Transfer Portal vs the CFP, SMU Head Coach Rhett Lashlee Joins, Expectations for Bill Belichick & Playoff Picks

The first every 12-team playoff is here, but the focus of the college football is...the transfer portal? Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone take a dive into the world of NIL and the transfer portal as the unthinkable has happened: players opting out in the middle of their teams championship run. The most prominent example is in Happy Valley where backup quarterback Beau Pribula, and his nine touchdowns, entering the portal ahead of Penn State's first round game against SMU. Back to the field, Mark takes you inside Heisman weekend and Travis Hunter joining the fraternity. (1:40) The SMU Mustangs shocked the college football world with an incredible season and a spot in the College Football Playoff. Head Coach Rhett Lashlee joined the guys and shared his blueprint behind their first year in the ACC and their plan for the freezing temperatures at Penn State this weekend.

Coach Meyer talks about his first extension when he was at Florida before the guys gave their thoughts on college football's newest head coach, Bill Belichick. They then picked the four first round games, SMU at Penn State, Clemson at Texas, Indiana at Notre Dame, and Tennessee at Ohio State.
