conor Stalions was spotted on their sideline has led the crew to decide that Stalions was indeed stealing signs from Michigan State early in the year. The investigation continues for Michigan and Stalions, but the more that Dan, Pat & Ross learn about it, the more they have to conclude that no college coach would ever be on board with Stalions’ brash espionage tactics. The Big Ten held a coaches phone conference with commissioner Tony Petitti this week. Jim Harbaugh provided his statement, then left the call for other coaches to express their displeasure with the conference in reference to the sign-stealing scandal. The guys work through the most effective ways that the Big Ten can get through this sign-stealing investigation and keep their other member schools happy This weekend will be the last SEC on CBS doubleheader, so Ross details the inner workings as to why the two powerhouses brands will be making a split after this season. To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #23 ranked Kansas State Wildcats at the #7 ranked Texas Longhorns, the #12 ranked Missouri Tigers visiting the #2 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, the #9 ranked Oklahoma Sooners taking on the #22 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, the #5 ranked Washington Huskies at the #20 ranked USC Trojans, the #14 ranked LSU Tigers at the #8 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Legendary coach Bob Knight passed away 25:11 - Connor Stalions on the Central Michigan sideline 36:31 - Big Ten coaches angry in conference call with Tony Petitti 48:27 - Why SEC and CBS split 53:12 - Race for the Case: #23 Kansas State @ #7 Texas 57:05 - #12 Mizzou @ #2 Georgia 59:37 - #9 Oklahoma @ #22 Oklahoma State 1:02:47 - #5 Washington @ #20 USC 1:05:37 - #14 LSU @ #8 Alabama 1:07:34 - Locks of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the first edition of College Football Playoff rankings for the 2023 season. Ohio State comes in at the top spot in the first edition of 2023 CFP rankings after a strong resume through 9 weeks. The crew debates not on if they are unworthy of the #1 ranking, but rather when Georgia will make the jump up to the top spot. The Connor Stalions situation continues to amaze as new photos of a person resembling Stalions on the sidelines of the Central Michigan-Michigan State game have emerged. If the figure ends up proven to be Stalions attempting to steal signs, this may be one of the all-time scandals that the sport has ever seen. Alabama and LSU are squaring off this weekend in Tuscaloosa after a hard fought battle last season. This intense matchup could sink Alabama’s playoff hopes with an LSU win, but the guys aren’t quite ready to count out Nick Saban this season, especially in big SEC matchups. Missouri is facing off against #1 ranked Georgia this weekend, continuing a stretch of tough SEC opponents for the Bulldogs. The guys discuss Mizzou’s upside while acknowledging that in ranked matchups, Georgia tends to wake up and take command of games. The state of Iowa continues to misbehave as the Iowa Hawkeyes announced that offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz will not be returning to call plays next season. Amidst an incentive-laden contract that demanded 25 points per game and a very bad offensive output, the experiment has ended for Ferentz. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney had a fiery reaction to a caller on his radio show on Monday night. After the caller questioned Dabo’s contract in a down year, Swinney went on a 5 minute rant explaining the nature of football along with his perspective when fans react this way. In the final Oklahoma-Oklahoma State Bedlam matchup for a long time, Mike Gundy and Brian Bosworth exchanged words leading up to the game. Gundy recalls when the game used to be a true rivalry, while Bosworth is excited to send it out with a bang and meet up with Gundy ahead of their matchup on Saturday. Even though Oklahoma is leaving for the SEC, there doesn’t appear to be any love lost between the two schools. To close out the podcast, the Santa Cruz sea otter makes her triumphant return & the People’s Court takes on a case of the hungry firefighters. 1:00 - CFP rankings reaction 9:20 - Was Connor Stalions on the sidelines for Central Michigan vs. Michigan State? 17:10 - Alabama vs. LSU preview 25:14 - Mizzou faces off against Georgia 29:36 - Brian Ferentz will not be returning to Iowa 39:40 - Dabo Swinney sounds off on his radio show 50:04 - Final Bedlam matchup between Oklahoma & Oklahoma State 59:22 - Santa Cruz sea otter has returned with company 1:02:20 - People’s Court: Hungry firefighters Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 29, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down all the biggest games and upsets from Week 9 across the college football slate. In a shocking turn of events, the Kansas Jayhawks upset the #6 ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. Led by backup quarterback Jason Bean, the Jayhawks were able to win the duel in their last Big 12 matchup against the Sooners. The guys discuss the level of concern that Oklahoma fans should have after a close win against UCF last week and now a loss to Kansas on Saturday. Georgia cemented their status as top dog this weekend after crushing Florida for four full quarters. The Bulldogs were without star tight end Brock Bowers, but it didn’t seem like they missed a step. The National Championship appears to still run through Athens, Georgia as we approach November. In what was expected to be the best game of the week, Oregon went on the road and rolled right over the Utah Utes. The crew debates whether or not Oregon is the best team in the Pac-12 and if they can rise above the conference’s best to reach the College Football Playoff. Ohio State continues to chug along after beating Wisconsin on Saturday. The methodical offense, coupled with a strong defense gives the crew faith that this Buckeyes team will make a great opponent for Michigan at the end of the season. Louisville was able to shut out Duke at home this weekend, with Pat in attendance. Pat breaks down what makes this Cardinals team different, as well as detailing an incredibly unique experience with his car getting towed by Louisville campus parking services. To close out the pod, the guys give out their Small Sample Heisman & as always, Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Kansas upsets #6 Oklahoma 12:46 - Can Texas rise above the Big 12 madness? 14:50 - Georgia remains top dog in college football 22:26 - Oregon dominated Utah in Salt Lake City 29:45 - Ohio State’s vintage offense continues to win 42:16 - Louisville’s interesting car towing method 52:32 - Small Sample Heisman 57:00 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 26, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest Week 9 college football games against the spread in this week’s edition of Race for the Case . The slow drip of news from the Michigan sign-stealing scandal has been endlessly entertaining as more details continue to emerge about Connor Stalions and the scouting operation that he had going for Michigan. The largest questions still remain unanswered as we don’t yet know Jim Harbaugh’s involvement or how the initial tip-off was achieved. It seems like Harbaugh could be heading to the NFL if he had any involvement with the scandal, but the real penalty from this investigation is reputational. Michigan will be able to find another quality coach, but this scandal could brand the program as ‘cheaters’ for some time. Moving onto this weekend’s games, it isn’t the strongest slate of games for Week 9, but many matchups have a high interest level from the crew including Kansas vs. Oklahoma, Clemson vs. NC State & Ohio State vs. Wisconsin. In news of the weird, 2 million dimes were stolen from a truck & the Florida Man games will begin this February. To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs at the Florida Gators, the #8 ranked Oregon Ducks visiting the #13 ranked Utah Utes, the #20 ranked Duke Blue Devils traveling to the #18 ranked Louisville Cardinals, the Mississippi State Bulldogs at the Auburn Tigers, the Colorado Buffaloes taking on the #23 ranked UCLA Bruins, and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Michigan sign-stealing scandal continues to develop 26:08 - Most interesting games of the week 44:05 - 2 million dimes were stolen from a tractor trailer 49:04 - Florida group is holding a ‘Florida Man’ competition 51:05 - #1 Georgia @ Florida 52:50 - #8 Oregon @ #13 Utah 55:12 - #20 Duke @ #18 Louisville 56:25 - Mississippi State @ Auburn 58:43 - Colorado @ #23 UCLA 60:46 - Lock of the Week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 24, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde continue to dive into the latest details surrounding Connor Stalions’ involvement in the Michigan sign-stealing investigation. Ticket records for Connor Stalions have been brought to light and Michigan has been branded as ‘cheaters’ until further notice by the general college football public. The guys speculate how high up the reported signs went, who knew about them and what the eventual punishment for Michigan will be if the program is found to be guilty of breaking the rules. Quinn Ewers suffered an injury last week, making him a week-to-week decision to start at quarterback for Texas. We will have an opportunity to see the depth of the Longhorn signal-callers as both Arch Manning and Maalik Murphy have been getting first team reps this week and may see action this Saturday at home against BYU. Utah continues to impose their will on other members of the Pac-12 and the Utes are hoping to continue that trend against Oregon this weekend. The crew finds it fitting that in the last year of the Pac-12, the Utes have stayed on brand as the meat-grinder of the conference. The guys turn their focus to the latest from this summer’s wave of announced conference realignment maneuvers. Oregon State and Washington State are continuing to fight for Pac-12 assets that will remain once conference deserters UCLA, USC, Washington and Oregon have left. Additionally, the Big 12 could be looking to bolster their already great basketball league with the addition of Gonzaga. The crew discusses how Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman was able to turn the tables on a reporter, who coaches his son in flag football, in his latest press conference. Lastly, the podcast takes a deep dive into the latest potential Bigfoot sighting captured on video from a train in Wyoming. 1:00 - Latest on Connor Stalions’ sign-stealing operation at Michigan 33:34 - Who will start at QB for Texas this week? 36:46 - Utah continues to spoil seasons in the Pac-12 42:07 - Colorado is facing off against UCLA this weekend 43:22 - Latest in conference realignment 50:29 - Marcus Freeman flips the script on reporter 54:32 - Newest potential Bigfoot sighting Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 22, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down this weekend’s biggest games, upsets & news coming out of Week 8 in the college football season. Ohio State came out on top over Penn State in a highly anticipated Big Ten matchup. The crew questions whether James Franklin will ever be able to win the big game when it matters most. Meanwhile, Ohio State’s defense shined in this win making Penn State’s offense look disjointed and shaky. The Utah Utes took care of business by taking down USC in a big Pac-12 matchup. Lincoln Riley’s team is now effectively removed from College Football Playoff contention and the situation leaves USC fans wondering what could have been this season. With a pending move to the Big Ten, the guys suggest that Lincoln Riley needs to build a tougher team for the much tougher conference. Alabama and Nick Saban proved that they are still alive this year after crushing Tennessee at home. Great coaches find a way to win the tough games, and Saban showed that in the second half after trailing the Volunteers in the first. Michigan taking on Michigan State was a wild one. Aside from the 49-0 rout that Michigan delivered, the fan antics and scoreboard graphics provided a confusing environment. The Michigan sign stealing investigation has also progressed. Dan gives his theory as to what really took place with the alleged sign stealing and tries to provide some clarity to those still puzzled about what reporting the news actually entails. Iowa took a tough loss this week as a a punt return touchdown late in the 4th quarter was overturned after officials ruled a fair catch was signaled prior to the return. There may be hope for Mario Cristobal yet as Miami took a win over Dabo Swinney’s Clemson team. The Hurricanes will try to build off this momentum for the rest of the season heading into 2024. To close out the podcast, the guys provide their Small Sample Heisman candidates & play a around of Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Ohio State beats Penn State 15:00 - USC falls to Utah 27:31 - Michigan State’s tough night 33:55 - Michigan’s sign stealing investigation update 52:10 - Iowa loses on overturned punt return touchdown 58:10 - Clemson falls to Miami 1:01:35 - Small Sample Heisman 1:07:18 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 19, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast detailing new allegations around Jim Harbaugh in Michigan football, in which the NCAA is investigating the team illegally sending advance scouts to steal signs and gain other competitive advantages. Dan & Ross broke today’s blockbuster news, and while there are no rules against stealing signs in-game, there are rules about in-person scouting and sign stealing using electronic transmissions. The podcast reacts to the news and how this could add a cloud to Michigan’s current football season and stain seasons past. Pat wonders whether or not Michigan are high frequency cheaters or just really bad at getting away with it. While the narrative of the season has definitely changed for Michigan, the guys debate what the next move for Jim Harbaugh is if this investigation is proven to be accurate. Moving away from the Michigan scandal, Week 8 has some interesting games to keep an eye on. There is a big MAC matchup between Toledo & Miami of Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa are squaring off in an expected low-scoring affair & we get the Hugh Freeze bowl in a matchup between Auburn and Ole Miss. Meanwhile in Oklahoma, Tulsa is trying to break the world record for the world’s largest beer tasting event ahead of their game vs Rice. And where animal news meets football news, a Montana man was traumatized after being attacked by a grizzly bear and is channeling his anger towards the University of Montana. To close out the podcast, the guys give their picks against the spread for the #7 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions at the #3 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, the #17 ranked Tennessee Volunteers at the #11 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the #16 ranked Duke Blue Devils visiting the #4 ranked Florida State Seminoles, the #14 ranked Utah Utes at the #18 ranked USC Trojans, the Clemson Tigers at the Miami Hurricanes, and as always, Dan, Ross and Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Michigan is under investigation for alleged rule violations connected to sign stealing 25:04 - Most interesting games of the weekend 34:21 - Tulsa is trying to break the world record for the largest beer tasting event 36:10 - Man has developed serious hatred for the University of Montana after bear attack 38:23 - #7 Penn State @ #3 Ohio State 43:42 - #17 Tennessee @ #11 Alabama 46:26 - #16 Duke @ #4 Florida State 48:33 - #14 Utah @ #18 USC 51:00 - Clemson @ Miami 54:04 - Lock of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 18, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde take a look into this weekend’s most interesting game between Big Ten rivals Ohio State and Penn State before diving into a bevy of other college football news. Both Ryan Day and James Franklin need a win this weekend to keep their playoff hopes alive but the guys question which coach needs it more. James Franklin has yet to get his signature win at Penn State and beating Ohio State this year could give him just that. Ryan Day has been feeling the pressure after dropping two in a row to Michigan, and a loss to Penn State could put him on the hot seat for the Buckeye faithful. We get a rematch of one of last season’s craziest games on Saturday when Tennessee squares off with Alabama again. The tone of this game is different as neither team is equipped for another high-scoring affair, so the winning team needs do it in the trenches. The expectations for Alabama are significantly higher than Tennessee’s right now, so Nick Saban doesn’t want to lose two-in-a-row to the Volunteers. Georgia’s star tight end for Brock Bowers was injured in last week’s game against Vanderbilt. Bowers is expected to undergo ankle surgery in hopes to return to the team before the College Football Playoff. South Carolina coach Shane Beamer had an injury of his own this past weekend after kicking something that he shouldn’t have after losing a tight game to Florida and breaking a bone in his foot. The guys turn their focus to Dabo Swinney, who spoke out about the expectations that are put on the Clemson football team. Swinney doesn’t like that the perception that teams are losers if they’re not undefeated and hopes that a down-year can lighten up the Clemson bandwagon. After many successful seasons at Clemson, Dabo’s biggest problem seems to be that he was too successful in years past. The 10th Congressional NIL hearing took place on Tuesday and the guys tracked it intently. Ross was in attendance and got to report on the theatrics, as well as have a conversation with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, who believes that collective bargaining for student athletes may be coming sooner than we speak. The crew debates the pros and cons of having student athletes be considered employees and why this matter has even been elevated to the halls of congress. To close out the podcast, the world now has a new record for the spiciest pepper, as a report came out detailing the process of creating ‘Pepper X’ & the potentially dangerous aftermath of consuming it. 1:00 - Big Ten is back with Penn State vs. Ohio State 20:54 - Tennessee vs. Alabama 27:20 - Brock Bowers is out 4-6 weeks with ankle surgery 32:32 - Shane Beamer’s broken foot 34:25 - Dabo Swinney doesn’t appreciate the lofty expectations for Clemson football 37:40 - 10th Congressional NIL hearing took place Tuesday in Washington, DC 1:05:40 - New world record for hottest pepper Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 15, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to all of the major games that took place this weekend in college football as quite a handful of ranked teams suffered a loss on Saturday. The Washington Huskies took home a win in a game-of-the-year candidate against the Oregon Ducks. With all of the high-powered offensive fireworks, along with the in-conference rivalry, there was a lot to break down from the matchup. Dan Lanning’s decision-making on 4th downs confused the guys as his system has not worked well enough in close games against good opponents and a key turnover on downs gave the Washington offense a short field in the eventual game-winning drive. Marcus Freeman’s system worked against USC as the Fighting Irish took down the Trojans 48-20. USC was a mess in this game and Notre Dame took advantage of it by consistently turning over Caleb Williams and executing on special teams. The cream is starting to rise a bit in the SEC as Tennessee staved off Texas A&M, Alabama beat Arkansas, & Missouri took down Kentucky. The Colorado Buffaloes had a tough one on Friday night as they lost to Stanford after leading by as much as 29 points in the game. The guys determine that this is a loss where things could falls apart for the Buffs and that Coach Deion Sanders needs to get past this as soon as possible or Colorado could miss bowl season. The Iowa Hawkeyes went on the road and beat Wisconsin with punting, defense and 2 catches from wide receivers. Kirk Ferentz is simultaneously on the hottest and coldest seats in college football thanks to his 6-1 record, yet having an offense so bad that it could squander a championship-caliber defense. To the guys’ dismay, Grazer won Fat Bear Week with a record setting performance over runner-up Chunk. To close out the podcast, the guys give out their Small Sample Heisman candidates & play a round of Say Something Nice. 1:00 - Washington takes down Oregon 36-33 21:10 - Notre Dame stomps USC 48-20 29:25 - Around the SEC: Tennessee beats Texas A&M, Alabama holds off Arkansas 39:41 - Colorado blows a 29-point lead at home against Stanford 45:32 - Iowa Hawkeyes are rolling, defeat Wisconsin 51:07 - Fat Bear Week Championship 51:38 - Small Sample Heisman 54:38 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest college football matchups in week 7 against the spread in this week’s Race for the Case. Before their picks, the hosts break down the latest in the NCAA’s case against the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team as well as how it caused the IARP to shut down. After six years, a ruling on the five Level I infractions against Kansas has been determined and Bill Self is walking away unscathed. The IARP will be remembered as an abject failure as anyone who faced it went virtually unpunished. Dan provides his idea for what Charlie Baker should present to Congress next. A full restart and clean slate may be necessary for this new regime to try and earn some credibility. Week 7 has a bundle of interesting games so the pod decides to go through their favorite watches for the upcoming weekend, including the battle for the Big Ten West, the anniversary of a 0-0 regulation game & the matchup for first place in the Mountain West. The University of Washington’s new AD Troy Dannen made waves after being announced. Dannen decided to chirp Texas and Ohio State, stating that they should win more given the size of their annual budgets. To close out the show, the guys give their Race for the Case picks for the No. 8 Oregon Ducks at the No. 7 Washington Huskies, the Texas A&M Aggies at the No. 19 Tennessee Volunteers, the No. 10 USC Trojans @ the No. 21 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the No. 25 Miami Hurricanes at the No. 12 UNC Tarheels, the No. 18 UCLA Bruins at the No. 15 Oregon State Beavers, and as always, Dan, Ross and Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - Kansas vs. the NCAA 13:19 - What Charlie Baker should tell Congress 26:08 - The most interesting games of the weekend 42:27 - Washington’s new AD Troy Dannen talked some trash about budgets 44:25 - No. 8 Oregon at No. 7 Washington 47:29 - Texas A&M at No. 19 Tennessee 49:18 - No. 10 USC at No. 21 Notre Dame 52:30 - No. 25 Miami at No. 12 UNC 55:07 - No. 18 UCLA at No. 15 Oregon State 56:30 - Lock of the Week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 10, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde kick off the podcast breaking down Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops’s attempt to get more money in his program through NIL donations. On his radio show after a tough loss to Georgia, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops explains that Georgia has been able to buy more talented players due to their reservoir of NIL money. Stoops then attempts to urge Kentucky football fans to help out the program by donating to lure more talent onto the team. Is this a strategy more programs should employ, or is the request a bit tone deaf coming from a coach who is making $8 million a year? Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is looking to secure a new contract after taking a pay reduction in 2020. The guys debate whether or not Harbaugh should get the market value top coach contract. #8 ranked Oregon and #7 ranked Washington headline this weekend’s slate of games. Both teams are equipped with high-powered offenses and such an exciting match up will make fans yearn for more Pac-12 football after this year. More clarity has been provided following the Miami Hurricanes’ game-losing gaffe against Georgia Tech. Despite the scrutiny and madness centered around him, head coach Mario Cristobal took accountability and was also able to use the situation swing a recruit from Georgia to commit to Miami. Ross spent Saturday with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and details his takeaways afterwards. The guys reflect on Sankey’s reign as the SEC commissioner as well as what could be coming next for college athletics. To close out the podcast, it’s theFat Bear Week finals and the crew has decided to rally behind Chunk instead of the fraudulent Grazer. Also, in more food malfeasance news, Texas Pete comes out of its false advertising lawsuit unscathed. 1:00 - Mark Stoops wants Kentucky fans to give more money 16:08 - Will Jim Harbaugh get a new contract? 27:02 - Oregon vs Washington preview 40:16 - Mario Cristobal’s rollercoaster weekend in Miami 42:41 - Ross’s day with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey 54:57 - Fat Bear Week finals are upon us 60:11 - Texas Pete hot sauce lawsuit update Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down all the action that took place on a very hectic Saturday of college football. Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes lost in shocking fashion to Georgia Tech after a mind-boggling decision to not kneel out the game. Miami had the game locked up, but decided to run a play instead of taking a knee, prompting a fumble and a walk-off touchdown from Georgia Tech. Alabama shipped off to Texas to take on Texas A&M this Saturday. The Tide were able to leave with a victory & the pod breaks down how it happened as well as the discomfort from Texas A&M fans knowing that they could have stolen a big win. The Red River Rivalry returned and left us with a good one. The fellas discuss how good of a job Brent Venables has done since last year’s 49-0 drubbing. The Sooners picked up a big win and made the rest of the season much harder for the Longhorns. Notre Dame appears to have lost its footing as it was upset by Louisville this weekend. Jeff Brohm has done a tremendous job so far and has the Louisville program humming. Notre Dame can’t seem to figure out who it wants to be yet after falling to 5-2 overall. USC was lucky to escape with a win against a fired-up Arizona team. The USC offense was not clicking & the defense seems to be regressing every week. The state of Iowa had a good time this weekend as the Hawkeyes got another win to move to 5-1 & the Cyclones decided to have an interesting dinosaur-themed field performance. The Fat Bear Week committee has been called into question by Dan, as his pick 747 was eliminated from the bracket by Grazer. To close out the pod, the guys Say Something Nice & give out their Small Sample Heisman candidates. 1:00 - Miami declines to kneel out the win, loses to Georgia Tech 14:07 - Alabama edges out Texas A&M 24:34 - Oklahoma wins the Red River Rivalry 36:13 - Louisville upsets Notre Dame 41:06 - USC beats Arizona in triple-overtime 46:22 - The state of Iowa had a big weekend 51:48 - The Fat Bear Week scandal 55:22 - Small Sample Heisman 59:57 - Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest Week 6 college football matchups against the spread in this week’s Race for the Case. Ahead of their official picks, the hosts give an in-depth preview of the big matchup between Alabama and Texas A&M. The old beef between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban has evolved interestingly over the years. Which coach needs a win more in this matchup? Week 6 has some very interesting games, even if they all aren’t ranked matchups, so the guys snake draft their favorites and Ross shares his least watchable game of the week. In Texas-Oklahoma news, one of the show’s many helpful listeners has provided more context to the infamous Red River Rivalry bar brawl that left one man with 60 stitches. A sophomore at Oregon is causing a stir due to his emotional support duck that he brought into the Colorado-Oregon game with him. “Quacktavius” the duck is now a pressing matter in Eugene, as many fans are trying to get the duck permission to attend the games, while campus security and the stadium police department have attempted to have the duck removed from official athletic events. Fat Bear Week returns, so the hosts make their official selections for which bear in the Katmai National Park will gain the most weight ahead of hibernation season. To close out the show, the guys give their Race for the Case picks for the #12 ranked Oklahoma Sooners at the #3 ranked Texas Longhorns, the #23 ranked LSU Tigers at the #21 ranked Missouri Tigers, the Maryland Terrapins visiting the #4 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, the #11 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide at the Texas A&M Aggies, the #20 ranked Kentucky Wildcats against the #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, and as always, Dan, Ross, & Pat give their locks of the week. 0:00 - Introduction 1:00 - Alabama vs. Texas A&M preview 23:33 - Most (and least) interesting games of Week 6 38:00 - Red River Rivalry bar fight update 43:30 - Oregon sophomore’s emotional support duck 48:53 - Fat Bear Week has opened up 53:26 - #12 Oklahoma @ #3 Texas 57:41 - #23 LSU @ #21 Missouri 1:00:20 - Maryland @ #4 Ohio State 1:02:53 - #11 Alabama @ Texas A&M 1:04:58 - #20 Kentucky @ #1 Georgia 1:07:56 - Lock of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde determine who needs a win more in the last Big 12 occurrence of the Red River Rivalry game. Texas and Oklahoma hold the title of the biggest matchup of the weekend. The historic Red River Rivalry gets its Big 12 sendoff with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey expected to be in attendance, possibly to get a look at his two newest programs. The guys debate which team has more at stake in this game: Texas has a legitimate chance at a national title, with no clear buzzsaw in the SEC to stop them, whereas Oklahoma is trying to carry some momentum into the SEC next year and a big win against #3 ranked Texas could give them just that. There are plenty of unexpected teams that are 5-0 through September so the guys decide to highlight them and note what they have done well so far. Mike Locksley seems to have his best team yet at Maryland as the Terrapins are undefeated going into October. The Miami Hurricanes have been cruising so far, but they have a tough stretch coming up, so Mario Cristobal needs to keep them sharp. Louisville has been reaping the benefits of their transfer portal additions this offseason as Jeff Brohm has the Cardinals rolling. Eli Drinkwitz has been able to utilize NIL incentives to field a strong team in Missouri, who could send LSU into a bad spiral quickly with a win this weekend. The Texas State Fair has returned with a new menu filled with some interesting foods, so the show plays another game of Would You Eat It? Items ranging from deep-fried sushi to cereal-coated pickles highlight this year’s offerings. Ole Miss had to pay LSU $100,000 for fans storming the field after their game in Baton Rouge last weekend. The guys don’t see that amount of money becoming a huge deterrent from stopping passionate and inebriated fans from celebrating on the field. Lastly, a major saga in fast food gets a resolution as a US District Court Judge provides a verdict on the possible false advertising lawsuit against McDonald’s & Wendy’s. 1:00 - Who needs to win the Red River Rivalry the most: Texas or Oklahoma? 22:13 - Unexpectedly undefeated teams: Maryland, Miami, Louisville & Missouri 42:29 - Would you eat it: Texas State Fair edition 51:34 - Ole Miss was fined $100,000 for storming the field vs. LSU 55:18 - A verdict in the McDonalds & Wendy’s lawsuit Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Oct 1, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde review the loaded slate of Week 5 college football games on today’s podcast. To kick things off, Notre Dame gets a solid bounce-back win against Duke. The Fighting Irish have played in back-to-back rollercoaster games, but come out on top in this one after losing in the final seconds last week to Ohio State. The Georgia Bulldogs had to lean heavily on star tight end Brock Bowers in order to beat Auburn on Saturday. Auburn showed up to play and made Georgia look a little more vulnerable than everyone projected. Kentucky had a dominant win over Florida behind Ray Davis’s 280-yard performance on the ground. The podcast imagines how Florida fans must be feeling after seeing other programs rebuild so quickly while trying to remain patient under the Billy Napier regime. The SEC is a mess this year and there is no clear favorite to win the west division. The guys analyze who could come out on top at the end of the season and separate from the rest of the pack. Ole Miss won in an epic shootout against LSU on Saturday. The Rebels took advantage of LSU’s weak secondary and put Brian Kelly on the warm seat in Baton Rouge. Caleb Williams dominated in a big win over Colorado. Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes tried to climb back in it, but the USC offense just couldn’t be stopped. The USC defense, on the other hand, raises a lot of questions about whether or not they can really compete for a title. The Red River rivalry returns next week with a now 5-0 Texas Longhorns team facing off against a 5-0 Oklahoma Sooners team. This should be the game of the week, so the guys look ahead as the two teams face off for the final time as members of the Big 12. In other news, Dan, Ross & Pat reflect on the infamous murder of Tupac Shakur 27 years ago, and the arrest of his alleged killer Duane “Keffe D” Davis this week in Las Vegas. To close out the episode, the guys provide a Brian Ferentz scoring update, give thoughts on a sleepy Penn State team, they Say Something Nice & give out their S mall Sample Heisman candidates. 1:00 - Notre Dame bounces back to beat Duke 6:15 - Georgia edges out Auburn 11:47 - Kentucky cruises past Florida 16:40 - Who will win the SEC West? 20:47 - LSU falls to Ole Miss in a thriller 25:38 - Is USC’s defense a liability? 31:37 - The Red River Rivalry returns next week 38:50 - West Virginia is heating up after beating TCU 42:19 - Tupac Shakur’s killer is identified and charged after 27-year mystery 48:08 - Iowa’s Brian Ferentz scoring update 49:29 - Did Clemson restore any faith after beating Syracuse? 50:35 - Penn State looked shaky vs. Northwestern 52:15 - Say Something Nice 58:13 - Small Sample Heisman Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Sep 28, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest Week 5 matchups in college football against the spread in this week’s Race for the Case. Before making their official picks, the guys dive back into the Ryan Day vs. Lou Holtz saga. Ryan Day’s post-game outburst after beating Notre Dame seems to be stemming from a place other than Lou Holtz. The guys settle on one thing: if Ohio State wants to stop hearing comments about how they lose to more physical teams, they need to start by beating Michigan this year. Later, the guys run through a handful of make-or-break SEC games that will undoubtedly affect the chase for the playoffs now that October is right around the corner. Colorado coach Deion Sanders spoke in a press conference this week and was asked about cornerback Cormani McClain’s lack of playing time. Coach Prime opened up and explained that McClain hasn’t prepared himself enough to garner more snaps on the field. The crew is taken aback by Sanders’ honesty, as not many college football coaches will explicitly say that their 5-star recruit hasn’t applied himself enough. Ross provides an update from the latest College Football Playoff meetings, along with an update on the possibility of Army joining the American Athletic Conference in the future. The People’s Court returns with two cases: first, did New Mexico State QB Diego Pavia urinate on the practice field logo of in-state rival New Mexico? Secondly, the guys go through details a man being denied entry to a Philadelphia Phillies game due to his emotional support alligator. To close out the podcast, the guys give their Race for the Case picks for the #10 ranked Utah Utes at the #19 ranked Oregon State Beavers, the #8 ranked USC Trojans at the Colorado Buffaloes, the #1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs at the Auburn Tigers, the #13 ranked LSU Tigers at the #20 ranked Ole Miss Rebels, the #11 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the #17 ranked Duke Blue Devils, and as always, Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 - What was behind the Ryan Day v Lou Holtz beef? 16:44 - Make-or-break games for the SEC 29:01 - Deion Sanders’ comments on Cormani McClain 43:10 - Army could be moving to the American Athletic Conference 51:05 - The People’s Court: field urination & emotional support alligators 59:52 - #10 Utah @ #19 Oregon State 1:02:15 - #8 USC @ Colorado 1:04:38 - #1 Georgia @ Auburn 1:07:25 - #13 LSU @ #20 Ole Miss 1:08:35 - #11 Notre Dame @ #17 Duke 1:11:20 - Lock of the week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to Marcus Freeman’s explanation of his coaching gaffe versus Ohio State last Saturday and preview Notre Dame’s upcoming matchup with Duke. After a tough loss to Ohio State last weekend, Notre Dame is looking to bounce back. With playoff hopes still alive, the Fighting Irish have to stave off an athletic and well-coached Duke football program. Duke’s Riley Leonard and Mike Elko have been strong this season and the Blue Devils could be very well playing for the ACC championship late in the season with this squad. This week’s Big Ten football slate is a good example of why TV executives and the conference wanted to expand. The uninspiring matchups should be reduced with new exciting teams entering the conference, but the show questions why the mid-level Big Ten teams wanted the expansion while knowing their fate would be to relegated out of these major nationally televised matchups. Florida State was ranked #5 in this week’s AP poll. The guys debate this ranking as FSU has had the best resume through 4 weeks of college football, while Georgia and Michigan have yet to play a worthy opponent to earn a top-2 spot. Ross is attending College Football Playoff meetings this week as the committee decides how they want to handle automatic bids for the expanded 12-team playoff. Group of Five commissioners obviously want 6 automatic bids, while the Power Five is interested in getting more of their teams in the bracket. How will the future of the tournament shake out? Oregon football released a movie-style recap of their win over Colorado. In the video, Ducks coach Dan Lanning stated, “I’ve never seen a redwood stand alone,” leading the podcast down the botany rabbit hole. This week, Dan constructed the 12-team playoff bracket as if it were in effect this season. The major players involved would make the games fantastic, but the neutral site bowls in the second-round could still detract from the true feeling of the sport. Lastly, a new national champion was crowned from Texas Tech: Cletus Johnson in something known as blade sport. 1:00 - Duke vs. Notre Dame preview 17:27 - NBC is struggling with good Big Ten Matchups 22:17 - Should Florida State be ranked #1? 28:39 - How many automatic bids should the future playoff have? 39:00 - Oregon coach Dan Lanning makes us ask: Can redwoods stand alone? 44:24 - What a 12-team playoff would look like right now 49:00- Can Kentucky fans be ready for a noon kickoff? 50:11- Texas Tech wins the blade sport national championship Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Sep 25, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde review a conflict-filled week of college football. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hosted the Ohio State Buckeyes in an incredibly tough game that went down to the wire. Ohio State pulled off the win on the very last play of the game, partially due to a Marcus Freeman oversight, and let the world know about it. After receiving some criticism from Lou Holtz, Ryan Day fired back at the legendary coach in his postgame interview, leaving the guys in awe. Florida State was able to get past Clemson in overtime on Saturday. The Seminoles defense showed up when they needed it thanks in part to their transfer portal star recruit Keon Coleman, who caught the game-winning touchdown. Coach Deion Sanders and Colorado traveled up to Eugene and left with a bad taste in their mouths after losing 42-6 to the Oregon Ducks. The guys provide their thoughts on the lack of Colorado offense as well as Dan Lanning’s passionate pregame speech about the Buffs. The battle of the Pac-2 came down to the wire as Washington State held off a feverish comeback from Oregon State on the back of quarterback Cam Ward. Washington State head coach had words for Lee Corso, after believing that the College Football Gameday host had called the game “nobody watches bowl” instead of the intended “nobody wants them bowl.” Texas A&M had a big win against Auburn, holding the Hugh Freeze-led offense to under 200 total yards with a suffocating defensive performance. Alabama took care of business and made the Lane Kiffin-led Ole Miss Rebels look like they were being led by Lane Kiffin. Alabama’s meat and potatoes approach wore down Ole Miss and surely hindered their hopes for a playoff berth as well. Penn State looked very sharp against Iowa, leaving them scoreless in a 41-0 drubbing in Happy Valley. To close out the show, the show provides their Innovative Play of the Week , they Say Something Nice and gives out their Small Sample Heisman candidates. 1:00 Ohio State vs Notre Dame & Lou Holtz 19:00 Florida States edges out Clemson in overtime 23:02 Oregon beats Colorado 42-6 29:48 Washington State defeats Oregon State 38-35 34:42 Texas A&M looks sharp vs Auburn 38:00 Alabama responds against Ole Miss 41:52 Penn State won in dominating fashion over Iowa 45:17 The Innovative Play of the Weekend 47:28 Say Something Nice 53:22 Small Sample Heisman Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger 🖥️ Watch this full episode on YouTube Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Sep 21, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick the biggest Week 4 college football games against the spread in this week’s Race for the Case episode. Before they get to the games, the podcast reflects on the massive ratings number that the Colorado State/Colorado game drew on ESPN last Saturday night. The game eclipsed 9 million viewers so the guys determine whether Colorado can keep that viewership up and how long the Coach Prime effect can last. In new meetings, the Pac-12 has been exploring the option of creating a relegation-style football conference. The popular format used in European soccer has excited American fans for years, and the guys wonder how it would operate in football. Congress met this week to discuss revenue sharing within college athletics and our very own Ross was in attendance. Dan and Pat commend Ross for his wardrobe choice and believe it exemplified the podcast and college football itself. This weekend is not for apple picking as the slate of games is packed. The show performs a lightning-round of the games that you will want to keep your eyes on if you’re looking for top-notch college action outside of the ranked matchups. In Race for the Case the guys make their picks as the #4 ranked Florida State Seminoles take on the Clemson Tigers, the #19 ranked Colorado Buffaloes visit the #10 ranked Oregon Ducks, the #15 ranked Ole Miss Rebels travel to the #13 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, the #14 ranked Oregon State Beavers visit the #21 ranked Washington State Cougars, the #6 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes take on the #9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and as always Dan, Ross & Pat give their locks of the week. 1:00 Colorado vs Colorado State amassed 9.3 million viewers 16:28 The Pac-2 is considering a relegation style conference 24:49 Congress meets over revenue sharing 31:35 Fascinating games lightning round 44:40 #4 FSU @ Clemson 46:55 #19 Colorado @ #10 Oregon 49:25 #14 Oregon State @ #21 Washington State 51:10 #15 Ole Miss @ #13 Alabama 53:50 #6 Ohio State @ #9 Notre Dame 57:55 Lock of the Week Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Sep 19, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde examine the biggest powerhouse matchups for this coming weekend of college football action. The rising Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be facing off with the #6 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. This has the potential to be a career-defining game for Marcus Freeman as a win could push him out of Brian Kelly’s shadow. The #10 ranked Oregon Ducks are hosting the #19 ranked Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday in a big Pac-12 matchup. With the latest news of Travis Hunter’s injury sidelining him for the next 3-4 weeks, the guys believe the Ducks may be too much to handle for Colorado. Lane Kiffin isn’t heading into Alabama quietly as the Ole Miss head coach pulled off two troll jobs on the Crimson Tide already. Kiffin started stirring the pot by stating that he had a source in Tuscaloosa who told him that Alabama defensive coordinator Kevin Steele was not calling the plays for Alabama’s defense. This statement earned a quick response from Nick Saban, who rejected the claim. Kiffin also posted a video of Taylor Swift performing her song ‘Castles Crumbling’. The song has lyrics indicative of a power falling from grace and the end of a dynasty. Another shot at Saban and a not as dominant Alabama squad? The ACC has a huge matchup this weekend between #4 ranked Florida State and Clemson. The show notes that this could be the chance for Mike Norvell and Florida State to finally get back to the top of the ACC by taking down Clemson. In the Big Ten, Michigan State has announced that they are starting the process of firing head football coach Mel Tucker, following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a female staff member. Pat & Dan dive back into the saga and believe that this will truly be the end of Tucker at MSU. Lastly, the People’s Court takes on a case surrounding a Florida Man, an excavator and a Walmart. 1:00 Notre Dame vs Ohio State 16:35 Colorado heads to Oregon this weekend 26:55 Lane Kiffin’s latest trolling 43:04 Florida State vs Clemson 50:00 Michigan State is in the process of firing Mel Tucker 51:57 The People’s Court Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Sep 17, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde recap all of the action that took place this weekend in college football. Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes won a shootout against in-state rival Colorado State. The podcast dives into the pre-game chippiness along with the impact that Shedeur Sanders makes on the Buffaloes offense. The Tennessee Volunteers left Florida with a bad taste in their mouth after getting upset by the Florida Gators. The sloppy Tennessee offense couldn’t keep up with Billy Napier’s squad and gave Napier his first signature win as the Florida coach. Alabama beat USF this weekend, but did not look very good doing it. The QB rotation of Tyler Buchner and Ty Simpson could not score or move the ball very effectively, leading the show to question what the best move going forward is for the Crimson Tide. In other games, the Georgia Bulldogs looked a bit more human this week vs South Carolina. The departure of Todd Monken and Stetson Bennett seems to be taking more of an impact than expected. Also, the West Virginia Mountaineers defended their home turf this week against Pitt in the Backward Brawl. Next, Fresno State receives praise from the guys after beating Arizona State 29-0. The Bulldogs are now the only team to have two wins against ranked teams on the road this season. Back in Iowa, Brian Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes put up big numbers against Western Michigan. After the 41-point performance, Iowa’s offense is averaging over 25 points per game and Ferentz’ much-publicized contract incentives appear to be on-track. To close out the podcast, the guys give their Innovative Play of the Week, dole out their Small Sample Heisman candidates & play a around of Say Something Nice. 1:00 Colorado edges past Colorado State in double overtime 14:51 Florida stuns Tennessee in the swamp 23:30 Alabama’s QB woes 28:55 Georgia comes out victorious vs South Carolina 31:03 West Virginia wins the backyard brawl 34:08 Fresno State needs to be ranked high 37:36 Iowa and Brian Ferentz put 41 points on Western Michigan 41:14 Fascinating scores in week 3 43:55 Innovative Plays of the Week 46:18 Standout performances from the weekend 49:16 Small Sample Heisman 52:54 Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Sep 14, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde pick their favorite college football Week 3 games against the spread in this week’s Race for the Case . Before their official picks, the show dives into the details of UNC’s Tez Walker’s appeal for NCAA eligibility this season. After Walker’s appeal was denied, UNC head coach Mack Brown spoke out against the NCAA and the rules that are preventing Walker from suiting up this season. Alabama is playing USF this weekend in a rare Power Five vs. Group of Five matchup in Tampa Bay. The Crimson Tide aren’t strangers to games in Florida & the guys hope that fans can get more interesting matchups like this in the future. Ahead of the next wave of realignment, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum stated that Florida State is not on the SEC’s wishlist of schools to add to their conference.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to Mel Tucker’s response to the Title IX investigation and predict possible successors in the event that Tucker is let go from the Spartans. Michigan State’s Mel Tucker responded to the news surrounding his Title IX investigation and had a different stance than Brenda Tracy, the woman who he is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with. The guys still believe there is little to no chance that Tucker returns to Michigan State, so they go through possible candidates looking to make a splash in the Big Ten. With all the negativity from coaches and athletic directors in regards to NIL and the transfer portal, Dan decides to do some research and see if it’s impacting parity within college football. Dan explains that the top recruits in the nation are increasingly going to a wider variety of programs and the guys figure the phenomenon stems from universities’ desires for star players and athletes’ desires for earlier playing time. Week 3 of college football has an odd slate of games, and weeks like this will only increase due to scheduling stubbornness and trying to beat the bottom line. The guys share frustration that the Louisville and Indiana series will only take place this year due to Indiana backing out to play an additional home game vs Indiana State. The Pac-2 (Oregon State and Washington State) is suing the rest of the former Pac-12 to try and prevent them from a majority vote on the final details regarding their departure. There is another hearing expected in October to determine whether or not the schools that are leaving the conference will be able to have a say in the final matters. Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh had a big day off on Saturday. The crew revels in his lawn care routine along with a Harbaugh-esque speech he gave to a youth football team. Lastly, the People’s Court returns as Burger King is being sued over a disparity in size between their actual Whopper sandwich and the advertisements shown in restaurants. 1:00 Who should replace Mel Tucker? 21:24 The transfer portal is helping create parity 40:50 Week 3’s odd slate of games 50:17 Jim Harbaugh’s day off 52:50 The Pac-2 files a lawsuit against the quitters 59:50 The People’s Court Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde run through all of the biggest college football games from Week 2 along with the latest from the Mel Tucker scandal at Michigan State. Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker has ended up in a Title IX investigation after information surfaced about a possible inappropriate relationship with a colleague at Michigan State. The guys examine the details of the possible misconduct & provide their analysis of where Michigan State and Mel Tucker should go from here. The Texas Longhorns made a trip to Tuscaloosa to play the Alabama Crimson Tide and walked out with a convincing win. Steve Sarkisian & company were effective in all phases of the game and shocked the college football world with a 34-24 victory. Coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes kept the train rolling after beating Nebraska on Saturday to advance to 2-0. While Nebraska played disciplined defense, the Cornhuskers couldn’t keep up with Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and the rest of this new-look Buffaloes team under Coach prime. Mario Cristobal had the Miami Hurricanes ready for action on Saturday as they trounced Texas A&M, thanks to a five touchdown performance from QB Tyler Van Dyke. Could this Miami squad be competing for an ACC title this season? The guys weigh the possibility. Notre Dame continues to look sharp after blowing out NC State 45-24. Even after a long weather delay, the Fighting Irish were able to stay hot and make the case that they’re a legitimate championship contender. Iowa and Brian Ferentz were able to beat Iowa State this week, but the Hawkeyes have still yet to eclipse 25 points per game so far this season. The guys question if Ferentz will be able to get the program over the coveted 25 points per game threshold to unlock his contract. Closing out the show, the crew shares their Innovative Play of the Week, Small Sample Heisman & play a round of Say Something Nice. 1:00 Mel Tucker could be out at Michigan State 15:56 Texas upsets Alabama 27:38 Colorado crushes Nebraska 35:00 The Miami Hurricanes ripped through Texas A&M 41:03 Notre Dame guts out a big win vs NC State 43:14 Brian Ferentz points tracker 45:00 The Innovative Play of the Week 47:15 Small Sample Heisman 51:00 Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their picks against the spread for the biggest college football games in Week 2. To start the podcast, the guys discuss the upcoming matchup between Nebraska and Colorado. How many snaps Travis Hunter can realistically play? How can Nebraska leave Boulder with a win over the surprisingly 1-0 Buffaloes? In a recent GQ feature about his son, Carl Williams, father of USC quarterback Caleb Williams, stated that his son may not want to play for a dysfunctional team in the NFL. Carl Williams also believes that the draft system in the NFL is completely backwards and notes the possibility of Caleb returning to USC in hopes of landing on a more desirable NFL team in 2025. The guys later turn their sights towards coaching salaries. A new study shows rising pay for coaching staffs is soon to push past a tipping point, wherein salaries for the coaches alone will soon exceed how much universities are spending for their athletic programs in total. Dan, Ross & Pat wonder how coaches can keep on complaining about this sport while their bank accounts trend in a skyward direction Moving onto the intersection of conference realignment and cold hard cash, SMU’s boosters have bought them into the ACC with remarkable confidence. In a meeting with Jim Phillips, the Texas tycoons showed that they have the means to join the conference without receiving any TV money for the next 9 years. To close out the show, the crew shares their picks in Race for the Case . This week features matchups between the #10 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the NC State Wolfpack, the Nebraska Cornhuskers visiting the #22 ranked Colorado Buffaloes, the #20 ranked Ole Miss Rebels at the #22 ranked Tulane Green Wave, the #23 ranked Texas A&M Aggies at the Miami Hurricanes, the #11 ranked Texas Longhorns at the #3 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and as always, the guys close out with their locks of the week. 1:00 Can Travis Hunter sustain his high snap amount? 9:40 Caleb Williams may stay at USC if the team with the #1 draft pick is dysfunctional 17:30 A new study shows the payment for football coaches at colleges will exceed all athletic scholarships at a school 27:58 SMU is giving up ACC revenue & will be booster funded for 9 years 35:50 #10 Notre Dame @ NC State 37:27 Nebraska @ #22 Colorado 38:35 #20 Ole Miss @ #22 Tulane 40:15 #23 Texas A&M @ Miami 42:02 #11 Texas @ #3 Alabama 43:43 Locks of the week 47:45 The Daily Mail has stayed on the nightmare flight trail Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde highlight the biggest matchups in Week 2 of college football including Alabama vs. Texas, Texas A&M vs. Miami, & Colorado vs. Nebraska. To kick off the podcast, former colleagues go to battle this Saturday in Tuscaloosa as Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide host Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns. Can Texas pull off the upset? Will Alabama relegate Texas’ marching band to the nosebleed section? We will find out for sure on Saturday. In other big Saturday matchups, Texas A&M squares off against Miami in a true ladder game, while recently-ranked Colorado hosts Nebraska this weekend. The guys question why Colorado is ranked so low and what more they need to do in order to climb up the national polls. In the final game of Week 1, the Duke Blue Devils upset the #9 ranked Clemson Tigers, shocking the college football world. The show debates who is at fault for Clemson’s stumble while crediting Duke for being much improved over the last two seasons. LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly has recently denied that he claimed LSU would beat FSU, although audio from his radio show proves otherwise, leading to a very confusing denial. Later in the show, Dan bestows a new theme song onto the remaining members of the Pac-2 in the hopes they can find a new home. Also, Purdue made waves by losing to Fresno State last weekend, but they may have bounced back after being able to create the world’s smallest drum. Lastly, a flight from Atlanta to Barcelona had to be turned around after an unfortunate mid-flight accident. 1:00 Alabama vs Texas preview 14:53 Texas A&M vs Miami 19:25 Colorado is hosting Nebraska this weekend 27:13 #9 Clemson gets upset by Duke 33:27 Brian Kelly is denying that he said LSU would beat FSU 38:16 The new Pac-2 theme song 41:08 Some coaches are upset with the new clock rules in college football 46:00 The scripture update 48:11 Purdue is acting up again 49:47 The nightmare flight from Atlanta to Barcelona Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde lead off a special Labor Day edition of the College Football Enquirer with thoughts on all the biggest games and stories to come out of Week 1. On Sunday night, the Florida State Seminoles faced off against the LSU Tigers in Orlando. The most anticipated matchup of Week 1 turned out to be a classic drubbing by the end of the game, as Florida State handled business, leaving Brian Kelly and company wondering what they need to do to bounce back from this early season loss. Big things are happening in Boulder as Coach Deion Sanders led the Buffaloes into battle against TCU to get their first win of the season. Travis Hunter & Shedeur Sanders proved that this Colorado team is here to compete after their dynamic performances in this major Week 1 upset. The SEC had a tough Week 1 as the conference ended up 1-3 vs Power Five opponents. Tennessee took the sole victory over Virginia, but Florida, South Carolina & LSU dropped their first games. The guys discuss how strong this conference will be this season top to bottom. Further north, the Big Ten looked sharp this weekend as Penn State, Ohio State & Michigan all picked up wins to open their seasons. The guys were impressed by Penn State’s Drew Allar, had some concerns for Ohio State’s Kyle McCord and mixed reviews for Michigan’s tribute to Jim Harbaugh. To close out the podcast, the crew wraps up with a trio of segments: Innovative Plays of the Week, Small Sample Heisman & Say Something Nice. 1:00 Florida State beats LSU 16:15 Colorado & Coach Prime take down TCU 29:30 The SEC went 1-3 vs P-5 opponents this weekend 38:08 Latest from the Big Ten 44:31 College football roundabout 48:37 An update on Howdy Doody the bull 52:05 The Innovative play of the week 55:00 Small Sample Heisman 1:01:30 Say Something Nice Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde make their picks against the spread for the biggest games of Week 1 of the college football season. To kick off the pod, Ross gives us an update on the latest from the yearly College Football Playoff meetings in Dallas. The guys dive into how the structure of the expanded playoff must include automatic bids in order to preserve the importance of the regular season, along with how the ACC/Big Ten/Pac-12 “Alliance” got to this point. Nebraska has had a huge week in the news – some good, some bad. First, the school set an attendance record for a women’s volleyball game at home against Omaha. Then, Nebraska football player Arik Gilbert was arrested after allegedly robbing a liquor store. But for Dan, Ross & Pat, the coup de grâce for Nebraska came after a man was pulled over driving with a full-sized bull riding shotgun. South Alabama and Tulane face off this week in the “Battle for Mardi Gras,” and the guys dive into which team should have the title of the true Mardi Gras originators. Wrapping up the show, the “Race for the Case” is back. The guys make their picks, leading off with the Florida Gators visiting the #14 ranked Utah Utes. Next, the Colorado Buffaloes face off at the #17 ranked TCU Horned Frogs in Coach Prime’s Power Five debut. The Battle of the Carolinas takes place this weekend between the #21 ranked UNC Tarheels and South Carolina Gamecocks in Charlotte, NC.

Aug 30, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde get you ready for Week 1 of the college football season by breaking down the biggest stories ahead of kickoff. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has yet to release the team’s official Week 1 depth chart, frustrating fans and pundits across the nation. The savvy coach may be withholding as much information as possible as to not give the Texas Longhorns a head start on game planning for the Crimson Tide. Deion Sanders makes his first Power FIve coaching debut this weekend as Colorado faces TCU in their opener. Coach Prime is no stranger to the bright lights and is bringing his luggage and confidence with him to Fort Worth for what will undoubtedly be a much scrutinized premiere against the Horned Frogs. The guys do their due diligence and provide their official playoff picks before the season gets underway. This final year of the four-team playoff is expected to be a doozy with high levels of competition in the Big Ten, SEC & Pac-12. Houston coach Dana Holgorson didn’t mince words when discussing the departure of Texas and Texas A&M from the Big 12. Holgorson believes those two schools kept the Cougars out of the conference for decades. The ACC still hasn’t made a decision on the addition of Stanford and Cal, but they did pair up with movie theaters in an agreement to show games on the big screen. In Iowa news, Brian Ferentz’s updated contract begins this week. Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes need to average 25 points per game and 7 wins for Ferentz to achieve the full financial benefits of his contract. Can the Hawkeyes do it? Lastly, in news of the weird, the US may be following an egregious health initiative established by Canada. 1:00 Nick Saban won’t release a depth chart 10:42 Coach Prime’s P-5 debut 18:58 The pod’s official playoff picks 25:18 Dana Holgorsen had words for Texas & Texas A&M 27:41 ACC realignment check in 34:40 The ACC will show football games in movie theaters. 38:32 Brian Ferentz’s new contract begins this week 45:31 The truth about the Iowa butter cow 47:58 Off the radar games you’re excited about 52:47 The US may begin to follow Canada’s drink guidelines Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde provide their takeaways and thoughts from Week 0 of the college football season. Notre Dame got off to a hot start with a drubbing of Navy behind new signal caller Sam Hartman. The Wake Forest transfer lived up to the hype and the Fighting Irish finally have a quarterback that they can depend on again. USC faced off against San Jose State this weekend for their first game of the season. The Trojans won by a solid margin, but their defense quickly drew irritation from fans. The podcast speculates how this USC team will fare against teams that are strong in the trenches or play a particularly physical style of football. It looks as if the ACC could add Stanford and Cal soon after ACC commissioner Jim Phillips and his team constructed new financial plans in the event that the conference expands. If this takes place, the Pac-4 will turn into the Pac-2 with Oregon State and Washington State remaining unclaimed by the other power conferences. The guys discuss if it’s likely they’ll join the Mountain West or the American Athletic Conference. Arizona State has self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2023 season, leaving many shocked. After recruiting infractions under head coach Herm Edwards, it looked like the hammer was about to drop. The regime at Arizona State decided that for the first year under Kenny Dillingham, they will punish themselves before the NCAA has a chance to levy a harsher punishment. The LSU Tigers have a huge Week 1 matchup against the Florida State Seminoles, so the show dives into what we can expect from Brian Kelly’s team in year two. Miami of Ohio and the University of Miami face off in Week 1, which prompts a debate as to which Miami school should be the true Miami in college football. Wrapping up the show, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark attended a Texas Tech booster club dinner and let the nation know that he wants to see Texas Tech beat Texas this year as a proper send-off to the Longhorns from the Big 12. 1:00 Sam Hartman impressed in his first game at Notre Dame 8:55 Does USC have an issue on defense already? 15:49 The Pac-4 remnants 24:34 What do Washington State & Oregon State do? 30:43 Arizona State self imposes a 1-year bowl ban 40:13 LSU opens their season against Florida State 48:19 The battle of Miami 51:41 Brett Yormark had some favorable comments about Texas Tech 58:21 A monkey settles the chicken wars once and for all Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde determine which coaches are on the hot seat heading into the upcoming football season. With Week 0 upon us, the podcast kicks off discussing which coaches could be on their way out if this season doesn’t meet expectations at their respective programs. Additionally, the show explores who the most interesting figures are within the sport in 2023. Selections range from Deion Sanders to Caleb Williams and many disingenuous play-callers in between. Former USC Trojan star running back Reggie Bush is planning on filing a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA in hopes to regain his Heisman trophy status. After deliberation with the Heisman trust, Bush is taking a new angle to try and retrieve the coveted award that was stripped from him after receiving compensation to play at USC. The guys work through the issue and try to find out whether or not Reggie Bush could get the trophy back after this effort. Freshman quarterback Jaden Rashada has won the starting job at Arizona State. After a tumultuous offseason filled with commitments and faulty collectives at Florida, the young signal-caller has proven his skills at camp and will be leading the Sun Devils offense. The podcast decides to break-in a new band today after the collapse of the Pac-12. A new song details the love of the remaining conference-less teams in the soon to be former Pac-12. Lastly, we have college football games this weekend so the Race for the Case starts anew. The guys pick against the spread for the Navy Midshipmen @ the #13 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the UMass Minutemen @ the New Mexico State Aggies, the Ohio University Bobcats @ the San Diego State Aztecs & the San Jose State Spartans @ the #6 ranked USC Trojans. 1:00 Who has the hottest seat in college football? 14:37 Who is the single most intriguing person in college football this year? 23:56 Reggie Bush is suing the NCAA for defamation 36:00 Jaden Rashada lands the Arizona State starting job 44:41 The Big 4 song 51:30 Iowa has betrayed the trust of the nation 55:41 Race for the case: Week 0 56:00 Navy @ #13 Notre Dame 53:03 UMass @ New Mexico State 1:00:28 Ohio @ San Diego State 1:02:00 San Jose State @ #6 USC Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Aug 22, 2023

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde make sense of the University of Michigan’s decision to levy a 3-game suspension on head coach Jim Harbaugh after the NCAA abstained from doing so just last week. The self-imposed suspension on Jim Harbaugh will only limit him to the first three games of the 2023 season. Jim Harbaugh will be back on field for Rutgers in Week 4 as Michigan decided to handle the allegations against their head coach in-house. The guys discuss how relevant recruiting violations will be in the future as they don’t seem to impact key programs and coaches that immensely. Notre Dame has the most exciting matchup for Week 0 in college football, so Dan & Pat discuss the state of the Fighting Irish program and how Marcus Freeman will do in year two. The coach is winning his players over but Notre Dame fans are hoping he can win more games on the field than in 2022, and the guys suggest that Brian Kelly was taken for granted at Notre Dame because of his prickly attitude. Big schools are starting to name their starters at quarterback this week. Georgia has stated that Carson Beck will be leading the team in Week 1, while Ohio State and Alabama both have battles that have yet to be decided. Pat & Dan explain how Ryan Day and Nick Saban are taking very different approaches to the college football preseason. Missouri has made waves this past week with recruiting, both on the field and in the living room of every high school athlete. The University of Missouri was able to land 5-star Williams Nwaneri to play defensive end, wile the state of Missouri enacted a new law where high school athletes who commit to play at an in-state college will be eligible to receive NIL money before going to college. Lastly, in news of the weird, raccoons and otters are running amok, monster hunters are headed to Loch Ness & the top 15 schools for agriculture were released. 1:00 Jim Harbaugh will be suspended for 3 games by Michigan 16:10 Expectations for Notre Dame this season 30:46 Georgia has named Carson Beck the game 1 starter 32:12 Ohio State’s QB battle could carry into the season 33:26 Alabama’s uncertain QB room 37:12 Iowa’s Van Halen coverband, Van Hayden 42:22 The state of Missouri is making big recruiting moves 53:00 Raccoons are causing big problems in Germany 55:24 Otters have struck again after biting an actress 57:00 The hunt for the Loch Ness Monster 1:00:45 The top 15 agricultural schools in the US Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Aug 16, 2023

Florida State has been noticeably outspoken this college football offseason about their happiness (or lack thereof) with the state of the ACC, the conference in which they play. After a summer of seismic shifts to the college football landscape, most notably with the Pac-12 seemingly disintegrating before our eyes, attention has shifted to FSU to see if they'd be the next major university to seek greener pastures, presumably in the Big Ten or SEC. Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde kick off today's podcast on this very subject. With the August 15th deadline to announce an intention to leave for the 2024 season now in the rear view mirror, will FSU make an announcement before next August with their hearts set on a 2025 exit? Is the Big Ten or SEC the most logical suitor, or would FSU go independent for a few years to see how the dust settles before making a new commitment. In more conference realignment news, Ross provides an update on where the College Football Playoff might take their format now that the Pac-12 will likely no longer be considered a Power Five conference. Could the upcoming format shift to six conference winners plus 6 at-large bids be scrapped in favor of a 'five plus seven' arrangement, or will the CFP opt to just take the 12 highest ranked teams? Ross explains the internal politics of where both options stand right now. In the world of entertainment, the guys react to the latest Netflix documentary, Untold: Johnny Football, about former Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel & chat about the new drama regarding former Ole Miss tackle Michael Oher, whose story was famously adapted into the Sandra Bullock film, The Blindside . Closing out the podcast, the crew chats about Peyton Manning's latest gig, school-branded alcohol, Eggo-flavored liqueur & an update from the Goodyear Blimp. 0:30 - FSU looking to leave ACC in 2025? 14:55 - Another CFP format change? 30:35 - Johnny Manziel documentary 44:50 - Michael Oher "Blindside" drama 53:15 - Professor Peyton Manning 55:30 - Alcohol & blimp news Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Aug 14, 2023

Over the weekend, news broke that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh would likely not be suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season, after initially agreeing to the punishment a few weeks prior. Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde dive into the NCAA's internal politics that resulted in this news and the organization's stunning "not a cheeseburger" comments that sent this story from semi-reasonable to absurd. What's clear in all of this is that it will take so long to adjudicate, that Harbaugh may once again return to the NFL in early 2024, right when a full penalty would be issued, letting him coach this season in its entirety and get away scot-free. In other news, the ACC's attempt to acquire Stanford, Cal-Berkley & SMU has reportedly hit a major snag . ACC stalwarts Florida State, Clemson, NC State & North Carolina are allegedly not in favor of the three new entrants and any deal seems unlikely. The guys talk about what it means for the ACC, the four dissenting schools & the suddenly very lonely Stanford. In less than two weeks, we have actual college football action. The crew conducts a draft to pick their favorite six games in the opening week of the season. Closing out the show, a brief entry into the People's Court where the important question is asked: is the Goodyear Blimp spying on SEC schools on behalf of Ohio State? 0:00 - Jim Harbaugh's 4-game suspension likely on hold 33:05 - ACC's attempt to bring in SMU, Cal, Stanford likely DOA 47:25 - Week 0/Week 1 Games draft 57:45 - People's Court: Spy Blimps Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI's Pat Forde return with more fallout from the apparent collapse of the Pac-12. The ACC is smelling blood in the water and is reportedly targeting Pac-12 leftovers Cal & Stanford to join their conference, along with SMU of the American Athletic Conference. The guys discuss whether or not it makes sense for any party, especially the west-coast Cal & Stanford students who would suddenly find themselves consistently playing in four time-zones east of their home campuses. Meanwhile, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey recently made an appearance on the Paul Finebaum show to gloat that his conference "[doesn't] need to be in 4 time zones to generate interest." The podcast crew low-key loves the snark and doesn't blame the SEC for scooping up Texas and Oklahoma. Later in the show, the guys chat about the Montgomery riverfront brawl , react to Georgia, Alabama & Ohio State leading the first coaches poll of the offseason, the Johnny Manziel documentary on Netflix, an Italian man meeting a cheesy demise & emotional support emus. 1:00 The ACC is considering adding Stanford, Cal & SMU 17:30 SEC commissioner Greg Sankey spoke on Paul Finebaum’s show 23:38 The NCAA is back in the eligibility denial business 36:42 The Montgomery riverfront brawl 42:24 Reacting to the first college football coaches poll 55:08 The new Johnny Manziel documentary is released 56:43 West Virginia has joined the beer NIL derby 60:17 An Italian man fell victim to falling cheese 1:01:54 A Virginia Beach man went to court to see if he can keep his emotional support emu Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde try to pick up the pieces from last week’s realignment fallout after news that Washington, Oregon would be heading to the Big Ten, while Arizona, Arizona State & Utah would take their athletic programs to the Big 12. The 500th episode of the podcast opens with a discussion on the unserious nature of these Pac-12 realignment meetings, as a chairperson from Oregon joined a call on Zoom during his golf match. This leads the hosts to believe that the meetings were all planned on very short notice & that the conference members were all flying by the seat of their pants during these major decisions. The guys then dive into what happens next for the remaining four teams left in the Pac-12: Oregon State, Washington State, Cal & Stanford. Many Pac-12 fans can’t believe the other members left Stanford and Cal out to dry, while some believe that more schools should adopt playing in different conferences for different sports to make the transition easier. Dan pours water on the idea that the conference a team plays in impacts their academic standing, while Ross notes Mizzou head football coach Eli Drinkwitz’s comments about the well-being of student athletes being overlooked during the realignment process. Pac-12 softball players have been voicing their opinions and concerns on social media surrounding the realignment. The players state that they didn’t sign up to play games at Rutgers away from their families. The podcast crew notes that Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff may not be able to attend conference championships this year for the Pac-12 due to being so disliked at this moment. Rounding out the show, in recruiting news, Florida State lands a big time safety & Boise State is able to keep a wideout in Idaho over Michigan. In news of the weird, an ice cream shop in Santa Cruz is celebrating Otter 841 & fall funerals may be on the hot seat. 0:00 Introduction 5:00 A University of Oregon trustee chair joined their realignment meeting from the golf course 18:37 The latest on the Pac-4 34:05 Pac-12 softball players voiced their displeasure with their conference changing 41:22 What happens with the CFP? 46:06 The sun sets on the Pac-12 in the Rose Bowl 53:00 Florida State lands the #1 safety in the country 59:00 Gatlin Bair commits to Boise State over Michigan 1:00:45 Are fall funerals just as bad as fall weddings? 1:04:18 The otter uprising of 2023 Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Aug 5, 2023

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde react to the news that the Big Ten will be adding the University of Oregon and University of Washington. The hammer finally dropped on the Pac-12 as their two remaining headliners, Oregon and Washington have been approved to join the Big Ten. The guys break down the timeline that led to the formal realignment decision. After a rollercoaster of options and ideas, the final push to keep the Pac-12 together ultimately failed, and Dan & Pat are bewildered by how quickly the decision to add Oregon and Washington actually came to fruition. Later, the guys share their winners and losers following the big decision. Oregon is the first school under the magnifying glass, as they have a harder route to the playoff now, but their strong brand could keep them relevant in the new 18-team conference. Not much changes for the Big Ten operationally, but the newcomers are hoping to avoid being the next Nebraska. The Big 12 looks to be a big winner during this summer’s realignment. The conference, that was written off 2 years ago, now has a pending addition in the University of Arizona and is expected to make an attempt to acquire Arizona State and Utah as well. The show also analyzes where Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, & Stanford go from here. These odd schools out have a few options, such as joining the Mountain West Conference, going independent, or even moving down to Division 1-AA. Lastly, the guys remark that the SEC has seemed very quiet during this week’s monumental shakeup and the conference is perhaps aiming to keep it that way until other big schools are ready to join. 1:00 Oregon and Washington are headed to the Big Ten 20:33 Realignment winners and losers 29:16 Will the Big 12 end up getting Arizona, Arizona State & Utah? 35:45 What do Washington State and Oregon State do from here? 41:00 What does Stanford do? 45:10 Cal may be in a worse position than Stanford 48:00 The SEC seems very content 50:45 A river otter attacked tubers in Montana Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Aug 3, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde regather to react to the news that the Big Ten is meeting to discuss a plan for realignment with their eyes on Pac-12 teams. The podcast opens up by discussing which teams in the Pac-12 are in the forefront of the Big Ten’s eyes ahead of their latest pitch to expand. Four presidents have met today and the guys expect the top two targets to be the University of Oregon and the University of Washington, that is if the Big Ten only wants to add two teams in this volley. If the conference wishes to expand to 20 teams Stanford and California-Berkley are expected to be the next two schools to be rounded up. In true NCAA administrative fashion, the Big Ten doesn’t want to be seen as the conference that killed the Pac-12. Only in this line of work could you find such irony after adding USC and UCLA, which ended up tanking the Pac-12’s media rights deal this offseason. The guys speculate as to what will happen with the rest of the Pac-12 if Oregon and Washington leave, and the other options appear to be the Big 12 and Mountain West. The ACC couldn’t let the Big Ten have all the shine today, as member school Florida State expressed their displeasure that they will be receiving the same amount of money as other ACC schools this year. The guys aren’t impressed by Florida State’s antics and peacocking. Pat believes that ACC commissioner Jim Phillips should feel very disrespected by a program that has reached only tepid levels of relevancy over the last five seasons. Lastly, former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is opening his own bar in College Station, Texas, so the show determines whether or not it’s worth checking out. 1:00 The Big Ten is meeting to discuss further expansion after the Pac-12 fallout 19:23 If you’re the Big Ten would you go to 18 teams or 20? 27:33 How should Oregon State and Washington State fans feel now? 35:27 Florida State is very unhappy with the ACC 44:03 Johnny Manziel is opening a bar Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

In part 1 of a two-part episode, Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde examine the Pac-12 landscape after more information about their media rights deal was released. The Pac-12 is expected to sign their upcoming TV deal with Apple TV+. After the Pac-12 network debacle, many see this deal as inferior to the deal that the Big 12 recently worked out. This news, coupled with Colorado’s departure from the Pac-12 has the guys seriously debating the likelihood of more Pac-12 teams leaving. Dan starts a new game called ‘Would You Go?’ where the hosts have to put themselves in the shoes of Pac-12 schools and reveal if they would leave the conference. The most obvious first choice would be the two Arizona schools, although separating the two could be an issue. The guys think that it would be beneficial for Pac-12 members to stay, so that the path to the playoff is easier. Moving away from the west coast, more betting scandals have come out as student athletes from Iowa and Iowa State have been reported as gambling on college sports as well as their own schools. The guys despair in realizing that the state of Iowa may not be as simple and quiet as they claim to be. Lastly, in animal news, there haven’t been any sightings of Otter 841 & visitors at a Chinese zoo believe the bears may not be real. 1:00 The Pac-12 is falling apart after new media deal information 47:32 Iowa is the new Las Vegas 56:41 Otter 841 update 57:31 A Chinese Zoo denies that their sun bears are humans wearing costumes Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 31, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde break down the fallout from last week’s news of Colorado leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12. Now that the dust has settled on Colorado’s exodus to the Big 12, the guys discuss which team could leave the Pac-12 next. The University of Arizona seems to be the most logical program to join a new conference, but the Pac-12 may not be willing to let another member go. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has shown his savvy this offseason by keeping his foot on the pedal to acquire talented programs so it doesn’t look like he will stop until the Big 12 has 14 teams. A new article came out from University of Minnesota players critiquing PJ Fleck and the culture of the football program. The show dissects the article and determines how much weight it does and should carry. PJ Fleck is an interesting character for sure, but there doesn’t seem to be much evidence of a toxic environment for student athletes. New Ohio State commit Aaron Scott, Jr. took a moment to troll Michigan fans during his recruitment video. Scott revealed an Ohio State jersey that was pulled out of a University of Michigan backpack, giving the Michigan faithful a quick glimmer of hope before taking it away. Hugh Freeze had a big week on the recruiting trail with a couple highly touted prospects committing to Auburn, including flipping a 5-star wideout from Alabama. Aside from football, Freeze won the first golf flight at the Auburn University Club. After some extensive investigative journalism, the podcast deduces that Hugh Freeze may in fact be a very good golfer. Lastly, an Ohio State player isn’t as focused on NIL money, but rather farming supplies. 1:00 - What is the Pac-12's next move? 23:56 Do the Minnesota Golden Gophers have a toxic program? 45:00 Aaron Scott Jr commits to Ohio State over Michigan 48:40 Auburn is recruiting exceptionally well in Alabama right now 57:39 Ohio State’s Cade Stover has a unique NIL request Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 27, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the breaking development that the University of Colorado is expected to join the Big 12 in 2024. In a very busy week with many headlines, the Colorado Buffaloes stole the show. After leaving the Big 12 in 2010, it is basically a done deal that Colorado will return to the conference after their patience with the Pac-12 wore thin. The guys speculate which other schools could join Colorado in the move & if it is even a good move in the first place. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is looking at the very real possibility of being suspended for the first four games of the 2023 college football season. Not all hope is lost for Michigan fans as the games should be easy in his absence, but some are shocked that the NCAA actually levied a punishment. The suspension stems from recruiting infractions that took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, which Harbaugh tried to lie about, thereby making the punishment worse. Ryan Day spoke at Big Ten media days and caused quite a stir about the chance that the Ohio State/Michigan game could be moved. Due to the elimination of the Big Ten West & Big Ten East divisions, Michigan & Ohio State’s traditional end-of-season game could be moved up to prevent playing each other in back-to-back weeks. In Iowa news, Kirk Ferentz coined a new slogan for the Iowa football program by noting his admiration for punters. Additionally, two Iowa offensive linemen competed against each other in a hay bale throwing contest. Lastly, Dan has a new favorite coach of the week & the Columbus Zoo made a questionable mistake. 1:00 - Colorado is moving to the Big 12 10:48 Who else could be joining Colorado in the Big 12? 24:11 Jim Harbaugh is expected to receive a 4 game suspension this season 34:46 Ryan Day stated that the Ohio State - Michigan game may get moved 42:52 Kirk Ferentz unveiled his appreciation for punters 54:00 Dan’s favorite coach of the week 56:16 The Columbus Zoo was confused about a gorilla birth Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 24, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde give their thoughts on Lane Kiffin’s media day highlights along with previewing the upcoming Big Ten media days & looking back at the Pac-12's outing from last week. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin had plenty of opportunities to surprise and shock, like he has done in the past, but at the 2023 SEC media days he took the high road when asked to rank the aggressiveness of SEC boosters. With the good comes the bad though, as Lane Kiffin called college athletics a disaster surrounding the transfer portal and NIL. Kiffin described it as free agency and that the biggest buyer gets the best prizes, while noting that Ole Miss has been successful in transfer portal recruiting. Looking ahead to Big Ten media days, Ryan Day is believed to be one of the most interesting figures in college football coming into this season. He has had plenty of success, but losing to Michigan two years in a row has earned some distrust from the Buckeye faithful. The rest of the Big Ten will be very exciting, featuring newcomers Matt Rhule and Luke Fickell joining Nebraska and Wisconsin, respectively. The show wonders how Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker will be received after a very down year for the Spartans. The Pac-12 media day was underwhelming with Deion Sanders not being in attendance due to a surgery. Ross recaps a few of George Kliavkoff’s sentiments and the show acknowledges that once the Pac-12 can end the media deal drama, reporters can finally focus on football again. The Mid-American Conference may be trying to restore some of its top rivalries to weekend billings after seeing lower attendance on weekdays. The weekday MACtion is a great college tradition, but the conference is looking to reinvigorate the fans with more Saturday games between noted rivals. Lastly, an otter in California is taking over Santa Cruz by intimidating and stealing boards from surfers. 1:00 Lane Kiffin believes college sports are a disaster 15:28 Big Ten media days are around the corner 35:53 Fallout from Pac-12 media days 45:03 The MAC held their media days 53:57 There is an outlaw otter in California Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 20, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde discuss all the major headlines coming from the third session of SEC media days. To kick things off, Dan revels in the fact that Nick Saban begrudgingly took a vacation with his wife to Italy to commemorate their wedding anniversary. Nick Saban also provided a review of the country in a way that only the curmudgeonly Alabama coach could. On the football side for the Crimson Tide, the podcast contemplates how they will be able to keep up with Georgia given their unproven quarterback room. The rise and dominance of Georgia has also pushed the topic of a possible third championship in three years. Coaches and reporters across the country have noted that the 2020s have been Georgia’s decade and that pace doesn’t seem to be slowing down. In additional Georgia news, their adamant defense against an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article has forced article revisions and the firing of reporter Alan Judd. Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman continues to delight during media days, as he provided a memorable response when asked about a niche Minnesota beer. New Mississippi State head coach Zach Arnett has impressed at the podium with a strong air of comfortability with the media. The Bulldogs continue to have tough schedules but Arnett is confident in the direction of the program. Out west, the biggest news out of the Pac-12 is that there is no news. The television/media rights deal announcement has been delayed another month. Law firms in Chicago are getting busy with a preponderance of lawsuits popping up surrounding the Northwestern hazing scandal. Players, administrators & Pat Fitzgerald are lawyering up to make their points known. Lastly, the podcast reviews the 2023 college football all-name team & Jim Mora might have the answer to a very important question. 1:00 Nick Saban’s Italian holiday 8:30 Alabama letting the cake bake with the QB position 12:36 Can Georgia three-peat? 19:06 The AJC fired Alan Judd and issued corrections to their latest Georgia story 22:47 Sam Pittman continues to be a great part of SEC media days 26:51 The pod was impressed with Zach Arnett at the podium 31:45 The Pac-12 media deal was pushed back to August 37:52 Northwestern has announced two new reviews into the hazing allegations 42:20 This will be the petty year for the Big 12 vs Texas and Oklahoma 45:19 College football’s 2023 all-name team 50:21 Other notable events from SEC media days 53:30 A search warrant was issued in Nevada surrounding the Tupac Shakur murder Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 18, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde get together to recap a hectic weekend of college football media days. Kicking things off, the University of Tennessee has finally received a ruling for their many infractions under the reign of Jeremy Pruitt. The 200+ infractions warranted a fine and many no-show clauses for Pruitt and the Tennessee staffers. With help from Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, the Volunteers were able to retain their bowl eligibility. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey spoke about the future of NIL and state involvement at SEC media days on Monday. Sankey is attempting to find a solution to reduce state involvement with NIL laws and regulations. The guys agree with Sankey’s sentiments and defend the NCAA against loopholes and government overreach into the sport. Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher had an interesting day at the podium. Fisher sidestepped a question when asked who would be calling the plays for the Aggies, himself or Bobby Petrino. Fisher withheld as to not give away the game plan for Saturdays. The Northwestern fallout continues as more athletes are suing the program after hazing reports came out that resulted in head coach Pat Fitzgerald’s dismissal. LSU’s Brian Kelly weighed in on the situation and didn’t hold back about how a team should be run to avoid situations like this. Big 12 deputy commissioner Tim Weiser spoke recently about the impending departure of Texas and Oklahoma. Dan, Pat & Ross react to Weiser’s statements about Texas not wanting to lose to Kansas State anymore & Oklahoma leaving just because Texas did. New Kansas Jayhawk Hunter Dickinson described Kansas residents as being much nicer than Michigan residents, which prompts the guys into a debate on whether or not ‘midwest nice’ is a real thing. Lastly, Dan and the newly minted Yahoo employee Ross confront Pat about a faux pas that occurred during the podcast taping. 1:00 Ross has made his employment decision 2:40 Tennessee gets a decision on their infractions case 14:30 Tennessee attorney general jumped in to defend the school 20:13 Greg Sankey speaks at SEC media days 34:20 Who will call the plays for Texas A&M? 37:50 Northwestern fallout continues 42:25 Tim Weiser from the Big 12 took some shots at Texas and Oklahoma 51:58 Hunter Dickinson praised the kindness of the people of Kansas 59:30 Pat was caught responding to a tweet mid-pod Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 12, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde react to the news of Northwestern University firing longtime coach Pat Fitzgerald amid team hazing allegations. After a tumultuous week, the axe finally fell on Northwestern head football coach Pat Fitzgerald. A two-week suspension has now turned into a full dismissal after the bungling of the initial report surrounding football team hazing allegations. Many in the football world are shocked, but the guys stick with their sentiment that schools should release their full investigative reports upon completion to prevent a scenario like this from happening in the first place. Former West Virginia head basketball coach Bob Huggins is still adamant about not resigning from his position. The former coach and school have exchanged letters furthering the ‘Costanza’ narrative that Huggins is putting forward. The guys are getting tired of his act and are now seeing these actions as greedy and embarrassing. The University of Georgia has pushed back against an Atlanta Journal Constitution article that noted Georgia’s stance on sexual assault/harassment. Kirby Smart and other officials from the athletic department defended their school and policy, calling for a recall of the article. The crew believes that this tactic was used to deflect from the surge of speeding and reckless driving charges that Georgia football players are getting caught up in. New & baffling details have emerged from the college baseball betting scandal surrounding an Alabama/LSU game this past April. Security footage and a borderline spoken admission to a teller have revealed a new level of incompetence while trying to pull off a scam of this proportion. Lastly, one of America’s great newspaper writers is being celebrated this year. Mike Royko’s blind beer test is getting a 50th anniversary at The Billy Goat in Chicago to commemorate the writer & to see how far American beer has come. 1:00 Pat Fitzgerald fired by Northwestern 25:12 The pod has finalized their Nashville meetup plans 28:55 Bob Huggins stands by the idea that he didn’t resign 39:47 Georgia pushed back against AJC article 49:52 Rand Paul is upset with antitrust laws 52:02 Details on the Alabama - LSU baseball betting scandal 1:01:36 Mike Royko’s beer test comes back Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 10, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde discuss the latest developments surrounding the Northwestern University hazing scandal. Recent reports have come to light where players involved with the Northwestern football program have been uncomfortable with team rituals. An internal investigation took place, but the full report was withheld leading to the campus paper to pick up the full story and report on it. The pod highlights how this mismanaged report could cost Pat Fitzgerald his job. The longtime Northwestern coach could very well be out the door after the story and hazing allegations have picked up steam over the weekend. Former West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins wants to remain with the team after stating his resignation announcement wasn’t real. Huggins, who left the Mountaineers after a DUI, has hired an attorney to plead his case that he never formally resigned. Huggins noted that the press releases and announcements about his departure were misleading. The pod isn’t impressed with these actions from Huggins and finds the whole situation very tacky. Highly touted recruit Elijah Rushing has committed to the University of Arizona. Head coach Jedd Fisch appears to be trying to take back recruiting in Arizona to compete with Arizona State and the rest of the Pac-12. Iowa fans were upset with Dan because the Hawkeyes have a beer where profits go to their NIL collective. After last week’s Iowa Great Lakes revelation, the state of Iowa seems to be doing more partying than caucusing. Lastly in news of the weird a convenience store interaction gets messy over wait times. 1:58 Northwestern football in the spotlight for hazing allegations 40:28 Bob Huggins is upset with WVU 52:51 Elijah Rushing commits to Arizona 58:00 Iowa fans are upset with Dan 1:02:08 Assault by Big Gulp Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

Jul 5, 2023

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger and SI’s Pat Forde react to San Diego State deciding to return to the Mountain West conference for another year after flirting with the Pac-12. First, they kick off the pod with top defensive line recruit Justin Scott committing to Ohio State over Notre Dame and Michigan. As Fighting Irish fans grow frustrated with their squad always coming close, but never signing ‘the guy’, the hosts ponder how much juice Marcus Freeman has with recruiting at an elite level. Freeman has consistently recruited very well, but needs to take the next step to truly compete for the 5-star players. After a drama-filled offseason, San Diego State has decided to stay with the Mountain West for another year. Ross breaks down the soap opera while Dan & Pat determine why the Aztecs decided to stay instead of move up to a Power Five conference. In college athletics legal news, the California revenue-sharing bill has been pushed back a full year after being passed once. If passed twice, colleges would have to distribute money received from athletics back to the athletes. A recent report noted that an anonymous Pac-12 coach believes that the Deion Sanders Colorado hire will end up being a lose-lose situation. The coach believes that if Coach Prime wins enough games, he will leave the program quickly, and if he loses too many games, the dismissal will be a ‘circus’. The guys decide what would dictate a good season for the Colorado Buffaloes and what would prompt this statement from a fellow coach in the first place. New UAB head coach Trent Dilfer went on a radio program & talked about tampering with his student athletes. Dilfer notably dared other coaches to try and poach his players so he could expose them. Lastly in news of the weird, this Friday is National Dive Bar Day, a woman survived three days in a swamp & we may see more chicken sandwich innovation soon. 1:00 Introduction 4:02 Justin Scott chooses Ohio State over Notre Dame 22:57 San Diego State stays with the Mountain West 34:01 The California revenue sharing bill has been delayed a year 36:50 An anonymous Pac-12 coach thinks Coach Prime at Colorado is a lose-lose 44:08 Trent Dilfer dares other coaches to try and poach his players 48:45 National dive bar day is approaching 55:20 Restaurant Brands International is looking to strengthen their position in the chicken wars 58:13 A woman was found by a rescue team after being stuck in mud Follow Dan @DanWetzel Follow Pat @ByPatForde Follow Ross @RossDellenger Check out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎧 Spotify 🖥️ YouTube 📢 Check out the Yahoo Sports podcast network or yahoosports.tv

The IARP continues to struggle with being able to logically handle cases where punishments may be needed. After much deliberation, they have decided to suspend Wade, currently McNeese State’s head basketball coach, 10 games with a two-year no-show clause.

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Ross Dellenger react to Nick Saban wanting to use sportsbook odds as leverage to make the College Football Playoff, and later, the breaking news coming out from Stephen F. Austin’s bowling team. Ross joins the program from his cruise to discuss why San Diego State is being pursued so much more than Boise State. The guys try and determine what factors outside of winning football games could contribute to Boise State generating such little buzz during realignment season. Alabama head coach Nick Saban spoke with Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt this week and mentioned that he thought Alabama was snubbed from the College Football Playoff last year due to being favored against three out of the four members that made it. The plot thickens as Dan & Ross wonder if Nick Saban could be planting some seeds in the media for the upcoming season in a stacked SEC. Billy Napier and the Florida Gators are starting to pick up some momentum this summer with a big recruiting weekend.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde discuss the weekend’s huge college athletics news after West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins stepped down from his role after receiving a DUI arrest in Pittsburgh Already walking on thin ice after an insensitive radio appearance this spring, Bob Huggins was arrested on Saturday night after reportedly blowing a .210 on a breathalyzer. West Virginia allowed Huggins to step down instead of an immediate firing, but the Hall of Fame coach will be leaving the Mountaineers on a low note nonetheless. San Diego State has entered a tricky situation with their plans to leave the Mountain West Conference. The school has asked for a one-month extension to avoid a roughly $17 million increase of buyout money that would be owed to the Mountain West. SDSU’s ultimate decision still appears to hinge on who the Pac-12 partners with for their upcoming media deal. Maryland football coach Mike Locksley spoke on the newest facilities that were completed in College Park, Maryland. Locksley stated that the athletes don’t favor elite facilities anymore and would rather take payments instead of industry-standard locker rooms and training areas.

The show discusses which teams have the hardest schedules due to out-of-conference opponents along with top-ranked SEC matchups. Texas and Oklahoma both have interesting draws with the renewal of some very old rivalries to come. Next, Dan sheds light on how former president Richard Nixon helped sports fans everywhere by implementing national broadcasts during sellout playoff games.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger get together to track the Baby Gronk saga as well as a possible rendezvous between the Big 12 and Memphis. Late last week it was reported that Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark took a meeting surrounding adding Memphis to the Big 12. Yormark denies that he was in Memphis, yet his track record this offseason shows that he wants to add more quality programs to his conference, so the podcast calculates whether it would be a good move or not. The IRS has stated that NIL donors will be taxed & the money that goes into a NIL collective will not be tax-exempt. Many donors are hoping that this rule only applies to donations taking place in the future and not previous sums that have been put into collectives. Youth football player Madden San Miguel, aka Baby Gronk has taken the internet by storm recently after more details surfaced surrounding how his dad operates within social media. The show discusses the pros and cons of promoting your kid with such ferocity at only 10 years old. A recent article has come out detailing the University of Georgia football team’s issues off the field. The guys acknowledge Kirby Smart’s lack of control over his players as more problems continue to arise for the Bulldogs. Bishop Sycamore, the fraudulent high school in Ohio that swindled an ESPN televised game against IMG Academy will be receiving its own HBO documentary. The guys have high hopes for the show and plead their case for the documentary to portray the subject with the comedic tone the story deserves. The future Big Ten schedule was released which gives fans an opportunity to see the logistics of how the conference will operate with USC and UCLA. The two new west coast teams appear to have drawn the short end of the stick with average travel distances eclipsing 2,000+ miles.

New compensation information has come out for college athletes in EA Sports’ upcoming NCAA football game. Players are expected to receive $500 to be featured in the game.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger react to UAB head coach Trent Dilfer’s recent comments about utilizing NIL in a brand new way. In a recent statement Trent Dilfer was honest about the competition for recruits in the NIL and transfer portal landscape. He acknowledged the gap between P5 and G5 schools and believes that both could work together for a player’s benefit. The pitch of developing players for two years so they can earn more money at a bigger program is new and the pod wonders if college football can follow the same track as college basketball with their underclassmen. A new study revealed how much money college athletes are really getting with their NIL deals. The study highlights the difference between starters, bench players and transfer portal players. College football coaches are at it again with a new proposal to adjust NLI dates and national signing day.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger break down all the latest developments happening right now at this year’s SEC meetings. The SEC is facing a big proposal of adding another in-conference game to each team’s schedule, which would shift the dynamics of the conference. The newly proposed 9-team format is controversial due to the permanent games each team will have. The shifting of program strength has coaches like Nick Saban disgruntled over the strength of schedule. Additionally, the weight of another SEC game could favor a 3-loss team making the playoff in the future if the three losses are close and respectable. Other topics discussed during the SEC meetings included new NIL sanctions, the sports gambling industry & increased payment for an additional in-conference matchup. Next, the guys chat about more information coming out surrounding the gambling scandal stemming from a bettor placing a large wager on an Alabama-LSU baseball. A new study has ranked the laziest states in America so the podcast places their votes for which one is top-dog. The SEC states’ high representation in the rankings is off-putting given the fans’ elevated rate of shenanigans in the offseason. A University of Oregon golfer suffered a very strange injury during the college championships and had to be removed from the tournament after stepping on a tee. The updated list of non-NCAA championships released and the show reacts to the winners from cornhole, forensics, ballroom dance & much more.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger center today’s podcast around all of the different directions that live sports could splinter off into as cable and streaming networks take a bigger slice of the broadcasting pie. To open the show, Dan gives his assessment of the new documentary Bama Rush, which covers the ins and outs of students trying to be accepted into sororities at the University of Alabama. The massively popular greek life scene in Tuscaloosa has sparked millions of clicks on social media and now, there’s an in-depth look at the process of rushing a sorority there. The future of how to watch sports is currently in flux for fans across the country. With the boom of streaming services and many opting to cut the cord, we could soon have a very different way to watch our favorite teams. ESPN is considering a move to strictly steaming, which could create a snowball effect for the rest of the major networks to follow. The guys debate the pros and cons of making the switch to streaming and how it may not be incredibly different in the end. The Pac-12 had a rough week with reports of the University of Colorado being courted by the Big 12. Washington State’s administration also belittled the conference for the lack of support, while also mentioning the conference’s potential financial malpractice. The off-field trouble is continuing in Athens, GA as Bulldog wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint was arrested for reckless driving. Rosemy-Jacksaint is the latest Georgia football player to have issues with speeding, particularly after the racing incident earlier this year with Jalen Carter.

New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti is having to clean up a messy TV contract that was left to him by Kevin Warren.

In other college football news, Shemy Schembechler is out at Michigan after his social media was scanned and offensive tweets were found from his account. Schembechler issued an official apology, though it is unlikely he will be hired by a major institution again.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast breaking down all of the events that transpired at the latest round of ACC meetings. Over the offseason, a select group has been formed within the ACC which has been named, “the magnificent seven”. These seven schools have been discussing the possibility of leaving the ACC and how plausible it would be to get out of their lengthy TV contracts within the conference. The podcast covers the nature of revenue sharing in the conference, along with the pros and cons of leaving. The guys are not pleased with the pattern of college coaches and administrators playing the money card at every turn and using that as an excuse for trying to leave a conference. The University of Tennessee is exploring options for a new entertainment district outside of their football stadium. Many colleges are beginning to develop a more corporate and luxurious environment for fans to partake in the festivities.

The drama in Tuscaloosa continues in 2023, with the latest theatrics being a sports betting scandal.

However, kicking off today’s show: Dan gives his thoughts on the American transportation system compared to Europe’s after spending a week traversing countries overseas. The biggest quarterback battle of the offseason is taking place at the University of Texas between Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning and spring game standout Malik Murphy. The podcast discusses whether a good showing from Murphy would be enough to draw interest from other schools looking to add a starter over the summer. With the transfer portal opening up again, the SEC has a new rule prohibiting in-conference transfers past the month of January. The guys don’t agree with this decision as it would limit the amount of talent that stays within the conference. The University of Georgia is looking to find their next starter to take over for Stetson Bennett. The Bulldogs have good depth, but retaining that will be difficult to do with a sparse amount of playing time for backups. Lane Kiffin showed everyone why he was deemed the portal king this past weekend as the quarterback room at Ole Miss was exceptional in their spring game. Between Jaxson Dart, Spencer Sanders & Walker Howard, Rebels fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming season. Ohio State had a packed house to watch their spring game this weekend.

The guys give an overall examination of where the ACC stands in terms of media rights along with university cohesion. Ross spent some time talking with UNC head football coach Mack Brown, who gave his thoughts on the current state of NIL in college sports. Brown along with many other coaches are seemingly ready to, “get to the other side of the bridge,” following the rocky first few years of NIL and transfer portal trials. On the note of the transfer portal, more coaches are becoming disgruntled with the ongoing tampering as universities try to persuade players to come play for them. The guys determine that the best way to slow down the poaching and tampering is to put names to the reports. The Pac-12 is staying in the hunt for a new media rights deal, even though their deadline has been extended again.

Reese fired back that the Tigers would rather go to the Obama household to celebrate their title. There is a new committee for women’s equality in college sports that is looking to advance women’s sports. The podcast wonders about the new committee’s place as the NCAA is already the most supportive entity towards women’s sports in this country.

Former Michigan standout wide receiver Braylon Edwards made comments about the team’s rival Ohio State, saying that Michigan is on the rise whereas the Buckeyes can’t keep up with the Wolverine’s dominance over the last two years. Lincoln Riley has landed a very impressive new recruit in Duce Robinson. The multi-talented tight end could provide a more dynamic offense for the USC Trojans as they prepare for the Big Ten. Lastly, in news of the weird, a snake infiltrated a flight & a fight broke out in Michigan over fish. 1:00 Jill Biden’s comments on inviting Iowa to the White House were not received well by Angel Reese 9:33 The women’s national championship has also sparked a new committee for women’s equality in college sports. 30:00 Stetson Bennett’s January arrest video has been released 34:23 Braylon Edwards stated that Ohio State’s time is over 40:43 USC lands tight end Duce Robinson 43:19 Dan’s update from Augusta National 48:00 A South African pilot had a terrifying experience 51:53 Police in Warren, Michigan had to break up a fight at a fishmonger stand Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Sparks flew in the women’s national championship game between the LSU Tigers and Iowa Hawkeyes on Sunday night. LSU won the game, but the fallout surrounding the trash talk between LSU’s Angel Reese and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has dominated news cycles.

In college football news, the guys have updates regarding the Jeremy Pruitt saga at Tennessee and yet another case in which the NCAA is being sued over backpay owed to students. After their spring game, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh declared that this current team is “the best he’s ever seen at Michigan,” which leaves the guys in disbelief as the regular season is still four months away.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger provide their thoughts on the final four teams standing in the men’s college basketball tournament on today’s episode. In a surprising turn of events no #1 ranked teams have made the final four. Instead, the Miami Hurricanes, UConn Huskies, San Diego State Aztecs & Florida Atlantic Owls have clinched the final spots in this year’s tournament. In dramatic fashion, each of these teams have made great runs and are shifting the narrative that suggest NIL favors the Power Five schools. Miami’s journey has been especially interesting: from an FBI investigation to John Ruiz’s generous contributions trying to make them a contender. The guys give their predictions on which team will be cutting down the nets in next Monday’s National Championship. The highly talented and highly ranked Alabama Crimson Tide were bounced from the tournament by San Diego State, so the podcast determines whether or not that is a good thing for the Alabama program after being surrounded by so much drama this season.

The rounds of 64 and 32 have been completed and the cream is rising to the top in this year’s college basketball March Madness tournament. We saw a lot of pivotal games including some major upsets in the first two rounds. The #1 seed Purdue Boilermakers fell to the #16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson Knights causing more heartbreak for the Purdue fans. Another early exit with a talented team has baffled the pod as Purdue coach Matt Painter can’t seem to get it right. This year’s tournament has not been friendly to the blue bloods either as Kansas, Duke & Kentucky have all been bounced in the round of 32 making the fellas question as which team can get back on track the quickest.

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Pat Forde give their reactions to the 2023 NCAA tournament bracket reveal. The guys break down who has the most to gain and the most to lose in the upcoming tournament including some pretty big names. The podcast starts by discussing how the coverage of Alabama’s Brandon Miller will unfold throughout the tournament. The Alabama faithful aren’t helping the team by getting shirts banned at the SEC tournament, but that didn’t seem to affect one of the best teams in the nation. Kansas Jayhawks head coach Bill Self had to miss the Big-12 tournament due to a health condition, but he is ready to take his team on a deep run. Purdue’s Matt Painter is trying to finally get the Boilermakers over the hump & the gang believes he has a team that can make some noise. The Houston Cougars fall into the Purdue category with a disciplined team that plays hard defense, but Kelvin Sampson will have to figure out a way to score in a very competitive division. The blue chip teams are complex this year with Kentucky having all the tools, but being unable to make it all click when they need it. On the other side of the spectrum, the Duke Blue Devils are white hot and Jon Scheyer could use a deep run to solidify himself as the guy for Duke. Lastly, in news of the weird, our neighbors up north in Canada have provided clarity to whether or not flipping someone the bird is illegal, and there is a new drinking guidance for the country. 2:30 How will Alabama fare in the tournament among the distractions? 17:00 Bill Self is returning from medical leave to lead the #1 seed Kansas Jayhawks 21:00 It is finally the Purdue Boilermakers time to shine 26:02 Is John Calipari feeling the heat after a cold streak in the tournament? 29:55 Can Shaka Smart make it past the 1st round? 33:05 Jon Scheyer lead Duke to a #5 seed 36:30 Rodney Terry is looking to secure the Texas job with tournament wins 41:00 Rick Pitino and Iona are back in the tournament 47:50 Kelvin Sampson and Houston are looking to make a deep run 49:30 A legal trial in Quebec determined that a man who flipped his neighbor the bird is not a crime 52:30 Canada has updated their alcohol consumption guidance Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger review all of the biggest stories to come out of Nick Saban’s latest one-on-one interview including the new rule changes and NIL guardrails. Ross got to speak with Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban, who gave plenty for the podcast to discuss. The topic of creating value for the student athletes sparked ideas of what a university values compared to the students. Saban was also unhappy with the premise of having to outbid another coach in order to get a player to commit to Alabama. With quarterback Arch Manning arriving on campus at the University of Texas, the competition for the starting spot is heating up. Quinn Ewers is trying to hold onto the position while Arch Manning is getting settled into the college environment. The guys discuss college football’s biggest QB battle. In other quarterback news, top prospect Dylan Raiola took an official visit with the University of Southern California, in what the show deems: the best weekend a person could have. The Trojans have now emerged as the top school to land Raiola after Heisman-winner Caleb Williams likely departs for the NFL next spring. Pat has some advice for the Pac-12 during their search for expansion: follow the Big East’s lead. After finding their conference identity, the Big East was able to get rid of the distractions while fortifying competitiveness and rivalries for years. Lastly, in news of the weird, Mexico’s president tweeted a picture of a famous mythological figure. 1:00 The impact of Nick Saban on an interviewer 9:15 Nick Saban’s thoughts on the current NIL landscape 32:00 The Quinn Ewers & Arch Manning derby has begun 38:30 Dylan Raiola took an official visit to USC 41:42 The Pac-12 should learn from the Big East 50:10 Mexico’s president took a photo of a famous mythological figure Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Outgoing Florida Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson had a record setting day in Indianapolis where he displayed his athleticism and throwing prowess at the 2023 NFL scouting combine. The show discusses how much this weekend’s performance will impact his draft stock compared to the other quarterbacks in this year’s draft class. A new proposal for future SEC scheduling includes an extra in conference game with 3 permanent rivalry games set every year. Alabama’s Nick Saban felt like the Crimson Tide drew the short straw with the rumored rivals of the LSU Tigers, Auburn Tigers & Tennessee Volunteers. The guys determine if Saban’s latest gripe holds any water. The impending decisions surrounding the Pac-12 expansion are starting to get closer. The conference is in purgatory with UCLA and USC set to leave for the Big Ten in the coming years. With the Big-12 looking to expand as well, the Pac-12 is fighting to stay afloat and keep their cornerstone schools a part of their conference. In Texas school news, Texas Tech head coach Mark Adams was suspended due to some inappropriate comments made to the team. Also, Texas A&M started their new NIL initiative that warranted an official reminder from the NCAA on the rules and regulations surrounding the payment of players. Lastly, in news of the weird, a man in Peru committed a very odd crime & the National Parks Service gave a warning ahead of bear season. 1:00 Anthony Richardson had a phenomenal performance at the NFL combine 9:45 The SEC is expected to go to 9 conference games with 3 rivalry games 22:15 The latest on Pac-12 expansion 37:25 Who is the coach of the year & player of the year in the SEC? 42:50 Texas Tech's Mark Adams was suspended 48:00 Texas A&M stays on the forefront of NIL discussions 52:00 A food delivery guy in Peru had a mummy in his delivery bag 55:50 The national parks service gave bear advice Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger react to the two biggest stories coming out of the college athletics this week: Georgia’s star defensive tackle Jalen Carter’s reckless driving charges & the continuing saga of Alabama basketball’s Brandon Miller. Ross, who was down in Tuscaloosa this week, kicks things off with an update on how Alabama’s administration is handling the Brandon Miller situation. In breaking football news, Georgia Bulldogs standout & projected top NFL draft pick Jalen Carter had an arrest warrant out for reckless driving and racing in Athens, GA. Carter was allegedly found to be racing two members of the Georgia football program before they died in a car accident on January 15th. Jalen Carter has been released on bond, but the crew speculates as to how this will impact his draft stock and the Georgia football program as a whole. Lastly, the Big 12 announced that for their upcoming basketball tournament in Kansas City, the venue will be serving university-themed meals that correspond to the participating schools. The meals range from odd integrations of team colors to excessive uses of bacon and a fitting submission from Baylor University. 2:00 The current state of Alabama athletics 16:20 Jalen Carter had an arrest warrant put out for racing and reckless driving 36:50 The Big-12 basketball tournament will have school specific food items for sale Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger react to all of the latest developments surrounding Brandon Miller and the situation with the Alabama Crimson Tide’s men’s basketball program, following last week’s revelation that Miller allegedly delivered the handgun that resulted in the murder of a Tuscaloosa woman in January. Over the weekend, attention to this situation only grew after Miller was seen during player introductions receiving a pat down gesture from another Alabama player. The action, which has supposedly been taking place all season, has drawn the ire of many college basketball fans. While head coach Nate Oats called the gesture inappropriate, the podcast is more perplexed by the apathy Alabama has demonstrated throughout this entire process. In other news, the NCAA has levied their first NIL infraction against two women’s basketball players for the University of Miami, Haley and Hanna Cavinder. Ross explains how the NCAA is hoping to prove their regulation of NIL is legitimate in this ice-breaking decision against the Cavinder twins. Moving to football, Nebraska and Matt Rhule are in the bidding for star high school quarterback Dylan Raiola, who has plenty of ties to the Cornhusker program. The guys deem that this could be the perfect starting point for the new regime to get the program on the right track. Next, Florida State athletic director Michael Alford is displeased with the ACC and the revenue distribution within the conference. Alford believes that the bigger programs within the conference should get bigger shares, especially after comparing the revenue to SEC and Big Ten programs, which is easy for the AD of one of the conference’s two biggest programs to say. To cap off the pod, a Florida man was arrested for disrespectfully eating a key lime pie. How is that possible? Today’s podcast has all of the answers. 1:00 Brandon Miller's pat down entrance causes more controversy 30:53 If you are Alabama do you want to win the national title? 34:20 The Cavender twins and Miami’s head coach get cracked down on 40:55Dylan Raiola took a visit with the Nebraska Cornhuskers 45:45 Florida State’s AD Michael Alford is not happy with the board of trustees 53:25 A Florida man was arrested for disrespectfully eating a Key Lime pie Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

The guys begin the show by giving their reactions to the preliminary details of Miller’s affiliation with the case and they pick apart Alabama men’s basketball head coach Nate Oats’ first press conference where he asserts Miller was in the, “wrong spot at the wrong time.” The podcast then goes through the evening’s series of events, as described by Miller’s attorneys. The fascination surrounding this tragedy only scratches the surface with the initial incident.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger are back to discuss the biggest news surrounding the SEC, conference realignment and, of course, aliens. The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners reached an agreement this week with the Big 12 to leave the conference a year early for the SEC. The question remains: how do does the SEC schedule a 16-team conference. The show discusses what the best format would be for the teams moving forward, and which rivalry games would need to be preserved. Also, Texas QB Quinn Ewers cut off his signature mullet recently, which sparks the question: is Quinn growing up, or is the new hairdo a sign there is fear of Arch Manning’s impending arrival at Texas? In other conference news, there haven’t been many developments since Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff spent time in Dallas, Texas to watch a SMU basketball game, but that doesn’t stop the guys from determining how hot the seat is for the Pac-12, which is set to lose USC and UCLA in a few years.

Dan Wetzel and SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger discuss the possible schools that the Pac-12 will look to bring in after the impending departure of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten. With a new media rights deal being negotiated for the Pac-12, the conference is looking to get the most value that they can after losing two powerhouses. The podcast speculates whether SMU would be a good fit, bringing in a Texas-based market, or if west coast teams like Boise State, San Diego State or Fresno State would be a better fit. Iowa offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz received a fresh contract with new landmarks he needs to hit. Ferentz’s Hawkeyes need to win 7 games and average 25 points per game in order to get his incentive bonuses, a mark the guys are very eager to track through the upcoming college football season.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger detail all of the biggest arguments currently taking place across the college athletics landscape. In the first undercard fight, the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma are trying to dissolve their contract with the Big 12 early to join the SEC by 2024. Television providers are not happy at this attempt as the negotiations ensue. In the next bout, Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees caught heat from Tim Brown for accepting the Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator job. Brown voiced his opinion on Rees’s performance spearheading the Fighting Irish’s offense last season. Quarterback Jaden Rashada vs the Gator Collective is our third fight of interest. New details of the initial contract emerged and the pod is baffled by Rashada’s representation in the dealings. Our main event was Jim Boeheim taking verbal shots at Pitt, Wake Forest & Miami (FL) for supposedly buying their players last season in a way only Boeheim can. This drew a response from not only Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbes, but also Pitt legend Brandin Knight.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger recap all of the biggest signings and transfers that took place on college football’s National Signing Day. After implementing an early signing period in December, the traditional National Signing Day has lost some of its flare, but there was still plenty of movement. The Arizona State Sun Devils had a big offseason by bringing in 46 new players to the roster to play for new head coach Kenny Dillingham. At the forefront of Arizona State’s recruiting class is quarterback Jaden Rashada, who after being granted his release from Florida following their NIL debacle, chose to head west and play for the Sun Devils. The South Carolina Gamecocks were able to lock down 5-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor as they try to fight for more footing in the SEC. Former Washington Husky quarterback Sam Huard has decided to head to the FCS in order to follow his high school coach & play at Cal Poly in the Big Sky Conference. With the Senior Bowl taking place this week, the gang speculates as to what Stetson Bennett is gaining from not participating in the traditional launching pad to the NFL. Does Bennett even want to play professional football? Lastly, a group of Illinois basketball fans attempted to get over on the University of Iowa in a brand new way. 1:00 National Signing Day 9:30 Nyckoles Harbor chooses the University of South Carolina 18:15 Quarterback Jaden Rashada has committed to Arizona State 44:10 Washington quarterback Sam Huard transfers to Cal Poly 49:45 Does Stetson Bennett want to play professional football? 55:05 The Illinois “Orange Crush” weren’t let into the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball game Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger have a jam packed show today coming off of a wild weekend of football news. To kick off the pod, two-time national champion Stetson Bennett was arrested over the weekend in Texas on public intoxication charges, so the guys discuss how this will impact his draft stock. Former college quarterback Jalen Hurts is making his first appearance in a Super Bowl after the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Hurts, who has led the team all year, has found enough success to make Oklahoma Sooners fans and Alabama Crimson Tide fans argue about who gets bragging rights over the quarterback. The guys reminisce on Jalen Hurts’ rollercoaster journey through college football, only for him to come out on top. In coaching news, Jim Harbaugh took another meeting with the Denver Broncos after Michigan had stated that he will be coaching in Ann Arbor next season. The NCAA is changing their approach to levying NIL violations on coaches and schools: the universities will now have to prove their innocence in a possible violation instead of the NCAA having to prove guilt. Lastly, the Empire State Building celebrated the New York Giants arch-rival Philadelphia Eagles with a light display in Manhattan. The gang discusses how an action like that would go over in a college football rivalry…not well! 1:00 Stetson Bennett was arrested for public intoxication in Dallas, TX 9:35 Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles make a Super Bowl while the Cincinnati Bengals fall just short 28:38 Jim Harbaugh interviewed again with the Denver Broncos 45:30 The NCAA is tightening up on NIL regulations 54:10 New York City’s Empire State Building changed its colors to green and white for the Eagles Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger react to a new in-depth article that covered the North Carolina Tar Heels’ athlete NIL situation and more from around the college football landscape. Before detailing the pros and cons at UNC, the guys react to the Ole Miss Rebels adding two new quarterbacks from the transfer portal. Spencer Sanders joins the team by way of Oklahoma State & Walker Howard joins from LSU. The gang discusses who will likely be leading the Rebels next fall & if any of the team’s current signal callers will leave before then. After that, the pod gives their thoughts on a New York Times article that details the NIL deals of athletes at the University of North Carolina. While some high level basketball players are making a very healthy amount, other sports on campus could suffer in the long-term. In other money news, LSU head football coach Brian Kelly was accidentally given an extra $1 million from the school. The show discusses an innovative new flavor of beer stemming from Minnesota. Lastly, college basketball season is heating up, so the podcast gives a brief overview of one of the biggest matchups from this weekend’s SEC/Big 12 Men’s Basketball Challenge. 1:00 The Ole Miss Quarterback Room is loaded 15:11 An in-depth look at the NIL situation at UNC 40:35 Brian Kelly was accidentally paid an extra $1 million by LSU 49:43 Hormel chili and Modist Brewing have developed a chili cheese flavored pilsner 56:10 College Basketball season is starting to heat up Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Jan 23, 2023

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast breaking down more NIL madness featuring top rated quarterback Jaden Rashada as the Florida Gators collective falls through. Rashada, who is now looking for a new home, left Florida as their $13 million collective was unable to fulfill their promise to get enough money. The gang draws comparisons to the early USFL days & notes that the worst part of this NIL situation is if Jaden Rashada doesn’t even get to play this year. On the flip side of the recruiting spectrum, in back-to-back years Deion Sanders has landed the #1 cornerback prospect out of high school. This year Coach Prime was able to get Cormani McClain to commit to the University of Colorado. Elsewhere in college football, Ed Reed has been vocal about his situation at Bethune-Cookman, which leads the guys to a discussion about how hard it truly is to change the trajectory of a college football program. In professional football, the Cincinnati Bengals were able to beat the Buffalo Bills to keep the AFC Championship game in Kansas City. The option for a neutral site playoff game is off the table and the NFL will have to wait before trying to turn a playoff game into a bowl game. Finally, the People’s Court gives their rulings on a robbery with a stapler and the great Fireball debacle of 2023. 1:00 Jaden Rashada was granted his release from the Florida Gators 29:40 Colorado lands top rated cornerback Cormani McClain 35:20 Ed Reed and Bethune-Cookman University are butting heads 41:36 The NFL tried to sneak a bowl game into the playoffs 48:23 The People’s Court Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Jan 18, 2023

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger are back and kick off the podcast going through the details of a new bill proposal that would give college athletes in California a 50/50 split of athletic revenue — a potential huge shakeup to college athletics as we know it. Ross details how the bill could get approved & the newly found optimism surrounding it. There would be more benefits to the athletes, but how would it affect regular students? Could tuition fees be raised? Which sports would be eligible (and are deserving) of this proposed pay structure? Dan raises the idea that the Olympic sports at universities should not dictate tuition being raised for any student. The premise of the federal government funding these sports is also on the table if more bills like these are passed and sports are deemed cuttable by their universities. In college football news, Lane Kiffin was able to secure LSU transfer quarterback Walker Howard and a college football player entered the transfer portal advertising a school that he never attended. Finally, the podcast ends with some fishing advice in the event that you land a big tuna. 1:00 A new revenue sharing bill for student athletes has been proposed in California 14:15 Would schools risk recruiting advantages by cutting some football funding? 19:00 Are the Olympic Sports worth keeping at universities if general students have to pay for them? 31:40 Should the Olympic sports be funded by the federal government? 43:32 Walker Howard is transferring from LSU to Ole Miss 46:15 A college football transferred from Savannah State while never being on the team 50:47 A fisherman was pulled from his boat after hooking a tuna in Hawaii Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel & SI’s Ross Dellenger break down all of the latest movement in college football from players to administration on today’s podcast. Ross had the chance to speak with new NCAA president Charlie Baker & provides information about what college sports fans should expect from the new administration. Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is leaving his job to become the next president of the Chicago Bears. The podcast looks back on his impact on college football including his alliances and media rights maneuvering. In player movement news, quarterback recruit Jaden Rashada is stirring up drama with likely impending free agency, following a gaffe from the Florida Gators’s NIL collective. The SEC de-commitments continue with the latest big name being Walker Howard, who has left LSU in pursuit of a new program. Coming out of Monday’s title game loss, TCU offensive coordinator Garret Riley and Clemson are in discussions as Dabo Swinney is looking outside of the family to improve the Tigers offense. In Ann Arbor, the Michigan Wolverines can’t stop being vague and cryptic. Their latest head-scratcher stems from head coach Jim Harbaugh replying to a tweet from Michigan’s president. Lastly, Carl’s Jr. is offering an odd pairing with their cheeseburgers — Dan and Ross investigate. 2:35 Ross spoke with new NCAA president Charlie Baker 8:30 Kevin Warren leaves the Big Ten to become the new president of the Chicago Bears 23:35 Jaden Rashada's NIL deal at Florida fell through 34:38 Walker Howard has left LSU 36:30 Garrett Riley is expected to be hired by Clemson 42:30 More cryptic tweets are coming out of Ann Arbor, Michigan 48:30 The NCAA is trying to make a second transfer more difficult than the first 55:00 Carl’s Jr is releasing a wine to pair with their A-1 double cheeseburger Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Jan 10, 2023

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger have a full recap of the Georgia Bulldogs’ dominant win over the TCU Horned Frogs in the College Football Playoff National Championship. It was an ugly game for TCU fans as they saw Georgia run up a winning score of 65-7 in the final game of the 2022 season. The new era of SEC football may be upon us with a repeat champion along with a vibrant program in Athens, GA. Kirby Smart looks to have taken the throne from Nick Saban with this victory. The pod speculates if Alabama’s dynasty is truly over after seeing what the Georgia Bulldogs were capable of yet again. Stetson Bennett had another fantastic playoff appearance, so speculation ensues about his draft stock. The fellas also take a look at Pat’s way too early top-25 teams heading into the 2023 college football season and Dan relays a story of North Dakota State fans drinking a plane dry on the way to Frisco, TX.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger have their full breakdown of the biggest game of the year as the TCU Horned Frogs face off against the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Before getting into the preview, the guys provide details for their upcoming live show in Los Angeles at the CFP Main Stage. As fun as the Playoff Fan Central activities will be, Sofi Stadium and the CFP are not allowing fans at the game to tailgate beforehand causing much consternation ahead of college football's biggest game. This decision disappointed the guys greatly, prompting the show to offer alternatives to tailgating close to the stadium. In non-CFP title news, the disingenuous grifter is back in the FBS, as Bobby Petrino is being hired by the Texas A&M Aggies to be the next offensive coordinator in College Station & the NCAA Transformation Committee has proposed a possible expansion to the March Madness bracket. The fellas wish the committee luck as they try to tamper with the most popular tournament in America. The show then breaks down the upcoming national championship between the TCU Horned Frogs and Georgia Bulldogs. TCU will try to create as much mayhem against the rock-solid Georgia team in a David vs. Goliath re-enactment this upcoming Monday.

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger get together to recap this weekend's remaining college football bowl games. Before analyzing the New Year’s Six bowl games, reports have come out that Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh could be looking to coach in the NFL next season. Speculation is growing after Jim Harbaugh attempted to become the next head coach of the Minnesota Vikings last summer, along with his desire to finally get a Super Bowl ring. The pod discusses whether or not they think he will go back to the NFL & who could fill his shoes at Michigan if a departure for the pros does indeed happen. There was a fantastic slate of bowl games this week that included Tulane stepping up and winning the Cotton Bowl over USC in dramatic fashion. Out west at the Rose Bowl, Penn State capped off their season on a high note by beating Utah. Mississippi State was able to put closure on their season with a gritty win against Illinois in the ReliaQuest Bowl and finally, it would only be right to discuss Iowa beating Kentucky 21-0 in the Music City Bowl. 4:22 Will Jim Harbaugh leave Michigan for the NFL 18:40 Where does Michigan go if Jim Harbaugh leaves 32:20 Tulane stuns USC in the Cotton Bowl 46:24 Penn State wins the Rose Bowl over Utah 35-21 49:35 Mississippi State takes the victory over Illinois in the Reliaquest Bowl 55:00 Iowa wins 21-0 against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB .

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger recap all the excitement from the college football playoff semifinals on today’s pod. The guys start with the shootout in Atlanta where the Georgia Bulldogs just barely outlasted the Ohio State Buckeyes in a 42-41 thriller. A shaky start from Georgia and Stetson Bennett gave Ohio State hope, but the Bulldogs escaped on a last-second missed field goal.

Dec 28, 2022

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger give their full breakdowns for the College Football Playoff semifinals matchups between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Ohio State Buckeyes & the Michigan Wolverines taking on the TCU Horned Frogs. Before we get to the game previews and predictions, the guys chat about new developments in whether bowl games could start distributing money to the players who participate in them. Ross details how the future structure could incentivize players who would opt out to play in the bowl games instead. Along with compensation, the bowls could be looking to raise the eligibility requirement by having teams need a winning record in order to play. In transfer portal news, former Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman has entered the transfer portal for his final year, seemingly in an attempt to make more NIL money before heading to the NFL. Elsewhere, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy was fiery with a reporter after losing his bowl game to Wisconsin, so the guys speculate who was in the right. Bringing it back to the two semifinal matchups, the Ohio State Buckeyes will be challenging the Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta this weekend, while the TCU Horned Frogs will look to keep their Cinderella season alive in their game against the Michigan Wolverines at the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona.

Dec 12, 2022

Dan Wetzel, SI’s Pat Forde & SI’s Ross Dellenger are back with a fresh podcast as the coaching carousel turns ahead of bowl season. Before talking about recruiting and new coaching hires, the show gives their best to Mike Leach and his family following the news of his hospitalization.

Jul 21, 2022

SEC Media Days wrapped up in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon and there was one common theme: the coaches don't like NIL. Nick Saban called it, "a competitive balance issue."

After reports last week that the College Football Playoff would not expand beyond its four-team format until the 2026 season, Dan Wetzel and SI's Pat Forde continue to dissect the fallout in order to figure out who's to blame and what's coming next. While Dan argues that the move handed the SEC all the leverage, a recent Los Angeles Times column theorizes the move to delay expansion may be more harmful to the SEC in the short term, while allowing more time for conferences like the Pac-12 to beef up their contenders in order to make a legitimate championship push in 2026 and beyond. Dan & Pat break down this argument and press on with this subject that is sure to dominate college football headlines for the next four years. Moving onto basketball, the guys wonder if the NBA's adoption of the Elam Ending for the All-Star Game should be broadened to encompass all college and pro games, eliminating a timed fourth quarter altogether. Later, they talk about Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's final week coaching regular season games before his retirement at the end of this season & how next week's home finale is the priciest ticket in North Carolina. Finally, the guys close out the show discussing the Massachusetts man arrested for attempting to enter a tiger enclosure at Boston's Franklin Park Zoo & the woman arrested at Orlando International Airport for drunkenly fleeing the police on a piece of motorized luggage.
